I did my usual meditation and prayer before bed, set a glass of water beside the head of my bed to help absorb negative energies while I slept.

It was alright until about 4am, I woke from a dream that felt somewhat nightmarish, but I wasn’t terrified, I felt more stressed than anything. And I had the distinct memory of a name “Larry”.

I thought, “well, that was odd,” and promptly rolled back over and went back to sleep. Then again I woke up at 4:30-ish, felt the same thing, the name “Larry” just burned into my mind.

I thought that maybe I was just remembering it because of it being an unrestful sleep, and tried to go back to sleep. But, for the next hour and a half or so, I just dozed, the name and my anxiety not letting my body calm.

I finally did sleep, and was woken again at 7 with the same feeling of anxiety and that damn name.

I have no idea what to make of this. I’ve never had dreams about names before, and I only just started studying magicks and the occult recently.

Any advice is appreciated.
