The Dreams

Dream 160

I discovered by chance that I had the power to see behind closed doors.

Both astonished and delighted, I went to the reception hall and found the Brotherhood gathered around a gaming table. The young woman who served the drinks invited me to take a vacant seat. Feeling confident, I obliged her.

Looking at the back of the cards, I could see which ones they were, and pulled in great winnings. But then I heard a voice telling me, He Who granted this power is able to withdraw it if it is used to do evil.

So I withdrew from the game and made for the buffet, and at the night’s end, the young lady came to inform me that the winner at the table had been found murdered and robbed. I was astounded, and the woman told me that she hated this profession.

I offered her my hand. She gave me hers, and we walked out together without resisting.
