Siddhartha's Dream of Govinda and a Woman
Siddhartha sleeps in a ferryman's hut and dreams that Govinda, now a monk, asks why he was forsaken. In the dream, Govinda transforms into a woman, and Siddhartha drinks milk from her breast, tasting all the joys of the world. The dream intoxicates him, and he wakes with a sense of longing and transformation.
