Between ages four and ten I had a reoccurring nightmare that awoke me always screaming.
I was surrounded by darkness, black as night, and there was nothing, no sound. Faintly at first and then growing, was a low rumble sound that shook you from the inside. What appeared to be dark clouds, but on the ground level like fog, grew thick and heavy, as the surroundings became visible as a city, with people. The people were running, and their screaming became audible, as the low rumble grew louder and louder until it overcame the screams. In the midst of this chaos was a figure in the distance, still as a statue, white as light and snow, glowing. I was drawn to this being whom seemed to be a woman or girl. She was calm and still as the chaos grew and the rumble unbearable. I was drawn to her like a magnet, I could not run or scream like the others. And when I reached this figure, her eyes opened, and when they did, the rumble and darkness engulfed us all as I awoke screaming.
This has a multitude of meanings for me. Everything from remembering my own birth, to a vision of some future. Either way, however it may be interpreted, it does not persay directly represent Hecate, it has just been the closest mythological figure that she resembled, a statue with light. Some of my earlier interpretation, I thought that she was holding an umbrella, or at a snack cart with an umbrella, also bright white.
