"Dream Momma, I had this dream more than once. In the dream I am high on a mountaintop sitting above the clouds with a man who had long white hair, long yellow fingernails, black eyes and long jagged teeth. I could smell his breath and sense his immense knowledge. The man looked down at the earth and expressed his hatred towards the human race and told me I was different, not better then anyone but would always be separate from everyone else."
Dreamer. This is what we call a big dream. It is dense with a primal archetype that looks like a prophet but sounds like pure evil. I say this because the prophet as an archetype always appears bedraggled and with long white hair, dirty nails, bad teeth. Hey, he's a desert prophet, they're not into hygiene, no barbers nor dentists in the desert either. But … this guy is different. He's different because of his hatred of the human race. There is only one major archetype that hates the human race and that's Satan.
This archetype is also seductive. Seductive like, "take the apple Eve." Or, "Go ahead, coke's not addictive and you'll feel better." Or, "Come on, your wife won't know and this bitch is really hot for you." Real prophets are too busy prophesying for the good of man. They don't want to seduce you, they want to save you.
How are you seduced? By being told you are different and that translates into "special." My guess is you've always wanted to stand out in some unique way and that's where you're vulnerable to seduction. Now HEAR ME, you are unique and special. Each and every one of us is and some day you'll make your mark and it won't be because of hate.
Finally, I suggest you never forget this dream as it will be a warning, guiding, voice you can evoke when you do fall into your dark side (we all do eventually). A side that has it's equal in the light. Always remember that equation.
