dreams

i woke up suddenly, quite early for me, from a dream

there was a riddle, it was all -- Left or Right?

But the underlying riddle was:--

What is the ultimate goal of any quest or adventure?

the answer in the dream was HOME and therefore right

it may seem a little trite but I still like it as apart from anything else it reminds me of The Odyssey - Ithaca - or win the girl, the gold, slay Grendel et al and go home -- maybe the quest is for a better home like pioneers - in Lord of the Rings Frodo leaves as the hero but it is really Sam who left as a comic fool who changes, returns home a hero, and finds home
