I just wondered, what was scary about the demons dream exactly? And was "Nothing is quite as horror, as the Quarter." something that was said or written in the dream?
It was said and written. It actually was like this: "Nothing is quite as fear or horror, as the Quarter." I shortened it for the sake of trying to not make such a long run-on sentence. Also, when I had the visual of the rook and the eyeball, the word "Quarter" was next to it, with a capital Q. That's why I capitalized it.
I don't really know why it was scary, it just was. It felt like fear of the unknown. The demon was not mean to me, it seemed to mean no harm. But you had to see this face. In the earlier part of the dream, his face was on fire like a Buddhist monk. He was playing like some other people did it to him, so that I would take pity on him. But then I realized it was a ploy, and that his face was always on fire... Then fire turned green. But he looked like he was in so, so, much pain. And yet, the pain was his own doing. He couldn't let go of this fire. I got the sense it was the source of power, and pain. The whole thing just freaked me out a little bit, you know?

But they both have always enjoyed teaching. I hope you can find yourself where you want to be in that regard and hope that the crap wont't push you down too much, since you seem to really love what you do.
Thank you, I do. I just hate teaching science, because I'm not passionate about science. I'm passionate about healing children, emotionally. And working with kids with autism. When I go into classrooms as a support teacher for half the day, sometimes the lead teacher can be mean. I always feel like an incognito therapist, sneakily doing what I can to advocate and give some love to the kids.

And in reality these dreams were just an amplification of what my mind can wander towards anyway even during waking life, mostly during stressful times/situations.
I don't know, but if it were my dream, I might be looking at that dream along the angles of setting healthy boundaries. I've had that theme a lot, too.

That first dream sounds so cool. I would want to explore the museum (maybe a good dream re-entry candidate) for artifacts. Maybe something there of use? Too bad you weren't lucid.
