Nightmare Watch

I woke up early this morning from a screaming nightmare about the number three, and about having a third eye. The time when I woke drenched in number-induced sweat? 3:33 a.m. Last week I was woken up on two separate nights by dreams about the hebrew alphabet.

This has got to stop. I mean, I don't mind nightmares, fact of life, etc., but could I at least have normal ones? I mean, about things that are, oh, say, *scary*?

Could I buy a boogey-man? Sheesh.

Dream analysis is your friend, you know.

I did some discussion on that over the weekend, actually. I've been doing a lot of study related to the cabala lately, and what I remember about the nightmare of three was all stuff that I can plug into the experience of Binah without any difficulty. There are monsters up there, in the darkness of the first mother.
As a magician friend told me Saturday, "You know, you work with something enough, stuff comes up from it."
And I had never been much interested in learning cabala until recently, when it apparently became interested in me. I've started sleeping with my reference books on the nightstand so that when I wake up in the middle of the night screaming about numbers and colors and letters of the alphabet I can begin processing those experiences immediately, in the hope that I'll get whatever it is I'm supposed to get the first time, and that I might eventually be able to sleep through the night.
I don't mind this phase, I just hope it's short.

It's good that you are addressing it in this manner. Hope it works itself through soon for you.
