I am the figure who wakes in darkness. In my image, someone sits up in bed, face in hands, nine swords hanging on the wall behind them. The blanket shows roses and astrological symbols - beauty and fate - but the figure sees only darkness. This is the 3am mind, the worry that won't let you sleep, the nightmare that feels more real than morning.
I speak with the voice of the midnight mind. I am about anxiety, nightmares, mental anguish - the suffering that happens mostly in our heads. When I appear, I acknowledge that this pain is real, even if the fears aren't. The swords are on the wall, not in your body. The night will end. But right now, yes, it hurts. I do not dismiss your anguish.
**Themes:** Anxiety, nightmares, despair, worry, mental anguish, guilt, fear, sleeplessness, inner torment.

Themes: Recovery from anxiety, hope, facing fears, dawn approaching, or: deep depression, refusing help, prolonged anguish.
I speak of the night ending or the anguish being faced. Either dawn approaches and the fears look smaller, or you're finally confronting what haunts you. My reversed message asks: is the worst truly over? Or are you ready to face what wakes you?
**Themes:** Recovery from anxiety, hope, facing fears, dawn approaching, or: deep depression, refusing help, prolonged anguish.
