I saw Shango in a dream, help!

Sorry for putting this here, I didn't see any active Ifa groups in the search. I am African American and yesterday morning I dreamt of a black man and woman coming to me like an introduction. Though they didn't appear to speak, I heard and saw what they meant. The name Shango kept popping in my brain, I literally was looking at the man and thinking "That's Shango!"

The woman even 'told' me that accepting them and embracing them doesn't mean I forget my old parents and family. I have never dreamt of anything like this.

Also, as a side note; I have always had vibrant, elaborate dreams. I've seen everything from a murder to my own murder in my dreams. I've remembered other dreams inside my dreams. Once I even remembered a dream that I'd consciously forgotten about. I've learned to always note certain things and take my dreams seriously.

But this is my first time ever seeing a deity, especially an Orisha. Am I allowed to serve Shango? Can anyone help me get clarity on this?

Thanks!

I saw Shango in my dream, I have questions

Snack Haul

Don't mind the mess in the background, my roommates can't figure out how to clean up behind themselves and I'm not cleaning up after them anymore because they're both older than me and know better. I've never tried Alani Nu and I've seen it on here so I wanted to test it out. I'm pretty hype about my snacks cause it's all my favorite stuff.

Pizza rolls with ranch chip dip

I'm barely awake (medication) but I needed to eat something before I went back to bed. This is the only food I've eaten today.

Small possible haunting Experience.

Alrighty so first things first, I live in a group home. Specifically I share a two bed room with a roommate, or I did until my last roommate committed suicide on October 15 of last year. This group home is specifically for people with mental illnesses that are disabling. I was the one who found her body. I'm pretty sure what I'd thought at the time was snoring, was actually her death rattle. She died in our room, less than ten feet away from me.

​

Not to mention, there was a mirror (still there) across from her bed.

​

She's visited me in my dreams a few times, each time I'm actually aware that she's dead in my dreams. I remember once I legit told her to her face that she died, but she'd just waved me off and went on about her dream business.

​

Anyways to the weird, possibly haunting experience I had a few days ago.

​

I sleep usually till late morning and often times I wake up and kinda just lay there until I fall back asleep. Thursday morning was no different, and I know I'd woken up because I heard the cleaning company the group home owner hires to clean every other week. I also heard the group home owner's voice so I know she was here. My fan was on, my iPad was playing cyberpunk lore in the background, and I was just laying there waiting to go back to sleep.

​

And then I heard what sounded like someone rubbing there hand over the bare sheet on the other bed. Rub your hand against your bedsheet and you'll know that that sound is very, very specific. I know I heard it cause I froze and waited to see if I'd hear it again, which I did. My back was to the room, I was facing the wall so I don't know what was making that sound.

​

I sleep alone in this room, and the two older women (70+) don't come into the room because it's against the home rules. They always knock. I texted the group home manager to ask if she came in, in case she just stepped into the room to straighten up the bed. Nope, she didn't come in.

​

I attached a screenshot of the text I sent the home manager. This has never happened before, and there's no way for that very specific sound to be made in a room with only me in it. Especially not from the empty bed.

​

What do you guys think? It wouldn't be the first thing I've experienced in the paranormal side of things, but it is the hardest to explain for me.

Period Cravings Won Out

This is the only thing I'm eating today so I think it's fine. Super thinly sliced hard salami with a thin smear of whipped cream cheese then rolled up. Handful of regular crinkle potato chips. My cravings are always for salty, crunchy things so I couldn't resist.

​

My body is practically working itself out so I think it's all fine.

I think I finally ended up in Mall World.

Hi, this is my first time in this sub. I heard of mall world months ago but I was sure I'd never been to it or anything like it. Well, last night I fell asleep to one of those binaural beats and after a brief scary dream (wouldn't call it a nightmare) I found myself running through a mall that would literally shift and change itself depending on what doorways you ran through. I even had someone telling me about which restaurants would open and when, like I pointed out a Mexican restaurant and the guy goes "Oh yeah that's real, it's just not open right now."

Also, there was security who would patrol. I got caught running past one and he yanked me up and made me get on what I can only describe as an increasingly dangerous amusement park ride. When I finally got off, he told me not to get caught running again and pointed me back into the Mall. It was wicked strange.

Mind you, I always had vivid dreams and I can remember quite a lot of them but this is the very first time I've had a mall like experience, with everything from clothing stores to restaurants like chipotle and the Mexican restaurant, to accessory stores. It felt insane. But there were some dark hallways that nobody seemed to wander into. My guess is that those parts of the mall were closed? I'm not sure but it didn't have a great vibe. Anyways, thanks for reading my experience. Have a great day!

Shader scene not showing up

So I installed the Appalachian mod pack by smittieking and I installed both iris and proton shaders manually into the curseforge mod pack file but yet when I go to try and activate the shaders, the screen is just the regular video setting screen. What am I doing wrong? Iris is in the mods folder, proton is in the shaders folder. Idk what else to do. Attached is a image of the video settings screen so there's no misunderstanding the issue. I've been trying to get it to work for days now.

Has anyone else actually been able to remember other dreams when they're dreaming? Like, it always just feels like a regular memory when I'm dreaming, but then I wake up and I remember both dreams. Even when I don't remember the dream irl, when I remember it in my dreams it's like it joggs my memory. Also, do you guys wake up and even if you don't remember the dream, you remember the emotional vibe of the dream? Like last night I had a dream that felt positive, like love. Other times I wake up with a racing heart and a heavily negative vibe. Most of my dreams are extremely vivid and I can remember a lot of them, I'm not sure if it's normal though.
