Dreamcatcher: subliminal sigil messages

subliminal sigil messages

I was outside at night in some kind of playground-like setting....not a playground, but something similar to nexus at burning man 2010 with all the wooden multi-level platforms. I was alone.
I received a letter that looked like a business envelope that was printed with brown ink. The envelope was covered in tons of symbols and logos, but they were foreign as if they were from another planet. There was a message written in english on the left side of the envelope that read: "Warning: The contents in this letter may affect your brain."
I took that to mean that whatever was inside would affect my consciousness, and got a feeling like there was some kind of subliminal message or brainwashing that could happen and that I should look at my own risk.
I looked inside the plastic window on the envelope, and I could view what was inside.
I saw a series of animated black and white drawings. They were perpetual motion/ kinetic motion pendulums compiled of various symbols and sigils, some that I recognized from other dreams, altered states and visions in the past. What I saw did affect me on some level, because of the recognition of the symbols, and the way they were moving.......I can dance with movements similar to the way they were moving in the animations, and for some reason, the symbols provoke an emotional response, like they mean something very intense, but I don't know exactly what.
I've been wanting to draw and paint these symbols, but I don't know how to describe what they are or what they mean.....
Many of them include circles, dials and arrows that spin, ...one time I had a vision of a rotating symbol of eight arrows pointing out in the shape of an eight pointed star, ...I later found out that this symbol is a chaos star. The way these animations in the dream were compiled and moving resemble a chaos pendulum.

Meaning of Dreams

Dreaming about receiving letters, just as in daily life, usually represents receiving news, information, or messages from someone specific, from your unconscious, or from the world at large. If you look forward to mail, this dream may have positive connotations for you. However, if you dread the envelopes that typically hold the monthly bills, then this dream may have negative and anxiety provoking meaning. Typically, however, dreaming about receiving letters has positive and, at times, spiritual connotations. You may be coming into greater awareness about some aspect of your life, having new realisations, increasing self- understanding, or getting to the truth of things that concern you. Some believe that seeing many unopened letters in your dreams may represent missed opportunities.

The Dictionary of Symbols

As a light shining in the darkness, the star is a symbol of the spirit.
Bayley has pointed out, however, that the star very rarely carries a single meaning—it nearly always alludes to multiplicity. In which case it stands for the forces
of the spirit struggling against the forces of darkness. This is a meaning which has
been incorporated into emblematic art all over the world (4). For this reason,
‘identification with the star’ is possible only to the chosen few. Jung recalls the
Mithraic saying: ‘I am a star which goes with thee and shines out of the depths’
(31). Now, individual stars are often seen in graphic symbolism. Their meaning frequently depends upon their shape, the number of points, the manner of their
arrangement, and their colour (if any). The ‘flaming star’ is a symbol of the mystic
Centre—of the force of the universe in expansion (4). The five-pointed star is the
most common. As far back as in the days of Egyptian hieroglyphics it signified
‘rising upwards towards the point of origin’, and formed part of such words as
‘to bring up’, ‘to educate’, ‘the teacher’, etc. (19). The inverted five-pointed star
is a symbol of the infernal as used in black magic (37).

Being nocturnal, their symbolism is associated with that of night; they
are also linked with the idea of multiplicity (or with disintegration) because they
appear in clusters, and with order and destiny because of their disposition and
location (according to Horapollo Niliacus).

Paranormal Investigative Research Group Dictionary

(from the Latin meaning "Seal" though it may also be related to the Hebrew סגולה segulah meaning "word, action, or item of spiritual effect") A symbol created for a specific magical purpose. A sigil is usually made up of a complex combination of several specific symbols or geometric figures, each with a specific meaning or intent, and given spiritual "power" through prayer, meditation, ceremonial magic, sex magic, or other methods. Sigil magic was and is a common form of magical work among practitioners; symbols and signs have always been a tool of magicians and alchemists. A sigil may have an abstract, pictorial or semi-abstract form. In medieval ceremonial magic, the term sigil was commonly used to refer to occult signs which represented various angels and demons which the magician might summon. The magical training books called grimoires often listed pages of such sigils. A particularly well-known list is in the Lesser Key of Solomon, in which the sigils of the 72 princes of the hierarchy of hell are given for the magician's use. Such sigils were considered to be the equivalent of the true name of the spirit and thus granted the magician a measure of control over the beings. Sigils are commonly found in Jewish mysticism and Kabbalistic magic (being a special focus of Sefer Raziel HaMalakh and other medieval Jewish mystical sources), upon which much of Western magic is based. In Hindu tantra, a yantra serves to focus and concentrate mental and esoteric energy. The ancient Germanic bin runes are other examples of the idea. Voudon practitioners use veves to summon the loa. Rural Pennsylvania Dutch utilize hexwork. Unlike with traditional sigils, whose creators made use of traditional lore passed down from generations or from books, modern users often create sigils entirely themselves and devise individual means of "charging" them with metaphysical power. Modern sigils may appear in any medium—physical, virtual, or mental. Visual symbols are the traditional, and presumably still most popular, form, but the use of aural and tactile symbols in magic is not unheard of.
