Hello all, This is my first real post in this part of mysticwicks so please do bear with me. I had a very strange yet vivid dream. The first part of it I can easily recognize and understand. I had an interesting finale though and this is what Ids like to share.
So I found myself halfway through my dream (basicly I had been on my college's campus during the new semester.) I was in the basement of a building that I have not really had classes anymore. So Im with other people from my program whom I know and we have just rushed from one of our other classes (which is a genuine worry based upon what my schedule looks like) and we find our class. Now In the dream it's actually a philosophy course...but in reality the class I am taking as my GenEd is the Philosophy of Love and Sex.
Anyways, so we find the class finally and we are late, and the hallway seemes strange soemhow. The door is the strangest part. Basicly there is meter high slanted blocker, blocking the bottom half of the door. At the top there is a screen, that although it's easy to see through if I try to lift it light seemed to come from nowhere and stream into the classroom. Through the screen I can see a movie being played. A voice says from within the classroom that, "I dont think we should show the other classes this movie." I begin to watch the movie from the outside, and it looks like some mythological animated special.
Heres the interesting part, the movie was so vivid and clear that I can rememebr it as well as the images very clearly. basicly what it was about, and i in the dream had gotten there late so I didnt see the beginning was a Hero (unnamed) was to try and kill a giant bull at the request of an older well dressed man. The older man fit the very stereotypical description of what a sorcerer in like a Disney movie might where...long robe, long white beard...staff. lol. Anyways, so the hero goes to find this bull. The bull is massive and it is grazing in a clear forest of redwoods. Now the bull it's self was kind of strange, and I dont know if this is my brain just changing it to look more animated or what but during the film everything became more real. Anyways...so it had a longer snout, much longer body, medium size slim legs with very large hooves.
Theres a struggle and the bull finally falls to the ground exhausted and close to deah. This is another strange part, the bull is NOT dead through out the rest of the dream but paralyzed. So the sorcerer cuts into the bulls stomach and retrieves from it a book of wisdom. At this time the feeling is therte more than the words that this Sorcerer is not telling all of the truth and he disappears. The Hero looks at the bull whoi is still alive and in agony and drags it to a secluded field. He says "I will bury you among the beautiful redwoods, and hope that your death was not in vain. I shall build my house upon your grave so no one will defile it."
At this point the movie ends, and its still very dark in the classroom. It goes more into interesting philosophy then...with one of my old professors rom a yar ago. Anyway...I dunno...words cant really put into words what i saw but I would definitly like thoughts. The first thing that I thought when I woke up, apart from "oh...oh wait Im not going to have that teacher" was "hmm, the Bull and hero sounds very much like Mithras...but hmm"
Anyways what do you think?
Namaste
