Last night I saw an old friend that I haven't seen in WAY TOO LONG. I realized how much I missed him. Sometimes I kind of feel like he and I were like twins separated at infinity or something.
Someone told me, somehow I found out, that he was in a motorcycle accident. I was nowhere near the hospital, but I gained lucidity. I felt a desperate rush to utilize my lucidity and get to the hospital immediately. I willed it so.
As I showed up at the door, it was a county hospital, and there were hundreds of people waiting in line to be seen. I rushed at a doctor, and asked him to take me to my friend. He tried to brush me off saying, "There are thousands of people here. I don't know who your friend is. Why should I help you? Others were in line first."
Fine. But this is my dream. So I puffed myself up. I became twice his size. I forced energy at him. I grabbed him by the upper part of both arms, looked deep into his infinite being, and said, "Take me to him right now." He became a frightened child.
He handed me my friend's medical records, and in a hypnotized voice said, "He's on level two. All the way in the back, to the right. Ask the head nurse. The nurses love him."
I laughed, of course they do. So I walked away, heading to his room. I looked at the records. He had gotten ahold of them himself, and had doodled all over them. I laughed again, at the curiosity and creativity that is his mind. I missed him more. I finally made it to his room, after pushing past people, things, stuff. Really a feat for my lucid dreaming mind. I usually get caught up in details and forget my objective.
He was there in bed. His face all abrasions. A bandage wrapped around his head. Still as handsome as a Persian Prince ought to be. I jumped on his bed, hugging him out of sleep. But tight, so I really would have upset a broken rib or two. He sat up and hugged me back, and it was a happy reunion. I kissed his sores and told him that his casanova days might very well be shortened by a couple of months. He laughed and pointed to a couple of nurses peeking around the corner at me. It made me laugh from the pit of my stomach.
Then I woke up.

Many people reported having dreams about hospitals and surgery. This appears to be a relatively common dream setting. Most of us are in some need of healing. The healing may be physical, psychological, emotional or spiritual. By paying attention to this dream you may be able to identify the source of your pain, and where and how the healing needs to take place. Think about why you or someone else was in the hospital in the dream. You may ask yourself, "What is going on in the dream? What is the prognosis, and what is the cure?" Answering these questions in light of a situation or issue from your daily life could be very helpful and, at times, enlightening. Therefore, try not to get upset by your dream, but rather pay attention to its message.

In the Zohar, the ‘magic head’ stands for astral light (9); in mediaeval art
it is a symbol for the mind (46) and for the spiritual life, which explains the
frequency with which it appeared in decorative art. On the other hand, Plato in
Timaeus asserts that ‘the human head is the image of the world’. In corroboration
of this, Leblant points out that the skull, the semi-spherical crown of the human
body, signifies the heavens. Clearly, the head-symbol here coalesces with that of
the sphere as a symbol of Oneness. It had the same significance in Egyptian
hieroglyphics (19). The eagle’s head has been used as a solar symbol and an
emblem of the centre-point of emanation—that is, of the cosmic flame and the
spiritual fire of the universe (4). Two, three or four heads shown in juxtaposition
symbolize a corresponding intensification of a given aspect of head-symbolism.
Thus, the Gemini, a symbol of the duality of Nature, or of the integrating (but not
unifying) link between the two principles of creation, are represented by beings
with two heads or two faces, like the Roman Janus for example. Hecate is depicted with three heads—she is called triform for this reason—a symbolism
which may be related to the ‘three levels’ of heaven, earth and hell, as well as to
Diel’s three ‘urges of life’ (15). The juxtaposition of four heads or faces, as in the
image of Brahma the Supreme Lord, stems from the same symbolism as that of
the tetramorph (60). A factor of major importance bearing upon the symbolism of
the head is mentioned by Herbert Kühn, in his L’Ascension de l’humanité (Paris,
1958). He makes the point that the decapitation of corpses in prehistoric times
marked Man’s discovery of the independence of the spiritual principle, residing
in the head, as opposed to the vital principle represented by the body as a whole.
Kühn adds that Neolithic thought was very close to the mediaeval in its conviction that an eternal and invisible essence underlies all appearances (Plate XV).

A symbol of individuality—of private thoughts. The windows symbolize the possibility of understanding and of passing through to the external and
the beyond, and are also an illustration of any idea of communication. Hence, a
closed room lacking windows may be symbolic of virginity, according to Frazer,
and also of other kinds of non-communication. Many rites involving the
enclosureimage are performed to mark the reaching of puberty, all over the world.
The legend about Danae, shut up by her father in a bronze tower, pertains to this
particular symbolism. There is a Siberian legend concerning a ‘dark house of iron’
which is also relevant to it (21). We might also mention the ‘vase with a lid’, one
of the eight emblems of good luck in Chinese Buddhism, and a symbol of wholeness, of the idea with no ‘exit’, or, in other words, of supreme intelligence triumphant over birth and death (signified respectively by the doors and windows of
the room) (5). This explains why the hermetically sealed room may possibly be
a variant form of the ‘vase with a lid’.
