"And who is this 'prince'?" I asked, vaguely imagining some sort of tsar or patriarch.
"Oh, no, nothing like that," said the rib-eye steak woman. "This is all for the prime minister of Sweden!"

Bread for the prince
I dreamed that I got completely lost trying to find the church my family used to attend in Perry, Ohio, and I ended up in a very small Ohio town that only had one church -- which, weirdly, was Russian Orthodox, although the people there seemed very American. I went inside to ask for directions, and everyone was talking about some program for people to donate bread to give to "the prince." One woman was proudly saying, "Well the program is about donating bread, but in my opinion a more appropriate donation would be rib-eye steak!" She wasn't herself donating a rib-eye steak, but it was obvious that she thought very highly of herself just for having the thought that one could donate something even "higher quality" than what the church was asking for.

William,
Interesting you should dream about O H I O, with its 3 Eyes and an H.
From Etymology online:
O
fifteenth letter of the alphabet, from a character that in Phoenician was called
......'ain (literally "eye").......... and represented "a very peculiar and to us unpronounceable guttural" [Century Dictionary].
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found this meaning to the word Oh interesting as well ( OH being not only the abbreviation of the State of Ohio but includes the letter H .
Interestingly H having an 8 connection in the alphabet.
oh (interj.)
interjection expressing various emotions (fear, surprise, pain, invocation, gladness, admiration, etc.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I also was doing a bit of research (actually having nothing to do with this particular post) but as I was going down the research rabbit hole, I did find a couple of interesting blogs, especially the alchemy blog connecting my perspective about ships and steering wheels, and my recent comment to your previous post: "In the pantheon of evils, among the worst is Holocaust denial."
In your Pantheon of evils post, I commented about what I believe is the objective and the end game of our Opponents which is : to mold a perfect rudderless vehicle
for our Opponents to control via Artificial Intelligence.
I made reference to Opponents strategy of : ' It is what WE SAY it is', or as Dubya
famously said after Sept 11. If you're not with us, you're against us.
It doesn't matter if something doesn't make sense or that we can plainly see or critically think that........ what we are being shown and/ or told, is just not logically possible.
IT doesn't Make Sense!
Nine 11 and the Warren Report comes to mind.
Anywho, I found this interesting article about the esoteric and the Walrus, and especially the Beatles connection to Lewis Carroll.
In the artic an interesting passage with references to Caroll's poem: The Walrus and the Carpenter (do note my recent comments about hammers (Carpenter tools) and pickaxe's that was in the news a few weeks ago. )
In Carroll's work , Humpty Dumpty expressed my exact perspective as far as this: we are not allowed to use critical thinking or use our Soul's intuition/gut feeling.
We are to believe that whatever the master/expert says is the 'truth'.
It is what they (in this case Humpty ) says it is.
copy and paste from the article (1'st link below)
“I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory,’ ” Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. “Of course you don’t—till I tell you.
I meant ‘there’s a nice knock down argument for you!’ ”
“But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument’,” Alice objected.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”

Another very intriguing blog I found today also mirrors what I've come to believe (after MUCH RESEARCH and connecting my gazillion lifetime puzzle pieces).
I thought you may find interesting this blog as well. (see 2nd link below)
It's a very thought-provoking blog about alchemy especially excellent references to Basil Valentine's Azoth illustrations, which I didn't know this information until tonight.
What's interesting as it mirrors my theory about the significance and symbolism of Maritime Law, Navigation / ships (as "vehicles" perhaps both space and ocean?) and especially the 8-point Steering Wheel (Star). If you recall, I shared my perspective about the symbolism of the Steering Wheel and the Ferris Wheel.

William,
I forgot to add a few more thoughts about your Bread and the Prince
dream.
Perhaps your 'rib- Eye lady is a clue.
The first being Rib (Adam's Rib?)
The Female being symbolic of intuition, which might connect
with the 3 eyes of O H I O.( see my previous comment)
I'm sure you know the significance of the Third Eye.
