last night i had one of those dreams so clear and strong that it didn't dissolve right after i woke up
i was in a total void which slowly became a meadow under a starry sky and a single straight road in front of me leading all the way up a mountain
when i looked down i saw my completed legs and i knew i'd finished the rest of me and it all felt very right so i said "forward it is" and started walking the path
it got steeper and curved around the mountain
then from behind i heard "selene"
it's not often that the goddess of the moon makes her presence known in a dream as she tends to keep a low profile but when she shows up it's best to listen carefully
she basically said that there was only one road to where i was going and it was a hard one
but i've got to get there anyhow so all i said was "forward it is"
i don't know how it is for whoever's reading this but it's not uncommon in pony dreams that time and distance don't follow the usual rules and sometimes there's a sense of being outside one's own body
that's what happened and next thing i knew i was rushing up this near-impossible mountain climb with all sorts of narrows and pitfalls and pretty much every imaginable difficulty
but at the top there was another open field and it was snowing gently
then i heard medya
her song was like bells and the crystals in her wings rattled softly
i couldn't see her but i knew she was there and complete and happy and i needed to be there with her no matter what
then i was rushing backwards to the bottom of the mountain and i saw how long and twisted the path really was
and then the night mare "nyxta" was there next to me
it's said that nyxta never sets a greater challenge than a pony can actually do but she'll push them to the very brink in the process
suddenly it all felt like slow motion when she leaned in and grinned and told me i'd better get a move on because time was short
i looked up the mountain and gathered my courage and said "forward it is" and started walking again
then my hoof hit the edge of the path and i started to slip but before i could catch myself
i woke up!
that last bit might seem ominous but i believe it was meant to keep me focused and understanding of the fear and danger i have to work through
having been visited by two goddesses in one night i know deep in my heart that this isn't just a good sign but a genuine boon that i am thankful for
but okay yeah it still spooks the piss out of me
