.1409

In a dream this morning I had to raise the alarm with [W] in a girls’ school or home, at night, perhaps for fire: I was, I think, the Warden. Young girls poured out of their dormitory into corridors in various states of undress.

As my sleep came nearer to the edge of wakefulness, the nature of the dream changed: I was walking among their bunk beds in the dormitory, chatting with the girls: for the most part, I think, answering their questions. Despite their lack of inhibition regarding dress, I was (and was conscious that I was) sexually unmoved: my function was that of a teacher.

This purpose continued into the final phase of the dream, when I was merely dozing and the narrative framework was (at least to some extent) consciously controlled by my own propensity towards sexual fantasy: I entered a hayloft and found two of the girls, dark-haired and nubile, lying naked in the hay, waiting for me.** My reaction to their sexual attentions was to sit down between them and talk with them at length in great love about the relationship of sex, love, nakedness etc.*** – retaining their complete attention throughout.

These young girls are, I would guess, like those of former dreams, souls around the Spirit; but unlike those of the past year,**** which I think were Angelic (being more purposeful), these I believe are Human.#

*(I had had [presumably, the previous evening] my first bath for over a week (we are short of water), and the sense of being washed clean had been particularly noticeable.) <890731>

**[The writer of these journals as a young boy (of about 12/13, and rather innocent) did have the good fortune to play in a hay barn more than once with an attractive dark-haired Maltese girl of about 17/18, much to the amusement of the neighbouring farmer whose permission he asked; but all clothes remained firmly in place with this nicely-brought-up Roman Catholic girl and physical contact was minimal.]
