Dream of a Buddhist Monk

Post by Wayfarer »

Last night I was having a dream, details of which I can't recall exactly, except that we were in a car or some other form of transport going somewhere in through a crowded street-scape. Suddenly this Buddhist monk appeared from the crowd, wearing a traditional Theravadin robe which was of a radiant hue - he was very vivid and stood out from the crowd. I noticed that this monk was slim, tall, a Westerner, and had gray slightly curly hair, and had a familiar face. I made some remark to whomever I was with along the lines of 'look at that, what he is he doing here?' Later this morning when I got up, I realised that the face was very similar to that of Reggie Ray. Of course this is just something my mind would have put together, as I have perused the Dharma Ocean site in the past, but I just thought I would mention it here. The aspect of the dream which really stays with me was the vividness of the colour.
