"Woman Dreams" is a story from The Mee St Chronicles: Straight up stories of Black Woman's Life written by the author Frankie Lennon. In this story the narrator goes through the Steps of Integration written by James L Helmuth. One of the stages that I placed the narrator is in the Pre Coming Out stage in which she becomes aware that she is different since she is attracted to female than male celebrities like Rita Hartworth. She also begins to question herself if her friends feel the same way that she does.
I also placed her in the Coming Out to Self stage where she starts to have a crush on her female celebrities and making up romantic scripts about that certain person. She begins to show shame and fear of what her friends may think about her when she reveals her true identity. The narrator is aware that she is different than her friends but she does not know the real meaning of having a different attraction.
