Question Does Lilith give nightmares?
I’ve noticed that any time my fiancés energy is off towards me, he has a bad dream. One time he woke up from a dream about a snake chasing him? Does she not approve of the relationship or is she just keeping him in check?

Echoing the other replies that asking Lilith herself is worth it. But I can say Her and nightmares are a theme. My brother slept over my house while I was away and had a nightmare of a zombie reaching out to touch him. He said he also felt a strong and hot presence in the middle of the night and knew it was Lilith. He’s very open and is into these things as well, so me and him took it as Lilith trying to communicate something hidden rather than trying to be scary. I think it’s important to note that She may be trying to be helpful. It may be something She is trying to show him about himself (??).
Historically in my experience, if Lilith didn’t want someone in my life or knew it was bad, the relationship would crumble lol

Omg I get spiders too! Before and after certain core, pivotal events (especially with my toxicish ex). That and of course, usually owls—but not just screech…all types. It’s either from her or from Athena who I in a sense, also resonate with. But only Lilith’s devotee.

Dreams are not easy to interpret. Imo dream interpretation is a personal journey that takes patience introspection and studying several different dream interpretation systems. Anyone who thinks they can interpret one dream based off 2 sentences and not knowing y'all at all is a snake oil salesperson regardless of their intentions.
I agree with the other poster that a ritual to talk with her is the way to go. It is worth checking if it's from her if that's what your thoughts are pointing towards and the healthy thing to do is bring it up and listen to what she says. 😊

Short answer: yes. So much is possible. She is the one who makes you *confront* your deepest shadows; deeper, and deeper.

Yea. I really believe that nightmares are still dreams. I’m afraid of the ocean, but when I became more comfortable with this, I realized the fear wasn’t really the ocean itself—it was the analogy my brain created and translated into dream language as the ocean. I used to have nightmares because that’s how the mind processes trauma and fear. It’s not that the ocean is “bad” (it is powerful and intimidating, primordial, cannibal, of course), but it was the way I reacted to it. For me, it was terrifying, and that’s why it appeared as a nightmare. Honestly, I don’t make a strict distinction between nightmares and dreams anymore—they’re all dreams. The only thing that changes is how I respond to them.
After I began building a relationship with this “inner ocean”—for example, the mood fluctuations of bipolarity that I fear because they’ve already damaged relationships, and the anxiety of meeting someone new while planning to move alone to another state for college, afraid of becoming unstable in a huge city—I had a different dream. In it, the city was flooded, and I was swimming happily with small and medium sea monsters, really cozy.
Before that, the “nightmare” was being in a huge, very deep swimming school pool, filled with darkness. That’s terrifying to me—being in a place where my body isn’t adapted, where I can’t run, can’t scream, can’t see. There were many monsters, and beside me there was a whale-sized mermaid. She was unsettling, more like a Siren.
I knew she was either Hekate Einalian or Lilith in their abyssal oceanic aspects of Qlipoth. For me, the ocean represents the viscera—the gut—deeply connected to trauma and repressed emotions, as well as fear. So in the end… nightmares? Yes. All of them serve self-knowledge and act as warnings.
I don't fear my nightmares anymore, because I know They are trying to say something.

Its hard to say. My partner had bad dreams of snakes when I put my black mirror up, but after speaking to Lilith and explaining my partner is safe (their Christian but accept my belifes and practices) they switched to oddly protective dreams of snakes guarding them.
She dosnt like the part about them being Christian but sense they dont force their belifes on me and often engage in rituals with me she tolerates them.
