The term "mythology" can refer either to the study of myths (e.g., comparative mythology), or to a body or collection of myths (a mythos, e.g., Inca mythology). In folkloristics, a myth is a sacred narrative usually explaining how the world or humankind came to be in its present form, although, in a very broad sense, the word can refer to any traditional story. Myths typically involve supernatural characters and are endorsed by rulers or priests. They may arise as overelaborated accounts of historical events, as allegory for or personification of natural phenomena, or as an explanation of ritual. They are transmitted to convey religious or idealized experience, to establish behavioral models, and to teach.
Early rival classifications of Greek mythos by Euhemerus, Plato's Phaedrus, and Sallustius were developed by the neoplatonists and revived by Renaissance mythographers as in the Theologia mythologica (1532). Nineteenth-century comparative mythology reinterpreted myth as evolution toward science (E. B. Tylor), "disease of language" (Max Müller), or misinterpretation of magical ritual (James Frazer). Later interpretations rejected opposition between myth and science, such as Jungian archetypes, Joseph Campbell's "metaphor of spiritual potentiality", or Lévi-Strauss's fixed mental architecture. Tension between Campbell's comparative search for monomyth or Ur-myth and anthropological mythologists' skepticism of universal origin has marked the 20th century. Further, modern mythopoeia such as fantasy novels, manga, and urban legend, with many competing artificial mythoi acknowledged as fiction, supports the idea of myth as ongoing social practice.

I'm lonely without skin.
no end to begin
and only your mind to hide in.
I nudge life.
like an unborn child.
a dream inside but now I live behind your eyes.
I'm uninvited.
and I'm the only memory that comes through.
I'm living in your dreams.
I'm where you cannot be.
I'm way out of your reach.
I'm living in your dreams.
I'm where you cannot see.
Is it you or is it me?
I can't protect what you can't forget.
but no I live behind your eyes.
You recognize me as only a memory that comes through.
I'm living in your dreams.
I'm where you cannot go.
Beyond everything you know.
I'm living in your dreams.
You won't find me anywhere.
