I’ve always had a small group of friends, about five of us, including me. But lately, there’s one person I’ve been feeling kind of weird about. She’s really religious in real life, but for some reason, I keep thinking about her. So, in this dream, she asked if she could stay at my place because she had a fight with her mom. I said sure, she could stay for a bit.
She went into the bathroom to wash up, and I went to my room to look for some clothes for her. After a while, I went downstairs, and she was gone. I opened the front door and saw her walking to her car, leaving. She said she’d made up with her mom over the phone, so she didn’t need to stay anymore. I went back to my room, but then I was thirsty, so I grabbed a plastic water bottle that I usually keep by my bed.
When I opened it, it smelled bad—like must and vinegar. The water was cloudy, and fog was coming out of the bottle. I didn’t drink it, but I could still taste something bitter in my mouth. Then I saw a black candle inside the bottle, and there were ants and dirt on it. Next to the bottle, there was a small skull with a red veil over it. I woke up feeling freaked out, so I immediately started praying. I also did an egg cleanse and saged my room. Now I’m wondering—am I being hexed?
Dreams like this can definitely stir up some unsettling feelings, but they might not always indicate something supernatural. In your case, the dream could be expressing some of your subconscious anxieties, particularly regarding your friend and the dynamics between you two. The fact that you’ve been feeling “weird” about her lately may be influencing the way your subconscious is processing these feelings in the dream.
The presence of witchcraft or unsettling symbols like the black candle, the skull, and the fog-filled bottle could be your mind’s way of trying to make sense of something that feels off or unknown to you. The fact that your friend, who is religious in real life, was involved in this context could symbolize your conflict between her known identity and this new, strange behavior you’re perceiving in the dream. It could be highlighting a sense of unease or tension, not necessarily about witchcraft specifically, but about something hidden or not fully understood in your relationship with her.
Your feeling of being hexed might be a reflection of your emotional state—perhaps you feel like you’re losing control or being affected by something negative in your waking life, and your mind used the imagery of witchcraft to give that feeling shape. The egg cleanse and saging you did after waking up could show your attempt to ward off this negative energy, indicating a desire to protect yourself or regain some emotional balance.
In short, while the dream is unsettling, it’s more likely about your emotional state and concerns with your friend rather than an actual curse or hex. Your subconscious might be asking you to reflect on your feelings of discomfort, especially as it relates to your friendship and any hidden tensions you might be sensing. If these feelings continue, it might be helpful to talk to your friend about what’s been bothering you to gain some clarity.
