Join the new world

Inspired by Theolor, here is my own earliest remembered recurring dream from when I was very small:

There is a entrance with two sets of glass doors, sort of like a centre in my home town for basketball and other indoor sports. I open the doors and walk in. Inside there is a heathland with a creek running through it, and in the distance a broad mountain of moderate height or else a ridge which obscures a further summit. I run towards the mountain, taking care not to trip over the creek. To my left I see a small village in a hollow. I continue on towards the mountain. Suddenly from the summit there appears a bright light which is slowly moving down towards me. I know that it is the monks. I run back out the glass doors and hide in a dumpster.

As to my personal belief system. It is quite a bit more complex. I was raised within the Christian tradition, experiencing some different variations on it. Later I became Agnostic for a time, erring on the side of Atheism, followed by Zen Buddhism, Mysticism, Kaos Magick, and finally a more Shamanic approach, or "Clever Man" as is the best translation of Aboriginal languages. I incorporate elements of these and others into my practice, but as to what I really believe, that is difficult to pin down. I like the idea espoused by Terry Pratchet, that whatever we believe is our own reality.

My spirit animal is currently a tortoise. I believe it's a necessary phase. I have been more dragon-like in the past, and possibly others I can't recall.
