Mid 1980's
On Another World
In this dream I was being held captive on another planet. The people of
this planet were in bondage to false ideas about God.
Early in the morning I was taken to a private meeting with the leader of
this planet. We were alone in a large, clean unfurnished room. A single
guard stood outside the open door.
By some means I had been paralyzed so that I could neither pray nor speak
nor think straight. I was standing in the middle of the room in this strange,
paralyzed state. I had no consciousness of the passage of time.
In the dream, Dr. Spock (of Star Trek fame) came to the door of the room
and requested permission to enter. It is possible that I was captain of
the Enterprise, though I do not know this for certain. I do know that I
was from earth, as the following dialogue will attest.
After obtaining permission, Spock entered the room carrying a bucket of
what appeared tro be a powdered cleanser. He stumbled and pretended to
spill the cleanser on me accidentally. Immediately, I found myself released
from my paralysis and I started to pray, standing by a wash basin with my
eyes closed. (It was one of those chrome sink basins that you find in painting
studios at college.)
Upon seeing my fervent attempt to pray the leader of the planet was in stitches
with laughter. He asked what I was doing.
I said I was praying to God.
"This is hysterical!" he said. "We would never pray to God
like that," and he wanted to know how I got the notion that I could
talk to God.
"God came to our planet once," I said.
"God came to your planet? What was God like?" The leader was
suddenly interested in hearing this new thing. "What was God like?"
"He came to our planet as a human."
"A human? A weak, pitiful thing like that? A human! God came to your
planet as a human?"
"He took the form of a human, a man, actually, and lived on our world,
on earth."
"And what happened?"
"We killed him," I said.
I wake.
