The Feast

 I had this recurring dream last night, only this time a new part was added. In the dream, I am walking through the woods with a companion, usually either my girlfriend or my brother. We come upon a wall in the woods which is white and appears to be of solid cement, but at some point we find that a secret section of the wall opens up. This opens into a house. The house has obviously been occupied, or is currently occupied but no one is home. It is decorated rather lavishly with all kinds of interesting things, books and knick knacks and stained glass lamps and so on.

In previous versions of the dream, we just hang out there for a while and then leave. But in the new version last night we find that there is another wall within this house that also opens. This one opens into a grand mansion. The main floor is crowded with people and they are attending a feast at a long wooden table. We spot someone who knows us and we think Oh damn we're going to be busted for trespassing. 

Instead, the man at the head of the table stands up, arms out stretched, and says welcome, come, eat and drink!

As we make our way to the table, we are greeted by multiple guests who throw their arms around us and embrace us. But it is more than just a common embrace. It is like being enveloped in pure love. 

And this is where the new version of the dream ends, just as we are making our way to the table.

There are small details that I have forgotten, and they are most likely pertinent details. Maybe I will remember them next time.
