sigmalephI dreamt I killed a god.
The plot or worldbuilding was unclear, as is usual for dreams, but there were people, they called themselves gods, and they were hard to kill. They were ruling people, despotically, which I assume is why I killed one of them.
In the dream I was an ordinary person, not a god. I struggled to inflict any damage, and by all rights the god should have killed me first, but didn't. Because... well, saying 'because' is hard in dreams. But I think it had something to do with the state of mind I was in. It was a dream about difficult struggle, but not a dream about dying, so I didn't die.
I was a greater god than any other in that dream. Not my dream-avatar, who was just a person, but me, the one dreaming, because it was my mind that decided the god-slaying weapon inflicted wounds they could not heal. It was my mind that decided that the god would give me pitying looks about how my struggles were futile, rather than prove my struggles futile by killing me.
Not that this helped my dream avatar, who was struggling and really not having a good time. Dying and getting a different dream where I'm not trying to kill anyone would've been preferable.
