*Cargo* (0m55s) explores the crossing from fantasy to dream and the intertwining of magical and capitalist ideas in the formation of a narrative that marries past and present cosmologies. The name mentions Cargo Cults, religious movements that arose from the contact between indigenous people and western military personnel and their supplies ("cargo").

*Dreams* (0m57s) talks about the duality between dreams and fantasy. After admitting to never reflect consciously on its dreams, in the same way we avoid doing while playing, a girl fantasizes about a rich husband and his affair with the secretary, inspired by the classic dream of falling and the fantasy of marrying rich. It hints on a direction of being better to fantasize about dying rich than any other fantasy that doesn’t involve visions of money. It also explores the difference between play and fantasy, which according to Freud would be the feeling of shame connected with the fantasy in adults, while the children play freely with formulations and possibilities of life/death in its instrument to explore the sacred and profane: play.
