There is a difference between a vision and a dream, but there exists another form of experience that is accessible in the short moment between the waking and dreaming life.
I was transported to, what appeared to be a large residence camp which was situated in a field at the base of a mountain. Here, hundreds of people were living in tents and larger tent like structures, constructed of plastic tarps, poles, and such. There was one general food and water distribution center of which the people were waiting in line for daily rations. There was an all encompassing gloominess amongst the crowd. These people were generally unhappy with their situations and lives. Perched on the rocky cliffs of the overlooking mountain was an enormous cathedral. I assumed the structure was made of marble as its stark white reflection was blinding. This was an odd phenomenon, as the sky was black and overcast with clouds. The light form the giant cathedral appeared to be somehow generated from within the structure itself. It was then that I realized the church was literally draining the life-force from the people below. Set up with the intent to help and provide light, this structure was using the idea of such light and hope as a ruse. By tricking the people living in the field, the church was draining the exact life-force that it promised to restore...
I have not yet meditated on the symbolism of this experience for fear that it is clear... and not shrouded in mystery...
