What Would Lilith Do?

I love the painting above so if anyone wants to be a dear and pay a visit to my amazon wishlist and buy it for me, it would truly be appreciated 
Since no one could really offer me any interpretations, apart from Robin, on my freaky elephant dream I had a couple weeks ago, I’m back with another freaky sex dream.
I had this one a couple years ago actually, but I’ve never quite understood what it meant and its stuck in my mind because of how strange it was.
A couple years ago I started researching Lilith. For those of you who don’t know, according to a lot of ancient Middle Eastern mythology Lilith was Adam’s first wife before Eve. They were both created from the Earth and therefore equal. But Lilith was very strong willed and wanted to be on top during sex and Adam said no, so long story short she told him to go fuck himself, went to live by the Red Sea and had hot demon sex for the rest of eternity.
Anyways, I decided to ask Lilith for a dream for guidance. So I made Her a necklace, a very pretty one with glass beads and shells and took it to the ocean and left it as an offering to Her.
That night I dreamt I was an assassin and I had a photo of a young, blonde teenage girl I was supposed to kill. So I was in a building and looking through all of the rooms and I find “her”. She was sitting on a couch. I pull out a syringe with green poison in it and stick her with it. As “she” is dying I look down and I see a hard on. He was actually a young pretty boy pretending to be a girl, not sure why. I felt bad for killing him, so I started riding him while he was dying.
Now, kind of weird timing after asking Lilith for a dream and thats what I have, eh?
Anybody have any idea what that could mean?

Wow, Sequoia, that is pretty heavy stuff.
Lilith was one of the first Goddesses that I became obsessed over. She is the OG punkrocker who discovered the secret name of God and won her freedom from paradise. Her freedom was worth more than paradise to her, her autonomy was the most sacred thing. She paid heavily for her freedom, however. God sent his angels to kill 100000 of her children per day until she returned to Adam. She still refused. She vowed to take God’s children as revenge, that’s why infant crib death used to be blamed on her. They also blamed young men’s wet dreams on her, saying that she was fucking them to make more demons and that’s why they came in their sleep.
It’s funny because just before reading this I was telling my mother how I thought Lilith was actually an incarnation of Isis, who became all powerful by discovering the secret name of Ra. When she had this power, she was able to have sex with her murdered husband and get pregnant. She gave birth to Horace, who then avenged his father’s death.
Lilith and Isis are all about the incarnation of Goddess as She who has power over death - which is completely equated with sex. It is the gateway between death and rebirth (well it can be, sometimes it’s just getting off, right?) The sumerian Goddess Inanna, who is often equated with Ishtar, becomes the master of sexual pleasure only after she decends to the underworld, is killed by her own sister, rots for 3 days and then is resurrected.
My take on your dream:
Invoking Lilith in your life gives you great potential for incredible power, however, that power can come at a high cost. Lilith will place obstacles in your life that you will have to overcome in order to really see what your made of. When these obstacles come, invoke Lilith and trust your own power - meaning don’t let anybody make the decisions for you. Trust that you have the power and wisdom to rule yourself, as many will try to rule you. When you need answers, go directly to the source (nature) as you have the power to communicate directly with Her.
I’m sure you understand how powerful sexuality, and particularly yours, is. And it’s not just the ability to create desire in others but the ability to heal. Sex work is without any doubt priestessing on an extremely high level. Right now it is degraded by society but I imagine sacred temples with priestesses like you, where one could go to receive sexual healing, or simply to have a wonderful first experience, or be trained in the sexual arts. I imagine these priestesses being highly regarded in society, and given the utmost gratitude. For it is a form of unconditional love and expression of fertility that provides all life. Pleasure is the utmost form of worship to the Goddess and is therefore sacred.
Okay. Let me get back to your dream. The “poison” is green. What does that mean to you? To me, green is the color of life and of the heart chakra. The young blonde girl is a part of you that you are ready to leave behind. Inanna is initiated through death by her sister self, as are you. Of course you feel compassion towards yourself. You mount your dying self who has a phallus. This reminds me of the Isis story that I reiterated above. Out of this death is coming new life. You are pregnant with that something, that something is you.
I swear I am not trying to warp your brain. In short, you invoked Lilith into your life and she accepted your offering. You were initiated. Now, your life will be influenced and guided by Her. This won’t be easy, but you have the power to handle it. Lilith will not let you give your power away.
I hope this helps!
