What Dreams May Come

Naturally John looks a little disappointed, but he accepts that. There is only one bed in the room, so he makes himself as comfortable in a chair as he can manage. I feel a little guilty about that, but the bed isn't really large enough for us to share given the circumstances, and in my condition I could hardly take the chair myself.

I haven't had one of my visions for a long time now but, perhaps brought on by my having eaten a bigger meal than I've had since before I fell into Gustav's clutches many months ago, I have one tonight. I've learnt that what they show does not always come to pass. I suppose that they show me a possible future rather than an inevitable one. So when I wake, I'm not sure whether what I dreamt should influence me.

1. I see myself married to John, and happy.
2. I see myself married to John, and miserable.
3. In my vision, I evidently didn't marry John. I'm desperately poor, and my child died in infancy from some disease.
4. In my vision, I evidently didn't marry John. I've managed to make a reasonable life for myself and my child, and am quite happy.
5. In my vision, I evidently didn't marry John. Apparently I could only find one way to support myself. I'm back "on the game".
6. I see myself in a courtroom, testifying against Gustav.
7. I see myself back at Madam Scarlet's. I know that John and Teran were killed by Gustav's men and I was recaptured.
