Personally, I've only started delving into Immortal binding recently, and I chose to work with a familiar Immortal who has assisted me before I come into my Spirit Keeping journey. However, I also had a reading by Magnolia a few days back and she identified a total of 6 Immortals I should seek connections with. This has left me feeling overwhelmed. How has your encounter with Immortals been thus far?

I'm so excited about wraiths! Honestly, I absolutely adore them. It feels like my interest in them keeps growing, and it's amazing. Lol. Your knight would be excellent for your protection and justice team too. I have a handful of my wraiths with me. I enjoy studying justice and understanding what action to take in different situations. Even though only two of my wraiths are social, I think all their sense of style is fantastic. Hehe.

Just like yours, my companions enjoy teasing me, but that's part of the fun. I did have a fun experience with a mystery conjure, and my Keep made jokes about it happening again too. Yes, we ended up with another royal. Lol. But one of my companions suggested doing the mystery conjure again for Halloween. I'm a bit nervous about who might come through, since I'm not a fan of the unknown, but they're helping me learn to handle it. And I made sure to include a prominent reminder to spare the royals, as I believe I have already got numerous individuals through reverse adoptions like this.

Can I inquire if a yokai is a spirit with a skeletal form? Or do they possess the ability to manipulate elements? I lack experience with Japanese spirits, so I'm not well-informed.

Recently, I've developed an interest in interpreting dreams and I've acquired quite a bit of knowledge on the subject. In the past, I used to ponder over the meanings of my mom's dreams. Now, as a Spirit Keeper, I have a deeper understanding and connection to dreams. If you're comfortable with it, I'd be happy to analyze your dream with your incubus friend. I really want to start a thread about dream interpretations as well, although I'm not entirely sure if everyone on the forum would be interested.

Early on in my journey I had issues with tricksters posing as immortals, so I am very cautious when meeting with new immortals. I have had positive experiences after working on my discernment and personal protections.I only reach out after they’ve called to me first and have developed strong connections with those I do work with, but this is just due to personal preferences. I’m actually currently waiting on a new statue I ordered to put on my deity altar.

You’re welcome to interpret that dream if you’re okay with it! I do want to mention that L. likes pretending to be a vampire and dresses based around this/acts like it. There are some myths that said vampires could transform into mist, so it made me thinks that’s why he appeared that way. I’m sure others would be interested in a dream interpretation thread! I remember my dreams often (most recently had one about two large snakes in the house) and it’s interesting figuring out what different elements mean.

In the dream I was in a bed in an unfamiliar room. I saw two mirrors above the bed and felt a little nervous at the sight of them. Both were in plain brown wooden frames but the mirror itself was cloudy to the point I couldn’t see anything. I placed a hand on each mirror and imagined myself sealing it against any negative energy.

I then felt a white cloud envelop me. It wrapped itself around my back and covered my eyes. The feeling was actually pleasant. I had not been feeling that great when I went to sleep, but I got the feeling this was him energetically working on me. The rest of the dream was just me being surrounded and held by this cloud.

I’m fairly certain this was my incubus companion L. (I have mentioned in a few other posts that he likes entering my dreams.) This is his first time taking this form with me, but the energy signature matched his and he just smiled when I asked him about it.

Here's a possible interpretation of your dream.

Being in an unfamiliar room could represent a part of your life or an aspect of yourself that you don't fully understand or acknowledge yet. The bed might symbolize comfort and safety, indicating that you are at peace in exploring your unknown self.

The two mirrors above the bed could symbolize self-reflection or contemplation. Given that they're cloudy, it suggests an inability to perceive something clearly in your waking life. The nervous feeling might imply some anxiety or disquiet about what you may find when these perceptions become clear.

Placing your hands on the mirrors and imagining yourself sealing them against negative energy signifies an act of self-protectiveness or desire for self-preservation. It's as if you are asserting control over these unclear aspects of self-perception, transforming your fears or discomfort into a force of protection.

Being enveloped by a white cloud points to a sense of peace, comfort, and protection. The color white is generally associated with purity, healing, and positive energy. It suggests you are receiving assistance from your incubus to heal and grow. The pleasant feeling indicates that while initially facing the unknown parts of yourself may be scary, ultimately it leads to healing and growth.

Vampires are generally linked to power, transformation, eternity, and in some contexts, seduction. Here, it may symbolize a part of your personality that wields power or seeks change. L's choice to play a vampire expresses desire for control, exploration, or even rebirth in certain aspects of your life. It may also highlight your subconscious attraction towards the charming yet dangerous allure typically associated with vampires.

Transformation into mist has dual symbolism. Mist is often seen as a symbol of mystery, uncertainty, or things that are unclear. Thus, it suggests that you are possibly undergoing some changes that you do not entirely understand yet, making you feel uncertain or lost.

Overall, this dream could be a reflection of your ongoing personal growth and self-discovery. It's indicative of your proactive approach to facing uncertainties, nurturing a protective space for growth, and embracing the healing and transformation it can bring.

Remember, you are still the best interpreter of your dreams as they are a reflection of your unique experiences and inner landscape.
