naw,
OP's dreams were probably from the gates of ivory,most likely
en.wikipedia.org...
Two gates the silent house of Sleep adorn;
Of polish'd ivory this, that of transparent horn:
True visions thro' transparent horn arise;
Thro' polish'd ivory pass deluding lies.
Of various things discoursing as he pass'd,
Anchises hither bends his steps at last.
Then, thro' the gate of iv'ry, he dismiss'd
His valiant offspring and divining guest.
-Virgil
The Aeneid
lines 893-898 of Book 6 ,
amusingly, wiki defines it as "The gates of horn and ivory are a
literary image used to distinguish true dreams (corresponding
to factual occurrences) from false. The phrase originated in the Greek language, in which the word for "horn" is similar to that for "fulfil" and
the word for "ivory" is similar to that for "deceive". On the basis of that play on words, true dreams are spoken of as coming through the gates
of horn, false dreams as coming through those of ivory."
this when research by the likes of Stephen Laberge, Robert Bruce and others shows that it's not, that these gates do exist, though certainly not
LITERALY

, but then again the agents of the Nihilist Neuro-Scientific View[guguru-it] in service to the Positivist-Materialist Paradigm [plateauing]
are ever ready to see that anything related to dream work, Orgone, Psychonautics and Imagineering, and a variety of of Empowering Subjects between
Heaven and Earth are repressed by their bumbling editing work, if only they could do the same with the entire internet, and the libraries, museums,
and archeological sites as well, they mutter, just as fanatical as their equivalents The Subjects, or Servants [ha! and only in word] of the Religious
Paradigm[descending]
the irony, wanting and seeking the power of reshaping the world in their own [dead and sterile

L! Heaven Forfend.
but that power is the exclusive purview of the Magical Paradigm[ascending]!



the OP's having a false vision doesn't invalidate Vision.
look around you, the computer you're posting from, the castle you live in[compared to most in humanities past, and some present], the wrought metal
chariots in the streets, the man-made metal leviathans of sea and sky, the windswept towers striving for the Heavens were all naught but an idle dream
once, in somebody's mind.
and dreams are not just dreams
