I had a really disturbing nightmare last night where I was in this dark prayer room that felt like it was dedicated to some kind of spirit. The only light came from candles, which made the whole vibe feel eerie. In the middle of the room was a pool filled with pale, cloudy white water. It kinda looked like water mixed w milk, and I couldn’t see anything beneath the surface.
There was some kind of female spirit living in the water near bars or a gated area underwater. Everyone there had to go through this ritual where they were chosen one by one. A specific person seemed to lead it, deciding who went next and handing them a prayer bead or prayer necklace before they approached the pool.
When the prayer was said, the spirit would move toward that person underwater. I couldn’t fully see it, but you could always feel when it was coming. It would appear near their feet or legs. If the person was worthy or “good,” they would be blessed or purified. But if they weren’t, or if they didn’t truly believe, the spirit would grab them by the leg and drag them underwater behind the bars.
I was absolutely terrified the whole time, especially because I couldn’t see what was below. Watching it happen to others was horrifying. Somehow, everyone else was chosen except me. I remember feeling confused, like maybe they forgot about me, but also incredibly relieved that the spirit never came for me. In that moment I thought to myself ”will this affect my real life badly”. That was the only moment in the dream when I started to realize that this wasn’t real life.
Later, we had to decorate another part of the place for her and repair damaged areas, almost like honoring her. At one point, I walked through a doorway and a hand almost grabbed my face, which scared me so badly that I screamed.
Is there any kind of meaning for this dream? Spiritual and psychological? Also I’m curious of what is the meaning of the water spirit and me not getting baptized. Thank you guys in advance!!
