As they proceeded with their journey through the Cedar Forest, Gilgamesh was covered with strange feelings that had originated by the dreams he had. He interpreted his dreams in a very different way than Enkidu did. Gilgamesh was hopeless, he felt that they were heading towards the wrong path, as if they were going to die there. However, Enkidu was really positive about the dreams and guaranteed Gilgamesh that they were a good sign. Personally, I support Gilgamesh since the dreams reflected strong and deplorable events that I couldn't see in a beneficial or positive way. Together, they experienced the defeat of Huwawa and when they finally defeated him with a prayer, his head symbolized death to the evil and dangerous, and most important of all, power to the good. I believe this event gave them desire to continue with their adventure and they no longer saw the Cedar Forest as an obstacle, but as a place that offered them protection, shelter, and support.
