I had a dream where there was this photographer who'd been in a lot of things.. various magazines including playboy (I don't know if they generally did nudes or if they did some) who had this idea.. and there was this team of young people (15-25.. I don't know their exact ages) that had to do something.. I don't know the parameters of "had to" - about once a month. anyway, because of the photographer's vision and their effort, they accomplished it.. they gathered up countless identical golden Buddha statues. They were cultural artifacts and there were difficulties in gathering them for that reason.. and there must have been at least hundreds of thoughs of them.
details of the Buddha...
the statues were all identical, made of gold, and stood 12-15 feet tall, each. They were the thinner curly haired Buddha with the hair in a top not sort of thing. Unlike most of the statues I've seen they were standing. Their right hand was held up with the thumb and index finger touching, and the 3 other fingers extended up.. it's left hand held a staff. it was fairly simple, but it was crowned with a "hollow" disk with a + shaped cross in the center, and 4 + shaped crosses up, down, left, and right. They weren't crosses in a Christian sense, but then, I don't know in what sense they were, or the symbolism that was meant by them. In any case, there is no way that such a large number of statues (which must have been no less than tens of thousands) could exist. I feel they were all made of cast gold, and I don't think that amount of cast gold is anywhere on this earth. It wore fairly traditional looking robes, but it was standing, which is kinda unusual in any of the Buddha statues I've seen. They were all about 3-5 feet apart.. I'm not sure exactly the distance, but they were very evenly spaced. They were all facing the same direction.. I think they were facing a mountain that was external to their path.. sometimes they were lined up like they were walking toward something, but other times they were turned the same something.. just all in the same direction no matter where they were on the path.
