09. Le rêve de Pantagruel
Through the latter, it communicates directly with the body and renews its senses, reconstructs impressions and emotions in the soul. In this dream, the flavours, colours, moods of a laid table reappear; the festive decorations, the joyous order of the preparation, the rite of “being together” accompanied by food and wine…
The soul surely goes beyond the body, and what is food for the body now, is a flower in the dream; the table is hanging in the air, the cloth is flying away like a cloud and the whole scene turns into a room, which, once you go in through the door, immediately becomes a landscape, a magical place, dreamt of and wished for.
