Comments on: Two priests http://sodsbrood.com/dreams/2005/03/24/two_priests/ Searching for the question to the answer of 42.

But the first one is absent, only referred to. My impression that the quiet father, Father X, is the priest that was supposed to come to visit. And that Father Y has somehow insinuated himself into the process. He's a little too gabby, a little too oily. I suspect him of not being who he says he is. I find it interesting that religion has chosen to manifest itself in this way. We won't talk about who the father was - I don't know. Or maybe that was part of the dream I can't remember. Darn! I missed the good part of the dream! Anyway, I wonder why I would resort to such a place. Desperation, apparently. In a small town. Typical me, I must think that I can stand against any sort of evangelism thrown my way. I can produce gratitude, but not genuine faith. I don't know what my dream self would do. Maybe Father Y has come to convert me. Maybe Father Y is actually the devil. He is represented in opposite colors one normally thinks of as good and evil, light and dark. But the quiet one is unobtrusive. The loud one could talk the legs off an Arcturan Megadonkey, to quote Deep Thought from the Hitchhiker's Guide.

You're pregnant with no boyfriend/husband in the picture, you need a place to stay because everyone in your town frowns on an unwed mother. And so you wind up at a Mission where you can't afford to stay... Sounds like the Christmas story to me, and not the one about the kid who wants a BB gun.
