Peculiarity.

happening frequent
yet easily dismissed
the muerta appears

Typically something like this would be written off as a dream. Granted -- many of my dreams I end up seeing thru the window of my dreams unfold before my eyes in the world of reality, but this one, this one was too on the money to be dismissed.

The Iyawó would wake up in the middle of the night because of his muertos. Muertos are the spirits of the dead who walk with you, who guide you spiritually thru your path in life. Each night, he would wake up around 3:00 in the morning and would speak of his muertos. Because my muertos weren't speaking to me, I would "Aiite, son.", roll over and go back to sleep.

In my dream, it was much like a Deep Space Nine episode when the Emissary would open an Orb in the Celestial Temple, there were people present and things were said, but the backdrop was all light and fuzziness. My Godparents were speaking to me. They were telling me I was to complete something -- a ceremony or process of that nature. It was also specified that it should be done within thirty days. Old methods and ancient techniques used were to accompany the journey.

Needless to say, I find this to be problematic for two reasons. The most important being the fact that I like to sleep, and this brief interruption at three in the morning can't be an everyday occurrence. The second being that I usually don't remember my dreams, and this could be a sign of something else.
