And this morning my Lord spoke to me of his dream of the night before. And he said to me, “My dear scribe, last night as I slept, I dreamt. And in this dream I entered a cave, and the further I walked, the darker it became. And the darker it became, the louder my footsteps sounded. And the louder my footsteps sounded, the faster my heart began to beat. And the faster my heart began to beat, the harder I found it to breathe. And the harder I found it to breathe, the greater my wish to scream. And the greater my wish to scream, the more desperately I tried to wake. And the more desperately I tried to wake, the less sure I was that I dreamt. And the less sure I was that I dreamt, the more I began to wonder if this life in the High Palace was the dream. And the more I began to wonder if this life in the High Palace was the dream, the sadder I became that I had no memory of any other.”
