The Dream
"Last night, I had a very strange dream where I was talking to different gods (from no particular religion that I could make out).
The setting was a beautiful, ancient, falling apart-area: I'm not sure if you would use the word pantheon, but it seemed like some sort of temple. It was a mix of a man-made stone structures and nature that was trying to reclaim its territory.
Also, the building from a bird's-eye view would have looked like an infinity symbol. It was built for (and maybe by) the gods so that they could communicate with people.
As for the gods themselves, I don't know what better way to describe them as being assholes. I can't remember what they said exactly, but I remember the feeling that they had no faith in my abilities or each other, as well as mocking myself and the other Gods.
Finally, I remember there being an abyss exactly in the centre of the building, which I had to climb down to figure out more about myself and what the gods wanted/needed from me. My family was there to help me get down, there were some safety equipment, and I went down a little bit but didn't get too far before waking up by an alarm."
