Hermes of the Ways
“I, Hermes, stand here at the cross-roads by the wind-beaten orchard, near the hoary-grey coast;
And I keep a resting-place for weary men. And the cool stainless spring gushes out.”
Anyte of Tegea, 3rd Century BC

This is the first time I have ever felt the need to truly record my dream but it was uncanny.
Yesterday, I did not get a call back from a job I interviewed for. That should have meant I did not get the job, as it was the latest I was meant to hear from them. I do not have the BA they want, I am lacking the ‘preferred’ quality of bilingual English/Chinese. But I have work experience. Yesterday, I also reached out to someone on Twitter who I thought did not ever want to see me again, but still I sent a follow request and a PM, because I miss our friendship.
Last night, I dreamed we reconnected, and I dreamed I got the job. It was surrounded in my usual medication-induced bizarre dream nonsense, with a giant sized cafeteria and cats the size of lizards, but still!
This morning, she accepted my follow request, followed me back, responded to my PM. I called the company, and the reason they didn’t call is because someone broke a bone yesterday by falling! I got the job!
It could be nothing. This is not something I have experience with. But I was wearing a charm for days straight, burning a sigil marked and herb infused candle for days, and praying to Hermes. One time is interesting. Two times will make it coincidence. Three times will mark a pattern. I’m at one weird dream guessing the coming day’s events.
