A bus, a coffin and a burial...

[loray]

The dream started out with me waiting at a bus stop with a row of shops behind it, I had never been to this place before...I was waiting at the bus stop for a considerable amount of time, and when the bus arrived I couldn't find my ticket. I got really stressed about this and the bus driver escorted me off the bus and walked me into a dark, gothic looking church-like building. There was a group of teenagers carrying out small coffins and walking along the road, almost in a parade...I picked up a coffin, and was told that inside it was the body of a small child called Emily. I followed the teenagers with the coffins, until we entered a graveyard...I then had to bury Emily. It was all very strange this dream, as I was more upset on losing my bus ticket, than I was on burying the small child. I felt no emotion when carrying the coffin, or burying the child... Someone please explain!

Someone please explain! Have you ever read "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte. It is arguably the best first novel in the English Language, perhaps the best novel of any category -- the first book of a 22 year old girl. And it was Emily's only novel. She died soon after it was published. We can lament that we may have perhaps lost so many other wonderful books that she may have written; however, her sister Charlotte wrote another great book, "Jane Eyre", and though she lived longer, her subsequent works were no better than middling second rate. So we can't necessarily look upon Emily as having been stopped before she really got going. "Wuthering Heights" may have been her finest work had she written ten others. Anyway, you were MEANT to lose your bus ticket. You were not meant to take any trip. The Bus Driver showed you that you were to help bury Emily -- that THAT would be your journey. So, have you ever read "Wuthering Heights"?

No, I have never read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte...

But upon occasion, I'll have one with some emotions. So, I don't think it is strange that you didn't feel anything, when you were to burry the child. Perhaps the children have something to do with your inner-child, since all of the people carrying the coffin were teenagers and they were burrying children. Perhaps it is your subconcious telling you it is time for you to have more fun and nurish your inner child Well, anyway, I took a shot at it
