World Dream Atlas

« In 1968, I dreamed of a beautiful woman in white. The next day, I glimpsed her again, standing in my garden. She was a spirit announcing her presence, and she has been protecting me ever since. My garden is filled with spirits. There are dwarves living in that tree. They are called ansitsit. Sometimes in the evening I can smell their vegetable stews. The ansitsit are friendly, but keep to themselves. At night, when I walk in my garden, I call out ahead of me, to warn the spirits that I’m coming. I wouldn’t want to step on one. »
