I had an extremely vivid dream last night...
Thomas and I were in Jordan, riding Arabian horses to Petra. His horse was named Justice and mine was Valour. We rode into the valley and left the horses to guard our belongings while we explored the caverns. There had been a recent rockslide in one tomb, which revealed a narrow entrance in the rock. Thomas lit a torch and led me through. We found ourselves in a secret temple we knew had been undiscovered for thousands of years. In the center, before the altar, was a sacred spring. We knew if we drank from it, we would receive our heart's desire. We drank pure water from each other's hands. The torchlight reflected from something at the back of the cave/temple...in the middle of a nest of snakes (freudian,anyone?)we saw three objects...a silver chalice, a ceremonial dagger, and a ring. The snakes were deadly asps, and I was content just to admire the treasures. Thomas, however, reached into the snakes with no hesitation and removed the objects. He placed the dagger and the chalice on the altar, but kept the ring. He kissed me, and I woke up to the annoying sound of the phone ringing.
