Cool! I wish I was able to contact Marcus to discuss it. Around 3 years ago, I started a regime of discursive meditation. Shortly after that I added the Sphere of Protection and daily divinations. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of non-corporeal riff-raff that can get through the SoP plus discursive meditation plus divination. My dreams have also changed. I'm not forced to fight all the time in them. They're still banal, bizarre, and nonsensical as dreams tend to be but the feeling is much lighter. Interestingly, a few months ago I had a nightmare about evil people who chased and captured me. I fought them and barely won. I consulted my Ogham and meditated on the dream. They said to invoke my patron in the dream next time instead of trying to fight. So that's what I did. The following week, I had a dream about bullies cornering me by some lockers. In the dream, I said, "Don't come any closer, I'll invoke Her on you" and they were like "Yeah go ahead and try it." One of them tried to hit me and was repelled backwards and laid on her behind. The other two ran away, basically screeching "Aaaagh! TSW!". My thoughts are that night terrors and the people/things in nightmares are perfectly real, and the gods who easily defeat them are also perfectly real.
