This dream was about

I can’t remember too much about how the dream started, but I was in a child’s body. It seemed like this child was native or definitely not from America. He was being put into a very stressful situation and was being forced to leave his home, but I was this kid. I was with the kids family and we were all running away. We got to these clear blue crystal clear waters that were beautiful but we were warned by a man near by that these waters are dangerous and we must pay a fee before entering and enslave ourselves to him. I remember just not caring, I was like, what’s the worst that can happen? The water looks fine! I dive right into the water and I can even see clearly in it. I stand up and do worry about alligators or snakes in the water but I don’t see any still so I continue. There’s a jungle around us and palm trees, we are definitely somewhere very tropical. Beautiful weather. But as I walk through the shallow waters the sand underneath is hurting my feet but I keep pushing through. At this point I’m not sure where the family went, but I end up in a dark and abandoned castle. I’m stuck in behind some bars in some sort of jail cell but in the castle, some man then comes in and is threatening me and this other girl there and some of my sisters saying we will never escape. We do end up escaping and I turn back into my normal self. The castle ends up being my moms and my stepdads but it’s strange because it’s dark and unkept which is nothing like them. They then tell me they are off to run errands and I say okay. I go to “my room” but there’s barely any light coming in and again… it just looks abandoned- I start thinking this can’t be my room can it?? I look out the window and I see the glorious weather and the crystal blue waters. I then have the urge to go to the bathroom. As I step into the bathroom and use the toilet I start thinking to myself that “wow I’m taking a very long time to pee” when I look down beside me to the right, there is a pile of dark towels… for some reason I relate the dark pile of towels to being someone I knew in middle school and the pile of towels starts to move!! I then go “Alan is that you?” So I hurry up and finish up in the bathroom and the pile stands up and morphs into Alan. He then takes off his hoodie and he says “yes it’s me” and he starts towering over me demanding sexual pleasure. I start to panic and hyperventilate…. It feels very real. I then find my voice and I start yelling at him and I tell him to back off!! Leave me ALONE!!!! And he listens. Before I could see his reaction I run out of the bathroom and into my room. I’m still very uneasy at this point and I lock my bedroom door. He tried to get in. But then I notice that I didn’t really lock the door and there’s clothing, and random things on the door blocking it. I keep thinking I have to move this stuff quick and then lock the door before he gets in. The door isn’t really strong anyways but I finally make a clear pathway and lock it. I start wondering around the room and observing how dark and messy it is. I then find a hallway attached to the other side of my room and I walk out and I see him standing there. I am frightened again I run back into the room and lock any other doors I see attached to my room. I realize there’s 3 doors total and I lock all of them. I hear my mom and the rest of my family come back home and I warn them someone is here that is unwanted. Then I wake up.

Hello Yasmine, The dream where you find yourself inhabiting a child's body in a foreign and dangerous environment could be reflecting feelings of vulnerability or displacement in your waking life. The transition from the child to your adult self, along with the escape from captivity, may signify a personal transformation or a desire to break free from constraints that you feel are holding you back. The presence of your family, both in the escape and at the castle, indicates that these feelings might be connected to your home life or personal relationships. The dark and abandoned state of the castle, representing your mom and stepdad’s home, could point to underlying concerns about family dynamics or the stability of your home environment. The confrontation with Alan from your past and the ensuing panic attack might suggest unresolved issues or anxieties related to boundaries and personal safety. Your assertiveness in the dream, however, shows a strong sense of self-advocacy and the capacity to protect yourself from unwanted advances. Your previous dreams often involve themes of being watched or pursued, which can be tied to feelings of anxiety or a fear of losing privacy. This recurring theme, along with the familiar settings and people, suggests that recent experiences or long-standing concerns about personal security and autonomy are manifesting in your dreams. It’s important to consider these patterns as they may be reflecting deeper emotions or conflicts that are present in your daily life.
