| Dream: "My Castle” | April 5 1997 ~ Saturday |
|
[Went to bed at midnight, woke with headache, took a pill and slept on couch until 5 PM]
Act 1 "The Name": I dream that I am someone else. I had a name that sounded foreign, like "Raspeutin" [but that wasn't it]. It started with an "M", (I think).
Act 2 "The Service" I am shown a large stone building. I take it to be a very big church. I am told it is a small castle. The man has died and I seem to be at the funeral service. It is a grand event, lots of rich folk and church-higher-ups. It's never really clear but I get the impression that he may have been in the clergy (toward the end of his life). They know that I am (that is... was) him. I suppose I was he in my past like but then I wonder how I could be there, full-grown, at the funeral service. I wonder if the dream (telling me that I am "so & so") could have been wrong, but if so, where did I get the name? The people there don't seem to think anything is out of place. I am told the story. ~ He amassed a great wealth; $5 Million. At a big party, he was gambling and won another 6 million. Then someone suggested that he bet his castle (which was worth 15 million) and he did. He lost. ~ Act 2, Scene 2 At the end, everybody is leaving. I have questions. I see a man who looks from the back like the one they call "professor" on Sliders. I run to him and walk in front of him and as I do he turns. I keep moving to get in front of him but he keeps turning so that he is never quite facing me. Finally I get in front of him and he stops. He is not the man from the TV show. He has a mysterious, almost mystical look to him. I ask him a question. He says that he cannot answer and he walks off.
Act 3 "Beautiful Landscape" [This may have happened before Act 1] I look at the country side. It is the view from one side of the castle. It is the most beautiful I've ever seen. I look and look, admiring the view in awe. I ask the man standing next to me (whom I don't recall before I asked) "What is this place?". He answers with a phrasing that I couldn't quite understand [and don't quite remember], "Well, it is {part} of {what once was} New Jersey.", or something like that. I am amazed and ask (half joking) "Earth?", as if no place in our New Jersey could ever be that beautiful.
Act 4 "The Flight" They go four-wheeling around some big dirt track. They let me go along for one lap. Then they go on without me. Act 4, Scene 2; I start to fly. I fly around the track that they are driving on. I just keep flying around and around. It is wonderful. I see the people. They are surprised. I fly and fly for a long time. [The longest flight time by far of any dream I can recall.] I begin to know that I am dreaming. I just keep flying. I change direction at will. I speed up and slow down. I can't seem to go as fast as the truck and I wonder why. I know that I am dreaming. I look closely at some things to see how clear they will be. I am surprised. I can see as much detail as when I am awake. I am impressed with the graphic quality. I fly and fly!
Act 5 "The Other Side" I am on the other side of the castle now. I realize after a few minutes of looking and wondering about the houses I see. They take away from the view. I tell a man I didn't notice them before.
Act 6 "Telling Mom" I [dream that] I wake up, and tell Mom about the dream. She says, "Is losing money a recurring theme?"!
[I am baffled by this response.]
