thats a interesting dream this might have a special meaning to you in some sort of way like it might be telling you something like maybe you pledged to something earlier i dont pretty interesting
or maybe even as crazy as this might sound maybe you were someone close to him like one of his men or someone who was inspired by him in a previous life you should do your research on him and recall to ypur dream if there were any connections

Some interesting notes: I've never felt drawn to the Arthurian Legend one way or another. Actually I rather dislike it. Maybe I feel intuitively that it is inaccurate or wrong. Also, I felt the dinstinction clearly in the dream that it was the sword I was pledging to and not King Arthur himself.
Well I think it's presumptuous to interpret another person's dream. So here's my interpretation.
It's obvious you're a pilgrim on a spiritual journey. You come to a place in your journey where there is a gathering of other pilgims, the inn. You ask directions which is the same as asking where you need to go. This inn is just a stage on your journey but you need the support and help of these other travelers.
You leave by the back door, you've decided you need to continue your journey alone and come to the crossroads which is also a tau cross and a dividing of the ways. This is always an important stage on a spiritual journey, the choice between the truth and illusion-self deception.
You meet a traveler coming from your right at this crossroads and speak with him. Previously you had to ask where you were going, now you're asking how to get there.
I noticed your other thread where it was suggested your experience may have been the dweller on the threshold. Traditionally, the dweller guards a dividing of the ways. This traveler is your dweller at the threshold because after you speak to him, you have a child companion.
The child is a symbol of a melding of the conscious and the unconscious according to Jung. This is a result of your conversation. you now have assumed responsibility for your soul. You have a future.
You have a river to cross, a major obstacle, could be the river styx. Rivers stand for fertility, irrigation of the soil and also the passage of time, a sense of loss, oblivion.
The fertility is reinforced by the trees and they are in a circle, symbol of completion. King Arthur is the mythical king of primordial mankind surrounded by his 12 knights of the round table, closely related to the holy grail.
His sword is no ordinary sword. Swords are replete with symbolism. Separation, the word of God, the end of physical and the beginning of the spiritual life, the warrior spirit. It also echos and advances the tau cross symbol. The tau is a symbol of mankind at a lower, animal level
You're sacrificing your lower life for your greater life.
Nice dream, I like it.
This is a dream I had several years ago that I have not forgotten. It made a big impression on me and it felt Important.
I was a journeyer traveling to an unknown destination. I stopped at an Inn place and asked directions (but how I did that when I didn't know where I was going... I don't know). I went out the back door and came to a T intersection. I looked right and saw a traveler in the distance. They approached and I had a short dialogue (more directions?). I watched him depart to the left of me down the dirt path. At this point I had gained a young female companion. I forget some details, they are hazy now. I was some sort of mentor maybe? They seemed to be significant though.
I looked before me and saw a river and across it a circle of trees with a memorial of some sort in the center. This had not been apparent before my exchange with the departing traveler.
Flash forward to approaching some sort of monument to King Arthur. It is very green and shady. I have a dialogue with the child. I don't remember it, but I was explaining something to her. I felt benevolent and peaceful. I was reverent in attitude. I knelt before the monument and pledged myself to King Arthur's sword.
That's all I remember. I do know that this was a significant dream, but I don't know how exactly.
