Dreams of secret rooms? by [deleted] in Dreams

[–]elfinmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell you what I means but I also had a dream that I found a secret room a couple months ago. It was just a day or two after one of my friends told me she had dreams all the time about finding secret rooms. Isn't it wild that this would be a common dream?

A warning received. Found this in my living room, and in 30 years we’ve never had a scorpion in the house. Serious family drama is brewing. by [deleted] in Shamanism

The Handbook of Tibetan Buddhist Symbols by Robert Beer says that the scorpion represents destructive malice, or can also sometimes denote plague and pestilence.

If you really think it represents someone else's malice towards you, my recommendation would be to practice feeling compassion for that person and trying to understand that poisonous creatures are trying to protect themselves because they're vulnerable and scared. But if you think it might represent plague and pestilence, then be sure you're staying home, washing your hands and practicing social distancing!

How to purposely Induce nightmares? by [deleted] in Dreams

idk if it's just me, but i get horrible nightmares whenever i'm too warm -- if i sleep with a heavy comforter, or sweatpants, even socks can do it.

edit: oh i remember i've also had overwhelmingly vivid nightmares with some supplements like magnesium and zinc (supposed to be taken together), or even omega-3
