🌑 A Day in the Life of The Dream Drowner

The Dream Drowner Oracle Card

I awaken already exhausted, my sleep filled not with rest but with storms. Dreams crash over me like floods, drowning me in symbols I cannot understand. Instead of harvesting wisdom, I sink beneath waves of fear and confusion.

At dawn, I feel heavy-eyed, my body dragging with the weight of visions that never resolve. The caves echo with chaotic voices, the springs overflow, carrying debris instead of clarity. I am submerged in memory, but it is too much to hold.

Throughout the day, I drift between waking and dreaming, never fully grounded. Nightmares spill into daylight, clouding perception, distorting choices. Instead of guidance, my dreams overwhelm, leaving me restless and afraid.

At night, I descend again into the dream caves, but instead of glowing archives, I find shadowed waters. I sink deeper, unable to rise, carried by currents that pull me further into the dark. I am the shadow of the Dream Harvester — not a gatherer of wisdom, but a vessel drowned in it.
