Dream Log

Just remembering my dream now, I had a very strange dream last night that I think may have related to greek myth and the other.

I had a dream where I was walking through a museum surrounded with sculptures of magestic men and women, very similar looking to sculptures and pictures of gods and goddesses. Then immediately I was sitting on a rock near a huge pool where a boat carrying people stayed anchored in the center of the pool. We just exchanged looks for while until someone jumped out of the boat and came at me screaming and crying. As a result of this quick and loud experience during my dream, I woke up immediately.

Thinking about the dream now, I realize that the boat and people on the boat may have came from Dante's inferno, where there was a boat which carried the souls of the underworld. The notion and ideas of hades/hell/underworld is explored very often in greek myth and the other. It also contributes to the ideas of otherness, which we continue to delve into.

I'm not sure if my dream meant to tell me something or hint at my future (hopefully not), however its connections to the class were very prevalent and fascinating.
