I would like to thank you again for your insightfulness on the dream.
Some dreams are more striking to me than others, that happening to be one of them. I find dreams to be very interesting and often try to figure out what mine are refering to. I've had repeated themes in dreams (though it's been awhile). It was snakes for a while and then I was 'stuck' on ledges (a building ledge, cruise ship loading dock ledge, ledge of a mountain). However, I have a deep fear of heights and ledges. Makes my stomach turn just thinking about it. Even years later, I can not figure out what provoked those dreams. I cant really figure it out now, because so much has changed in my life since then.

On the subject of Buddhism, do you have any recommendations of books to read for beginners. This conversation has encouraged me to take the steps to learn about the philopophy. I am even more interested in it now than before.
Also, my Mom said she somehow ran across you on Facebook, she enjoys your postings quite a bit.

Tish,
Instead of buying a book I recommend the internet to learn about Buddhism. There is so much info available on the www you will never run short of things to read. Here is a good site from PBS to begin Basics of Buddhism

To really get into Buddhism go to this site An Introduction to Buddhism. this site goes into detail about the philosophy.
