Identical triplets dream

ARC

Padawan Learner
This morning, just before I awoke, I was having a very short dream about three identical little girls of no more than three years old. They were all dressed in identical pink floral sundresses with matching frilly hats and they stood side by side with their backs to me. Just in front of them and facing them (and me) was a young black boy about 8 to 10 years old and he had one arm up and outstretched as if "conducting" the little girls.

I woke up directly after dreaming this "image" so the dream had no explanation whatsoever other than the boy expressed some mild but marked frustration in between letting his arm down once and then raising it again to continue. I'm not even sure frustration would be an adequate term as it was more or less a discontinuance because something wasn't right and then a restart to try it again, though it's hard to say what "it" was - the girls didn't have musical instruments or anything and I didn't hear any singing though it seems singing was implied (or maybe talking, as in reciting or something).

I can't imagine the meaning of this dream with the identical girls being conducted by a boy and I think it's mildly strange that their "conductor" in my dream, was black - not that it matters but I can only recall having one other dream in which a black person was present, a man, a very beautiful man in fact, with some sort of foreign accent. He was very tall and well-built with a very smooth face and strong handsome features and he was very patient and kind, in a virtuous way, not like a superficial "nice guy" that might turn out to be a criminal - in that dream I was a very small child, about the same size as the girls in this dream, and he spoke to me very earnestly and his "name" in my dream was Tony. At the time I dreamed of him I wondered if it was possibly someone I actually knew when I was very small, but this short dream last night I can't "identify" the boy at all - the outfits the girls were wearing are similar to one worn by one of my granddaughters when she was a baby and I'm also expecting my third granddaughter in a few months, but the boy is a total mystery.

I googled Dionysus and learned some interesting stuff about him but I didn't find any reference to the names Tony, Antonio, Antonius, or anything of that nature - his Roman name is Bachus.

I don't know, there are definitely some intriguing points. Do you think there would be any significance to his skin color? Perhaps my dreams are simply becoming more integrated.

ARC,

I have found this name meaning in Russian version of Wikipedia page.
In English version it is said:

_https://en.m.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_(given_name)
Anthony or Antony is a masculine given name, derived from Antonius, a gens(Roman family name) to which Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius) belonged. That name seems to have come originally from the Etruscan language, although nothing further is known about this derivation. There was an ancient tradition that the Antonii gens were Heracleidae, being descendants of Anton, a son of Heracles. (Plut. Ant. 4)

In Russian version after possible Etruscan origin of this name alternative meaning is mentioned:

_https://ru.m.Wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BD
Анто́н — мужское русское личное имя латинского происхождения. Восходит к лат. Antonius — древнеримскому родовому имени Антониев; его происхождение неизвестно, вероятно, у него этрусские корни[2]. По другой версии, возможно, оно происходит от др.-греч. αντεω, ανταω («состязаться», «вступать в бой») — одного из эпитетов Диониса. Церковная форма имени — Анто́ний[3][4].
...According to another version [this name] is derived from ancient Greek "to compete", "to engage" which is one of the epithets to Dionysus...
 
The Greek version (Dionysus - "to engage") makes the most sense as both the man and the boy from the two dreams have a lordly "air" to their demeanor and both appear to be instructing smaller (lesser?) persons. The boy doesn't actually speak at all apart from a noise he makes when he stops the girls before continuing again. The man however, speaks a lot and is very instructive though I can't make out what he's saying in the dream but his accent is like you might imagine the speaker from one of the books of the Old Testament - is it Ecclesiastes? - where he says "I am dark but comely..." (that's not what he was saying in my dream, it was more about explaining how or where to find someone I was looking for, but it was that sort of strange old-world accent).

It is from The Song of Solomon 1:5

King James Version said:
1 The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
12 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
17 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.

Yes, of course. For some reason I was thinking it was part of another book but it is its own book isn't it? I wasn't even sure if his name was Solomon. (My memory can be so bad at times - other times I can recall every detail.)
