: : i forgot the most important part of this dream. the funeral home director was talking about men (as in males) and he kept saying talking about sex and death. he kept saying that they are both important but that most men think of them way out of proportion. he said that we needed more balance and we needed to prepare more for death, which he said, was like our 'big day'. also i think he kept trying to hint at some connection between sex and death. and he kept talking about God all the time. like it was really important stuff.... i wish i could quote him word for word, but i forgot some of it. what i do remember was really colorful. even though nothing he said was really bad--i guess since in his office we were all just sort of a bunch of guys hanging out there was a casualness to his speech that might not fit the church board, especially when he talked about sex, which was pretty good.

Wow! That is really neat! I could rattle on about ecstatic states, etc, but I haven't married yet (so I've never made love) and I haven't died so I can't discuss either of these too much. How can I compare them to anything? So, I won't attempt to. But I liked your observation. Pretty cool.
