First of all the landscape and the surroundings were, indeed, symbolic but they represented to you several things. They represented culture and civilization, both as it has existed in the past, and as you see it in the future. The people within the environment appeared happy because they did not think and everything was done for them and life was, indeed, like an institution and they could not leave.

You felt, you see, that on entering this institution or this culture or civilization, that something had been taken from you symbolized by you as the fluid that was taken from the brain. The fluid represented several things, it represented seminal fluid in terms of creativity and energy. It also represented the water or fountainhead of spiritual creativity so that both ages merged and you felt that this had been drawn out from you in order to keep you contented within this artificial framework. Now you are considering, to some extent, leaving the framework while pretending still to be inside it.

Therefore, your dilemma. Now you exaggerated the dilemma to some extent, but the whole symbolism represented your fears. The situation is not that bad and there is hope yet. It is the feeling that the fugitive will always be hunted down and that there is safety in numbers and that if you leave the numbers, or the institution, you will be hunted down.

It means that symbolized so that you can see the situation as you see it. You are deliberating that this represents one stage of your feelings. Now you should have a series of dreams representing other aspects of the entire situation. You will have a dream, for example, that emphasizes what you will find if you leave this institutionalized framework. You have only taken one aspect and dramatized it for yourself. You will take other aspects and dramatize those also.

Now the past images also represented not only the past in the historical context of civilization, but the past as it applies to your own personal subconscious. The past of memories in this life. The feeling also in your early past you had thought of escaping, looked in that direction and found structures. Now the structures were also symbolic in another way. The structures also represented neat pyramids of thought that were bright, shiny, smooth and prefabricated in a way.

Now conventional religion requires tribute and so the men came to you at the door. Now you saw them hooded and with red hoods, this meant several things to you on a subconscious basis. First of all, robbers come hooded and they do not come to front doors but to side doors and to doors not usually used. They came, therefore, as hooded strangers and they were requiring tribute and you did not know whether or not the cause was legitimate or if you should contribute to it. The conventional religions were symbolized as St. Paul to you.

Now in the back of your mind, and you may yell at me later, conventional religion is symbolized by the Catholic religion because of its fantastic organization. And in your mind the Pope represents that organization and he paid tribute. He gave to these hooded robbers that came in at the side door. He did not give much, but he gave, and he gave because any religion must pay tribute to the inner knowledge of the self and the true inner knowledge does not come in through the front door. It comes in through the side door when you are least looking for it.

You ended up giving two quarters. Now two quarters, in terms of money, is a small amount, two bits, and yet two quarters also symbolize one half and this is the main meaning of your dream for you are half convinced and half not convinced and you gave in case they were right. It is a good point of housewifery prudence and spiritual prudence as well, but you would not have given had not this authority figure of the Pope done so ahead of you which means that presently you are looking for direction and hoping to find it and also that you are not going to give to any red-hooded beggars who knock at your side door. It also shows that you are deeply considering matters and that you are more open.
