Julius Caesar Assignment 2 - I Dream Of Caesar


14 March 44 BC
Dearest Diary,

Oh today, I experienced such a horrid dream, I shall never forget. I dreamt, I was a thousand miles away from home, in an unknown forest. I vividly remember Julius by my side, as we walked. We wore black cloaks, covering our heads. The trees, the ground, even the birds that flew around, usually in beautiful, bright colours, had feathers, the colour of the dark night. I had no idea what we were walking to, but we had somewhere to go. I had recognized this place, and I remember having this dream several times before, but I for some reason remember this one in great detail. As I recall, Julius & I were walking throughout the cold, dark forest and I saw flashes of Julius' life. Faint images of his close companions, the Romans whom he loved. All the the things that made great deal in his life. I remember, hearing his voice say, "I am the almighty, all hail Caesar!" This line stuck to me, the words on replay in my head. For this, I feared. I woke up, heart beating, my head was spinning, my eyes tearing up. I looked over, to see Caesar fast asleep beside me. I had no idea what this dream had meant, but I know it has to mean something. I fear for the worst, but hope for the best.
