Im not sure if this is the right place to put this either.

I had a dream last night. I've been trying to find a guide more than anything else, and I think this might have been my first experience with anything "other-worldly" in quite some time.

I dream everynight and they are usually very vivid albeit surreal in only the way dreams can be. This was different though it felt deliberate. It is also one of the few times I've been in control in my dreams.

I was standing in an old theatre house of some kind, like an opera house I guess. It had a few people in it that where milling about waiting for the show I think. It wasn't a huge crowd or anything but enough to make you feel ambiguous. I was looking for a place to sit because the chairs weren't in rows and where arranged oddly...two together over there a row here with gaps every so often and so on. I finally found a place to sit and for whatever reason I glanced up at the ceiling. I saw a "thing" for lack of a better term crawling across the ceiling, roughly the size of a person, but it was to dark to make out its features. Then I heard everyone shusshing and the curtains parting. They revealed a woman in heavy robe of deep red with pale skin a dark hair and eyse, almost so dark as to shine blue. I could tell the robe was more of a wrap because there were no sleeves and she seemed to be holding it togethere in the front. I could also tell that it was all she was wearing.

Up untill then it seemed like a normal dream. However, people started trying to distract me in various ways from paying attention to her. They kept leaning into my line of vision or trying to make small talk. It was then that I could tell this was a little different from a normal dream. I knew I was conciously resisting their distractions. The woman was talking but I can't remember what she was saying. Finally in frustration I stood to leave, when I glanced back over my shoulder she was staring right at me and so was everyone else in the room. She smiled and I woke up.

I lay there in bed for a second watching the light creep out around the blinds as my eyes adjusted and realized something. I hadn't felt this good in months. I literally almost skipped to work...which if anyone here new me would be a shock. I.Don't.Skip.

Needless to say. I've had a good day. The first one in a long time. I'm looking forward to dreaming tonight.

I guess my question is, does that fit the M.O of any godess anyone knows? I realize the description is vague and if asked I may be able to recall more specific details. I wrote the dream down as soon as I could this morning.

Not sure how much this might have to do with your other post regarding sobriety but I did feel the need to mention the possible correlation. If you drink frequnetly and then cut yourself off suddenly and abruptly that can and will have a very real effect on your psyche and your dream state and any and all workings you may do. It may be good advice if someone were to suggest for you to take a few weeks off before trying to seriously seek out a guide. I mean..let your body rest from the severe up and downs of toxicity and withdrawal states.

Not implying serious alcohol addiction by any means but even someone who drinks a couple of drinks nightly and then stops has a period of adjustment to go through in order to return their body/mind to a state where answers are more easily seen/understood. Then again I know people who use alcohol and or drugs to induce hallucinogenic states to induce such trances and working states as well...just thoughts thrown out there for your consumption should you decide to use them. Luck to you on your quest.

edit: There really wasn't any working done...no rituals or even prayers for that matter. Just a request for help.


*nods*...never thougth of it that way...

but,

Screw rest, I spent to much time floundering about all willy nilly...

My body has been through much worse than a few days sober...trust me.

As for my mind, well, thats debatable but I like to think I'm fairly grounded...don't we all?

I guess I have been thinking about drums latley...but that doesn't feel right.

Maybe I'll ask if I see her again.

Perhaps you can ask her befoore you sleep. Light a candle or some incense dedicated to her and ask her to reveal herself to you in a way that you will understand. Its worth a shot.

Sounds like a plan.

Never really payed much attention to that part of the world or their muses and gods...that'd be odd.

Stranger things have happened though.
