Perestroika Act V & The Dream of the Rood

I noticed a comparison between Prior and the dreamer. They both have visions that feel them each with hope and desire. Prior's vision of heaven finally feels him with hope and helps him to realize that he is not ready to die. He desires life and wishes to continue his life on earth because he is not ready to go yet. While Prior desires life on earth, the dreamer desires eternal life. The dreamer's vision of Jesus and the cross feels him with hope and desire to one day be able to see the cross again.
