🧭 Direction

Identity

Try to express your inner thoughts and feeling. Humans are social beings, and the way we socialize is by expressing ourselves. It's time to reconnect with your lost and hidden desires. Follow your true nature, free yourself from the cage you have put yourself in.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of an animal can evoke a range of emotions depending on the specific animal and the context of the dream. It may bring feelings of curiosity, fascination, or even fear. Animals often symbolize our instincts, desires, or untamed aspects of ourselves. The emotions associated with this dream can vary from a sense of connection and harmony with nature to a sense of vulnerability or unpredictability. The interpretation of the dream will depend on the individual's personal experiences and associations with the animal in question.

Dream

I was having some sort of workshop or learning party with my work at my childhood home. We were assembling pieces of art when all of a sudden the power went out. During the power outage we decided we should take a work trip to the ocean so we gathered all of our things and set out. We found a raft that would keep all of us. We adventured to a part of the ocean that would be safe, and we submerged fully under water. I remember feeling scared and like I shouldn’t open my eyes because i was afraid of what i was going to see. We landed at the bottom of the ocean and it was very dark. We could feel and hear animals moving around about us. I couldn’t believe I was breathing under water. I felt the weight and the pressure of the ocean on my body. At one point an animal that reminded me of a dog laid up beside me and I would give it belly rubs. We then decided as a group we should play a game and we pretended to be pirates. I went and found places to hide trying to protect my gold. At one point i remember seeking sharks swim among us. It was thrilling.

Dream

I had an dream throughout the night with an on going plot even though I woke up multiple times I fell right back into it. I met up with a guy who I thought was very attractive which is rare for me. I met him at his house for a date. He showed me around and we talked lightly. Then he took me to his backyard to meet his friends who were all there hanging out. He walked accross a pond full of gigantic black slimy crabs. He walked accross the sunken stepping stones with ease but when I put my foot on the stones the massive crabs grabbed at my toes. I looked to my left and saw a clear grassy path to go meet up with them instead. I wondered why he walked accross the dangerous pond which was the long way around. I knew some of these girls in the group from high school. They were all model looking cheerleaders and their respected boyfriends. They had never talked to me before but because i was with their beautiful friend on a date and he liked me, they were nice to me. Me and him spent the whole day together and as the day went on more and more people appeared. We watched a tv series for awhile with a group of his guy friends land I fell asleep on my dates chest drooling. I was naked in just my robe the whole time and my the top kept sliding off exposing both my breasts but no one ever said anything. Everyone was very welcoming and kind to me. More and more people kept appearing in the living room like a full house of extended friends and family all sitting around and talking. Me and my date ended up curled up on the floor cuddling in the corner. At midnight he took me back to my house. This was a house I lived in many years ago in high school. The streets were full of cartoonish zombies with a variety of one specific kitchen Utensil as a head. A spatula man attached me and my date saved me. I was sitting in the back seat and he drove. The streets were a sheet of ice powdered with light snow. He dropped me off and I went straight up to my old room. Someone has rearranged my room, there was a baby cradle in the corner and a changing table where my fish tank used to be. Everything was Lacey white and glowing in a fairy princess type of way. I went to my bed and pulled out a gift my date slipped into my pocket without me knowing. It was a thick letter and notebook about how much he adored me. I was trying to read it but realized I was dreaming because I couldn’t read. I willed the dream to stay even though I was conscious now and lucid dreaming. Things got dark and fearful and I saw myself in a black mirror looking back at me. I looked out the window and knew I needed to make the sun rise. A female voice in my left ear sang “hopeless” “it’s hopeless” I ignored the song and willed the sun to rise. It was day time and I woke up.

Dream

In my dream I was a small sprite, fae girl moved into a log cabin. The humans were hunting me. I’d watched the capture thousands of sprites of all ages and cage them in this chest that they would later attempt to drown in a dark summoning ritual. Hundreds of us. Some bounty hunters stopped the but some of those humans got away. Not without bullet holes. Blood was everywhere. During a storm. I wanted to cry the entire time. Forced into very dark places I met this fae man and we tried to run away together within the tree tops. It was super hard because of being of dark chaos, a snake like monster chased. We tried to get away but the raindrops would make us plummet to the earth. It was like nature itself was against us yet we used our abilities to hide within the groves of the wood. We’d talk to animals for directions but humans took up every street. We could find a safe place to reside. And then we were separated and I was no longer a small fae sprite but a tall humanoid unicorn. Once again I was running because dragons kept trying to capture me as a forced bride. I had been offered to a prince of some kind in a fae kingdom. I never met the prince but I might the princess. She was powerful and walk around with a sword and knights flanking her. There kingdom was so cleanly-sparkling almost. Like one you’d see in a video game. We’d met at another wedding, a forced marriage. And there they planned to exchange my hand to a king or something. Idk. People kept telling me I’d be with someone but didn’t say who and then treated me as more of a pawn then anything. Going about etiquette and low birth. How I must be trained in. And then they brought me to dark witches. Fae witches with wings or that could turn into spooky animals and they’d threaten me while taking my measurements. Show me strange things I couldn’t understand and praise me in ways to convince me to give them whatever I held on me. The wedding I had attended was between fae of some sort and a dark force had interrupted. Causing the walls to shatter and fall over. Something that could cause trees to rot with just a finger brush against it. And then there were more tests. Always testing me with terrifying things. Throwing me into natural disasters were the tsunamis would raise to the sky and I couldn’t escape the fall. And it would hurt and fear would be overwhelming but I forced my self to enjoy it. I was so afraid I was laughing like FUCK YOU GOD DO IT AGAIN. And the waves came again and again, and I ran and hide and took it like a champ. I didn’t want to be afraid and I was afraid. But I didn’t back down. Never in any of the challenges did I lie down and give up. I stalled but I returned too. A million times I was surrounded and beat by monsters, humanoid creatures. Torturers and I fought and ran, came up with plans to hide my scent or disguise myself. Unlike the others, my mind didn’t turn off in fear- no it expanded. And I fought wars, I watched civilizations fall and I was killed or eaten and I fought tooth and nail for every breath and the worst part is I never actually won so I can’t understand yet what I was learning. Because I fought against titans as a small little sprite, switching between veils and realms. And they chased and chasdied me and I didn’t die. And when I wouldn’t die I’d be given to someone. Or I’d be told that I’m to be married off. That soon a dark being would come for me. Someone who is cruel and kills all he sees and that would be my husband. And that happened a lot.

Dream

Dream I was in a school, alone, going through different classrooms trying to find a safe one, one had living squishmellow plushies. Like animals but they felt like pillows. I was hiding from a teacher and people who wouldn’t leave me alone because I was having an anxiety attack, they wanted me to stay and do something, i don’t know what but they made me scared more. I was in the safe classroom with the Squishmellows and i hugged a tiger one, I was just minding my own business with the tiger plushie and some other ones, and then I moved a bit and put an actual plushie that was not living on the other side of me so I was hidden even more, but as soon as I did that I saw someone coming, she was mysterious, she had glasses she was somewhat old but young at the same time in her 40s? She had a similar skin complexion as me, She started asking me questions and it made me scared, the question “who are you?” And “you aren’t supposed to be in this classroom.” I tried to reason with her and everything and it seemed like it worked? Then I saw the outline of the people who are looking for me outside of the classroom, the windows, and she instantly said “quickly this way” then I was lead into this glass room with a weird chalice bowl shaped cup, the bowl was in this weird silver square. She told me to pick it up and i did, but to be careful i grabbed all of it and not just the bowl, and to drink it, so I did, I drank the liquid it tasted sweet like tea, it was not cold, it was lukewarm, then I saw her, she was grabbing something, and she did it in a manner that scared me and made me stop drinking, she told me to keep drinking as she put in this strange silver liquid, I just got a small taste from it being mixed with the other liquid. It was sour, tasted like mercury, I didn’t really drink it, I didn’t drink any of it, but I lied, and then I saw through her and I told her how i could see that she wanted to harm me, that it was poison, she didn’t even try to hide the fact afterwards. She admits it. I don’t remember what happened after that I don’t remember what happened to her or where she went all I remember next is that the doors had become wide open now, and people my age had been leaving from it, now me outside of the classroom into the hall, I met some girl, she was nice, she was one of the students, in that classroom, she had no idea the teacher was evil, but she wanted to help me, she was truly trustable, then one of my friends, i caught a chance to see them and now us three began to find a solution to all of this, on our journey as we walked down to the hallway in a hurry, I stopped as thoughts began to erode my mind about what just happened, I thought, I really need to see someone, so i told them that i will be back and that i should see the nurse, and they understood that, one of them said they would go with me, but they both ended up walking with me, one of them got distracted by this weird man in a booth, he kept saying “ah I see you are on a journey, do you want to see how it ends? Would you like to see your future?” One of my friends took out a ticket and had the man tell them theirs, this was nerve wracking for me, this dude had weird vibes and I just wanted to go to the nurse so I don’t die from poisoning. But they wanted me to do it too real quick, so I did, i grabbed one of my lesser tickets, but wait it was ripped, I grabbed the pieces of it, it wasnt ripped badly and could be easily tapped together like a dollar bill, he did not like this i could tell he wanted a better ticket but i tried reasoning with him, which he seemed okay with but underneath not making it very clear, his motives about me trying to fix it and tape it back together, he became more aggressive, ripping the ticket more and more, saying it’s impossible to fix, that i should give him a better ticket, the special ones i have, as I’m here trying to fix the worsened ticket my friends are here trying to just get this over with and coax me into giving this man a overcharged ticket, because its taking so long, and now I’m anxious even more, sweating as I try to deal with this, now the strange man gets angry as I finally fix it and he was just like “why didn’t you just give me your good tickets?!” And then he ripped it up and flame eyes in him, I instantly got a magic vision like a magic ball or magic mirror showing me a vision of the future or present, it was a mangled face, that was supposed to be mine, it was all bloody with a bunch of ravens on top of it eating it, it was gross and looked like red fruit with a bunch of rips and bites in it where you can’t distinguish a face at all just bone and meat after the ravens disbursed and then it apparently got shown to everyone in the school at the same time, and they had been calling me by my dead name and then I woke up feeling humiliated and anxious.

Family

Dream

Some kind of family reunion near or at a theme park. Even tho I didn’t recognize anyone but Peter. While there, I also was messaging Kim, accidentally from my sister’s phone. I remember thinking this was odd because wouldn’t she ask me, her best friend, and not my sister to help her find something? I was surprised to go out side and see Kim there with her mother. There were reflective bluish windows on the building, reflecting our appearances back to us briefly as we walked. Her mom was overweight and with short hair. Kim looked stressed to be with her. My mom and I had gotten there earlier and lost our parking pass, and had dug through pink soft sand at the front by the wall where we may have dropped it. Kim and her mom were Looking for a parking pass. We went digging in some soft pink sand near the entrance wall and after a while we did find it and they were so relieved. They had noticed that my mom and I had already been digging and there was traces of us digging in the same area and I explained and when I went back down to dig through the soft sand my I nudged a piece of plastic and came up with the laminated ticket and I was so happy and relieved. After that I broke away from Kim and returned with my family to take a family reunion picture in a building on the right. I was in a sour mood for some reason, but my brother was there and Peter was keeping me in a decent mood. He also gave the photographer a hard time, and she seemed to be a little unprofessional or unprepared, but nice enough. He even insulted the picture she took. When I was holding things and they asked me to put them down, I threw them to the side, rather peddly, and then I even felt a little bad because one of the items I was holding wasn't mine. After the pictures, we all left to the building on the left, a very similar structure, and went inside to like mingle and stuff. We noticed these weird hopping animals as we went inside and they said that they were aardvarks but in my head even in the dream I knew that they were some fantasy animal but we'll call them aardvarks. They were orange-ish, about knee-to-waist height, with long necks and curled, dulled claws on their hands. And their necks didn't move the way a duck neck would. They moved like snakes, flicking and stuff. It was unnerving, but they were kind of cute and just seemed curious. One of them tried to get inside, hopping and clawing at the door. And I was joking at first, holding the door closed and telling my family about it, but the aardvark got more aggressive and insistent and it wouldn't give up and I kept holding the door and it was getting harder to hold the door closed from it. The door started to bend at the top and its claws came through and its neck and it was trying to come in, getting closer. Eventually, right before I woke up, I lost my grip on the door and the aardvark burst inside at my feet. I remember trying to nudge it with my foot and how odd it felt against my ankle and me being worried that it was going to bite me or something. Earlier in the dream there was something vague about wandering and trying to get to a destination urgently and yet feeling lost at some kind of convention in a dark building. There were other people there, but I can't remember much of the details. I know that there was a nice but busy priest nearby. I know that I think I was trying to get back to my mom or my family. I know that there was an odd bit about the parrot, Iago from Aladdin, and Sour Patch Kids with some kind of factory where they would squeeze through these child-sized holes. And the Sour Patch Kids were child-sized and also alive and had the voices of children and I remember feeling very anxious about that moment because it was almost like it was foreshadowing what if that happened to a real child and would they survive the candy factory and probably not because it would squish them or hurt them or something.

Dream

I was teaching a class at this creepy, dark complex somewhere in the Arctic circle, but no one was showing up to class, so I decided to leave. Lots of people were in this main market hub, on a dock right next to a frigid sea. Some of the dream involved me diving into the sea and swimming with ocean creatures, though I don’t think I was actually doing this in the dream but rather just imagining what it would be like. There was a creature like a narwhal that I kept referring to a “sea goat” which was aggressive towards the other local wildlife and being reined in by trained swimmers. I was in awe of this and wanted to witness it for myself. I spent a good deal of the dream imagining swimming with them, which greatly surprised me, because I am terrified of sea creatures and being underwater with them. At some point I imagined giant sea monsters, and was afraid that they would attack beachgoers. Andrew Eiden was there, and I was attracted to him, although he was hanging out with other women who were a lot more attractive to him. We ate dinner together; they were all eating seafood but I declined. I thought about how I could be a much better actor if I would just stop trying so hard, and I told Andrew this and he didn’t indicate if he agreed or not.

Dream

All I can remember about my last dream is that I was trying to fight or run from a multibear which is a bear with many heads and it's more powerful than a regular bear but we were on top of this glass building sorta like a greenhouse I guess and it was floating in the ocean with no other land around, it was halfway in and out of the water and tilted like instead of being the way a house is on the ground it was diagonal from that, so we were running or fighting sorta on this glass house island and inside there were some animals, some were bear cubs so that probably what the multibear wanted but there was other animals too and I think I wanted to keep it away from them, or maybe I couldn't get in? I don't remember why I was fighting the multibear other than it was fighting me so I had to.
