Need Some Help Interpreting Options

Hey guys, I need some help interpreting this dream I had last night. I pay special attention to any dream involving a female friend of mine, and this one did. However, unlike normal, I didn't wake with full memory of the dream like I normally do. I'm very disciplined in dream recall and I've been capable of crystal clear memory of a dream immediately after waking for months now. Here's what I could remember this morning when I woke and immediately began logging the dream.

Walking to lunch with best friend as usual. A dark shadow is over her the whole way. We are talking about something thats bothering her, but beyond that I don't understand any words. I notice a sigil in the air, but it is too faint to make out.

Any advice on what I should do from here would be appreciated. The walking to lunch is a routine that me and my friend follow every day. If I can help any further in interpreting this dream, please say.

If she already knows how to hypnotize people then I would ask her. Besides instructions for hypnosis are not like instructions for baking a cake. It takes preperation and time. While I could describe the basic principle of hypnosis and give examples on how it works I could even find litterature on the subject. But there's no way I could safely just say "do this and expect that" too many variables - especially when it comes to the power of suggestion and planted thoughts or memories.

Power of suggestion is where a person feels compelled/influenced to behave or think certain things based on subtile ques given from another source. For example - person gets sick and goes to work and tells everybody they're sick. Next day more people come to work sick. On a sub-concsious level they think there is an illness going around and therefore the appropriate reaction for the body is to get sick. While some make actually get the illness some will only think they are sick.

Another example - spells. One person tells another they cast a spell on them, say a curse. Well the person who's cursed believes they are under supernatural powers and thus blames bad things that happen to them on magick, not coincidence.

Planted memories are a bit more controvertial. The basic idea is that when people recover memory through regressive hypnosis they do so under the guidence of the hypnotist and so what they actually remember is as a result of the hypnotist, not the mind. In other words many people who believe they've been abducted by aliens go to a hypnotist. Generally the person already believes they've been abducted, they just want to remember it. Thus they go to the hypnotist and they guide the person through "imagry" thats suppose to be memories. The human imagination doesn't just make up random images it puts things into a context, sort of like dream. So they go through these images believing they are suppose to be of an abduction experience not realizing its just a product of their own imagination. And this is really why hypnotism it self is a controvertial subject.

Hypnotism is where a subject willingly allows their attention to focus on something like a candle, pendulum, finger. And while they focus on what ever object the hypnotist gradually instructs them to relax, slow their breathing, even their heart rate, then close their eyes in this relaxed and focused state. While the eyes are closed they are further instructed to visualize a peaceful place and something like say stars forming an unfocused word that they are gradually told to see spells out sleep - the subject then falls into a state where they think they are asleep, but yet concious enough to speak and carry out commands. - like bark like a dog, or wake when I snap my fingers. In reallity the subject is just playing along. They may not even realize it because the idea is they are under hypnosis and thus they are under the control of the hypnotist - the power of suggestion.

If you were really interested in hypnotism I would see a specialist. The danger is that you might misinterpret ques or things from your sub-concsious may tell you something is real when its really not.
