In the books, Madeline is known for her excessive sentimentality, saying for example that "the stars are God's daisy chain" and that "every time a fairy blows its wee nose, a baby is born." In the dream, though, the line Debbie-as-Madeline delivered was, "Truth lies within violence like a scream." Not exactly a Madelinesque thought.
Later in the dream, I looked through my blog archive (in book form) to find the title of the most recent book I had read. I was a bit surprised to find that it was something called Poppa and Poopa the Bear.
In the morning, I found a comment from Debbie, on "Myth-kitty and Stevie Smith," mentioning seeing the name Dr. Debra Bassett in the movie The Strange Dark. Her own first name is spelled Debra, and this obviously syncs with the dream about her playing the role of a Miss Bassett in a movie.

William,
That dream was crazy!!!!
And you still don't think we are Kindred Spirits
telepathically William?
I beg to differ.
I recall Ask Jeeves( as far as an internet search engine servant)
in the late 90's early 2000s.
Copy and paste: ( see link )
"Jeeves is a valet, not a butler; that is, he is responsible
***for serving an individual,***
whereas a butler is responsible for a household
and manages other servants."

The two fish Pisces are connected but swimming
in two different directions symbolic of their dual purpose
which is to sacrifice OR serve.
Same but different.
In dreamwork,
having dreams about someone or even ourselves
as being younger than we are is more typical in
dreams than not. Oscar and I were young ( late 20's)
Keep in mind that the soul is ageless as well as 'genderless'
and void of any race. It's Universal.
The soul is pure spirit.
When I saw the brief scene of Dr. Debra Basset's
file in the movie The Strange Dark it of course
got my immediate attention because of the spelling.
In the movie Dr. Debbie was a traditional Ahh, (Debor ah)
I am a RA.
I found the ahh interesting considering that Madeline Basset
in your dream was emotional almost childlike.
copy and paste:
"ah meaning:
used to express a range of emotions including
surprise, pleasure, sympathy, and***** realization:"
You wrote : "In the dream, though, the line
Debbie-as-Madeline delivered was,
"Truth lies within violence like a scream."
*******Not exactly a Madelinesque thought."

Remember William, every thing has a dual nature.
Spoiler Alert.:
In the movie the character Susan, the white Lily,
in The Strange Dark was red haired', unaware
trusting and childlike although she found strength
to stab her foe the Lilith-dark haired Maria. Both totally
different with a common 'same' connection which
was Ed.
If you see the movie, you'll note that at the beginning
there is an interesting but appears
trivial quarrel between Susan and Maria
concerning Ed especially his name.
Each repeating Ed's name several times.
While watching the movie I thought it was quirky both
Susan and Maria repeating Ed's name.
But now after I researched a bit of the symbolism
in the movie, I can see the hidden 'message
behind it which is the meaning of Ed's name.
Copy and paste: asterisk mine
It is derived from the Anglo-Saxon name Ēadweard,
composed of the elements ēad "wealth,
**** fortune;****prosperity" and weard "guardian, protector”.
~~~~~~~~
In the movie Ed had stored the KEY of the secret Third Star
inside of his mind. He possessed the fortune.
Recall my comments about the law of the three and
the triangle of 3 as the creation. Same but different.
Aren't you too the Fortunate Son/SUN William?
I also thought interesting Dr. Debra's last name
Bassett and wondered if there was a hidden
message behind it.
A Bassett hound has long ears to the ground.
I found this interesting about Basset hounds.
"Laconian Hounds were reputed to ***not give up
the scent until they found their prey. ***
William,
Part 2
Prey could also mean the TRUTH.
Which truth certainly has always been preyed upon
by our opponents. IMHO
Copy and paste etymology:
"prey (n)
goods taken in war," from Old French preie "booty,
animal taken in the chase"
(mid-12c., Modern French proie), from Latin praeda
"booty, plunder; game hunted.
The meaning "act of preying or seizing upon anything"
is from early 14c.;***** bird of prey*** is from late 14c.
~~~~~~
In The Strange Dark, Maria and her assistant
were certainly preying on Ed to seize the truth
i.e. the secret that Ed was protecting.
As was Susan, as she didn't know whether
Ed was mentally well or not, which is why
Susan and Ed had separated before
a divorce.
Enter the psychologist Dr. Debra Basset... hunting
for the truth as far as if Ed was mentally unstable.
~~~~~~~~
Prey and/or Pray? Both searching
for the 'gold' which is the truth.
In dream work a dream is more often than not
about the dreamer, not necessarily the
other person in the dream. That other person
is an archetype of something or someone
within the dreamer. Especially
if the other person in the dream is different in some way
as in your dream which featured the younger 'me'
as Madeline Bassett.
I believe your soul presented
Madeline Basset as an archetype of me
because perhaps I represent ( my role in the dream)
the dogged search for the truth
in whatever direction it leads me. Much like
an explorer.
Follow the symbolism.
Correction: I wrote: "I found the ahh interesting
considering that Madeline Basset in your dream
was emotional almost childlike."
My bad. I realize now that in your dream
I was playing the role of Madeline Basset
who in the book's stories was very childlike.
