Gilgamesh Tablets IV and V
In this section, I made a connection with dreams. For some people, dreams have no further meaning, but for me they explain the things that your everyday mind cannot. Gilgamesh has several dreams through his journey, and each time he had them, he told them to Endiku, his companion. Every time Endiku heard the dream, he interpreted its meaning.
Sometimes, when I was younger, I wrote down my dreams. The next morning my mother and I would look at them together and analyze them.
We had a book that was a dictionary of dreams. In Gilgamesh, one dream was about a mountain falling on top of the two men:
"We were going though mountain gorge, and the huge mountain fell down on the two of us".
Endiku interpreted the dream so that the mountain was Huwawa ("Huwawa will fall down like a mountain and die"), the evil demon, dying and falling to their feet. In my book, we would have looked up, mountain falling, and it would have had a meaning.
Dreams can be interpreted in so many ways, though they always explain what you feel and help you find your inner self.
