You were also afraid that the Buddha would escape in the night, that through you, unknowingly, you could release this sort of thing outward.

Now, you have always been involved with churches, and you are only now learning to relieve inner truths outward without dogma. This also has something to do, as you see, with the dream. You fear again the old bugaboo would return.
