I had a dream quite a bit ago that I can't get off my mind, and while I have done research on it and personal interpreations, I've hit quite a stump and can't seem to make much out of it. I was hoping perhaps you guys could give me some insight. To get some things out of the way; I don't have a set religion or spirituality, and I merely dabble with the craft so I'm not too experienced with much that would draw attention (that I know of). I have had both Astral Projection experiences and Lucid Dream experiences, and this felt like a lucid dream over an actual Astral one so I figured putting it in Misc. would be best. If this post belongs somewhere else, I do apologize.
So, onto the dream...if you have any questions or need information I'll try my best to answer you by either giving you information I remember or if I cannot remember it, simply letting you know. I'm an open book, so have fun if you can. :)
So about two years ago I had a dream about walking down a stretch of road I used to know as a kid; it was late at night, the only light provided was by the occasional speeding car that whizzed by, and I was around the age I was two years ago versus the age I would have been (so seventeen instead of the younger age I was when living there). I was naked, wrapped in a black fur blanket, and walking at a quick and panicked pace. I knew the area, so I wasn't lost, but I was obviously feeling pursued or trapped. That feeling only increased with time and eventually I broke into a full sprint trying to run from the impending doom that felt close on my heels. Only...suddenly I was in someone's arms -- being carried away from the danger.
I remember crying and clinging to this female, who's features remained a mystery to me. In her arms, it felt as if her feet weren't even touching the ground. I remember her presence felt dark be it due to a physical feature I intuitively knew in the dream or due to simply being carried by a seemingly floating woman who, despite my pleas for her to never leave me (which I said several times over her "I won'ts" and "I promsie's") eventually said that she would return, before dropping me and disappearing. At that point I blacked out, and woke up from the dream.
At first I thought this women might have been Lilith or Hecate based on others' opinions but that didn't seem entirely accurate to me. There was just too little to go off of, and I always assumed that if I heard the name I would feel at peace, like I had in the dream. I'm not a magical expert or anything but I am relatively intuitive so...I dunno. I guess I'm just being picky and wanting more experienced opinions, but all are welcome to take a whack at it!
My interpretation will be different from yours and many other this is just simply the energy of the dream I'm getting.
On the first section of your dream, you said you were naked which for a lot of people this can mean they were feeling exposed very sensitive in a way but since you were being covered in black fur which to me means you being covered in negative energy. You were trapped in negative energy feeling exposed for whatever reason. You were running but you weren't lost so you have been running to a someone or something in which you felt like could help you. And this somebody could have been someone in real life or in the spiritual realm giving you a hand saying "it's gonna be okay you will get through this ".
Often we cry with others this can be a sign of releasing, releasing that armor and showing them our weak-side because we know we can trust them to help us and protect us. And when you were dropped this could have been a sign of her feeling like you were ready to be free once again you were ready to stand on your own.
Overall, I do feel like at the time you had this dream you were going through something that made you feel exposed or made you feel sensitive maybe you were around the wrong energy at the time which made you feel like this. And this woman being somebody in your life or maybe a spirit guide is helping/helped you get through this by carrying you into energies that you love and getting you away from that negative energy.
I agree with the previous comment. However, if you feel that the woman was some kind of deity, someone that feels similar to Hecate in my perception is Hel.
I have worked with her for several years and she is a dark, strict but motherly figure, and your dream reminded me of her, though you are the only one who can be sure of who she was.
You said your experienced and lucid dreaming so I'm guessing you might have been in the ethers or your gray zone between life and death when you're in the ethers you can often be effective by your own energy subconsciously and everyone's awhile communicate with others on the same level so it could be someone that was more experienced that helped you
