"Good morning, Sir Tony. I hope you are having a peaceful Ghost Month. First of all, I apologize for the incessant questions. There are curious things happening (which I am not new to), but what happened to me last night was incredible. Still I want to know if it was what I think it is, or if it was just the result of me getting steeped in dark aesthetic (which I know you might find funny).

"For context, I have been rebranding myself and changing my colors--all the deep and dark colors associated with Death and the Underworld. I am not fascinated with skulls, but somehow my dislike of them is slowly dissipating. "Last night, after curating images with the same palette and motif, I found myself dreaming as if I were these two individuals who died in separate occasions and causes. In the first scene, I felt like I was in my friend's body in the hospital and I choked on my saliva (how he died). Then it shifted to me seeing things from the perspective of my boyfriend's dying father. There was a gurgling sensation on the throat (the father died of aneurysm and coughed lots of blood). I also saw my bf doing CPR on him/me. He confirmed the color of the shirt he was wearing, which I saw in the dream. "The next thing, the 'scene' shifted to me wearing an violet-black ensemble, like in one of the images I had been looking at for aesthetic inspiration. I was in an empty mall, being 'led' by teen sales ladies garbed in the same dark purple and black ensemble. I broke off from their grasp, only to be blocked by a sales guy, also wearing the same colors. It was then when I said, 'ayokong sumama'. I woke up after and lit two sticks of incense kasi I remember it's the Ghost Month. I told my bf about this and he said he had a similar dream after his dad died, only that he felt there were snatchers in the mall and tried to protect his father. But his father just kept walking until he was gone. "I am curious sir as to what you think happened. Did I actually travel the astral realm to see/feel how these two men died? Or was it just the result of the many 'dark/death-related stimuli' I had been consuming lately? "And is it really possible that that mall is one version of what people call 'the tunnel'?

My reply:

Hello ________!

The first part of your dream tells me that you have throat-related issues. The issues are either physiological or symbolic--if symbolic, that is where the blue chakra is located, implying that you have been having difficulty with expression and communication.

The mall is your social locus. In it, what you fear most is judgment from others, especially since you have observed how others like you have been judged, and were consequently considered outcasts.

Remember that dreams are symbolic, almost never literal.
