Ghosts Hovering In Your Dreams
Nine of Swords
[Nine of Swords]
Hi {NAME}.
You arrive at walking the path of ghosts hovering in your dreams... The Nines represent the status of your relationship goals, and the Nine of Swords is called "The Nightmare Card!"
The message: "I just had a terrible nightmare and I'm wondering about the reason and significance for this particular dream! Dreams reveal our unfulfilled wishes and I'm really scared that my dream is going to come true and leave me with unfulfilled wishes!"
The Minor Arcana represents your choices and actions throughout the realization of your destiny. The Swords usually indicate a struggle or conflict, or a possible decision that you'll make about separating from your past attachments. There is a desire to find the truth that will shed light on your situation, so you'll act on it and find closure.
Astrologically the Nine of Swords is related to the zodiac air sign of Gemini (adaptable, clever, quick-witted, duel, changeable), and the planet Venus (risk taker, social, needs a union, loves adventures and new experiences).
My Interpretation of the Nine of Swords
The Nine of Swords is not a happy card because it represents deep-rooted mental pain. It is called the nightmare card because of all the regret that one feels and the impossibility of going back to repair the past. Strong regrets causes the nightmares.
The number nine represents an ending, and in the past position this card indicates there are deep issues for which you feel responsible. You cannot remedy past wrongs, but still feel sadness about them, especially if they involved close relationships (parent, friend or lover).
If the Nine of Swords comes out in the present situation, it may reflect current pain. There may be extreme stress caused by another, or a feeling of deep loss and regrets over choices that you made. This stress may be partner-related (arguing, cheating, deceit, a break-up).

Card Symbolism
The black background represents night-time and a lack of understanding. The Sword Archetype is having a bad dream or nightmare about his love life or another close relationship. Wracked by pain and great fear because the vision upset him enormously, he cradles his face in his hands.
Dreams reflect life events and express an important part of yourself. Their analysis will reward you with a greater self-understanding and perspective. The Archetype, wondering about the reason for this particular dream and its significance, is afraid that it will actually come true and leave him with unfulfilled wishes.
The gray floor represents the uncertainty the Archetype feels after having this dream. White sheets represent purification of thoughts, and the patch of pink represents love. The Nine Swords hanging on the wall represent endings.
The bed shows an orange carving of two people arguing and one person being defeated. The orange represents healing, but also a heated argument. The Archetype fears that a relationship will end after an argument!
The quilt pattern of squares (yellow = clarity, blue = thought) have red thorny roses (stinging events, passion and energy) and astrological symbols. The quilt represents the timing and arrival of a conflict. The Crescent Moon (waning phase) represents a time of sacrifices and the time to start something new that will grow and flourish.
The Swords represent the area of conflict and confusion the Archetype had with someone who was close. He is feeling disappointed, emotional, and sad and wants to be alone, knowing it will take time to come to terms with what happened and needing privacy to figure out how to face what lies ahead. The Archetype will eventually grow from the experience and learn a valuable lesson.
Positive Position: This position, although the precursor of a positive new beginning, feels like an oxymoron because it highlights an uncomfortable negative situation. You may be suffering from sleepless nights because of regrets you're feeling about something that went wrong in the past. You're still feeling the sadness from that time which may reflect your childhood and the relationship with your parents, a close friend, or a lover. This position could represents that you're waiting for your lover to be released from jail.
Negative Position: You might feel depressed. You're not ready to let go of past disappointments because the pain still lingers. You might need professional help to overcome your sadness. This position could represent that your lover is released from jail.
Timing is within 9 hours, 9 days, months, or the winter season.
With Love,
Safina
