Ares, Mars, War, war gods, divinity, trickery, anime music dream

Dream diary update. I don't like writing in this dream blog much anymore. Besides the fact that I have to encourage tiresome sleep disturbances in myself in order to recall more dream details to write about, in my case such dream disturbances are dangerous since I'm a sleepwalker whom has also blacked out for extended periods in the past. (Once when I was slumming around Champaign-Urbana as a University dropout, I lost a whole month for example. When finally I came to about a month later, I was carrying an empty suitcase outside my single apartment along with a canceled plane ticket to Los Angeles inside. No memories. As far as I know I've never physically been to California, but I'll never be sure about that again)

Anyway this morning I had a dream about a God. I can't honestly say that it was a pleasant dream like the ones I often get about goddesses, sorceresses, fairies, and the like. I honestly thought I was doing a good job of relaxing and meditating. Yesterday I achieved a low level trance that put me in the first stage of zazen. I wasn't expecting to have dreams about anything but coffee, tv, food, and cats. It was Ares the God of War. Ares wanted to tell me that a brewing war is coming. I don't remember a lot of details, but I do remember that my favorite 2014 summer anime OP music was playing near the end of the dream when I come out of it. Its Heavenly Blue by Kalafina and the anime its being used on right now is called Aldnoah.Zero about an Earth invasion of mechas from the Martian colonies. Its a decent enough war anime even though mechas aren't really my thing. The music by Kalafina is great however.

derp- It only just now occurred to me that Ares' war god counterpart in the Roman pantheon is named Mars. The same Mars the invading planet in Aldnoah.Zero is named after. I guess that's why I keep a dream diary to keep track of such important details
