Reading Blog: Tablet V-VI


You can see that in tablets IV-V there is a basing strongly on dreams. Enkidu and Gilgamesh go on a "quest". Not just any quest, but a spiritual/mental quest. His destiny, will be determined by his dreams. Dreams can mean many things, but they are also hard to separate from reality. I can relate to how Enkidu is feeling. About a year ago my brother came barging into my room while I was asleep, screaming, “Look what I bought”. Little did I know it was a puppy. Once I awoke I went to go tell him about my dream; when I went into the kitchen I could not believe my eyes: my brother washing a baby Labrador.
