Water that reveals the soul - Pure hearted men


There is a Dr. Jeremy Taylor, who claims that when someone dies in a dream it can often symbolize change of oneself. If this is true then I have died in my sleep many times the last year. For example a dream I had a while back.

This dream started out with a scene about a man from India, after he put his hands in water, and the water turned white, and it became clear that he was pure of heart. I liked this man, but couldn't be with him, because of a division of culture. As a good man it was important to his culture that he did not end up with a white girl like me. Then an Indian female decided to have me undergo the same test with the water. In went my hands, and the water turned a bluish green. It was clear that this meant I was tied to growth, and life.

The women explained that while normally it would be a shame for this man to end up with someone so white the test shows we two are extremely compatible. So she would help us get together.

First she told me, "You have to hide because men where coming who would kill you if they see you." So I ran down a hall, in what turned out to be a local mosque, and into a side door. It was a men's bathroom. The men came in to pee, found me, and shot me dead.

My body was placed by the bowl of water. The pure hearted man came and saw me. He came and knelt beside me. He cried because he had loved me, and stabbed himself.

When I woke up I realized the whole thing was very Romeo and Juliet.

I have a habit of having dreams that will come true, as it turns out this one did have a base in the future, but it was not about love. Unless, it hasn't come true quite, yet. I think my record is predicting something in a dream six months before hand, and that was a very big thing.

Sadly, I cannot tell a dream that will come true from one that will not.

P.S.
I do not mean this entry to be in anyway racist, but we do live in a racist/sexist world so my dreams do sometimes reflect that.

The man that I believe this dream was about does not go to a mosque. In fact, he is Hindu. I think that the whole mosque setting must have meaning, but it cannot be taken at its surface value.

There was a man I interviewed (class project) at that mosque just last year, and he seemed like a very nice young man, and also pure of heart. Perhaps, I felt that both of these men are good men, and they are both of another races my mind formed a connection between the two.

Maybe my dream was telling me that this man would change my racist views (almost everyone is in some way racist) just as the man at the mosque must have. In a sense, this would be a double death, and a double change.
