(Saturday morning, June 15, 2013) This dream takes place in a building that feels like my old high school, which was a block away from the house where I grew up. It is a one-story structure built into a gentle slope, with different levels that are accessed by ramps instead of stairs.
I have been chosen to become the consort of the king. I’m not sure what I think about this; I don’t know the king. Perhaps he is old and in decline, but I have an intuition that he is handsome and vital. So I am cautiously open to the idea and consider it an honor, albeit a strange and unexpected one.
His most trusted staff are escorting me through double doors, the entrance to a secret wing of the building. The king’s main adviser holds me by the elbow and ushers me into a small, windowless room, like a consulting chamber. There is no bed and I don’t remember what kind of furnishings are in the room. Maybe a table and chair. I feel excitement and a sexual charge, but the dream ends here, before I meet the king.
Day notes:
In the dream I confuse the word “consort” and “concubine.” When I wake, I look up “consort” in the dictionary, and find that it means partner, co-ruler. “Consort” is the word used in the dream by the king’s staff, but I hear it as “concubine” because I’m expecting a sexual liaison.
Staff: 1. a long stick carried in the hand for support in walking; 2. a rod carried as a symbol of office or authority; 3. the horizontal lines with their spaces on which music is written—called also stave; 4. the personnel who assist a director in carrying out an assigned task; 6. (rod) penis
The room in this dream reminds me of the windowless room of the white lion dream. Lion king.
In my Friday morning tarot meditation I drew The Lovers card.
Consort: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin consort-, consors partner, sharer, from com- + sort-, sors lot, share
Nice dream! HIgh school? Some learning taking place. I like the ramps to go from one level to another-like it is easier to ascend and descend different layers of awareness. I am connecting with my supreme male part that is young and vital. It is exciting. Secret chamber could be a sexual reference. It also feels spiritual as well, especially the secret chamber not having any windows(deep self). Being a consort sounds more “equal” than concubine. If this were my dream, I would want to dream the dream forward and see what is it like meeting the king.
