A dream: As the dream begins you see large shades of black and white and they seem to move past you, at blinding speed they whir past you. You see walls made of stone, and iron bars, roughly as though through a fog. More clearly now you can see more coming into focus in front of you. You see a woman, her hand outstretched towards you. She has brown hair braided in the back, showing on each side a large circular earrings made of gold. She wears a tiara or circlet made of gold, it has lots of winding patterns and forms almost a large scallop on the top. It is impressive but has no gems studded and is fairly simple in form for it's type. She has brown eyes and fair skin, with a mild tan. Her lips slightly tinted red. She wears clothes made of regal cloth, in a yellow color, with a colored fringe with a pattern of different colors. She is most certainly some kind of nobility. You do not hear her speak and you do not see her move, she appears frozen in this moment, unmoving, unwavering, you get the sense from her that she wants something from you or maybe she wants you to do something, but what? You can see the things around her as if they were in the edges of painting. Stone, stone bricks cut and put together with mortar. You see iron bars they seem to block some of your sight of her, you can feel a heavy weight apon you, almost like it is hard to breath. You feel weak in this place and you are not sure why. You have a sense of danger, of foreboding, is this woman before you a savior or your demise, you are not sure. Her hand still outstretched she stands almost as if she is waiting for something. There is something familiar about her face. Almost as if you have seen it before, somewhere else, on someone else maybe. She has a fire in her eyes, a determination, this too seems so familiar to you. What will you do? Attempt to reach your hand out to meet hers? Or withhold it and withdraw back from her? Will she be your savior or your demise?
