Night of November 12, 1993. Friday.
In my dream, I am in La Crosse, walking south down the right-hand side of State Street, after apparently having left the post office after sending my wife-to-be a letter. (The images show the exact locations from my dream.)
As I am walking along, I notice the presence of a beautiful young nun about six feet behind me and walking to my right. She looks at me somewhat suspiciously as we walk along and I turn back to admire her (it is actually my wife-to-be in a nun's outfit/habit). For some reason, we seem to be on the Isle of Man - which makes no sense from a personal perspective. During this time, a miniature whirlwind, but with a sort of unusual muffled traffic-like sound, moves up and down my right arm and I notice I have the leg and hoof of a cow - which seems to have occult repercussions - and making me incompatible with the idea of romance with the nun. She continues to eye me a bit suspiciously yet also seems strongly attracted to me. I lift my cow hand up a bit to ponder what is going on. It changes back and forth a few times with a very vivid impression in imagery and sensations and a sort of buzzing, muffled audio. I feel somewhat embarrassed and am wondering what the girl thinks. It seems to happen spontaneously but I eventually try to control it. Am I really a cow or a devil? I do not think so. The girl still seems to want to be with me, though, as we walk along, but I do not stop or talk to her. I do not want to draw attention to my half-cow self in public.
My wife-to-be is on my right side on the right-hand side of the street ("nun" often being a play on "nine" in our communications relating to Yin and Yang symbolic variations - for example six and nine forming the symbol - but also as a "higher self" persona), both implying future paths (left being the past, right being the future, just as in English reading orientation and the number-line). I associate the cow with "herd mentality", that is, a "normal" human consensus mentality - which is usually quite "alien" to me on every level and near-impossible to relate to realistically (without enhanced acting skills). Basically it is saying that I am embarrassed about any human-like thoughts (or being a part of "herd mentality" or consensus) whenever they occur and I am trying not to "show such a hand" of herd mentality should I be in public and "getting ahead" in trying to do this (as my wife is walking behind me in her "higher" persona). That is one level looked at personally, anyhow.
