Thank you
@Joe for this thread and to all and each of you who make it grow by sharing your own experiences.
I don't have dark thoughts, as I always find a way to see some light somewhere, like
@loreta and others put it.
No viral infection of any sort either, fingers crossed.
I noticed these last three months or so a recurrent and unusual fatigue and big discomfort in my chest, arms and neck, maybe due to my lateral thoracic outlet syndrome. So, my rheumatologist and I are currently investigating whether this fatigue and tedious discomfort are due solely to the syndrome or if there is another reason to it.
On-going events in Palestine deeply saddens me (and sometimes it burns me up) so I try not to stay for too long on X or Telegram, as most of my feed is full of dreadful and sad and ugly News, images and videos. I rather follow the dedicated thread here on the Forum.
Periodically, I woke up at 3 a.m. after nightmares (curiously, there was even a case of a synchronous nightmare with my wife when we spent the night in different places, but at the same time, almost at the same time, we had a nightmare). At the same time, we both turned to crystals for help and it helped!
For several years now, I've rarely remembered my dreams, although some "impressions" remain from time to time.
But I've got one like yours
@AndrewMn, at the beginning of October, if I recall correctly. And I can tell you that I still can "feel" it today, almost 2 months later.
I was at a party in the very large garden of a beautiful house, a few people standing around me, one of them looking like my little sister (with whom I've had no relationship for a long, long time, long story). I began to feel waves of darkness emanating from 2 or 3 people, including this "looking like my little sister". So I moved away from the group so as not to be affected by their evil energy, before finding myself in a big car parked nearby. In this car was a dishwasher (I know, dreams are so weird sometimes) with the cutlery fork and knife points up in the front basket. I thought it was dangerous, so as I didn't want anyone to get hurt filling or emptying the dishwasher, I decided to remove the knives and put them in the back basket, points down.
Once the knives had been placed in the front basket, my gaze returned to the front one: more knives stood there, points upwards. So, I did the same thing as before with these new knives, even though I was worried that they had appeared "on their own". Looking again at the front basket, this time I saw a huge knife pointing upwards, and I felt literally threatened by it, as if it had "its own imperative". I started screaming as if the devil was standing in front of me, I woke up still screaming, waking up my husband in the process.
It took several minutes with the help and comfort of my husband before I calmed down, as the demonic sensations of the dream had kind of followed me while I was awake. I told him about my nightmare, and he told me that he was dreaming too when I woke himup with my screams: With a sword, he had just struck down a demon who was about to kill a young woman with a knife. This was too much, and I began to cry as I realized the possible implications of our two dreams, which seemed to be related/interlaced in some ways.
the 3 am thing is also very interesting as I have been suffering from that too for the last few months, so much so that I decided to get back on the melatonin.
it certainly is heart warming to have this amazing Forum, I hate to think where I’d be without it, your experiences and support are truly inspiring, thank you brothers and sisters, keep the lighthouse shining bright ..
For years, usually once or twice a week, I use to wake up at 3 a.m. -exactly, so much so that I don't even look at my alarm clock when this happens, I know it's 3 a.m. But since the Pierre's passing -and almost every night the week that followed- it happens more frequently.
Since I'm a bit used to it, when it occurs I get up and leave the bedroom so as not to disturb my husband, smoke in the kitchen and take about ten drops of 35% CBD. Sometimes I can go back to sleep pretty quickly (30 mn) but sometimes it's more about 2 hours. In such cases, my cristals with me, I pick up my current book and continue reading until I feel I'm falling asleep. I had paused melatonin at the end of September, but I started again to take my usual 2 mg in the 3rd week of November. It did not made a huge change, so when I really feel exhausted, I put anti-noise wax earing Quies and I'm pretty sure I will be able to sleep enough even if it means waking up later than usual.
Anybody feeling very aroused when waking up at 3 AM?
I used to, more than 3 years ago and it was annoying me; I did not like to be woke up this way so often. But since the Covid mania, Pouf! Gone. It never happened to me again. Oh, joie!
But there is always light in the darkness (as loreta and others have pointed out so well), including hope. And didn't the C's say that things will get worse before they get better? Like, it's always darkest before dawn. We don't know when the dawn comes, but maybe that's a test of Faith in the Universe and also of Love for it as it is. But as we are facing those tests together, it is easier. My heart goes out to you all wherever you are and with whatever you are currently struggling.
I could not have express it better.
Again, thank you everyone, being a part of this Forum is a blessing.
