Whatever you do, don't look up into the night sky in your dreams.
I made that mistake once and saw them. The ever changing and always curious. The old and ancient things, hiding within the endless void.
Now, no matter how my dreams start, I can feel them. Looking..
Signs of them keep appearing, reminding me of them. Even the people within my dreams whisper around me, warning me not to look.
The ocean is no longer safe either. Once it contained beauty, filled with mermaids and treasures. But now, now it is silent.
I have seen them and now they wont leave me alone.
So don't look up, for your own sake, DON'T LOOK UP!


(Though written dramatically for the sake of telling how I feel about it, it is true. Dreams are dreams, but still, it creeps me out every time.)

Things I have found in my dreams that keep reminding me that they are looking:
  • Books filled with pictures of them.
  • Old Temples with murals about them.
  • Figurines with stores and restaurants.

Sorry about ignoring your advice, but I think it pertains to you, yourself .

Thats your mind . The surface of The Great Sea is your consciousness , the depths; your unconscious . For me , mermaids rose from the depths and transformed into shining angels of guidance . Something has shifted ....

'' All delicate days and pleasant, all spirits and sorrows are cast
Far out with the foam of the present that sweeps to the surf of the past:
Where beyond the extreme sea-wall, and between the remote sea-gates,
Waste water washes, and tall ships founder, and deep death waits:
Where, mighty with deepening sides, clad about with the seas as with wings,
And impelled of invisible tides, and fulfilled of unspeakable things,
White-eyed and poisonous-finned, shark-toothed and serpentine-curled,
Rolls, under the whitening wind of the future, the wave of the world.
The depths stand naked in sunder behind it, the storms flee away;
In the hollow before it the thunder is taken and snared as a prey; ...

- Swinburne

There is even a patron ; Madonna Stella Maris - Star and Queen of the Sea and protector of all who sail upon her ;

I looked up ... and there she was !

They are calling to you . Dont fear , they are aspects of yourself that need attention ... like pain will make you aware of something that needs attention .

How do they look though? Do you know if there's a specific number of them?

So far there are 8 of them, I think. Each seems to rule their own domain. From fear, hate, pain and madness. To malice, lust, pride and that one I still don't know much about.

They are big enough to cover the night sky. Their forms are merging and morphing into themself and are hard to look at. They each give off their own feeling when you look at them (hence the domain theory). They don't look human but rather like something from out of space, like blackholes or nebulas mix with webs of strings or flesh. Their eyes are endless and are always moving around.

I've had certain inspirations about eight domains on the outer edge of the dream ("astral" as some call it) realm. I wouldn't think they'd manifest in such a horrid way, if this is indeed the same structure of eight that shows up on my maps.
