I had a dream that I wanted to describe. I got dropped off to go to some kind of camp or something, though this was in what seemed to be a big city, in an older district with big buildings like churches, multi-story housing blocks, blocks of offices for assorted small businesses, and that sort of thing. Not sure how long I was supposed to be there, but presumably at least a few weeks, maybe for the whole summer, maybe for longer. There seemed to be some kind of choice of what I would actually go and do (like, several different programs to enroll in, all in buildings that were in this close grouping on this one block or within a few blocks of there), but for whatever reason, I decided to go to the biggest one, probably because it had my old German teacher as an instructor in it. Presumably, all the different programs offered there would've been uncomfortable in some way or the other, but I had to pick one.
After a little while, there a some big opening ceremony to welcome all the new attendees to this one I'd rolled the dice on, where various speeches were given. At that point, it swiftly became clear that it was some sort of spiritual recovery program for atheists. I don’t think it was strictly denominational or whatever, but still kinda weird.
My teacher said something along the lines of "In this program, you will nourish all of the things that you held deep inside, neglected for a long time."
I raised my hand and then asked, "What if all those things that we've held inside for so long have been consumed by one or more worms?"
He responded, "Well, if that's true, then at the very least, you'll be able to nourish your inner worm." Big laugh from attending crowd.
