THE YOUNG COUPLE (May 26, 2011)

I dreamt that I was watching a young prince and princess in their royal bed. Several candles illuminated the bedroom. Both of them blond, they seemed ill at ease. Covered up to their chests with sheets made of pale blue silk, they lied on their backs and they held hands. Their eyes wide open, they stared toward the richly decorated ceiling. They were just married and this was the first time that they were together alone, let alone naked in bed. Expected by everyone to produce royal offspring as soon as possible, they were all ears. Servants shuffled their feet in the corridor and the adjoining rooms connected to their bedroom by huge doors. Neither of them had any idea what to do next. The scene returned to me several times during the night, but it was always the same. Nothing ever changed. The prince and princess kept holding hands and staring toward the ceiling. Invisible to them, I felt a lot of sympathy for the young couple.
