Cat
Dog
Helping

Dream

So last night, I had a dream that I was on a walk, and I kept seeing some sort of small animal in the dead tall grass that was like bouncing around almost looked like it was teleporting, but it was like bouncing around as if it were stalking me, however it wasn’t scary. It didn’t feel scary so then I continued my walk after trying to see it and as I was walking, I see this little White cat but looked more spotted like a leopard so maybe a snow leopard with one blue eye the other eye was like gray but the blue eye was really bright with me and we already have two cats and a dog so I don’t need more pets, but I picked up, I started walking home with it because it was cold and all of a sudden there is a leopard it was a snow leopard. I can’t remember if it was a snow leopard or just a leopard. I kept calling a snow leopard in the dream but I feel like it was leopard colored in and she was pretty disheveled asking me to pick up another animal which was a and it was not moving and it was laying on the ground and she picked it up by its neck and put it in my arms so I brought them both home to help them as I get home, leopard shows up on my deck. This leopard is clean and beautiful and pristine looking. She is stalking me, but allows me to her in a very trusting manner as she opens her mouth to like greet me. I come back out with the animals and all the sudden the leopard is no longer leopard. It is a beautiful girl, very familiar person continues to come back to me from an animal Shapeshifting manner sporadically. I even have another person there who is talking to her and has no idea that she was the leopard before we’re sitting on the deck.

I am driving ba k from an event with my mom really late and I stop at a familiar pizza place we used to go to. I tell my mom to stay in the car while I go in to see if they are still open. They were closed so I walk back to the car and ther are 4 men with guns trying to steal the car. I jump in the car and I tell them no.

My friend grabs a shopping cart and start gathering supplies she sees on the street while we try to find other people. We walk and see other people and it looks like some kind of market. While trying to ask people what is going on a lady tries to steal stuff out of our cart. I caught her and take the items back. Someone else sees this and accuses me of stealing. I then wake up.

Being Lost

Dream

I’m at my grandma and grandpa’s house. I’m with my boyfriend in the dream. Even though I don’t have one in real life right now. He was acting strange and weird. He was rude and distant. We were leaving my grandma’s house and I thought he was following me out the back door but when I looked my grandma said bye and then shut and locked the back door. I stood there for a minute and realized he wasn’t coming out that way. It was cold and dark outside. It was winter and snow on the ground. I went around to the side of their house and thought maybe he went out their front door. I go to the side of their house and a strange animal appears. I can’t go back because my grandma and shut and locked the door so they probably wouldn’t hear me knocking. The only way was out to the front of the house. I confront the hostile animal. I thought maybe it was a raccoon or opossum but it wasn’t. It looked like a coyote or wild dog with strange white markings on its coat. It was aggressive and felt threatened. It tried escaping from me. But I wanted to confront it because I had to go out the side gate where it was standing. Once I get closer and closer it backs up and I open the gate and it runs out and then doesn’t bother me anymore. I’m out front now. And it’s quiet. No cars going by. My boyfriend in the dream is nowhere to be seen. He must have left without me. I’m standing there lost and in the cold and dark night. The air is crisp with snow on the ground. The neighborhood looks strange to me. It doesn’t even look how my grandparents’ looks in real waking life. In another part of the dream I find out that there’s a former coworker who lives next to my grandparents’ house or in their neighborhood. I remember thinking “ they’ve lived here this whole time? And I didn’t even know it.” But I don’t even see this person at work anymore. He left my company several years ago and works somewhere else. The weird boyfriend appears again a second time. He’s with me at an Irish Pub. My mom was there. The pub was way too crowded and loud with music. It was night time again. My mom was walking out with us because we were leaving. We’re going down these steps at the pub but there’s so many people that I lose the both of them on the way down. I can’t find my mom. He finally appears out of the crowd but he’s distant and mean to me.

Shopping

Dream

Me and my mom went shopping at Mustafa I think. We got new study stuff for my new school year in 2025. She got me all my needed books and before I could pick anything it was already in the basket .it was a nice place and it had a mini wet forest which had animals, life is ferrets, squirrels and much more. There were a lot of plants as well. I saw dandelions, my favorite thing in the world, and said: Mummy look! Its dandelions! I ran towards it and blew it. It looked like snow and I sang let it go for fun. But my mom said I shouldn't sing it: don't sing it sometimes if the scenario occurs just like in a movie and when you sing just like the character, you could get Elsa’s powers. I got scared hearing that and we left. Then she has out a stray kid's notebook that spelled out hunjin. I was confused and picked out another one. I saw a ferret on the tree. We then went to pay when I saw an I zone poster. I asked my mom Id I could buy it and she allowed me to. I was so happy and bought it. We went home and my mom turned off the lights in our room and lay down to get ready to sleep. I took out the Izone poster and pasted it on my wall and was happy and overjoyed. I slept.

Dream

okay so my dream last night. the first part of the dream was almost scary, i dont remember as vividly but, it was a very dim environment, and i had to live in this room, a wall opened sometimes but if it closed behind you, it was a garentied death. almost like the maze runner. and i go behind this wall, and its just like a normal house except very dark. and robotic spiders and flys would come out, if you got stung, it killed you. and i was back there looking at the stove, not to far from the door and it starts closing, well i manage to fight the door enough to get through, but then i left it open. and swarms of robotic spiders and flies started filling the room, so i had no choice but to go in the room and close the door behind me. there was definitely more to my dream but thats all i can remember. this was the second part but i woak up in a hospital bed, apparently i had been in a coma for 30 years. i went straight to my grandmas house, and her my aunt and my 2 cousins were there. their faces when they saw me, they were in complete shock. but none of them had aged, only me. we sat down and talked and they all huged me, and couldn’t believe i was awake. then somebody mentioned my boyfriend. i ran outside to call him. he answered, and i said yk this is ana. and he said never to talk to him again, and i asked why like what happened. and he said i had 2 boyfriends. and im like huh?? i don’t remember that at all, nor would i do something like that. but all this time had passed, he knew i was in a coma but he didn’t once ask about it or even a “your awake”. i went back inside and told them i needed to see my mom, and my grandma and them drove me to the airport, and my mom and family were really excited, everybody was there to pick me up. extended family too. and same thing, none of them aged only i did. and after that initial reunion, things just went back to normal, i remember being in a paitents room, training as a CNA, but my family was training me? we went to the pet store, ig we needed alot from there, and there was this weird looking animal, its face looked like a peice of wood, and its body like a black rock, and it had holes for its eyes and mouth, they looked so void and empty and lifeless, but it moved. were back at the house, and we were gathering games i think, and there sits, right infront of me, my cousin. brianna, she has passed away in real life, and i knew that somehow. she was sitting on the ground with her son, whos maybe a year. she didn’t have a son in real life. and my mom looked at me like she knew her fate too. brianna hadn’t aged either, but i cried when i saw her. and i thought to myself what if i could be this boys god mother. the last bit of my dream was odd. it was the same but like idk, so im walking down the street, and all of a sudden im paul rudd. and you see him from like a camera point of view, but its me. so im/him is walking in a very crowded place and a ladys purse gets stolen but its all acting cuz there’s cameras all around him. and then its not acting anymore, he/i notices an old shoe store that isnt there anymore, steals a car and drives off to an island where it’s supposedly located now.

Airport

Dream

My sister and I were walking through the airport going to somewhere like Hawaii but I’m not too sure. I felt excited and like there was a lighter feel to my mood. I felt real love in that moment of just true joy I get to experience being with a sibling. We get to the terminals and start shopping for matching bracelets and I pick out a red and green jasper and gold stars to put on my bracelet. I can’t find the supplies to make a bracelet so I start wondering around the store then become anxious as I feel like I’m running out of time. I tell myself I can just go to the store another day to finish making what I wanted. I look around me and the store starts to morph into my workplace. It’s night time and there’s only a few of us at the lab. I tell myself I just have a few things left to do then I get to go home. Suddenly Brandy comes up to me and shows me how to embed a piece of bone. It’s bigger then I know they’re supposed to be when embedding, but I watch her show me anyways. Suddenly I pick up the piece of bone and start walking around with it in my hand. I explore the new door near the embedding station and realize it just takes me to a familiar looking hallway. I hear some things and people at the front and figure I should probably go back to work, finish up, then go home, but then an alarm sounds of someone trying to poison a pregnant woman. I don’t know who this pregnant woman is, and I didn’t see her in the lab but some younger looking guy was at the front being held back from the security and he looked at me briefly. I immediately started looking for an escape. I turn back to that new door I found and I go into the hallway discreetly and try to find a different room to hide in. I see a group of people now quietly standing near the front of the lab pouring in the hallway but I make it past. I open the door to a bathroom and I try to lock it behind me but the lock isn’t working and another woman quickly slips in too. I look at the stalls all around me and they are VERY strange. They’re animalistic statues that you have to climb onto to use the bathroom. Suddenly I do have an urge to go, I try finding a stall but they aren’t working. I finally find one with bold red lettering written all over, a note from my younger sister genna saying “Yasmine, I saved you this one!! Use this one!! For Yasmine only!!!” So I get up onto it to use the hippo shaped toilet then I look up and see a guard at a light tower.
