I had a dream last night where I met the Goddess of Loneliness. I was in an ancient place, full of stone slabs, colonnades, and in the distance forest stretched off to meet the horizon. A figure passed me, wearing a long red cloak, and ascended stairs near me, I felt they wanted me to follow, so I trailed behind and they sat down on one bench, and I sat down on another. Beyond the red robe, the rest of the being was black, feminine in appearance, but had a featureless, formless void for a face, there was nothing under the hood. She sat with one leg over the other and turned her head to look at me. I knew this being as the Goddess of Loneliness, though I don't remember her telling me this. We may have spoken, I cannot remember, all I remember is being intensely attracted to her, and feeling no fear, just curiosity and closeness. The image attached is what she looked like in that setting.This was an unusual dream for me, as they are usually boringly mundane, I can't remember having anything this profound for a long time.Has anyone else had dreams with apparent deities in? How can we interpret them?
>non playable character has a dreamnext
tell me more OP. was it day or night. what did you hear. what did you feel besides attraction.what was attracted? the body/heart/mind/spirit?seems like an apparition of hecate. possibly artemis (normally silver, white green and red hem and amaranth) or hesychia. im thinking hecate (hopefully)Achlys (hopefully not)they may be appearing as mirrors or you may have conjured them. we have common archetypes and consistent representation for reasons sometimes.

> Born to Titans Perses & Asteria; pre-Olympian, retained honors under Zeus. > Benevolent in Hesiod: aids mortals with wealth, victory, prophecy. > Witnessed Persephone's abduction; became her underworld companion with torches for Demeter's search. > Transformed Hecuba to black dog, Galinthias to polecat, sacred familiars. > Slew giant Clytius in Gigantomachy, earning Zeus's favor. > Eternal torch-bearer for Persephone; aided Jason with promaonis herb vs. Golden Fleece dragon. > Sends phantom hounds vs. spirits; invoked by Medea for spells. > Goddess of night, ghosts, unseen; chthonic yet celestial/maritime. > Rules sorcery, spells, herbs, poisons, necromancy; witches' patron with ritual torches. > Grants visions, dream influence, mind-reading, shapeshifting. > Traverses earth/sky/sea/Hades; protects souls in transitions. > Liminality/mystery: thresholds, doorways, gates, crossroads choices. > Triple-formed (maiden-mother-crone) with torches; evolved from single form in late antiquity. > Ancient stone/crossroads shrines match her temple imagery. > Symbols: dogs, keys, serpents, torches, yew, cypress, aconite. > Hekate's Deipnon: monthly crossroads offerings; Boeotian black goat burnings vs. morae. > Hekate Soteira (Athens plague-averting), Phosphoros; Lagina processions. > Esoterica: Chthonia (Samothracian rites), Enodia (roads), Propylaia (gates). > Occult: Hecate's Wheel sigil for dream-divination; Aor Noctua night-owl scrying. > Modern witchcraft: Queen of Witches, dark moon, necromancy, protection. > Black/red (+white) palette, underworld fire, blood, fierceness, best match vs. Nyx/Oizys/Hesychia/Artemis/Calypso/Achlys for red-cloaked dream figure.
>>41676867oh. like gutter oil?or like cats?or maybe the fact that yeah, latent symbolism can track through cultural mythos. how about chinese dragons anon? they arent a thing ever.develop a habit of shutting the fuck up twice as much as you say dumb shit.ver not req'd
>>41676984Is this a Hekate breakdown?>>41676867Chinese restaurants?
>>41677000i guess yeah. a bit of a mixed bag over time, just off hand this is the stuff that aligns. other anons might see if differently.I am quite curious OP. Ive got some ideas, but id like to hear more first.
>>41677000also. nice roll
>>41676846>was it day or nightDay, I believe, it was light enough at least.>what did you hear. I seem to remember we might have exchanged words but I cannot remember what>what did you feel besides attraction.I felt drawn to them, I was curious, not frightened at all, I wanted to be with them>what was attracted? the body/heart/mind/spirit?It felt like all honestly, I rarely feel attraction, I'm not a romantic or particularly sexual person, and I almost never have dreams about women, but this was weird and almost unsettling, I can still feel the attraction now. There was an element of sexuality to it, but it was mostly feeling really drawn to them, and wanting to be with them. As I mentioned, the vast majority of my dreams are very mundane so this was really bizarre.>hecate, artemis, Achlys Could they appear in this form? There was nothing with her, just her sitting on the bench, no animals nearby, she wasn't holding anything.
that's just mariah from jojo
>>41677130honestly its really only a personal diety or hecate as i see it.. and too many alignments not to be hecate or something in that image.do you recall another light source at all a torch? any animals, even distant? what else besides words? was it silence? forest sounds? her breath? your thoughts? a bell?any gate, road, arches or alters? what kind of trees? going UP stairs is interesting.any sense of temperature or air movement? wind? chill? warmth from her presence?the stone slabs/colonades—worn/smooth like ancient ruins, or newer/sharp? any carvings/symbols?when you sat on your bench facing her, did time feel normal, slowed, or endless?after waking, has loneliness shifted at all—less heavy, more inviting? any synchronicities (keys, dogs, crossroads)?hecate = light-bearer, liminal guide at thresholds (appears in myth during abduction/grief/magic interventions). hesiod gives her daylight powers; pausanias notes sunlit shrines. daytime/stone benches = conscious crossroads. this seems to fit you. her void-face and presence fits mystery cults' felt epiphanies > words. appearing as to you the goddess of loneliness may be unique and personal. hecate in your form, or personal psyche-figure. or your own guide.rare total attraction (body/heart/spirit) and a lingering pull could suggest soul-image: alluring threshold to eroticized solitude/depth, not romance.day benches = conscious choice-point. i assume there was a doorway of some kind?no animals/props would indicate it seems again personal over mythic. does she remind you of anyone/thing irl? what would you associate her with, something you are endeared by or to.
>>41676353This is an NPC realm. Go back to your spirit realm gaijin. This is OUR home.
>>41677130what might "being with her" invite awake?if you could return and ask/say one thing to her now, what?does "wanting to be with her" connect to any current life pull (solitude ritual, new path, inner work)?try and journal it. even now. write the dream in the present tense (i am walking among stone slabs) and see what new details appear.ask in writing: goddess of loneliness, what do you want me to know? and free-write a response as if you were her speaking to you.explore: where does loneliness show up in my life now? when does it feel painful, and when does it feel like sacred solitude?active imagination / visualization: in a quiet moment, imagine going back to that stone place. sit beside her again in your mind. let a dialogue unfold: ask why she has no face, why red and black, why she feels so attractive to you, what she offers and what she asks in return.a lot of people who have similar dreams interpret them as a call toward witchcraft, deeper solitude, or psychic/inner work, particularly with this deity. could be a calling. and it seems safe daylight and no fear with a guide in change.or part of it may be the inner figure visiting you: an aspect of yourself that holds loneliness, mystery, and desire for depth. the pull feels erotic, but not just sexual more like being drawn toward a deeper way of being alone, or a deeper part of yourself, rather than toward a normal relationship.sorry it took so long. i used an llm to tidy up how badly arranged my writing and thoughts can be i hope that does not detract from the questions.
>>416762861: that being disapproves of the current you2: a part of you was probably captive3: it seems it will stay there until you fix itAnd the attraction thing is natural. People are attracted to beings stronger than themsleves. That's why superior gods come in lesser forms to avoid revealing their presence.The no words part is also natural Next
>>41677331My memory has been jogged, prior to seeing her walk past and then following her, I did approach a small altar, waist high, that had a large purple candle on it, possibly with writing up the side, but I think the candle was unlit. No light source I'm aware of, I think I may have spoken to someone else before approaching the altar thing but I can't really remember. No specific sound, maybe just the sense that we briefly exchanged words. I think there were arches, it was a bit like ancient Greek ruins with multiple levels, but the stone was grey and worn, it seemed very old. The encounter felt brief, time seemed normal I believe. I'm not sure the sense of loneliness is any different, but the strong feeling of attraction stuck around for hours after I had awoken. No synchronicities I've noticed. She doesn't remind me of anyone. >>41677345>what might "being with her" invite awake?I'm not sure, I just felt like I wanted it.>if you could return and ask/say one thing to her now, what?Possibly 'What do you want of me?', because thought she never explicitly asked me to follow and sit with her, it felt like it was expected.>does "wanting to be with her" connect to any current life pull (solitude ritual, new path, inner work)?The thing is I'm already basically a hermit with no gf or friends, maybe the want is the allure of solitude. I really appreciate the help, it's left me feeling confused. I'll try journalling, I wrote a bit down as soon as I woke up but I wasn't detailed enough, I'm already starting to remember a little bit more. The issue with imagining her however is I could influence what she says with my own imagination so I'll maybe just sit with it and see what happens.>>41677347Wouldn't I have felt fear though?
>>41677440Actually I say an altar, it was really just a stone block with a candle on, I suppose the presence of the candle could make it an altar, but I can't remember what else was on it, there was something though.
>>41677347i dont agree..>>41676286Invitation & Equality both felt "wanted" to follow; separate benches imply companionable meeting, not worshipper-deity hierarchy peer-level encounter in sacred space. No heirachic command, joint consent and journey.Unremembered words + void face suggest communication via presence/energy; "knew" her identity intuitively (archetypal recognition/memory?).Attraction unsettling lingering and rare for OP implies profound psyche-pull; sexuality present but secondary to wanting to be with (union beyond physical).Threshold Vibe: Stairs up, ancient stone = ascent/elevation; forest horizon = vast unknown; benches = pause for choice/contemplation.Personal Resonance: "Goddess of Loneliness" self-named by OP's psyche; breaks mundane dream pattern = urgent message.this is something you either knew previously, or has a reason to show itself and not demand a price. now, with this said. the alt implication is that this is NOT to your benefit. Seduction to Stasis: equal benches = endless contemplation, no movement (stuck at threshold, never choosing).solitude monopoly no other people/paths shown with the risk showing your loneliness could eclipse real potential relationships. you may fear thiseros bypass: spiritual pull skips embodied life (goddess over humans by your choice (no pussy))false ally: "free" gift might demand later price integration work, or shadow possession if ignored)watch for: synchronicities turning obsessive (keys/dogs/crossroads); solitude feeling too sacred/comfortable; life decisions paralyzed by her image. if attraction isolates vs. empowers, pull back.oid-face + intuitive "knowing" (no words needed) suggests claircognizance (immediate psychic gnosis). Rare numinous dreams amid mundane baseline = selective psychic gating, unconscious filters most signals, but archetype/deity contact pierces through. Daytime dream setting implies conscious psychic readiness emerging.i think you were visited on equal terms
>>41677469You did not have to reply to meAnd i am 100% correctI don't even need to read that bullshit of yours to know it's WRONG because the message behind the dream is always smaller/more direct than what the person had to say to explain it. Not the other way around.Actually you can take, for example, 4 details + 3 events in the dream and it would only send one message or one irl eventBut you wouldn't know that now wouldn't you dumb bitchDon't reply to me>>41677440I said what i saidIf you have nothing else to interpret i'm gonna fuck offAnd you will remember what i said
>>41677636oh cool. didnt ask and dont care. i dont agree and you've said nothing that would make >because the message behind the dream is always smaller/more direct than what the person had to say to explain itprove it anon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7RgN9ijwE4this kinda fucks your theory.
>>41677636lol. shits everywhere. doesnt read or reply to anything.feels accomplished and morally superior.OPs right. he'd have needed to feel fear. >you said what you said. and it was dumb as fuck.i hope you stick to your word and stay fucked off unless you'd like to do something more than a simple tantrum.bet you wont.
In case anyone here isn't schizo, Hekate is a goddess of outcasts
