During these tablets of Gilgamesh, the moral support of the 2 main characters and the interpretation of the dreams they have, form a crucial part to the main theme on this section. These dreams which seemed horrid at plain sight, where transformed into an interpretation of good fortune and a heroic future. They where a glimpse of what was soon to come. Perhaps one might take from this shift, the idea that nothing is really what it is. If something makes you sad or mad thing beyond it and look at the pleasure of misery. Not only view negative situations as an opportunity for a good outcome, but search for that opportunity and make it happen. Opportunities are chances that are unique and dreams can be interpreted as wishes from the heart, it is that subconscious impulse to send a message to a fully rested body.
According to dictionary.com, dreams are the following; . "1.A state of abstraction; a trance. 2. A wild fancy or hope. 3. A series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep." Makes you think; Are these the same as the definition of a dream on the Epic of Gilgamesh? Is there a "beyond connection" among Enkidu and Gilgamesh beyond their brotherly love? If the prophecy of all Gods seem to be true, why was this one the exception?
"They say dreams are the windows of the soul--take a peek and you can see the inner workings, the nuts and bolts." Henry Bromel
