badstarSo after talking for several hours to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caletara last night, her mentioning that recurring dream (http://fuego.livejournal.com/506469.html) and me saying that it hadn't come back lately...oh, it was bound to come back of course. But instead of repeating, it overlapped and progressed a bit.
It was mostly a shortened version of the previous events- walking along the gravel path, coming to the temple. This time the doors just swung open silently when I came near instead of blasting open when I put my hands on the door's surface.
There was no one else in the temple this time. I went to one of the basins of water and looked down at it for a minute, put my hands in and drew some water out. I looked at it again for a minute and then spread my fingers a bit and watched it run back into the basin. I rubbed my hands slowly together for a second and then touched the wet fingertips of my left hand to my forehead. The temple was silent. The woman from before came along. She wearing the same white robe and thin gold bracelet. She said to me "You have come back, younger one." and again took me by the hand and led me to the altar at the far end of the temple. Again, it was laden with offerings of candles, incense, fruits and grain.
She walked away for a minute and then came back. I was given a robe to change into and pointed to a tiny closet-like recession in the wall and asked to change. After that, I was blindfolded and lead away. I could tell that I was outside, but it was still very quiet. Only a few birds chirping.
A bow was placed in my hands and I was told to shoot. Somehow I knew that removing the blindfold was not part of the process. I was given seven arrows in a quiver and shot them rapidly. I was then given seven more arrows and told to shoot again. Once finished, I removed the blindfold. No one was around. But I went closer and inspected the target at which I had shot unseen. Seven arrows spiraled from the outside edge to the center. And seven more arrows each split one of the first round.
And I woke up.
