Jack
This dream takes place in a warehouse and loading dock area. At the opening I am looking along the length of a loading dock from it's near corner. There were several pairs of railroad rails to the right of it and warehouses at dock level to the left, with about 20 feet of dock width. the dock was about 4 feet above the rails. The equipment looked like it was from the very early 20th century.
The two persons involved (other than myself as an observer) were Asian, of some ethnicity, but I don't know what ethnicity, or even if they were of an ethnicity that exists in the waking world.
The only person in the area was a tall man with black hair, dressed in dark business clothes and wearing a narrow brimmed black hat. He looked disheveled and dejected. He stood near me at the corner of the dock. I do not remember the cause, but I knew he had become seriously disgraced by some action of his.
He turned and went up steps to the dock and headed to the left, where he entered a warehouse. He was walking slowly through the warehouse. Some 30 feet to the right, up an wide isle between rows of crated goods, stood a woman. She wore a full length black dress, cinched at the waist, had black hair, and was probably in her 40s. She turned and saw the man and cried out "Jack!", "Jack!", "Jack!" as she came running. She came upon him so fast that when she grabbed him her momentum spun them both all the way around.
She stood in front of him, clutching him, and said, "Jack, kiss me! Kiss me now!". Jack did not respond but was looking straight ahead over her, not recognizing her presence, and as if very confused. She continued holding on to him and looking up at his face, but was starting to look confused too.
I knew exactly what his confusion was. He had become seriously disgraced. This woman, by coming to him intimately, a disgraced man, was disgracing herself. Though he was himself already disgraced, should he kiss a now disgraced woman, an act that would disgrace him? Would it further disgrace her? Did it matter now?
These were clearly very serious considerations in their culture. I do not know how this was resolved, because I started waking up at this point, and there was no semi-awake period in between the dream world and the waking world this time. I could only rehearse what I'd seen and heard to set it in memory.
