"A Trip Downtown" (Night of Friday, October 7, 2015)

Events of the Day:

Did a round of the Sitio Catacutan Food Court in the morning. Passed by T.'s Internet cafe to inform him that I need to postpone our previously scheduled trip to Lucky Chinatown.

Did some knitting work.

In the evening, Angelique and her friends continued their marketing survey in our neighborhood. Dinner at M.'s cafe.

Aubrey arrived 8:45 PM and decided to go to bed without dinner.

Viewed the last Brother Cadfael episode in my collection.

Slept extra early.


The Dream:

I am with two young men. We are in the Sta. Cruz district [bridge to the location of Lucky Chinatown]. We have been shopping for necessities before hitting the road to go on some kind of pilgrimage [bridge to the Brother Cadfael episode]. I am holding the money purse. I allot certain amounts to the two young men as we buy things. After we are done we decide to go on our way, but one of the young men says, "Maghiwalay tayo," meaning that we should temporarily split up in case someone tries to stage a hold-up and make away with our money and goods [bridge to such a scene in the Brother Cadfael episode].

I walk on, but see my companions from a distance. We cross the compound of a children's school, where we stop a while to rest.


My Interpretation:

The dream has nothing to do with T. and Lucky Chinatown; both merely served as a collective springboard for the dream.

Two very young men, boys, actually, have approached me of late to serve as apprentices for magical work and research. I am as yet uncommitted to them, although in the dream my psyche has already taken them on and we have begun a journey.

The image of the children's school conveys to me the present level of magical knowledge of the two young men. They need to be taught essentials from scratch before we can proceed any further.
