dream 5

I was to accomplish a task for the great grandfatherly wizard named Gandalf. I stole a special sword or something... but I did not succeed and I finally approached Gandalf with bowed head, full of shame saying 'I have failed you' and I knelt and heald the sword out to him. My failure overwhlemed me. But instead of his usual harsh voice he answered softly, 'if you had failed you would not be here offering me your failure' and he pointed to the sword 'look, it has turned to pure copper has it not...' I looked at it and realized that it was true and set about chopping the log that couldn't be chopped... ??
