I was in my dad’s room.  A tyrant took over the house.  I hid until I made a plan to escape.  I snuck out the window, and stole his car.  His 16 year old daughter and we drove off.  There were a lot of trees and grass where we were driving.  She had a new face I didn’t recognize.

I was trying to get in a mall to meet some kids I had to pick up to babysit but I couldn’t get in. I was stuck in the display cases that you can see from outside. I kept trying to get into the actual mall but all the stores were shut down and I couldn’t get out of the display cases. Finally when I did get in I had snuck down the the bottom where the rootbeer sampling had been and I rode the machine thru the ride and got off there.

The narrative was somewhat disjointed, shifting from being trapped to finally sneaking into the mall.

Trapped in the Mall

The dream felt frustrating as I struggled to enter the mall while being trapped in display cases.

There was a strong sense of urgency and anxiety as I tried to escape the display cases.

The setting of the mall felt familiar, but the situation was surreal with stores being shut down.

I could clearly see the details of the display cases and the root beer sampling area, making the dream feel quite vivid.

Abi, your dream presents a rich tapestry of emotions and experiences that reflect your current mental landscape. The imagery of being unable to enter the mall, despite your intent to meet kids for babysitting, symbolizes a feeling of being trapped or restricted in your life. This could resonate with your ongoing struggles with feelings of anxiety and the weight of your past experiences, including the significant life changes you’ve faced. The mall, often seen as a place of social interaction and enjoyment, juxtaposes your feelings of isolation and helplessness. You may be yearning for connection or purpose, yet feel hindered by circumstances or your own mental barriers.

I had a dream that I was in severe pain. The right lower part of my stomach/hip area and lower right back were in extreme pain. I was pacing around just holding the area yelling in pain. My aunt who’s dead in real life came up to me and told me I had a giant fruit seed stuck inside me. Then later on I was sitting at a long wooden table with my friend Xander. We were drinking beers. I turned to him and said, why is it I’m always getting fucked up when I’m with you.

I dreamt that I read on Facebook that my friend Emma's kitten died. I distinctly read the name Solstice and was so worried for Emma because she lost her dog last year and did not handle it well. It was so real that when I woke up I had to check her profile to be sure.

Death

Dream About Kitten Death Emma Solstice

I don't remember the details other than I plucked a really large maple leaf, a beautiful red and green large leaf out of my nose, where there's no way it could have gotten in realistically, period. I knew this in my dream, period, but I also knew that I felt better.

The coherence was somewhat fragmented, with the main event being quite surreal and disjointed.

The Maple Leaf Extraction

The dream had a mildly positive emotional tone, as I felt better after extracting the leaf.

The intensity was moderate, highlighted by the surprising act of pulling a leaf from my nose.

The realism was low since a large leaf coming out of my nose is impossible.

The dream was quite vivid, especially the striking colors of the red and green leaf.

Harvey, your dream about extracting a large and colorful maple leaf from your nose is quite fascinating and layered with symbolism. The act of pulling a maple leaf from your nose, a place where it logically could not be, suggests an exploration of hidden or suppressed emotions and perhaps an unexpected realization or revelation. The nose, often associated with intuition, might indicate that you're uncovering an intuition or insight that has been buried or overlooked in your waking life.

  The choice of a maple leaf, particularly in vibrant red and green colors, adds another dimension to this dream. Maple leaves are emblematic of transformation and renewal, often linked with the autumn season, a time of change. The red and green colors could symbolize a balance between passion and growth, or perhaps an intersection between something that is energizing and something nurturing in your life. This might reflect a personal transformation you are currently experiencing or wish to embark upon.

  Moreover, the very act of plucking something beautiful from an unexpected place may indicate a desire or need to bring forth beauty and change from within yourself. It's as if your subconscious is telling you that even in the most unlikely places, there is potential for beauty and renewal. This could relate to a personal or professional aspect of your life where you feel a need to explore hidden potentials or talents.

  The relief you felt in the dream after removing the leaf is also significant.

My dog was acting strange and I worried it was a health related problem. He actually got pregnant and gave birth

The dream maintained a logical flow, transitioning from worry to the unexpected event of birthing puppies.

Concern for My Dog

The dream evoked a sense of worry and concern for my dog's health, reflecting my deep attachment to him.

The intensity was moderate, capturing both the anxiety of potential health issues and the surprise of the birth.

The scenario felt quite realistic, as I could vividly picture my dog and the events leading up to the surprising birth.

The dream was highly vivid, with clear images of my dog and the chaotic scene of giving birth.

Reece, your dream about your dog acting strangely and then giving birth can be seen as a rich tapestry of emotions and concerns. The initial worry about your dog's health reflects a deep-seated concern for those you love, indicating that you may be feeling protective or anxious about their well-being. This concern can often reflect not just the love for your pet, but also a broader anxiety about the responsibilities you carry in your relationships, whether they are familial, platonic, or romantic. You might find yourself in a phase of life where you are considering what it means to care for others, and your dog's health symbolizes those attachments that are significant to you.

  As your dream progresses with your dog unexpectedly becoming pregnant, it suggests a transformative process that you may be experiencing in your own life. Pregnancy in dreams often symbolizes new beginnings, growth, and the potential for creativity. It may represent ideas, projects, or aspects of your personal life that are in the early stages of development. This could reflect your own aspirations or desires that you are nurturing but have not yet fully realized. The unexpected nature of the pregnancy could point to surprise developments in your life that may be causing you to feel unprepared or uncertain about how to handle the changes.

  The birth itself is a powerful symbol, often associated with the culmination of thoughts or experiences. It may indicate that you are on the brink of a significant transition, either personally or professionally.

She had white skin, and was brunette with her hair in a bun like the bunch Mulan had.

I went into this VR world and was experiencing these different torture methods. The first one was like a slow guillotine. Instead of a swift chop it was a slow severing with a blunt blade or with a blunt wall so your head was almost crushed off of your body. The second method was leading these people in slow tortuous procession in a line off a cliff. I knew what was going to happen and wanted to run away but there were soldiers keeping me from running. When I got to the edge I looked down and saw a huge pile of bodies. I knew I had to either go by my own jumping or be pushed in by the soldiers. I ended up being pushed and I felt the crunch of my neck and spine and legs when I landed. The last torture method I was on a horse with a sack over my head. There was a rope around my neck with two ends. The first was tied to a horse that was riding in front of me going faster than me and the second was tied to a house that was going slower than me so I was slowly being suffocated and I couldn’t do anything about it.
