"Grapes of Wrath -- Dream"


 
Hi John and Doves,

I could really use some help solving this puzzle. This may be for me personally or maybe not.  I'm not sure. But I do know it was a message for me to take seriously.

This dream had no visuals really,  I was like in a void, but I could hear every word  and it wasn't fractured like my dreams normally are, it was all logical and made sense.

Someone was speaking to me, and I was answering. I don't know who it was as I could not see the person and they didn't tell me who they were  This male voice asked me the question did I know what itinerary meant?  I said it was  a list of travels.  He said  he wanted me to remember that word.  Then he bought to memory a teacher I had when I was 15 years old.  I was only there at this school for a few months but I learned more there than all of the years in normal public school.  It was in a small little school in the Santa Cruz mountains ... He asked if I remember this teacher. I said yes, he was  a great teacher.  Yes, he was the voice replied . Then he showed me a visual of this classroom and asked me what stood out about this teacher.  I said he read us John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath.  The voice reminded me to remember the word "itinerary" that it was important for me to remember.

Now I haven't thought about that book in 35 years and couldn't remember much about it except the ending and that it was set around the Great Depression/Dust Bowl, so I had to look it up.  http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/grapesofwrath/summary.html
I was pretty shocked when I read the book summary,  Does the character name Rose of Sharon ring a bell to anyone?

The Lord knows I love to solve things, but I'm not sure I'm seeing the clear picture here.  I also hope this isn't a message of things to come.  Maybe someone out has had a dream or vision like this one or has a deeper understanding of the book. In the meantime I guess I better go download and read it myself.
