Any theories as to what these dreams are? Any thoughts?
Okay, this is bizarre. 26/f. And this will be long. I'm just curious as to what people make of all this.
I've had kind of a spiritual/intellectual crush on Loki the Norse trickster god since before the lovely Mr. Hiddleston embodied him. Loki has been a part of my life for a very long time. I was raised Jewish... which never really sat right with me.
For months now, Loki has been in my dreams so frequently it's become strange when I do not see him in my sleep. Not to mention, I am notorious among my friends as an insomniac plagued by nightly nightmares (which caused a sleep-phobia to develop). Ever since Loki has begun to appear in my sleep, the nightmares have stopped. Completely stopped. And now I look forward to closing my eyes.
There's continuity in the dreams. We speak, we kiss, we hug, it started with a dance; we reference other dreams/experiences we've had together, and... given the nature of our relationship and, er, relations, I've ruled out that he is simply a guardian. Sorry if this is TMI, but I also haven't had sex dreams involving anyone else since him...
When I was little, I used to have dreams about a massive wolf from whom I always ran. This was from before I knew about the myths. More recently, we were strolling through an autumn colored forest, (in a dream) he stopped walking, and I was face to face with the wolf from my nightmares. This time instead of running from the wolf I knelt and bowed my head to him until he started nosing me to be petted. And it occurred to me that if Fenrir wanted to catch me before, he could have. He wasn't chasing me, he was following me. HE feels like a guardian. He's appeared and led me to Loki more than once in my sleep.
I had a dream about a massive blue snake whose single eye was bigger than my body, but I wasn't afraid of him. Loki was nearby. I also believe I've met Hel, who was not kind at all. She actually scared the hell out of me (ha, I accidentally a pun), but she did nothing to hurt me. Loki was just out of my line of vision, and I don't think he would've let her hurt me. So it would appear I've met the Big Three kids - not Sleipnir though.
I couldn't even begin to describe to you how much intimacy there is between my dream self and Loki. These dreams are so vivid I know what he smells like; tastes like, sounds like, feels like... sometimes I have trouble figuring out whether I'm awake or asleep, even if he's there. I heal; he's taught me tricks in my dreams that WORK in real life, and every time we play with my "abilities" I wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck. Personality-wise, we balance each other out extremely well, and he's always a comforting presence. Playful, but comforting.
I'm not even sure what I'm asking.
Spiritual people, any thoughts? If a girl wanted to pay homage to Loki in a neo-pagan type of way, how might she do that exactly...?
Thanks to anyone who has anything to say!

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
When we are dreaming, its usually our subconscious mind with all our feelings and emotions that is at the surface and of course our conscious mind is restig, unaware of what is going on. So perhaps there is a need in your subconscious, which I also consider our inner child, that needs to be experienced or things that need to be totally worked out which for some reason can't be as well, in the awake world. I do believe in spirit guides, personal angels and spirits of those I've known in past lives that came to me at a time I was going through something tough alone before i met my 2nd husband. I had extensive conversation though with such entities while totally awake and not asleep, not able to see them but sense and feel their presence and touch and get encouragement in conversation. It sounds crazy to most, but there is so much we don't know about the realm beyond what we can see in our dimension, our reality, who knows what is possible in the spiritual plane. I do believe we also have a creator who is very much interested in our spiritual growth and will use whatever venue works with us for where our minds are at , at the time, what we can best relate to. God has used interesting things to teach me something, talking in a style of speech using examples and experiences I could relate to at the time, and once I made a spiritual leap, how I got contact and what type from the spiritual realm changed too to meet me at where I just evolved to in my beliefs.
As long as you feel it is profitable to you and what you experience and are learning is of no harm to yourself and will not cause you to harm any others inadvertantly, then there shouldn't be any concern. As far as paying homage to, I advise caution. Paying homage to me means the same as what the dictionary says, worship, paying tribute to, placing on a pedestal, etc.... Even in a relationship with a live man, there is something wrong and out of balance when we begin to pay homage to someone in a relationship. Usually it means giving away your own power and making the other greater than yourself in your eyes. ITs not a healthy way to relate. Did you ever worship and bow down to your parents? Likely not. The strongest thing we might feel is best described as deep love and wanting to show that love in the best way possible, by emulating them, that is the greatest honor a parent could get. Christians talk of fearing God and worshiping him. God does not have a problem with who he/she is. We can call God any name we want. God is not offended if he/she as the infinate, eternal and absolute is not recognized by a soul and one of his/her creations, spiritual beings that are God like are recognized instead...beings made also in Gods' image (like us) and being endowed with certain powers as are the angels. There are many such entities that may be what a human had the opportunity to experience in history in such a way that humans named them or they gave us their names, and we wrote stories about them. Since you speak of Gods of Norse mythology, perhaps in a past life you lived as a Norse person so your soul responds best to Gods who come to you looking like that. There is also Greek mythology and the fairy tales of so many different countries that all talk of creature most of us cant see, but like angels, just because we cant see or experience them doesnt mean they don't exist. In the spiritual realm, the fallen angels still roam on earth looking to mislead innocent souls. If such a creature was posing as a God or a good angel or spirit guide, etc... and required you to pay homage and bow down to him/her, then this is not a creature to associate with any longer. If your Loki ever slowly redirects you to doing things that don't seem right in your gut instinct, seems negative in any way, then stop it right there and you may need to call on your guardian angel to come manifest instead in your dreams to keep any such entity from messing with you again. If this is a good entity, working with you for your personal and spiritual growth in this life, then the biggest compliment you can do is to copy they positive traits and learn and do as they do.
