- Mixed affect is common. Relief plus fear often marks growth under pressure, not pure danger.
- Repeat dreams cluster around active weeks. One journal line on waking stress beats searching for a fixed omen.

- Stranger black cat ≠ random. Often a disowned trait or social type you are negotiating—name the trait before guessing a person.
