  • Robe gray, no light — Moral clarity dulled in felt sense.
  • Empty chair where prophet sat — Guidance seat vacant in inner life.

  • Dawn after night silence — Hope arc—guidance may return through practice.

Cultural and classical interpretation

Do not claim infallibility, curse, or rank over others from any dream. Behavioral correction with mercy fits classical spirit.
