the desert
I was thinking about the desert in terms of a journey, the theme of which had occurred previously in another dream. I think the real me is tied to this journey. I also looked up a reference that kept coming to mind regarding the role of the desert in the bible.
I am reminded of a promise I made and I think I need to pick up a bible. I've never studied it, although somehow I know all of the bible stories. I didn't learn them from my family.
Here's the link to that other dream Not quite dead, now I am seeing parallels to the valley of dead.
Thank you for chatting with me about this, it really helps to brainstorm with others to get a better perspective.

I found that quote hereHistorically, deserts have served to distinguish the essential from the superfluous. Therefore, a desert experience has been an excellent lens with which to focus on what really matters and to learn what may be impossible to learn in more stable environments. The desert experience of the ancient Hebrews, as they journeyed from Egypt, land of slavery, to Canaan, land of promise, embodied a number of timeless spiritual truths in the context of an environmental framework where priorities became crystal clear.
