Photographs are an integral part of our daily lives. This is a reliable and easy way to capture important life events, to share them and keep them as a keepsake for yourself, relatives and children.
From an esoteric point of view, photographs play an equally important role. The image of a person contains a large amount of information about him. Some experts in the field of esotericism can tell from a photo about the nature of a person, his fate, past and future. Often it is photography that is used to direct damage, the evil eye, love spell and lapel, healing from the disease, getting rid of addictions and much more. It happens that only a photograph and a personal thing help sorcerers and magicians to find a missing person, or at least report whether he is alive.
That is why a large number of signs and superstitions are associated with photographs. One of them is a ban on taking pictures of sleeping people. Of course, a sleeping person is rarely photographed on purpose, more often this happens by chance. However, you must clearly understand why you can not take pictures in a dream.
The ban on esoterics
This sign has arisen for a reason. Esotericists believe that in a dream the soul leaves the human body, the biofield becomes very vulnerable, the person’s energy protection is significantly weakened. There is a superstition that a guardian angel can leave a person forever at the time the picture is taken.
A weakened energy field cannot provide full protection for a person. Enemies and enemies can take advantage of this. It will be easy for a person to have a negative impact, to harm.
In addition, esotericists believe that the energy of a sleeping person is very similar to that inherent in the dead. Man does not exist in the usual sense for us. Therefore, a picture taken during sleep can fix the imprint of dead energy on a person. There is a high probability of a serious, protracted illness or even death. Esotericists never allow themselves to be photographed asleep, they themselves do not do this with others.
By the way, in Islam, the image of man and any living creature is not welcome. This is due to the fact that a person does not have the right to create, as the Most High, one cannot create idols for himself. Muslims believe that if you take a photo of a sleeping person, this way he will be shown his death - this is very dangerous.
It is also worth thinking about an aesthetic point of view. Not always a sleeping person looks attractive. Why upset loved ones with an ugly picture?
Signs and superstitions
There are several beliefs that the process of photographing a sleeping person has certain consequences. The main sign is the loss of the guardian angel, which has a very negative effect on human life.
However, there are several more superstitions that have been developed by many generations of our ancestors:
- Spouses should not photograph each other in a dream. This can lead to quarrels, quarrels in the family, and subsequently even to divorce.
- Have you been photographed in a dream by a best friend? In the future, she may destroy your family. At the same time, the fact of taking the picture serves as a warning so that you take measures, take a closer look at your friend and her interest in your husband. It can also be done intentionally in order to weaken energy protection, to take away her husband on purpose.
- A husband or a regular partner, photographing a beloved in a dream, can inadvertently deprive her of beauty.
- If a person is sick, and he was photographed asleep, the recovery process will be very long.
Also, many believe that a photo taken in a dream deprives the sleeping person of the opportunity to get a good night's sleep, lethargy, apathy can be felt after sleep, and lack of vigor can be felt. Still in this way you can induce insomnia on a person.
Creepy traditions of the past
Before the first cameras appeared, images of people were created by sculptors and artists. Only wealthy people could afford a single or family portrait. However, the poor could also invite the artist, however, only in sad circumstances - the death of a relative. The family of the deceased had the opportunity to capture the deceased in the picture for free in order to preserve the memory of him.
Later, with the advent of cameras, this tradition turned into a more terrible option - the deceased relatives were filmed with the living. The dead were prepared, made up, dressed and not just photographed, but seated with the living. At times it was difficult to understand from the photograph who is dead, everything looked really plausible. Sometimes, before taking a photo, the artist painted the eyes of the deceased eyelids with the deceased so that they looked alive.
In the early nineteenth century, the tradition of photographing living family members along with the dead became very popular. In this regard, the association was firmly strengthened - eyes closed on photographs, a sign of the deceased.
Thank God, this terrible tradition has outlived itself, but for many, the desire to take photos in a dream simply did not appear due to rather unpleasant associations.
Ban on photographs of sleeping children
Everything related to children and their well-being is most important. Children are the most precious and valuable thing in our life. Therefore, do not neglect the opinion of experts about photographs of sleeping children.
Of course, a peacefully sleeping child, especially in infancy and early age, causes tenderness and the kindest feelings not only among parents, but also among others. Sometimes one wants to capture this moment, to preserve the memory of it.
Believers know that it is forbidden to show photographs of children to outsiders before the baptismal ceremony.
The baby does not yet have a guardian angel, it is vulnerable, especially in a dream.
Surely, on the Internet you had to see photos of young children with retouched faces or overlaid pictures. Superstitious people are afraid of the evil eye and corruption, they do not want to endanger their children.
In addition, during the creation of the picture, the child may wake up and get scared. Especially if a flash is used. Fright and baby's tears are not worth the pictures taken.
Neutralization of omens
What should I do if a snapshot of a sleeping person is taken, and you are scared for his fate? First, remember, all our thoughts and words are material. Do not immediately think about the bad, set yourself up for sad events.
For your own peace of mind and the safety of loved ones, you can neutralize the bad signs associated with pictures of a sleeping person.
It is necessary to remove the pictures in a secluded place so that strangers do not see them. If your family members look at the photo, nothing bad will happen.
There are several simple rituals that neutralize the negative effect. If you took a picture of a sleeping child, or he accidentally fell into the frame, you can do the following.
Spit out three times over your left shoulder and say out loud:
“Lord, save my baby’s soul from evil eye and damage. Drive away all illnesses and bad luck from it. Amen!”
Then take any small mirror and place it under the mattress or pillow with the reflecting side up. All negative directed at the baby will be reflected from him. After the baby wakes up, wash his face with holy water.
If you have taken a photograph of an adult, wait until he wakes up. Then calmly explain to him the essence of your fears, overshadow his forehead and cheeks with the sign of the Cross.
Take a red woolen thread, tie a person on the left wrist, saying special words:
“I tie a thread, but I untie all the illnesses. Do not marry a single ailment to the servant of God (name). Yes, leave all the sorrow and longing from his heart, and take away evil thoughts from your head”
Even if you are not superstitious, do not believe in signs, do not tempt fate.
A photograph of a sleeping person does not carry such value as, for example, a joint photo, a snapshot of an important moment in life when a person is happy or laughing. It will be more interesting for a grown child to see himself playing with parents or other children, rather than sleeping in a crib. In any case, it is important to keep a memory of positive moments and events in life, photographs help us with this.
