23 May in Dreams

Woke up before both children had nightmarish/agitated states before midnight.

I have been noting these incidents more frequently. Decided to start making a log. After a Holy Grail Vortex prayer over each of them, they slept for the rest of the night.

Was it last night? or the night before, (22 or 21) I woke from a particularly disturbing dream and my cat was facing something over me. (she doesn’t usually come into my room at night since the kids are there) She ran off and then my daughter woke with some agitation, and my son as well.

And again, I can recall only a handful of times before these current years - maybe this and last year- that I woke with the distinct sense that something was here, and even at times hearing it. The most disturbing one happened before L was born, and I woke to the voice of something gutturally rasping some abhorrent thing, and then my son screamed a few moments later, waking from a dead sleep. That one is pretty much branded into my brain. But there have been other times, too.

There is some conjecture about cats being the threshold guardians/cleansers of the home. I know for sure my cats are… lol if only because I can’t go a month without either an insatiable urge to adopt a cat, or some stray meowing at my doorstep to be adopted. The one I have now is the latter variety, and I find that this kind have a particular aptitude for cleansing and clearing the home of their chosen human companion.
