I often dream about Strawberry. Last night was different, there was the usual stuff, trouble with the cabins, interacting with Martha and the other help. But I did some I haven't done in a dream before. I went explore up river. I went around a rock, had to walk on a ledge just under the water, then up and around to the left. That would be to the north on a river flowing east to west as the Stanislaus does. Then walking up a canyon to the north I came upon another resort community, one geared toward senior citizens as they are referred to. I talk with some of them and checked out the houses and community resources. All very nice, first class. End of chapter one.
In the next dream I found my self in what seemed to be a large and classy hotel. There were many room, restaurants, nightclubs, lounges, sitting rooms, etc. All very nice with a feel of some thing old. Some of the women were dress as old time dancers and saloon girls, with red and black ruffled skirts and white tops trimmed with lace. I could not find a way out. I asked a porter. He told me there was no way out and directed me to a large patio. This was very interesting. it seemed to be fifty feet or more off the ground. There were nice antique metal tables and chairs. Two side were surround by the hotel, the other enclosed by guard rails. Also metal and antique. There were a number of large potted plants and other decorations. The floor was metal mesh, one could look down through it to see the elaborate metal post and frame work holding it all up. I found a way to crawl down through the floor and was able to slide down the post to the ground. There I found the usual infrastructure of a large hotel. In fact large enough for a whole city and surrounding community. I became aware the the hotel was indeed part of a community separate from the rest of the world. The privileged class above, the outcast below....
I myself feel that I am caught between two worlds, the old one I knew and the new one I am starting to enter. Was this a look back?
