some people think we are children till we are adults and then we are adults forever more. they will have a ritual of adulthood, 21st birthday or whatever.
in truth all of life is one test and level followed by the next. we are forever reaching a new level and venturing into inner circles, some of these go smoothly and are un noticed. others we recognise only in hindsight.
as a spiritual being you have a job, we all do and it changes as we mature. this dream was telling our inner self to prepar for a new path with new reason. you were taken up for a moment of clarity to help you see the new way.
