Dear Journal,
So now I left Govinda with that guy called "Gotama." Something told me I would not be going above and beyond like I'm supposed to. So anyways, I met a ferryman, He gave me a ride down the river. I don't know where I'm going but, I have to make the best out of it.
So as I'm sleeping later on the night, I have some trippy dream. My dream involve my friend Govinda, Govinda somehow turned into a girl. As the "Girl" Govinda came to me, I began to suck on her breasts. I woke up the next morning finding my self departing from the ferryman's boat. I found my self in a small village, so i began to find my way around town.
So as I'm walking around, I see this pretty cute woman washing her clothes by the river. As I walk by her she looks at me and places her left foot on my right foot. the second that happened, I knew she wanted to "ascend the tree" with me... "ascending the tree" means to have sex. So I then started to passionately kiss her nipples, but then a voice inside me, told me stop, I packed my stuff and kept walking.
As I was walking I found my self in a small grove, in which a saw a very beautiful woman. I guess you can say i was acting like a "peeping Tom", because I couldn't keep my eyes of her. She then entered back into some building. I after that, I went around town asking about her, to find out more about her. The next day I finally went up to her to talk. She is a courtesan, which is a high-class prostitute. Her name was Kamala. We made some small talk, and by the end of the next day, I read her a poem, in which we kissed right after. I then made my decision to keep traveling to find out more about myself. I will miss Kamala, but i know this wont be our last meeting.
-Siddhartha
I think Siddhartha is wanting some "experience" and is sexually frustrated. Having that dream of Govinda took a toll on him, and made him want real actions with women. Even though he was being a creeper, he still got what he desired so that should of raised his self-esteem.

This passage is very imformative. I think these dreams that he is having shows that he really wants a love life, and needs someone to love, but as we know, that is something Siddhartha is not able to do. I think that the dream he had happened to be govinda, because he is someone Siddhartha really loves.
