Notes on the images in this dream from psychology, myth, folklore and semiotics. Each names its source.
Book
Could you read the book? Did it belong to you, or did someone hand it over?
Hebrew prophets Myth & scripture
In a vision Ezekiel is handed a scroll written inside and out with “lamentations, and mourning, and woe”, told to eat it, and finds it “as honey for sweetness”. Taking a text into the body is how the message is received. (A vision, not a dream.)
Ezekiel 2:9–3:3 (King James Version)
Christian scripture Myth & scripture
In Revelation John is told to take a little book from an angel’s hand and eat it: sweet as honey in the mouth, bitter in the belly. The same book is both. (A vision, not a dream.)
Revelation 10:9–10 (King James Version)
Exploration notes, not a diagnosis, a prediction, or evidence of real events.
