I had a bit of a deja vu with the dream sequence.

It regards the old French existentialist film Orphee (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041719/), a modern version of the Orpheus myth, in which Orphee, after a traffic accident is carried off by a beautiful and mysterious woman, who then resurrects him, followed by this bit of dialogue:

her: Do you know who I am?
him: I know.
her: Who am I?
him: My death.

This might be coincidence, but with JMS, that is not a concept that often occurs. See also this picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Casares) of the actress (although in the film, she wears a more severe hairstyle and makeup).

hmmm... just a thought...
