You see the movement, the russet coat, perhaps the turn of its head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen it slips into cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou cannot make it return simply because you wanted another look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDreams can behave much the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt waking, something may still be close enough to catch. Wait too long and only fragments remain. Reach too quickly for an interpretation and sometimes the dream itself becomes obscured beneath everything we think it ought to mean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practice at the centre of this rite is therefore simple:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotice first.

Rhonabwy sleeps and experiences an elaborate vision involving Arthur and his companions, but the tale does not hand the reader a convenient key explaining exactly what every part of the dream signifies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelsh folklore also preserves accounts in which dreams were remembered as warnings, encounters, premonitions or experiences connected with death and the unseen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not need to decide that every such account proves supernatural communication in order to take the tradition seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat matters for this rite is the habit of \u003cstrong\u003eattention\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dream happened.
