Kind of OT: My very strange, slightly Brokeback related dream....

<< < (2/3) > >>

Front-Ranger:
Your dream reminded me of the climax in the book "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Ecco. Did anyone else have that reaction?

Becky:
I have never heard of that before. What is is about and what happens?
Please teacher tell me! ;D

Front-Ranger:
It's a novel that was written by an Italian author and was translated into English about 12 years ago. It's set in a monastery in about the 1200s and the main character is an investigator who has come in to investigate the murder of a monk. Then he discovers a secret text that talks about Jesus and Mary Magdelene...well I don't want to include any spoilers in case someone might like to read it. The author is extremely well read and includes a lot of plays on/references to other great works of literature.  ;)

Becky:
I am probably being really dense but why did my dream make you think of that book? ???

Front-Ranger:
In the climax, the investigator has a dream that solves the murder mystery and in it all the gospel characters are present and doing all sorts of odd things like in your dream. Your dream is the stuff of great literature, Becky!!
