I Need Help, I have been seeing a repeated symbol everywhere Options

It all started around a week ago. I was meditating and I had a dream that there was an axe coming down on a bowl, and I knew that bowl full of water was the world, and when I put my shoulder to the giant arm holding the axe, myself emerging from the bowl, I was asked to defend Magic being in this world. I forget what all I said, but it centered around something like "There are still believers here, and I am one of them. Please don't give up". Since then, I've been seeing a symbol very similar to the Hieroglyphic Monad, as I'm sure some of you are familiar with. If not, here's a good example.

Remove the semicircles at the bottom, shorten the cross, and take out the symbol for Helios, instead putting the Lunar Crescent at the top of the cross, and that's what I've been seeing. Everywhere. It's shown up in shadows on my wall, it showed up on my left forearm as a tattoo I didn't remember for approximately five minutes. I took a picture, and it turned up as having nothing there. I saw it on my own face when I went to look in the mirror, and it was there for about three seconds. I've been seeing it in shadows cast across my room while reading, and in random places right in front of me. I'm not sure what to think, I can't find a match for this symbol anywhere. I've done some sigil work, but this has never been one of them. And it's really freaking me out. I want to know what this symbol is, and where it came from.

One thought I had was that it might be Phoenician, but it's not. In fact, I have literally no idea what this symbol is. Taking it apart from the Hieroglyphic Monad standpoint, it should be the cross, representing the four primal elements, and the Lunar Crescent, giving credence to the moon's power over these elements as a celestial body. But that doesn't make a whole lot of sense for me, as a person, and I'm completely confused.

Please, if you have a thought, no matter how simple, tell me. This issue is driving me insane.

The representational symbol for Helios, the circle with a dot at the epicenter, except it has two crescents, on the left and right of it, both facing away.

“Note that an eclipse of the Sun can occur only at New Moon, while an eclipse of the Moon can occur only at Full Moon. In any calendar year there are 2 to 5 eclipses of each kind (solar and lunar, including penumbral). However, there cannot be any more that 7 eclipses in any one year (4 solar and 3 lunar, or 5 solar and 2 lunar).” Fred Espenak http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/phase/phasecat.html

In the Goddess symbol with the basic circle flanked by crescents, the circle is the full or new moon. Could it be then, if you are seeing a solar symbol in the middle that it represents an eclipse of some type? Solar or lunar, physical or spiritual.

Any incantations or ritual's I've performed during an eclipse have felt more intense and amplified.

I asked a friend of mine about this and he also added, "Hiding things from others, revealing that which is hidden, opening a portal to the otherworld."
