Dream of: 09 July 1990 "Nibelungen"

I was visiting a large cathedral or church with a group of people, and we were walking down a long walkway out of the church. Suddenly I jumped into the air and began floating away from the others toward the entrance of the church, through which I could see the white light of outside. I thought it must be truly impressive to the others to see me floating like this, and I felt quite exhilarated as I moved toward the light of the door.

Passing through the door I didn't stop my flight, but began rising along the side of part of the church. The part I was scaling resembled a large maroon balloon, the sides of which seemed to be covered with shingles. As I rose I realized I was moving toward a part of the building where no one was permitted to enter. And I also realized the reason no one was permitted there was because someone or something wicked lived there. I thought it might even be part of a gambling casino. As I neared the summit, I began to lose my power, and began to doubt I would make it to the top, but I exerted myself until I was able to reach the summit, from which I would be able to see out over the entire complex of the church.

And as I approached the zenith, I began hearing music which reminded me of music from the composer Richard Wagner's opera Das Ring der Niblungen. The music was quite impressive. I listened eagerly to the words, the last of which were, "Die Burg der Nibelungen."
