ady Angela’s Golden Dreams

ome time ago Baron Von Lodge was the head of a small country near Switzerland known as Lilliland.

Lady Angela of Alpine Castle, the Baron’s fiancée, was concerned about a strange recurring dream that she had been having. She discussed it with the Baron who suggested that she discuss it with Professor Hamblin.

Lady Angela was deeply concerned because she had heard that if you have a dream where metals are involved, it was a sign that bad things were ahead.

The Professor, seeing how concerned Lady Angela was, looked for a deeper meaning for the dreams that were always about gold. To be certain that he would give Lady Angela the best advice, he consulted with a dream expert from Switzerland.

The dream expert said the contrary to the misconception, that dreaming of gold was a sign of wealth and good fortune.

When Lady Angela received the news, she was overjoyed with the correct meaning of her dreams.

The Baron asked Professor Hamblin about how seriously dreams should be taken? The Professor answered that dreams should be taken seriously, but not too seriously. Often dreams could be about happy times in one’s past.

The Baron told the Professor, and Lady Angela had mentioned, that often he dreamed that he was horseback riding in the mountains along the bridal trail.

The Professor guessed that it probably meant that the Baron liked the power and authority that came with the title of Baron. But since he dreamed that he was very gentle with the horse, it also meant that his power and authority were tempered with kindness and consideration to all the people of Lilliland.

That seemed like a nice dream said Lady Angela. She asked the Baron if he ever dreamed of her. The Baron answered that when he was horseback riding on the mountain trails, she was often with him and that was the part he liked best. Lady Angela smiled.

Professor Hamblin said that he often dreamed that he was back at Cambridge or Oxford University teaching a class. He quickly added that was because he sometimes missed his university days.
