Following the yellow brick road
#2
DLP, the analogy you give is amazing if you know the true story of the Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum. Originally, the road wasn't gold, it was silver; and it was an 'over-most's-head' story of the overview of the market manipulation by powerful bankers in America of the Stock Markets, based on Baum's contempt for the likes of JP Morgan (who is given credit for being the actual instigator of the Oct. 1928 Stock Market Crash that led to a decade of the Great Depression).

All of the figures, the iconography in the story actually relates to America in that day-and-age, from the 'tin man' (a well-meaning man but with no heart) to a 'cowardly lion' who had no courage, led by a young girl from Kansas full of innocence (implying that only wholesomeness could guide the whole out of their 'lost wilderness').

Baum actually had to change the silver-brick-road to gold-brick, to throw off Feds because he greatly feared that the story was too obvious due to the silver currency issue at the time.

There are a couple of excellent documentaries available on how the history interrelates with the book on these issues. That your story, your dream, addresses the deeper context of the 'true, but hidden story' is amazing. The 'real wizard' is the one who pulls the levers and pushes the buttons on the world economy, behind the backs of most citizens.
