Wandering through landscapes - 07-16-2025
Begin: I had just stepped out of a building into a cobblestone street. It was about 10 feet wide with closely spaced stone buildings on each side. On the opposite side was a door into a building. I went across and entered through the door. The interior appeared to be a large restaurant with several rooms, but it was vacant. I was in a hall between some of the rooms. It was painted white with Mediterranean style paintings of leafy shrubs, spaced so as not to be crowded.
I continued down the hall a little ways and it opened int a small lobby. To my left was a counter with a lady seated behind it. We did not speak. In front of me a little to the right was a double glass door. On the floor was a heavy "Y" shaped brace holding them shut. A large muscular man appeared and removed the brace so I could exit, which I did.
Outside I was in a similar but wider street. To my right was a wagon and another large muscular man, who did not interact with me. I wandered off around the wagon, giving it and the man a fairly wide berth.
Now the scene was a park, with a number of people in it, including children, and there were benches. By one of the benches I looked at a box in which was a reptile, about 5 pounds, that I thought was dead, but it woke up, climbed out of the box and headed down the slope to a large pond. This pond was swarming with very strange fish and reptiles.
I continued around the pond a ways up the slope and soon found myself at the edge of a cliff. There was another man there to whom I spoke briefly. The cliff was quit high and the ground below continued to slope downward. To my left, in the distance, I could see a small village.
I continued to my right along the edge of the cliff, and came to a place where the cliff had collapsed into a slope I could work my way down. I did not walk toward the village which was to my left, but again to the right.
The scene now was on a narrow dirt road. I was accompanied by a young woman, maybe 22, in a yellow sun dress. To my left was a long slope going down to a very large pond. On the other side of the pond was a large white building in Indian style that I thought to be a hotel
The young woman and I walked a little ways so we were even with the right edge of the pond and just a little past the building. Here we found a cascade of water going down to the pond. It went down in large steps. The young woman stepped into the water and started down. I warned here that what awaited her at the bottom was unknown and could be dangerous. She paid no attention and worked her way down toward the lake. Not far above lake level was a small patio partially covered with the water. She stepped onto the patio and was lead away by a woman. My view of them was blocked by vegetation so I don't know where they went.
At this time a thick sheet of glass appeared between me and the cascade. It had many lines of blue lettering, about 1-1/2 inches high, across it on the side opposite me. I could not read the lettering. A woman appeared on that side and started scraping off the lettering. I left the dream for the waking world at this point.
End.
