Dream

a dream started with waking up in a dark room, not knowing where i was, and all around me i found people with masks.
when i got up the only thing I saw was a mirror. and i was dressed in Louis XIV style clothes, and it appeared i was in a palace. the people that where around me, where no longer there. the only thing that was left was boxes in the the colours of the rainbow.

with two boxes brought to the front, how, or who did that i do not know, but the Blue and pink box was there a bit more to the front, flanked by the brightest red box, it drew my attention. although my love for Blue and pink was a force to be reckoned with to.

A voice told me to pick widely, as I could only open the one box, i wondered, what to do… And i choose what my feeling told me, it had never failed me so far, and if it had ever done, it was for the best in the log run. I choose red, as in scarlet red, with an oily shine.

I opened the box, inside i found a parchment roll with a seal, and what appeared to be clothes wrapped in silver silk. The voice that I had heard before, had come out of now where and stood next to me, what seemed to have been without words, i knew I had to brake the seal of the parchment first. And so I did, the lights in the room became more bright, and the beauty of the decoration came out, in small details, in flowers, in the carpet, in the white and pink marble fireplace, in the sofa, with gold and blue, with the person next to me all golden.

With a gentle crack the seal broke, i rolled open the parchment, and i was treated to the most beautiful writing in a bright blue ink, it was like the letters lit up as my eyes where going over them.

I read the following:

As for colours are true
as Blue is always blue,
as red is red
as pink is pink
as any colour is always the same colour
so should you be
with a choice
you know your colour
your being
your You
now for you the quest starts
to find the colour
that we know you are
as blue is blue
as pink is pink
as red is what you feel

i read the text a couple of times i didn’t understand what it meant, It was all unclear.

the man next to me urged to sit down, and at that very moment, two more people entered this room, one of these was a young man, no older then 21 and wearing a white suit, with golden details in it, which played with the oil and candle light of the room. he seemed to give a little bow with is head to me, though I’m sure it was to the men flanking my right side. The second person caught more of my attention, it was an woman, of about 40 years of age, with bright brown eyes, and dressed in silver and gold dress with amazing gems all over, though her eyes are what caught my attention, they were grey and appeared to look straight through me, to finally greet mine with a smile, and a gentle hello.

I was lost in this all, as suddenly more people entered, what appeared to be servants i think. as they started unpacking the red box, anxiously i watched the unveiling of its contents, it started with a pair of shoes, of which I coul not tell the colour, as they appeared to change all the time, at one time they were black, then red, then purple and then pink, taking me through the entire colour spectrum, as the other parts of this Louis XIV costume revealed itself, i could still not see or feel colour, as it was all colours and none, though the play of light on the pearls and gems made it an amazing sighting to look at.

The lady with grey eyes, spoke, a gentle voice, though going straight to the core of my attention, said, please get up and undress, as you need to bath, feeling rather uncomfortable, to bath in front of all the people I asked “ is it custom for people to watch people bath?” where i got replied, “we will help you bath as you need to preserve your energy for the long journey.” I turned around, i was getting annoyed not having any control, and not knowing what was happening, (though feeling it was all ok). “could you elaborate on what the purpose of all of this is, as I have no idea, and i want some answers” … i shouldn’t have said that was my second thought, as magically i was in the bath suddenly, without any clothes, this bath was not your average home bath, it looked more like a pool, with tons of foam, and me being sprayed by golden fountains in the shape of little angels, which to my accord seem to be alive. I decide to undergo the bath like a roman emperor, as an old friend once told me, If rape in inevitable, layback and try to enjoy…

the blessing of the soft satin water with rainbow foam and a cleansing of every inch, made me wonder if it was not cleaning more then just the outside, and as it goes, by this thought i Was suddenly in an other place wrapped in the softest towels i ever felt, and surrounded by heat in the nicest way, drying all up, to finally be back in the room it all started, but something changed, the big chandler at the ceiling was lit now with a thousand candles, and the dancing of all these flames had a hypnotising effect on me, dreaming away to nothing, as I was fitted with the coloured suite that did know what colour to be.

the lady with the grey eyes, and the men in gold, was back, and the young men to, holding a box set with all safire blue stones, “for you, sir” I opened the box, and found this mask, it looked like a venetian mask, with the same colour play as mu suit, though, there was no opening for the eyes, 3but i will not see a thing…” I dared to state, “ My dear, are you trying to imply that you see now?”. As now I had already understood it had no sense to discuss, or express my disbelieve, i nodded. the Mask was placed on my face, and i was told to keep my eyes closed, they placed something else on my head, no idea what.

The Lady told me to open my eyes, and to my surprise i saw light, without light, I saw colours, and shadows of people in colours, and no black, no grey, just colours.

Someone took my hand, and the lady’s voice, talked, Now you are my chaperone, or I’m your technically, we will go for a walk, and see where it brings us.

As we will walk, and experience tonight, we will meet things, we will people, we will meet you. all a journey to discover a bit more about you” she said. “ now watch your step, as there is some stairs to go down” she said “ remember that I can see where I walk”, i laughed nervously,” though I can not see people, except you.” i added quickly. She turned towards me with the most gentle smile, and squeezed my hand, saying without words to trust her. So I did and we continued, through, hallways some of Gold, some in bricks, some in wood, some poor some rich, and in the meanwhile i listed to the godly voice of her singing. What is all this about. We reached a great big closed door, she stopped singing. “ are you ready?” she asked. I nodded and shook my head at the same time.

The music of the room entered my ears, though my eyes, in my stomach, into my legs, to my feet, and these started moving. Hands collided, bodies got closer, and the walsh started, and entering the room in this way, i dreamed away of this experience a perfect wals, i did not know i had it in me, and right then i noticed the colours of people, some bright some fading, some barely visible, and one like a blue sun. I stopped. “ Why do you stop?” the lady asked “ there that blue, I want to see what it is, tell me what is it?” i asked, while i saw it coming closer, i could feels it go around me. “in due time” she replied, “ first you will join me…
