🧭 Direction

Bad omen

Is there anything in your life that is making you anxious? Worry will not help you in any situation. It is your commitment to others and your people-pleasing attitude that is causing you to lose personal control and making you anxious. Take back the lost control, and work towards your own betterment.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of kidnapping evokes feelings of fear, vulnerability, and powerlessness. It signifies a loss of control and a sense of being trapped or held against one's will. This dream may reflect deep-seated anxieties or a fear of being taken advantage of. It can also symbolize a desire for freedom or a need to assert oneself in waking life. The emotions associated with this dream are often intense and unsettling, leaving a lingering sense of unease upon waking.

Dream

im like a babysitter or just helper person to this family and im helping their son/daughter and i help them get on the road for their trip. in the middle of helping them im in an inside/outside office set up and their daughter is taken by these two other girls. but the two girls like mask the situation. they come into the office and everyone around feels that something is off about the situation even if they dont know anything about whats going on, some people are bothered enough to comment on it. but no one takes action because they dont actually know whats happening. when the three of them leave everyone carry's on like normal. but something reminds me of the daughter and im wondering where she is and the feeling is so strong that whatever the kidnappers used to mask it is revealed and i realize she was taken and im screaming her name and everyone is just staring at me and i wake up

me and my friend oz had gone to this place that was supposed to be a camp i guess? but in actuality we were both kidnapped,,, they would track how we would feel the entire time, it would be shown on a screen at the top of the ceiling. the main evil lady would tell me how i’m much more likely to “go insane” which sounds stupid rn but it felt REAL. i felt so trapped and terrible and it was not cool. ppl would ask me if i was a bad guy too bc on the screen it would show that i was the least scared? i realized i actually had my iphone so i was like “I NEED TO TEXT EVERYONE WHATS GOING ON!!” and the lady found out i had my phone and put this contraption on it before i could send it out. i had literally BRAWLED her, like i was punching the shit out of her. i had two strikes, and ‘something bad’ would happen after three. anywho she was like “haha if u can take this off than u can have ur phone.” so while i was trying to figure it out, i was walking around the place trying to get some clues on the contraption or how to get out. and i have stumbled upon uh… a human fridge. it was just full of dead ppl that were frozen. which is obviously scary. i was the only person who knew,, so when i came back to the main area, on the screen thing it showed that i was TOO scared, so they all the guards got suspicious of me and kept trying to ask me questions. i think i had tried to swoon one of them? anyways i finally opened the contraption for my phone and i texted everyone in a server i was in but no one would respond, and i texted my family and they wouldn’t either,, and somehow i had escaped after a FREAKY ass chase but oz hadn’t. and i remember thinking while i was driving some random mofos car like “i can’t go back but i can’t leave oz either.” and that’s where the dream ended😞 in the dream i think they were farming ppl which is horrific

Leaving

Dream

(I can’t remember my whole dream, but there are a few sections that I remember.) The first thing that I can remember is dream me sitting in a car. There’s a stranger in the driver’s seat, driving the car. I think it was implied that the stranger kidnapped me, but I can’t remember. Anyway, the stranger is driving, and I’m constantly complaining. The stranger tells me to knock myself out so that I’ll be quiet and I do it. Next thing I know, I’m at a gas station, and the stranger has turned into my mom. The gas station has been bedazzled, and is covered in shiny gems and stones. While my mom fills the car with gas, I get a call from my sister. I can’t remember what she said, but I know that shortly after we hung up, a car almost crashed into the gas station. (I can’t remember what happened after that, so I’ll just skip ahead to what I do remember.) The next thing I know, I’m in a room with my sister and my friends. There’s a bunch of moss on the ground that keeps spreading across the room. We all sing songs and act like everything is normal. Even though I was nervous about the moss. Then, the giant metal door that was blocking our exit opens up. Everyone runs outside of the room and celebrates. As the door closes, we hear a noise from inside. One of my friends was still in the room, and she asked for help. I held the door open for her and then told everyone else to leave the room. Then I started talking about ghosts for some reason and closed the door. Afterwards, my friends, my sister, and I all started talking to each other. Then my sister got called to the street, I followed after her. By the sidewalk, was a woman in a black car claiming to be my sister’s Aunt. Even though she clearly wasn’t our aunt. Regardless, my sister got into the car, and I went with her. The lady gave my sister this weird doll and started driving. (Then I woke up.)

I was being kidnapped to go save my dad. i don’t have anymore contact with him in the waking world, and i didn’t in my dream. i was helping getting him back against my will. I had somewhere between three and five zip ties around my hands and I was being shoved into the backseat of what looked like a black SUV. We went across different countries to go and get him. He was trying to talk to me but I never said a word to him because I didn't like him. We eventually made it back to America and I had to ask my boss if she could take away my vacation time because I used it up from being kidnapped. she told me i could still go to vacation in august but it wouldn’t be pto.

Dream

I had a dream about living in this apartment complex and there was a whole bunch of kids that were really young, and I think some of them were my younger cousins? They were in my apartment but there was this guys across from us who always tried to kidnap us and kill us then drag our bodies to his house. Some of the kids were kinda stupid and would go outside or fall for his traps which lead them to getting murdered. There was this neighbor on the top floor of the killer, since they were apartments and she was on top I think she was a cop and I told her a few times but she didn’t seem to do much about it until I had proof kinda then she believed me one random time I told her. There was a balcony on the top floor upstairs where some of the kids would go and look at the killer, the killer was pretty tall too. I wouldn’t want the killer to know that there’s anyone here no kids but they wouldn’t listen to me so a few of them ended up leaving the house and ended up getting murdered. The cop upstairs finally believed me and she arrested him I think then me and my family were in a church holding a funeral service I think for all the kids.

Me and my partner bought a house together but I worried about not having enough money for the initial payment. Because I was not working in my dream. I used my credit card and assured my partner it’s okay I will pay for the house first. But I was so happy that our future will be together in this house. Then when I was going back, I got onto a bus that was not a normal bus. The bus driver and some people on it were kidnappers. I don’t know why they wanted to kidnap us and I kept asking them angrily why, but they kept mum. I also tried calling the police but there was no connection. I panicked because I thought I couldn’t contact my partner and the outside world. And I couldn’t escape.

Dream

I was on vacation with my family, not sure where we were going or where we were at. The dream started with us entering these huge elevators. I knew almost everyone in this dream in some capacity whether through passing or I had/have some relationship with (family, friends, past co-workers, social media friends, acquaintances, etc). As we were waiting for the first elevator I noticed that the numbers didn’t go in order and our family was directed to go to the 12th floor, but instead of the numbers going 1-12 for each floor, the 12th floor was at the bottom with the button for that floor being black, then there was a red button for a number smaller than 12. I thought that to be odd, but it didn’t phase me. So once the elevator doors opened, my family and I entered in and it was SO spacious inside, however the capacity limit was only for up to 6 people at a time, again really odd, because usually capacity is by weight and not the number of people on the elevator and the size of the elevator you could essentially fit at least 50 people on. So now my family has to split up in order for us to get to our floor (what I’m assuming is our hotel floor). I wasn’t related to anyone in my elevator ride, however I knew most of the people on the elevator, I asked each one of them which floors they were on and everyone that I knew said “12th floor,” again, I thought no way we’re all going to the same floor. The elevator itself was really bright and everything was white, there were no windows or anything, but it was almost too bright. It was a stark contrast between the waiting area for the elevator and the elevator itself. Once we exited off the elevator the 12th floor was a bit darker, in color and in mood, I don’t even remember getting reunited with my family or even going to my room, the dream switched to me being kidnapped and taken underground to work as a slave. I’m not sure how long I was gone for. I noticed that everyone working underground as “slaves” were people of color and the people in charge of us were not. I was so confused when I got there until I started talking to the slaves, their stories on how they got there was similar to mine, they were on vacation with their families and were staying (or supposed to be) on the 12th floor until they were kidnapped right after getting off the elevator or them exploring the hotel/cruise ship. I was baffled, there were thousands of us underground digging, we were supposedly trying to find certain hidden artifacts in Africa, so a company would attract people from all over the world to stay at their resort or cruise line for a cheap or free price just to kidnap and make them slaves in some way until they found everything they were looking for. Once I learned this I started trying to escape, I learned the higher or closer to the surface you work the more valuable the slave owners saw you and the more privileges you received when connecting with family and friends. So that’s what I did, I would make friends with the people over the slaves and then get promoted up, I’d also put in a good word for the slaves that helped me and were nice so they could get closer to the surface too. Along the way I met and were reunited with so many people, no one in my dream had passed away, in reality all of these people to my knowledge are still alive. I’m not sure how much time had passed but I was able to make it to the surface, the surface was enclosed, it looked like a SAMS or Costco store and there were hundreds of people in it, mostly white, there were very few people of color. Everyone was in these long lines, so I joined a line and because the wait was for hours I became fast friends with the people in front of me. Not sure if we ever exchanged names, but it was 2 girls in their 20s and a boy around their age. I asked what the line was for and they said to check in for your floor. I asked if they already knew their floor number and they said last time they got the red floor, but they’re not sure about this time and they’ll find out when they get to the desk. I then asked if someone had a phone I needed to check to see if my grandma made it or if she was in line, so one of the girls handed me her cell phone, the phone looked like an early 2000s brick phone. Every time I tried to make a call, the call never went through but each time the girl made a call or text on her phone the call or message went through perfectly fine. I ended up staying in line with these people, getting to know this hotel through them since they’ve previously been here. They were all so nice but I still didn’t trust them with the information I knew about that was going on underneath the building. Once we finally made it to the front of the line, I bid them farewell and headed to the elevators, this time taking a different set and allowing the person in front of me choose their floor and hoping on with them. In this elevator it was still bright like the other but more people could be on at once and they had a back window that showed the outside. The window faced a Chik fil A lot. I knew 2 girls and a guy on the elevator with me. The 2 girls (one was a friend of a friend and the other was an old co worker) and the guy I’ve known all my childhood through school and we’re Facebook friends. The two girls were people of color, one being Asian and the other Latina. The guy is white, when I asked about their floor number, they looked at me crazy and said the orange floor. Once we made it to the orange floor and I stepped off the elevator I woke up from the dream.
