In the vision I had, there was a giant, floating tree called Yggdrasil. Someone in it said its leaves were responsible for death and rebirth or something. So I looked it up, and it's something from a myth.

I can't stop thinking about it.

A past life. Other worlds. Is the Bureau saying that reincarnation is real?

I'm so confused. I don't know what to tell my mom. She's going to think I'm crazy.

Advice would be great, if anyone has any.

Sorry for the trouble.

If it helps, that was my guess. But I didn't expect anyone to really be making references to classic literature.

Where did you find that information on Yggdrasil? A specific site or book? Or just general knowledge, since you seem well-read?

Apologies; seemed apropos in the moment.

General knowledge, or something read quite some time ago, I'm afraid. Aside from a few notable deities and the gist of some of its major events, I don't know a great deal more about Norse mythology.

I'm absolutely certain the New York Public Library system would have something on the topic, if you fail to find enough on the World Wide Web. Librarians are excellent resources. I cannot make any personal recommendations, though I believe I saw that author Neil Gaiman released a book retelling some of the stories a few years back. But you may want to seek out something more academic if you desire/require anything in-depth.

It sounds like it's gonna be a lot of extra homework on top of what I already have, but I need to know everything, I think.

Thanks, I'll look into all of that.

You're welcome, of course. Good luck in your research.
