I had a dream about you. You were being hung. I had a sword in one hand and a stool in the other. I couldn’t decide which one to use, so I stood on the stool and threw myself on the sword. It was the least I could do to protest capital punishment. Bauvard
About This Quote

This quote is a perfect example of a dream. Whether it came from a nightmare or just a dream, the reality of the situation is that it is still a fantasy. By those standards, the quote is obviously false. However, this quote is just as true as any dream can be.

It conveys a point that we often forget in the face of the more obvious meaning of a dream. In this case, it’s a powerful protest against capital punishment. The film Gladiator , where Russell Crowe plays Maximus and his last fight against the Roman army for revenge for his family’s death, ends with his family being brutally murdered and him being brought to the arena to be executed.
