Gods as predators (a more personal note)

[sophiaserpentia]

Another thing which has been on my mind lately is a dream I had 13 years ago, which I still consider the most disturbing dream I've ever had.

Dee complains to me about cockroaches which have taken up residence under the bed, so I crouch down, ready to kill them. When I get down there, I see that the cockroaches have built a whole city, which I am suddenly small enough to enter. The cockroaches greet me with cheers and worship; they explain that they are aware of their ugliness and repulsiveness and are glad that I have come to liberate them from their wretched existence.
