Do you dream nightmares that truly scare you? Ones you wish you could unsee? So shocking you can’t fall back asleep?
I used to fear those dreams. Now I watch them with curiosity. I even write them down and dig into their meaning. Though they feel uneasy in the moment, I don’t want to forget them.
I’ve learned to value not their form, but their hidden truth. Darkness, madness, violence, filth, slime, and blood serve the Self—the core of who you are—to trick the guard, your mind. Then your Ego catches a spark of insight.
Sometimes, horrific acts show the deep despair of a rejected part of you. It’s just trying to grab your ever-drifting gaze. Other ways didn’t work.
Understand this: where you feel calm and cozy, there’s no new information. But in that “filth” lie your treasures—wild energy, Wow solutions, and possibilities, each brighter than the last.
Next time a nightmare strikes, ask your subconscious: “Judging by the heat, this matters to you, and so to me. What are you trying to say?”
Sincerely yours,
