Ancient Egyptian Creation Myth: Khepri Version

In the begining there was nothing but water. A chaotic and tumultuous force known as Nu or Nun. It is because of Nu that the world began. One day, Nu's waters reseded and from them stood a single hill, and from that area rose the scarab god Khepri (Who is sometimes known as a version of the sun god Ra) rose above the hill, creating the first sunrise from all of his glory. Now Khepri had within his heart, the desire to create all things and so it was him and him alone that created the world. Khepri would draw materials from Nu in order to make and shape this world. Khepri knew for a world to function there must must be law order and stabilty, thus he laid the land in the foundation of Maat taht stood for all of these principles. Now Khepri was the father of the gods Shu and Tefnut, the gods of the sky and moisture. He gave birth to them by expelling them from his mouth and left them within Nu. One day, Khepri decided to raise his children from the watery depths and brought them to him, and when they came to him, they presented him his lost eye, also known as the sun. At this, Khepri wept profusely and from his tears man emergered. And thus man was born. Now Khepri's eye was furious, she was angered that there were those that were higher than she. So Khepri took the sun and placed her high upon his brow so that no one could ever be above her. In her fury and wrath, she ravished the land, allowing it to become furtile. So Khepri was able to make plant life and animal life. In the meantime, Shu and Tefnut gave birth to Geb and Nut who in turn gave birth to Osiris, Isis, Seth, and Nephthys creating leadership and order within the world, and that is how the Earth was made.

Dreams

Ever since I was a kid, I've always had the most bizarre dreams. Most of them are pretty weird, and I attribute that to my extensive imagination. There are even some dreams/nightmares that I can still recall vividly and it has been years since I had those particular dreams. For example, when I was young, I would have chronic nightmares of the same exact thing. The people I loved most and the people around me would be infected by a virus that would turn them into a hybrid of a zombie and a dementor. (This was before I had even heard of the Harry Potter series though.) I would watch in horror as people I knew would change from being human into a walking decayed corpse. (The imagery still give me the creeps and is really gross so I won't describe what they looked like.) I would try and flee from these creatures and try to find help, but everyone was one of those creatures, and by the end of the dream I would also be turned. This nightmare was one that I dreamt of almost every night when I was 5. I would also have other dreams too with themes of me being a princess, fighting dragons or other monsters, being a super hero, etc. I enjoy dreaming because I like to get out of my own reality which is probably why I have always loved reading. I love to wake up, tell my mom about my dreams and the two of us try and figure out what the heck was I thinking. It can be really funny. :)
