badstarDream, last night as I was drifting off...
walking up to the same temple again, this time wearing the same pale yellow robe that I was given to wear at the end of the last dream, as well as the gold bracelet from a few dreams earlier.. The grapevine cuts on my wrists and ankles were scabbed and still sore. I walked up the steps, the temple doors were closed. They swung silently open in front of me (opening outwards this time instead of inwards in previous dreams) and I walked in.
This time, there were no basins of water for hand washing. I walked to the far end of the temple and stood there, contemplating the altar- which instead of being laden with wine, statuary, fruit, incense and other offerings, was empty. I had brought no offerings this time either.
The woman who had greeted me in a few of the previous dreams came out this time. She said something to me, I don't remember what anymore. Then she removed the gold bracelet from her wrist and slid it onto mine, on the same wrist as I was already wearing my own bracelet. Then she was gone.
I was left there contemplating the fact that I'd brought no offerings, and then I was kneeling instead of standing. Then there was a cut like when a part was edited from a movie and the robe was gone, and I was laying on the table...being cut again. Though instead of just the surface of my skin being cut, the cuts were much deeper this time, all over my body. I was not restrained as I was last time, and again, I couldn't see who was doing the cutting.
It may have ended there with cutting in progress, or it may have continued, I don't remember.
