this dream begins in a wooded area.we moved silently through the woods,eventually reaching a large stone structure which we entered by way of a secret passage. this passage was steep it was necessaery to get a grip on rungs at the side of the wall. finally we came to an entrance,a door which led into a small space like a closet,only larger. then opened into a hallway. we moved noiselessly.at one point there were 2 corridors,each branching off in two direction like the letter y. we took the right hand side. i was with someone i did not know in real life but did know in the dream. there were 4 other people,with us, none of whom i knew in waking world. then finally we reached a door which led to a stairway which led to a mezzanine-like place. He removed a curtain to reveal another secret passage, which we entered. then we came to an unusual door. on this door there was a panel with 4 rows of signs. 4 keys, an iron one, the other three were bronze,copper and tin. in order to enter one had to have the right combination. 4 fruits-pear,apple,strawberry and pineapple-and line them up correctly with the right chemical notation and the right gemstone.ruby,topaz sapphire and alexandrite. only then could someone enter. in short, they had a foolproof way to ensure no one unauthorized entered. my friend knew the right combination,so we entered.hearing sounds and voices ahead we knew that at last here was some sign of human activity. when we got in closer we realized it was place like a laboratory where several experiments were being conducted at once glass tubes and vials marked with labels and notations in code of geometric shapes and alchemical symbols. there were several levels of rooms connected to each other by secret passages and tunnels hidden behind solid masonry and brick walls.the one by which had entered was only one of them.they could be opened only by entering the right code combination on panels cleverly hidden behind innocuous seeming objects such as a closet door or a lamp,just as we had done.
