Dream Of Distorted Animal Crossing And Unknown Caller
Analyze my dream

This dream was about

So I can was at Keira’s dads house. Either that or I was at my old house. I had the Nintendo switch connected to the tv and I had bought and downloaded Among Us for it. After it had downloaded, it appeared that I had two Animal Crossings on my switch and no Among Us. One was my normal Animal Crossing, but one was Animal Crossing with the image slightly distorted, and in the dream it felt very scary. As you do, I clicked on the game and loaded it up. It started flashing black, white and red distorted videos of the game, as if it was Among Us, but real life crewmates murdering each other. I couldn’t interact with it, not even close the app. Keira, my friend, and her dad and brother and stepmum were all sat with me. They all flinched and looked away, terrified. I started crying. It was horrible. Like one of those fake anti-piracy screens. It was making the sounds from Among Us when the imposter kills you, but instead of an animation, it showed someone actually stabbing someone through their head with a knife. And there were horrible screams. I was trying to frantically turn it off, and I couldn’t. I couldn’t at all close the app. It kept playing the black and red flashing murder, Carter (Keira’s stepbrother) started crying and hugged his mum and looked away. Carter isnt one to cry. I was telling everyone I was sorry over and over again, and when I finally got to the Home Screen, the text above the game was red. It showed “Animal Crossing” in red, with some typos and flickering from black to red. I had left it like that for a second and asked if everyone was okay. I had said for them all not to go to sleep or it would have a horrible affect on their dreams. So they went to the kitchen. I had taken the switch out of the dock and turned it off and went to sleep. The next day, I went to my friend, Zack’s house. I don’t know what it actually looks like, so my brain had imagined it as my boyfriend, Lucas’ room. I had the switch with me and was telling Zack a bit about what happened. He was trying to cheer me up and change the subject, and we were laughing about something when my phone started ringing. It was an unknown caller. I had pressed the red button, but the green button had smudged into red, and it answered the call. It was a woman. She told me what to do and how to get rid of this, and to stop it from spreading. She told me to disconnect from WiFi and forget any connections in my settings. So, I did. She told me what steps I needed to follow in order to get rid of it. However, in my dream, she seemed scary and untrustworthy, almost as if she wasn’t on my side. She had helped me to get rid of the terrible distorted version I had of Among Us. She told me what had happened, that it was a temporary glitch in the Nintendo E-Shop, and it was caused by files of Animal Crossing and Among Us becoming corrupted and assigned the new update together, to become one horrible and blood curdling piece of malware. She told me more about it and that 8 people have had this experience, and that I was the first to download it after the update. Zack looked terrified as the Nintendo Switch theme had turned red and the colours had then inverted. I told him it was okay and that it would all be okay and sorted out eventually. She told me the steps, which I followed. Eventually, I had got rid of the malware. Everything was better. She said she’d pass it on further and remove it from the E-Shop and get it fixed. She said for me not to download anything from the E-Shop just in case of this happening again. When I got home from Zack’s a few hours later, I was messaging him on my laptop. The terrifying thing is, there were red blotches and smudged dots next to every message I sent.

Sophie, your dream is rich with symbolism and reflects a complex interplay of emotions, fears, and experiences. The setting of Keira's dad's house, or perhaps your old house, indicates a connection to your past and the comfort or discomfort that comes with it. It suggests that you are navigating familiar spaces in your life, yet you are confronted with unsettling feelings, much like the distorted images in your dream. The presence of the Nintendo Switch and the game Among Us signifies the importance of play and social interaction in your life. However, the distortion of the game into something nightmarish reveals underlying anxieties. The contrasting images of Animal Crossing—one familiar and comforting, the other distorted and scary—suggest a tension between your need for safety and your fears of chaos. This dream seems to indicate a fear of losing control, especially in social contexts, where you might feel pressure to perform or maintain a facade of happiness. As the dream progresses, the horror of the distorted images and the violent scenes plays into a deeper fear of the unknown and the uncontrollable, which can manifest in various aspects of your life. Your friends' reactions in the dream showcase your empathy, as you feel the weight of their fear and distress, leading you to apologize repeatedly. This reflects a strong sense of responsibility for the feelings of those around you and might indicate a fear of being the cause of discomfort or pain for others. The unknown caller who provides guidance presents an interesting juxtaposition. While she seems to offer a solution, her untrustworthiness adds to your anxiety. This could symbolize a fear of authority figures or external help, showing that while you seek guidance, you also struggle with trusting it. The detailed steps to resolve the issue can represent your desire for clarity and control amidst chaos, and the fact that you were the first to download the game after the update may symbolize feelings of being singled out or targeted by circumstances beyond your control. Finally, the red blotches next to your messages as you communicate with Zack might signify lingering feelings of anxiety or fear that seep into your daily life, suggesting that the emotional turmoil from your dream is not easily shaken off. It highlights the importance of processing these feelings and recognizing how they affect your interactions with others. Ultimately, Sophie, this dream may be urging you to confront your fears, seek clarity in your relationships, and understand that unsettling experiences can lead to personal growth.
