Editorial note 1: The following is something I originally published on March 3, 2024 and holy fu(k everything which has transpired since, but especially 19 days later. That all aside, I’ve been going through some older pieces and refreshing them; I’m bumping this to today because of the most important synchronicity for me – the Shiba Inu. I met one yesterday and was considering adopting one as I’ve wanted a doggo for a while. I had completely forgotten about this dream, but re-learning that it was the Shiba Inu protecting me is all the confirmation I need that this is the one for me.

Editorial note 2: Not a single word of the originally published piece has been altered. There is one caveat, however, and it is marked accordingly.

***

I dreamt that I was becoming involved with some man who had a three-eyed dog. I believe it was a Shiba Inu (which I had to look up as soon as I woke up. Thank you Google).

The man in my dream was of no consequence; he was more like the peripheral for the three-eyed dog who loved me the moment we met. Tail wagging, face fully turned up at me, gentle gentle and open. Eyes soft. The Shiba Inu is a hunter, however. Layers are important in the dreamscape.

“The presence of the three-eyed dog in the dream indicates that the dreamer possesses a heightened sense of intuition and insight, enabling them to make accurate judgments and decisions. It is a reminder to trust their instincts and rely on their inner guidance.

This symbolism can be linked to other dream interpretations, such as the meaning of dogs in dreams as symbols of loyalty, protection, and intuition. Dogs are often seen as loyal companions who possess a strong sense of instinct and can perceive things that are not immediately apparent to others. […] the dreamer possesses a unique ability to see beyond the surface level of situations. They may have a deeper understanding of the motives and intentions of others, as well as an increased sensitivity to the energy and dynamics within their environment.

This symbolism can also suggest the importance of trusting one’s instincts and paying attention to the subtleties in life. The dream may be a reminder to rely on one’s intuition and to trust the message.” (v insidemydream(dot)com)

To dream of any dog in Islam is to know that you are, in the awake (I use this term loosely since we are not yet truly awake until after the lifting of the veil) realm, protected and safely kept and held. That there is loyalty, safety and protection around you, and that you both give and expect these very things. I mean, no sh.t.

My intuition has been ferociously strong these past months, more than usual. I know feelings, and insecurities intimately. I have been able to know a thing, and have it confirmed shortly after; not because I went looking for the information, but because people have sought me out and volunteered info in order to protect me. It has been wild. There’s a number that’s also important but I don’t yet know what it means. I know, without needing to be told, and without needing to ask. There is a very particular situation into which I am locked, and I wish I weren’t. I know what others want of this situation and it’s all very annoying.

I have been seeing through every word, and reading between every line like never before. It’s been an expanded and heightened intuition because what I am seeing and knowing wants to be seen. I don’t access what doesn’t wish to be known (this is where people have volunteered the info); none of us should. To do so is to invade privacy. This is a non-negotiable.

Let me assure you, I am as equally open, but my lips are shut. If that which wishes to be seen is looking at me, it too will see me fully open, vulnerable and transparent. I will turn off this tap when and if I need to, but for now, I don’t need to. alhamduliLaah. AlhamduliLaah, because the vulnerability of being seen is an expansion of self. It means that we are not scared to be judged. It means that we trust that the one doing the looking isn’t some kind of dipsh.t who will take advantage of or cause us harm. Safe spaces; always, it is the safe spaces we should lean into and trust. And if the safe space turns out to have been a misrepresentation, then we have learned lessons to move forward. We shut the door, and open a new one. Always, we do this with love while leaving the rest to Allah.

You’d be some kind of idiot not to believe in the metaphysical, and the unseen, not to believe in energy movements and reads between people, and certainly some kind of dummy to believe we are disconnected from one another. But. I am f.cking exhausted by it. Because all of it exists in a purgatory. I can’t see the end yet, and I don’t know what I’m doing here. Again, it’s all very annoying. And it’s heavy on my soul. It’s also linked to this, the last time I wrote about dreams: The Vivid Dreamer Oracle.

Heavy.  

I’m going to be isolating myself a little bit in a week from now. I need to shut off the sounds of everything and everyone; silence always brings answers. I intend to speak only to my most beloved; only with those I adore. I’ll be with people who love me as deeply as I love them. (My family and friends virtually as I never disconnect from them. They lift my heart daily, alhamduliLaah) I’m hoping that silence will lighten the heavy energy. Ya Rab.

I have never liked being tapped into anything this deeply. It’s happened several times in my life, and while I understand it’s a blessing, I still struggle with it.

A marker for myself. There is one thread in this situation which I’ve not pulled on. I’ve shared it only with R, who warns me that it’s not a thread but rather a residual of past experiences which have brought with them a hyper vigilance. I’m trusting her and so keeping the thought aside for now. But if anything shifts and my Witchy Senses explode, I’ll know immediately, and so will you. Allah yustur. Allah yi7mee. (Caveat: R was incorrect. It was not residual. A few days after this was originally published, the thread was pulled by another and my instinct and intuition proven to be correct. I wish R had been right instead.)
