>non playable character has a dream
next

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.

>>41676846
Last 3 words reveal you have zero actual knowledge or experience, develop a habit of going to Chinese restaurants.

> 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.

>>41676867
oh. 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

>>41676984
Is this a Hekate breakdown?
>>41676867
Chinese restaurants?

>>41677000
i 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.

>>41677000
also. nice roll

>>41676846
>was it day or night
Day, 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

>>41677130
honestly 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.

>>41676353
This is an NPC realm. Go back to your spirit realm gaijin. This is OUR home.

>>41677130

what 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.

>>41676286
1: that being disapproves of the current you
2: a part of you was probably captive
3: it seems it will stay there until you fix it
And 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

>>41677331
My 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.
>>41677347
Wouldn't I have felt fear though?

>>41677440
Actually 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.

>>41677347
i dont agree..
>>41676286
Invitation & 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 this
eros 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

>>41677469
You did not have to reply to me
And i am 100% correct
I 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 event
But you wouldn't know that now wouldn't you dumb bitch
Don't reply to me
>>41677440
I said what i said
If you have nothing else to interpret i'm gonna fuck off
And you will remember what i said

>>41677636
oh 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 it
prove it anon.

this kinda fucks your theory.

>>41677636
lol. 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

>>41677856
thats pretty modern post-christian demonisation reddit hedgewitch. but yeah i guess.
not really much of that theistic inversion stuff until 500bce but then yeah. became THE witch of lore.

bump for the Goddess of Loneliness

OP
tell me about your journaling if you did it.
could you follow up with recent dreams
did she come back in your sleep?
did she come back in your waking life?

>>41680435
The only additional information that I could remember was I think I spoke to someone, a woman, just before approaching, or near the block of stone with the candle on, but I can't remember what was said.
>could you follow up with recent dreams
They went back to being mundane, I didn't make a note of them as I didn't feel they were important, maybe I should have done.
>did she come back in your sleep?
>did she come back in your waking life?
No, and the attraction I felt, which seemed to go by yesterday afternoon has now mostly gone. I tried to visualise being with her again, and seeing where it went, but stopped because I wasn't sure whether I was making it happen or whether it was 'her'.

>>41676286
Women can't be lonely, there's always some cuck ready to listen to her and fuck her pussy. You made this whole shit up dude, there are no lonely goddesses.

>>41681377
That was the dream I had mate, maybe I was the cuck in that situation.

>>41681279
probably a good idea.
forcing a god of loneliness to yourself is probably not mentally healthy. let alone other ramifications.
>different woman?
the alter and candle are literally part of her mythos. basically EVERYTHING you described aligned with her.

do you use reddit at all? (subconscious absorbtion/osmosis)
have you recently become more comfortable being alone? or found benefit to becoming stoic?

certain deities and entities are said to be fickle.
perhaps its not for you right now. not an expert and to everyone, sorry for cringing up the thread but this tickled my autism.

without rambling much more at you.
seems like a subconscious message to yourself.
or a calling to learn a little more about her and yourself.

thanks for the thread. you gave me a song to write for her. you also helped me understand she's been a muse for me
>>41681412
i mean shit dude.. that might no be a bad way to put it.
>psyche cucked by lonliness itself..
less might be more.
i did write up a little psych stuff. but im a moron and i dont want to possibly offend you or embarass myself talking shit.

>>41681521
It tickled my autism too, I've never had a dream like that, and also the idea of a Goddess of Loneliness is a strange one. I occasionally browse reddit but not much, I'm not sure if I've become more comfortable being alone though perhaps with Christmas approaching, which I don't really like due to having to socialise, it played a part.
>benefit to becoming stoic
Definitely.

So now I've been spiritually cucked by Hecate, great. Thanks for the help.

>>41677447
key or keys?
dagger?
yew branch. (were they yew trees in the forest btw?)
wolfs bane/aconite?
hecate wheel?
lodestone?
jet or lapis lazuli?
papyrus?
amulet?
food?
theres many offerings and symbols from the greek sources.
but the single candle is apparently a guidance thing.

uneaten offerings might draw favour or wards


also also, basically everything i read told me you should make an offering. i dont want to tell you to start doing magic or some shit. im just looking at this academically for coincident aspects

>>41681626
It may have been a large book, but I really cannot remember, I just know there was something else on the stone block.

I don't know anything about offerings, I'll look into it. Maybe I'll light a candle, say her name 7 times and sacrifice a goat for her.

>>41681570
lool
oi. you said it not me, i just thought it was apt to me if thats any better. ;'(
I think youd pick up any lad(ettes) you want bro.
could also be as simple as
>woman be fickle
not unheard of.
any games or media recently with an archetpye like that?
i gave you a scattergun buffet of potentials.
is there anything you want to know that isnt in there? she really is fascinating in the aggregate.
theres obviously shit loads more post-greek in the magics and witches area.

>>41681654
I mostly play autism simulators and strategy games, I'll have a think about whether I've come across anything like that irl or in media recently. All I know is that after being into theology and religion, and now moving onto learning about the occult, and have been learning tarot, I've now had a profound dream with an apparent deity in it. Really makes you think.

>>41681641
ill look at that.
im not an expert at interpreting this shit, so anything i find at this point you can probably find as well.

neopagan practices sometimes place books of poetry, spells, or hymns on altars to honor her as guide to hidden knowledge to echo the torchbearing/illumination.

a book next to the candle. it might be invoked wisdom. but there werent really books in the greek. best you'd have might be a tablet or unrolled and stacked scrolls in review (not storage)?

found anything else cool while you've been on /x after that? maybe it sent you on a journey and something tangental cool happens?

this doesnt trouble you at all does it? i kinda want it to be a thing but given everything in life, likely just overthinking on my part.

is anything in the thread of interest to look at further? im gunna have to try and induce a lucid dream at this point.
>im a loney void, imma lonely void, oha oh ohh ive got a love that keeps me waiting.

>>41681700
The thing is I know next to nothing about Greek mythology, it isn't an area I've studied yet, but I'll definitely look into Hecate now. This also doesn't really fit into my own spiritual and metaphysical beliefs, it can, but it's unexpected. It doesn't trouble me, as I mentioned I didn't feel any fear from it, it's just interesting.
>>41681708
Please no bully, I'm used to reading early Christian texts, not meeting ancient Greek gods in my dreams.

Here's a freebie anon, orphic hymn to Hekate


I call Ækátî of the Crossroads, worshipped at the meeting of three paths, oh lovely one.

In the sky, earth, and sea, you are venerated in your saffron-colored robes.

Funereal Daimôn, celebrating among the souls of those who have passed.

Persian, fond of deserted places, you delight in deer.

Goddess of night, protectress of dogs, invincible Queen. 5

Drawn by a yoke of bulls, you are the queen who holds the keys to all the Kózmos.

Commander, Nýmphi, nurturer of children, you who haunt the mountains.

Pray, Maiden, attend our hallowed rituals;

Be forever gracious to your mystic herdsman and rejoice in our gifts of incense.

>say hi to guy in dream
>cringe fest ensues

yikes

>>41676286
why is it always goddesses with you coomers. If there was a loneliness of anything it would be masculine.

>>41682483
Because that would be gay

Tea man

>>41682483
about 4 billion lonely male god anon. hardly the fountain of influence. shit loads of actual gods of loneliness or solitude.
i suppose people are playing into inverse archetypal assumptions as self-recognition in unknowns via polytheistic recognition. same reason it pisses you off or make you reactive in some way?
what might allow me power in strengths was the feminine.
what allow me strengths in power was the masculine.
this || that || lookCloser() || breakLoop();

A female might want to thor visit thors hammer in a dream for example.
but maybe not the god of hammers and lonliness.

Not much to interpret of interest in a guy talking about relating to the lonely void face god in a dream who said nothing.
But a lonely void face god you might wanna fuck?
Yeah theres some cake there to eat.
I'm sick of bitter oats.

its like an ass in 3rd person vidya. staring at it is lose-lose unless you embrace it.

if OP wants to bang Hephaestus thats cool.
but honestly thats kinda healthy for a gay dude.

The one who was cucked by the god of war with the goddess of love herself.
Working in deep caves, in isolation with only the cyclops or his robots. Cast down from the mount by his own mother and god of marriage hera for his lameness and deformity

This motherfucker earnt his place back in the place of gods because through sheer hard fucking work and brains. (different to that fucking atrocious dog sisyphus) managed to deceive Hera by trapping her in a golden throne he made. forcing ares to plead for her release.
He gets fucking wasted, rides a mule (big-ass fuckin mule) back in there when he's good n ready. and just lets her go. simply to shut her the fuck up along with zeus and ares.

it might just be escapism. some of this shit has no poetry and is actually just social commentary

>>41676286
OP, I do dream interpretations frequently and have for years. The short of this is that you’re attracted to being an outcast/being alone. There’s an allure to that and whether you’re integrating those periods of isolation in your life in a healthy manner is another subject, definitely still worth dissecting and there’s hints within your dream. I’m going to reference one of the other anons here and help you ground the meaning a bit more.

As a forewarning, I’m not familiar with occultism — and entities, which I am at least aware of how they don’t frequent dreams to often. Usually, psychological archetypes are mistaken for them, but I still wanted to let you know my reservation in advance so you understand that my POV is limited and this will affect my reading, at least slightly (eg. can’t comment on the candle, at minimum).

Part of the reason you haven’t had many friends and a lack of romantic encounters is because you reject the idea of connection; it’s not as “sexy” to you as finding your own way. You want to confront the parts of your unconscious mind in a solitary manner, perhaps to prove something to yourself.

>>41677440
>>what might "being with her" invite awake?
>I'm not sure, I just felt like I wanted it.
You don’t entirely know why you enjoy solitude.

>>41677469
>Invitation & 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.

>>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.
>What do you want from me?
Again, you don’t know fully know what you want to gain from your solitude. This has been illustrated twice now.

>Threshold Vibe: Stairs up, ancient stone = ascent/elevation; forest horizon = vast unknown; benches = pause for choice/contemplation.
Yes — this gives substance as to the reasoning. The “higher vantage point” is nice, but is it unhealthy in excess and are you consistently granted with it? Is it worth the cost? I can’t answer those questions for you. We can lack interpersonal connections out of fear/insecurity or to gain perspective on other occasions. I’m sure the justifications teeter for you, as it does for everyone. A dream will often show snippets of recent headspaces or a larger general overview rather than encapsulating every moment where that perspective has been employed. So, separate from the dream interpretation itself, I’m also saying that you should be careful in over-equating the elevation through isolation with ascension as an absolute.

More incoming, maybe.

Thank you, anon. Usually, I’m more focused on the visuals and what associations the querent makes with these, but I just don’t have much time to question and analyze that thoroughly — plus, there’s potential occult symbolism.

Something OP should consider with a small personal anecdote:
A small number of people are truly meant to be entirely alone. It’s largely been the path for me, but I can still recognize that we’re social creatures, so I make my efforts. Personally, completely forgoing people for years in favor of personal passions was overkill and didn’t end well. A lack of balance and an obsessive yet uncentered focus became destructive.

It light of making adjustments, I can now feel a clear gratitude for solitude due to processing the contrasts of more interaction than I’m comfortable with against the sense of autonomy from withdrawal. Social obligations quickly become taxing and I felt this as impeding on my freedom, so I found ways to work around that. You likely also consciously/unconsciously feel the dilemma of whether connection requires restrictions of perspective or is a liberty — and I believe you’re mentally trying to work through that in what your dream has tried to reveal to you. The caveat in meaning here would still be if this was a visitation of Hecate, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to make a stance there and even with that being the case, what I’ve outlined could be worth contemplating to make more sense of the common ground you share with the being and trying to understand what you want out of this better, common goals, etc.

Overall, being able to make the proper distinctions as to when you’re succumbing to temptations in a manner that acts as an emotional release vs enslaving you to something equivalent to the primal desires of lust (symbolic interpretation), will guide you correctly. Your previous methods of enlightenment have proven successful to a degree and now you must ask yourself, what’s next? Do I have to make any configurations or do I continue as is? Neither is necessarily wrong, this is merely to figure out what YOU’RE best aligned with. To determine that, if it were me, I’d be looking at my other dreams. Since you said yours are mundane, perhaps it’s time to reevaluate and switch things up. Your life might be starting to feel monotonous. Take that with a grain of salt though because that’s only an interpretation at a shallow glance.

Good luck, OP. I hope you’re able to enjoy the holidays, even if it’s a bit lonely.
