Here is a transcript of Maj. Briggs vision which he narrates to his son Bobby.
He describes a palace of fantastic proportion. Was he actually referring to
the white lodge? Check this and watch out for the emphasis and
comments/speculations. The *emphasis* and [comments/speculations] are mine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bobby, may I share something with you? A *vision* I had in my sleep last night
as distinguished from a *dream* which is a mere sorting and cataloguing of the
day's events by the subconscious. This was a vision, fresh and clear as a
mountain stream, the mind revealing itself to itself. [Maj. Briggs
distinguishes a vision from a dream]
In my vision, I was on the veranda of a vast estate, a *palazzo* [white
lodge?] of fantastic proportion. There seemed to emanate from it a *light*
from within this gleaming radiant marble. I have known this place. I've in
fact been *born and raised* there. This was my first *return* [explain his
disappearance?], a reunion with the deepest well springs of my being.
Wandering about, I notice aptly that the house has been immaculately
maintained. There's been added a number of additional rooms [new white lodge
inhabitant?] but in a way that blended so *seemlessly* with the original
construction. One would never detect any difference.
Returning to the house's grand foyer came a knock on the door. My son
was standing there [Bobby reaches the white lodge? Hero in the final struggle?]
He was happy and care-free, clearly living a life of deep harmony and joy.
We embraced, warm and loving embrace, nothing was withheld. We were in this
moment one.
My vision ended. I awoke with a tremendous feeling of optimism and confidence
in you and your future. That was my vision. It was you.

Die hard peak freaks ought to memorize these transcripts and recite them
from memory when the opportunity arises (just like Dick and company reciting
passages from Shakespeare upon being entranced by Lana). Anyway, Ann H. thinks
the house is the white lodge.
