Hello.
Last night I had a strange dream. The dream was very normal for sometime. It was a usual dream for me. Anyways at a certain point in the dream I went through a door by myself and as soon as i did the dream shifted. I realized I was dreaming at this point also. As soon as I went through the door it shut and locked behind me. There was nothing but a tub and a mirror. The lights were very dim and flickering like in a horror movie but i felt no danger. The room was in very bad condition. I started to walk in further when I noticed I was bare foot on the pavement and broken tiled ground. I then felt compelled to look in the tub. There was a naked girl floating there, under the water in the fetal position, she had short black hair about neck length. I was worried that she was dead. I then noticed something strange. There were tentacles coming from her. They where all throughout the water. I bent over to get a closer look and her eyes opened. She slowly got out the water. As she did the tentacles on her went from a white clear color to a black color, and then turned into ash as they disintegrated before my eyes. She then put her hand to my cheek and said" You and I are much alike. Soon you will be just as I am. Remember to clear yourself of impurity so the links can be established just like me." She then grabbed my hand and took me over to the tub. At this point my head began pounding and I grabbed it in pain. She said " See it has already started and smiled" Then I heard my phone alarm go off in the distance and i fell into the tub and awoke. Anyways this dream is stuck in my head and I have no idea what it could mean but it has me feeling weird. If anyone had any thoughts on this or theories. Any advice would help.
Thanks, kalasto. Thank you for your time Belief is reality!

I have a some ideas, but i'm no expert.
Going through doors, in real life as well as in dreams is a mental event. Sometimes it's not a very special one as it's not he door but what it's the threshold to. So that fact that you started out by going through a door says something.
I have heard that as people our essence when manifested naturally ie. in a non-intended way. Is often in the opposite gender to us, that a man's higher self is a woman and a woman's a man. So it could be a calling form your higher self. which would explain why the she exclaimed a likeness between you two.
The tentacles could represent the hidden eldritch knowledge lying within all. In that they existed clearly until observed, and then on further observation disappeared entirely. Not unlike all hidden truths whispered only in dreams. They are hard to know to our mind, thus they became darker as your gaze rested on them. Then they dissapeared entirely as you perhaps where not suppose to see them at all. The mind doesn't like experiences.
This to me sounds like a calling, a calling from your self to yourself. A call from Cthulhu. He's more then just an octopus after all.
I could be way off though.
Awake

Hi Shaz'rahjeem
Thank you very much for your information:
That's very interesting. never thought about it like that. That's very deep. Is there a theory as of why are higher self usually appears as the opposite gender?
Anyone with another interpretation? Any help is appreciated.
Belief is reality!

because you original self, the essence that concieved/ was your life at conception was both sexes. So when you became a male the female part becomes the higher self. This plays into sexual magic, as well as other such transcendental experiences. i suggest some googling if you're curious.

When you went through the door, you obviously reached a new position. A new room. Perhaps another plane in your consciousness? It is interesting that the girl would be in the tub. That would suggest that it is normally hidden from you. In the fetal position? Well there's a good reason they call it that as that's the position a fetus is in the womb. The very fact that you used that language would suggest that you instinctively know it's still in the process of conception! Since it was a girl and not a woman, that would suggest that your higher self is not yet fully developed. What about the mirror however? Why do you suppose that was also in the room? I mean, you just mentioned it and didn't say anything else!
Though I've never heard the theory that your higher self is always of the opposite sex? I mean, mine is a man just like me!

I think it's the unaffected higher self that is the opposite sex. Obviously such things can become subject to personal views upon them. For example i know some people regard theirs as an animal or dragon form. That part comes down to the individual. Also when you become more connected to the higher self the two of you become closer and more intertwined. So to say that your' higher self is that same sex could indicate that it's been developed through what ever practices you undertake.

Hi again. Um I'm not sure about it. It was just there. I didn't really get to see it much. It was a whole mirror. I mean it wasn't damaged, unlike most of the room. I didn't get time to explore it or even glimpse into it. To let you know this part of the dream happened quickly. It felt like it only took a few minutes for all this to happen. I was already startled by the girl, although i didn't feel in harms way.......Come on its kind of surprising when someone you thought was dead, and naked, springs to life and starts telling you the tentacles are a normal thing . joke. I've been trying to re-dream it by drawing pictures of it and thinking about it a lot. If i get back there I'll look into the mirror. Not sure how I'm exactly going to get back there though. Ive been trying all types of stuff like meditating on it and trying to bring on lucid dreaming. Last night was to no avail though. Anyways thanks for the input. Kalasto Thanks for your time. Belief is reality!

Not a problem brother! But the other guy is right as I've been working on my higher self for some time now... He looks a lot like me, only near perfect! And he has more muscles, piercings, and tattoos, so I could surmise that this is what I may be one day as anyone who knows me knows that I get tats and piercings when I can and that I work out! And he has the tattoo of my patron's sigil right where I want it too! (On my right shoulder...)

Shaz'rahjeem has it right mostly I think. The water represents a place of serenity or transition while the tentacles represent something you can not understand at this point. They tried to reach you but then disintegrated before they could mean anything! Weird.
The girl touching "your face" is probably the greatest breakthrough since that would mean your more inclined to listen to a female expression/feminine aspect & that the more male "aggression" aspect is not something you consider a "teacher" you could say.
Once again, I am convinced that tentacles represent something very disturbing to us humans & that confronting them could open strange doors. Far out though.
Awake.

You should go into more detail if you can. I know it can be hard remembering such specifics but the devils in the details.
tentacles coming form the mouth sounds rather interesting. Did she say anything to you in the dream?
Awake!

Yes she did say something to me, she told me that it was time to embrace my true calling then she laughed and said we have been waiting for you. Cthulhu spoke to me too, telling me to look inside and face the evil within myself and to be ready for him to awake. I have had dreams of demons before. The first dream with a demon is when I was 8 yrs old. He stood in front of me, I asked him who he was and he said his name was zimeal and I saw his wings, they were burned. Zimeal was very tall and towered over me. he gave me a message too he told me that the devil was over the green horizon and the doctor was surrounded by paintings. In that dream there was green hills all around me and the sun had green flames coming out of it. Also, there was a man on one of the hills and he was a painter and there was painting all around him. When I was a child I knew that I was for the left hand path but did not know how to seek others that were. Ia Ia Cthulhu Ftagin!! Awake!!

Reminds me of a dreamlike state I was in when I used some "stuff..." I saw a short golden devil with horns and the whole bit. He said to me when I looked down, "You realize that after this, you'll never look at anything in quite the same way..." And then he said something to me that was far more cryptic. He said, "And hopefully, as you slip by, god will be asleep!" I'm just now starting to piece this together. If I am somehow god or the essence of god, it is necessary that I slip by while being "asleep" or not awake. That would suggest that there are things that can only be apparent to me while I am still in my hibernation phase. Meaning that it is not yet my time, although I know that it will be soon enough!
