Conclusion:
The Dream is Over
Just then the lights dimmed in the room and I found myself alone. All the
authorities of the church, past and present, were suddenly gone. The dream was
fading, and I slowly came back to a half and groggy consciousness. I lay in my
bed staring at the ceiling, unable to fully make sense of everything that just
happened on the stage of my unconscious mind. But as I restlessly struggled to
remember the many questions I had asked and the disparate answers I was given, I
couldn’t help feel conflicting emotions. On the one hand, I was disturbed –
deeply disturbed – with the feeling that I had just interviewed authorities
from two entirely separate religions – that the church today is nothing like
that of old. On the other hand, I was relieved, because, after all, it was all
just a dream... only a dream...
