Ah, and btw, I`m greek :->
Then maybe it's iota-chi-iota - after all, you didn't provide a rendering of the letters you saw on your dream-hand, so we don't know exactly what it looked like. "Runes" are the first thing anyone think of when they see strange letters, particularly if they are crudely formed. (Why not cuneiform? I wonder.) The form of the rune isa does not exactly resemble the uppercase I (with the crossbars at top and bottom, as opposed to simply | [which itself may not render the same for your screen as mine*]), for example.
(*On my keyboard, | is a broken vertical line, but on-screen there is no break in the line. Go figure.)
I don't want to get into the whole controversy of whether one ought to work (or whether one's subconscious works) in a tradition to which they are "genetically" oriented, but many claim that this is the direction to search (particularly when dealing with issues of the individual or collective subconscious). If you are certain they were runes, then they were runes. But if there's any doubt, then perhaps you might turn to your "genetic memory" and look to the Greek tradition for answers.
The Greek alphabet used both upper- and lower-case letters, so if the dream-letters took the form 'IXI' (as opposed to |X|), then maybe what you're looking at is uppercase Greek (or even the Latin alphabet) and not runes.
Theoretical suggestion: Greek letters had numerical equivalents for Pythagoras (I=9 and X=6, so I+X+I = 9+6+9 = 24, and 2+4=6, therefore IXI=6). Pythagoreans had an elaborate system of divination and meditation associated with numbers and mathematics, similar to gematria or cabala. I've yet to delve deeply into Pythagorean mysticism; given the age of the tradition, there is not a great deal of extant literature on the subject (and much of it is generally unreliable for practical magical application).
Suggestion for magical experimentation: Get a blue BIC pen. Write the letters as you saw them on your left hand. See what happens. Further: adopt it as your personal sigil for a while.
The background is that I've being whining to the Gods of how I worked my ass off and not received what my bloated ego thought I should have received as a gift and reward.
"Ice gives ice." Ice begets ice. You reap what you sow. Maybe your tired, overworked and underpaid brain is telling you, "What didja expect?" Working for others often does not result in the rewards we think we deserve. By working for others, we surrender to their judgments of our performance and their generosity (or lack thereof) when it comes to rewards.
Geba can also mean "union," and isa can mean "standstill," which seems to indicate your opportunity for growth with your present employer may be frozen, your gifts trapped between two walls of ice. (You're not Pisces by any chance?) Considering your other dreams were about progress or impediment, this may well be your strongest lead toward interpretation.
Then there's bindrunes, which are a whole 'nother can of worms. If it was a bindrune, then using it as a sigil will result in likely extraordinary change. Get yourself a coin-sized slice of ash, hawthorn or rowan branch, burn those runes into it, and keep it with you at all times. (It may be interesting to note that if you connected those runes à la bindrune form into one sigil it would resemble the rune othila which refers to "inheritance," another form of reward.) |
