wool carpeting. It  covers the whole ground from the walls
of the house out  into the  surrounding  roadway and even
the  gutters  of  the  road.  It  has  a  hooked-in  repeating
pattern of  a black donkey with  the Virgin Mary riding it.
Then someone in the house turns on a light and the scene
is  lit with  a soft violet hue  like that  of a  stage spotlight.
Then it goes out and everything is black again. I can hear
some  person  in  the  house  moving  around,  and  things
clinking,  but  no  one  comes  out.  It  gives  me  an  eerie
feeling  not  to  see  who  it  is.  The  colors  of  black  and
violet  are  vaguely  disturbing.  Finally  I  realize  it is not
safe outside the house and that if  I  remain  I will have to
stand with my back to the wall and face whatever clunked
in  the  darkness.  I  decide  to go  inside instead.  Inside I
flick on a light and find that I am on a lower floor and that
the person  I  can hear is upstairs still clinking things as if
in  preparation  for  something.   The  feeling   is  that  the
unseen  person  is fixing things for some kind  of welcome
feast but that this  person does not want to be revealed to
me yet.  Downstairs  is  a  huge dining room  with  a  huge
table  and next  to  it an  equally huge kitchen.  There was
absolutely  no living room  or sitting area of any type. The
idea  comes  to me  that in  this  way  the  occupant  of the
dwelling  can signify  that it  is  wished  to  offer maximum
hospitality  and  that  the social  living could  be worked in
around it.  For instance,  I  reason, you could play  a game
like chess  in a corner of  the huge dining room.  The main
emphasis   in  that  house  is  always  to   be  on  maximum
hospitality  by  an  unseen  host.  ( M. M.,     Alexandria,

     (Dream 1) I  get  out  of  a  car and  approach  a dance
floor. The dance floor is well lighted while everything else
is dark.  There are no walls or roof.  The floor  is of highly
polished wood, and square.  A very tall woman, dressed in
a bright red,  robe-like dress with Aztec decorations at the
neck, follows me and  I  wait for her to join me.  When she
draws near,  we dance on the floor, close but not touching.
We do  a  strange dance,  with a lot  of knee  bending  and
