Surreal dream scene, cinematic and atmospheric, digital art: A surreal scene of an ancient Egyptian temple where a stoic man with amputated feet, dressed as a manual laborer and accepting his fate as a divine sacrifice, stands peacefully before a majestic male god with an animal head, while a visitor in ancient robes hastily turns to leave in fear, with lush cherry and vanilla ice cream delicately melting nearby.

I had a dream last night about law & punishment in Ancient Egypt, which I knew nothing about irl. In the dream, there was something about a man who had both of his feet amputated, but he was still able to walk, and was a manual laborer, some kind of a builder. He seemed to have made peace with what he had lost, believing it to be the true will of the gods and the necessary sacrifice to ensure order. I remember being like a tourist who went inside a temple actually inhabited by a male god, a real one (idk which god but definitely had an animal head). When I was inside, panic suddenly struck me, like I couldn't bear to face this genuine god who would see through me, and I turned around to leave before it's too late, as though escaping my exposure. Either way, I felt I would have been judged, my conscience was unclean about something. In the same dream I ate cherry & vanilla ice cream, I think that was before I went to the temple. I remember they used real fruit pieces, and it tasted so real.
