Angelo wakes up on a Sunday to a rather disturbing dream. He runs to meet his friend, Matteo, to tell him about it and see what he thinks it means. Finding Matteo, Angelo tells him that in his dream, he was in a room with Mussolini back in Italy, and the fascist asked Angelo to stay in Italy and help him run the country for an attractive salary. Upon declining, Mussolini doubled over, dead, and filled the room with the worst stench imaginable. Upon hearing this dream, Matteo is convinced that this must be a vision, but he needs to hear the opinions of others. Having a big mouth, Matteo drags Angelo around their neighborhood to visit different Italian-American immigrants and ask them what they thought of the situation. People suggest that it means the end of fascism, the liberty of Italy, and many other interpretations; as they interject with how they interpret his dream, Angelo has less and less say in what his dream even meant. He complains that this was his dream to begin with, and he should have more of a say in what it could mean, but they silence him, saying that anyone could've had the dream, but not everyone can accurately interpret it. They elaborate that the dream is no longer solely his—it belongs to the public now. Despondent, Angelo walks away from the group of Italians excitedly celebrating the different interpretations of the dream. Passing by another friend, he informs him of the dream, saying that it was not only him who had it—five other men had it as well.
