THEME/S
Experiences in Sleep: Last night I had been to some palatial Court where many kings were present in a gold-plated room. The atmosphere was like that of a Swayamvara, where all big kings were invited and the princess was going to find out her lost husband.... The princess was moving with a brand new earthen pot, containing some grains. She was moving to each king and was offering him the pot and was waiting in intent expectancy. She finished her turn to each of them but was not satisfied with the responseless behaviour of the kings who were present.... A servant entered the Court and announced that a very beautiful black man wanted to enter the Court.... All were amazed by this news and were waiting to see what is happening the next moment.... The princess at once ordered the servant to show the man in… and there entered…I… amidst the amazement of all. The princess offered me a gold chair… all began to laugh and sneer at her, but she was very decisive in her movements and did not care for their taunts.... She came smiling and offered the earthen pot and opened it.... I kept my hand on the pot for some time and returned the pot, saying—"Put some water in it, and the grains will be cooked, no fire will be required.... up to this everything tended towards a happy ending, but as soon as the garland was raised to put around my neck, I withdrew from that happy scene.... A. It looks like a vital dream (I mean something "created" on the stuff of the vital plane). It does not seem to be symbolic.
