Our sleeping dreams are taken in the 4th house/IC Our waking dreams are taken in Neptune/12th house.
Since childhood, your lunar house has been recording the story of your life and has seen and remembers everything in their embryonic nonverbal symbolic, visual, emotive, psychic forms. Dreams can have generational themes, we entered life in a dream as our first state of being within our mother, and remaining as part of her consciousness for the earliest part of life. crescent Moon on top of Mercury’s glyph is the intertwining of the conscious mind and the subconscious of early lunar conditioning coming together, the Moon’s cycles are also the circles of birth, life, and death, the first and latest years of life are spent mostly asleep. We dream of being many different ages in various stages of life, and the Moon's inner child often replays significant memories of places and people from this time in our dreams. Sleeping takes us back to that very vulnerable and pure state. We come into this world alone, leave it alone, and dream alone. The Moon watches over us each hour of the night as it passes through each house in our horoscope. This may be why some people tend to wake up at the same time each night as the Moon crosses a trigger or alert point. Neptune is eternally asleep in us and invites us to join the dream while we are awake. Neptune is the shadow of Mercury so the mind’s cognition and consciousness is weak but the Mind’s Eye open-wide for us to look into and escape back into our fantasy life or imaginary ideal,Neptune transports us into trance-states, hypnosis, fugue, and sedation. The world’s greatest art, design, beauty, song, sculpture, poetry, motion capture, scripts, theatre productions are inspired and nourished by Neptune Mind’s-eye, as the emblem of the ocean Neptune is our collective unconscious, so Neptune also gives us the ability to remember, symbolically, or creatively interpret our dreams, gain the ability to lucid dream or revisit them in waking life, to paint form into this unformed lunar images. A potent Neptune presence in the chart is also an indication of vivid, intense, and prophetic dreaming experiences. Neptune is always calling us back to sleep, away from the heaviness of life we pass Neptune on the way down, waiting on the borderline in the only place that it makes sense.Levitating in that mystical, magical, meditative, floating, foggy, distorted, dissociated, druggy, delirious state of being, the one that Pisces and the 12th house is closest with Cherry
