bookofdanielvol2A very strange dream last night.
I was in a church, which I assumed (in the dream) to be the one I used to go to when I was very young (Methodist church in Coxsackie). For some reason there was a pro wrestling show going inside there. I don't recall the specifics of it, but it involved a cage match of some sort. After the show I was walking around the main area of the church with my parents, who were just suddenly there. We were looking at the organ, which seemed to be cobbled together from parts of other organs. At this point I mentioned the origin of the phrase “pulling out all the stops.” As we were going to leave there were smaller organs in the corners of the room, and two more by the entrance. I also recall at some point looking through large, clear windows near the tops of the walls.
For some reason we went outside and then came back in, and I went to some small, bare stone-walled rooms that I think were in the basement (I'm not sure if my parents were still with me at this point). Then I had to go to the bathroom and made my way to one in the main part of the church; it was an enormous, fancy room at least as big as the main sanctuary, with marble and wood trim. At that point I woke up.
Even though this probably doesn't mean anything at all, I can identify where at least some parts of this came from:
-I'm not sure where the idea of being in the church I went to as a kid came from; probably just a repressed memory.
-The wrestling show, and particularly the idea of a cage match, probably comes from watching the annual Elimination Chamber show earlier this week. Also, the last live event I went to - an independent show, just before COVID - was just a little more than a year ago.
-Both of my parents being there was a bit strange, though my dad - who passed in 2017 - does show up pretty regularly.
-The clear windows at the tops of the walls might be from the Terrapin restaurant in Rhinebeck, which I drive past pretty often (and sometimes patronize). It's in a former church building and some of the windows that presumably used to be stained glass are now clear.
-The bare stone-walled rooms may possibly be from playing Castle of the Winds recently.
-The design of the giant, ornate restroom is a mystery, but the concept is just because I woke up really having to go to the bathroom.
