ellyssianVery odd dream last night, and unfortunately I only remember small little bits that hint at deeper and longer parts I can't recall:
Something about Native Americans and Vikings. I was not me in the dream, but I was one of those two races, newly arrived at a village of the other along with one companion. I believe at the start, we were the Native Americans. Some bits about not being up to the job of being a legendary hero, and given a horse that was considered equally unimpressive (shades of the dun horse?) The dream itself being a legendary story, of course my character overcomes those obstacles and becomes a great hero - but I remember even less about that part.
I do remember something at the end where a young girl was constructing a stone lodge for her grandfather - it was the old way, and the others wouldn't understand, but she did. She would bring him here, and essentially entomb him, and he would receive a death with high honor. By this point, I think we were Norse, although the rituals surrounding the construction of the crypt-to-be lent more towards Norse mythology as well. The crypt was being constructed wholly within an older abandoned building, and that building sat on the edge of a trail and on the edge of worlds - as we walked out of the structure, we realized we had crossed back to this world. There was some memory of having gone in the other direction earlier. A car drove by as we hid behind the building, and, we realized, the girl building the lodge was now a girl exploring the old building. We slowly made our way around the outside, as she investigated the initial noises we had made.
