I don’t remember much of this dream, but I remember driving from my nana Angie’s house to Georgetown, I always get a strange feeling in dreams about her house. Like a sense of forboading and anxiety. The landscape is always darker, not black and white, but the sky is grey and the environment has this eery feeling. It’s not scary, but it doesn’t feel safe either.

Dream About Driving From Nanas House

I was trying to take a dream interpretation class, led by a former acting troupe director of mine. The thing is, it was less interpretation and more just sharing our dreams, so this was my first class, and I realized it wasn’t for me. Not if interpretation wasn’t going to play a part. 

Through this class, I met two people who seemed like best friends, but were also a “will they/won’t they” couple. The guy, who seemed a bit effeminate and not one to be a predator, was trying to kiss the girl at the end of the class. The girl actually had male-length short, bleach blonde hair. It looked like she was trying to push away, but only because of their “will they/won’t they” situation. I asked her, “Is this what you want??” She thought about it and said yes, and let the guy kiss her goodbye. 

He then did the same with me: he dipped me and planted an open-mouthed kiss on me. His lip shape was boxy and didn’t move. I was the one who had to initiate an actual kiss.

Funny thing is the guy resembles a recommended Facebook friend and MAYBE the bleach blonde girl too? The thing is, I don’t know if this person is actually a guy or a non-binary person. I’m trying to look up who this person is, but Friends You May Know only shows up when you don’t need it! 

Next, I was on a plane from Korea headed back home to the States. The trip was with my parents and sister, but my sister was the only one who was in the dream since she was sitting next to me on the flight. As someone who watches YouTube videos on air crash disasters, a bit of anxiety naturally comes. I was very anxious, enough to have to take three propranolol’s in my dream. 

What made it even more outrageous was we as passengers could hear what was happening in the cockpit. So the pilot, an old man, was training the first officer on how to take off. In fact, they were PRACTICING on our flight. Repeatedly. 

My sister also randomly pointed out another passenger who was incessantly cleaning her table and we agreed she was OCD and felt sorry for her.

It was a typical Saturday morning. I woke up to go work out and go to yoga class. After exercising I took it upon myself to run some errands. I knew I had a wedding event to DJ that started at 5:00 pm, which meant I needed to be there by about 3:00 pm to start setting up.  

I thought I had my DJ clothes with me so I ran a few additional errands. Then I realized I did not have my clothes with me.  I only had my DJ equipment. I tried to call home and adk my wife Christi to iron my clothes and get things prepared for me so it would be easy for me to just stop by and grab them.  No one answered the phone. I thought that was odd because they didn't say they were going anywhere. Wow I ran an additional Aaron knowing I was already pressed for timem, yet I stopped at another store.  I was in a Home Depot like store. I drove my vehicle inside the store andbit was a big van.  By this time it's 4:00 pm and I knew every minute was going to be pushing it, because I generally like to arrive 2 hours. I knew I could set up in 45 to 30 minutes if really pressed for time, however, it wouldnmakenme sweaty, wirh no time to feeshen up before changing clothes.  On the way driving to the wedding venue, there was a safety check by law enforcement.  I had to pull over and they checked the seat belts to make sure they were working. When the officer closed my passenger front door, he intentionally put the safety belt on the lower outside corner of the door so it wouldn't close properly. I was driving while the passenger door on the right side was occasionally opening.  I tried to close it while driving and that didn't work too well. I finally got to the on-ramp to turn to get onto  Dodge Street.  I was able to slow down and stop for a few second on the on ramp just to untangle the belt and close the door properly. 

Now by this time I'm stressing out because I'm going to get to the wedding with about 25 minutes to set up. For some reason now I had a shuttle driver and two other passengers and they were dressedbin suits. One sat in the front seat with the driver and the other one sat in the back seat behind the driver.  When I looked, I noticed the driver was Ray, one of my former wrestlers.  He was a nice guy.  I  DJ'd his wedding several years ago and two of his sister-in-laws weddings . He was at another wedding I DJ'd and he was very helpful in helping me keep things organized for the buffet.  He said, "Hey James, good to see you buddy".  I told him I needed his help and he said sure! What do you need"?   I told him that I needed to get to the wedding and he said he was going to the same wedding.  He would drop me off so I could set up and then he would go to my house and get my clothes for me.  I was still trying to call home to have someone get the clothes ready so all he had to do was pick them up.  I felt a little relief that I was going to make it on time. I told him I've never been late for a wedding during the 22 years I've been DJing.

So I have this dream and I wasn't really that weird but I'm just going to describe it here so I was in a school and the hallways and the school itself was like kind of liminal space almost like like for example so there was the doors of the school and you walk in I think they're like brown doors like brown double doors and then there's a front desk on your left and then when you're right there's this classroom but it is glass double doors I'm pretty sure and then there's the hallway and the glass double doors kind of curve and stuff and the classroom doesn't have no windows except for when you go inside of the windows face to the outside but I never really ended up going into the classroom I was only at the front desk and at the hallway and so my belongings were outside the classroom and I think somebody was coming to pick me up. And the general area I was in I think the carpet was either black or dark navy blue and the walls were either white or light blue I mean this area or this general hallway and stuff was just a mix of light blues and dark Navy blues and stuff. And then I go outside and then I was excited to see this to see this guy for some odd reason and he was in a black latex shiny devil costume like his whole body was black shiny latex and his horns were black shiny latex and I don't know if he had a tail or not but I think he did and he said "oh you should try this on, I think you'll look good in it" and so he gave me a spare one and I decided to try it on so I had on like a red top of some sorts and green pants for some reason which was a weird combination but whatever. And when I was trying it on I went into the school and they told me oh you have to have clothes on and stuff so I took off the black latex stuff and it's somehow just disappeared and the guy disappeared and so I went back outside just trying to fix my clothes on myself right and then I was greeted by this older gentleman, which appear to be my lover in the dream. Like you're holding hands I was very much clean and beside him and so I was just very happy to see this guy apparently and so we both went into the front desk and I think he was talking to the front desk agent and like you know there's another dude picking up my belongings and I think taking them to a car. Then I had a text message my phone and I don't remember the message but I remember the older gentleman kind of yelling at me to run and to leave and very much scream to that and the students heard in so much to the point where some of them did start to walk out the classroom and look at me with concern and I even recognized some students in my dream as some middle school students I used to go to middle school with in real life. They are in fact in this dream. And then I run down this lengthy hallway and then I reach the glass double doors and I push them and I had my phone out and I had a call and I accepted it and this guy was just saying these weird odd things to me like he had blackmail on me and that he was stalking me and that he know where I was and then I need to run and then he will capture me or catch me. So I just ran and just ran into this playground and the children were swinging on the swings and it took me a while to try to go through these things but eventually I just climbed over the monkey bars of some sort and then I started to run more and this guy was literally right behind me. And then I ran into the forest where there was this random bedroom in the forest like I can't really explain it like it was a hotel bedroom with just one bed no bathroom and stuff like that. And then I saw this man that was chasing after me in the room like he came behind me and then we just started to talk and argue and it's an eventually he launched at me with a big old kitchen knife and then I immediately tried to deescalate the situation and then tried to flirt with this guy to save my own life and then I took the knife and pushed him on the bed and then I started to for a lack of a better words, slice his throat and then I went down and I think I sliced his legs or arms or something but I was definitely slicing his throat and stuff and he was trying to like breathe and breathe and eventually he died I think but he wasn't really dead because after he took his last breath he kind of looked at me and was still talking and stuff and then we made a truce and we shook hands and he got up and he just left the room and then after a while I left the room and I ran out of the forest. 

The second dream, this last dream was really weird to me and I didn't understand and I still don't. From what I could remember, I was in our black Mitsubishi car and I was with me and my mom and my mom was the driver and we were driving down this familiar road where Panda Express was on our left and up ahead Chick-fil-A would be on our right and then she asked me " what do you want to eat" and then after a while, she passes pet Express and I knew I wanted to Panda Express but I was afraid of telling her I wanted Panda Express because we just passed it, but eventually I told her I wanted Panda Express and then we stopped at this light which Chick-fil-A was on our right and Panda Express was on our left but it was back there so we had to make a u-turn and this random lady comes up to us and she looked like she was working for Chick-fil-A and I got kind of confused and my mom told her my order first and then the lady was like okay okay and then she left like she looked like a Chick-fil-A employee and I was confused cuz I didn't want Chick-fil-A and then so he made a u-turn and we went back to Panda Express to get our order which I was just confused by and then our car just disappeared. Yes, disappeared into basically thin air and I think my mother was gone for a while at this time and then I got my order of food and I was actually really excited about it. I ate some chow mein and then I ate my fried rice with vegetable but they didn't have my chicken for some reason so they did get my order wrong I had to orders and the only thing I really ordered was a orange chicken with fried rice with large Sprite with I think five cookies or maybe like five brownies and another sugary dessert with that. I don't think I had my spray and I think I did but I just don't recall and then I just see these people just not doing their jobs and stuff and it kind of making me mad cuz I was just like what are they doing like they come I would really wrong but at least I ate you know and then all of a sudden the drive-through kind of turns into this kind of convertible waiting area. And we have a TV in the corner and I see on the TV that there was a magnitude 2.7 earthquake or 7.2 I don't know it was just a really massive earthquake and I saw on the news and it was either happening in the Philippines or in the Caribbean. I was just looking at this and I was just so shocked and stuff and everybody was looking at the TV as long as I was, and then like about like 1 ft away from this drive through there was this kiosk so and it was attached to said drive through so I went to this little kiosk and I am the rest of my food there and I got to complained that the food was in the right food and I just put down this little like my perfumes and stuff and this lady got her other products out of the way which I was confused by cuz I wasn't selling anything I was just putting down my stuff. towards the end of the dream I saw this guy and he was like hell of them boys but like we were basically friends in the dream and then there is this big old limo Hummer if you know what that is, it was pink and stuff and I think RuPaul was in it and it's like you know random guy that was for a boy and just went into the van and just just drove away with the doors closes obviously I was actually the one that was closing the doors actively and then they drove away. Then I was just left there looking at the limo Hummer as it drove and that was basically the end of the dream.

Last night I dreamt that I was with my sister and dad and we lived in a commune. I was tipsy but I felt this impending sense that the people around us were unsafe. I wanted to leave. Somebody stole our phones.

Heartbreak

I was at a reunion around Disney of people I care about. Not just family or high school. Just a life reunion. 

My estranged sister and niece were there, and I was glad. But I had to shower before meeting them for dinner. I had just swam in ocean with a good friend. The only bathroom I could use was a communal thing. There was a bar of soap, but nothing else. So I took some of my estranged sister’s shampoo. While in the shower I could somehow hear her talking about how I stole her things to get ready. I had a breakdown from anxiety and fear. 

I finally got to the dinner and told her right away that I took a little shampoo from her but took nothing else. She didn't seem angry, but she told me my hair looked awful and shed send her hairdresser to look at how I'd ruined my hair with bleach. Later when the blond lady showed up while I was in the bathroom,  she said there was nothing wrong with my hair. I finally went to sit at the table with my sister, but was trying to find wine/alcohol on my way.

Despite the anxiety, the sequence of events flowed logically from reunion to showering, maintaining a coherent narrative.

Life Reunion at Disney

The dream conveyed a mix of anxiety and relief as I reunited with loved ones, especially my estranged sister.

My emotional breakdown and the subsequent interactions heightened the intensity of the dream experience.

The communal bathroom and the conversation about shampoo added a layer of realism, making the dream feel tangible.

The details of swimming in the ocean and the dinner setting were strikingly clear, contributing to a highly vivid dream.

Colleen, your dream presents a rich tapestry of emotions and experiences that reflect your current state of mind. The reunion setting around Disney, a place often associated with nostalgia and joy, suggests a longing for connection and a desire to reconcile with aspects of your life that may feel fragmented. This indicates a deep-seated wish to reconnect not just with family, but with your own self, perhaps including parts of you that have felt estranged or neglected due to various life changes and challenges you’ve faced.

  Your estranged sister and niece’s presence in the dream is significant. It speaks to unresolved feelings and complexities in your familial relationships. The gladness you felt at their presence juxtaposed with the need to prepare yourself before meeting them reveals an anxious anticipation. This suggests that you are aware of the underlying tensions in these relationships, which may cause you to feel unprepared or vulnerable. The act of showering, often a symbol of cleansing or renewal, indicates your desire to refresh or transform your identity before facing these connections.

  The communal bathroom and the struggle to find privacy amplify the feelings of exposure and anxiety. Your choice to use your sister’s shampoo, while seemingly small, represents a deeper conflict regarding boundaries and ownership within your relationships. Hearing her voice accusing you of stealing evokes feelings of guilt and insecurity, which may stem from your history of anxiety and depression.

Dream About Family Reunion And Anxiety 2

last night i dreamed. i cannot remember the first half but the point i remember from is walking into my bathroom because i was in my brothers room grinding my teeth accidentally when i was playing mario kart with him. i went to the bathroom to check my teeth and see if they’re wiggly. i look in the mirror and see my lower right canine wiggling and it comes loose, but there are other teeth behind it. there’s one that’s the same size and shape and one small deformed tooth between them that looks soft and like a baby tooth when i pulled the first tooth out. i freaked tf out and threw it down into the sink panicked and started like whining crying freaking out verbally. then i looked to my lower left molar and checked if it was wiggly and it was and i pulled it off most of the way but it was hanging there. then i saw the middle small tooth between the back one and the one i just pulled off there was a dark grey cavity looking spot. it was kinda like veneers but i don’t have veneers. it made me think about brushing my teeth better because it’s a bad habit i don’t keep control over.

I was in a school or nurse environment where we were in a square room with the bathrooms were in a room around the school room we were in. Sometimes I couldn't breath so I'd go to the bathroom to catch my breath and the bathrooms were disgusting so I had to hold my pee. Later I had to get my blood taken and I was nervous

A black goat crossing a very busy road. It was autumn and I was walking beside the road with a group of people when suddenly the black goat that was with us ran out on the road. I tried to catch it so it wouldn't get injured but the goat somehow crossed to the other side without getting hit. But then it did it again, and again. Almost as if it was doing it for the thrill of it. The cars were moving fast from both directions and the goat had a few close calls. I remember feeling so scared and anxious for the animal because I didn't want it to get hit and die. I knew it would have been traumatic if I saw it happen, but I just couldn't look away, whipping my head around to make sure the goat got safely to the other side.

Road

I was at what seemed to be a very futuristic and fancy alien animal rehabilitation center. Many underwater species in tanks along the hallways, and species that look akin to Earth's animals, but with a few things different. I was sent by my mom to get a new mammal that resembled a mix of a wolf and a lynx since one of her pets passed away in the dream, so she had to get a companion for her other alive pet. I walked around anxiously as I knew nothing about the layout or what I was doing or where I was going, but felt confident enough that eventually I'd find it since I knew what the animal looked like. I got to a series of circular locked doors, each with an animal inside. As I stood a ways away from the doors, a tall professional man in a suit raced towards me and asked what I was doing there in a very unprofessional way, like he was amazed and angry that I was here. I said I was looking for a specific animal for my mom but didn't know where I was going. He said "you can't be here, this is a rehabilitation center, not an adoption shop or zoo". I said "well on the website it said some of the public can house some animals until they are able to be where they're supposed to be." He said "yeah, but there's a very specific process and paperwork that needs to be done, but not here. Also how did you get in?" I was confused by this question as there were no gates or anything stopping me from coming this far into the building, so I just kept walking. I explained this to the man. He looked behind me and sighed, and walked back the way I initially came. I found an area that had a line of people and a gate in front of them. I was unsure how that got there because I remembered when I walked in, none of that was there. He sat me down and told me to wait. I waited for a little bit but then was put into a room with sterile equipment. I asked what was going on and they said they needed my blood for testing. They poked me in a weird spot on my wrist and snaked a tube down under my skin to the middle of my wrist where my veins were. This was super painful for me, and through tears I asked why they couldn't go straight into the vein. They said that with the medical equipment they have, it would be less intrusive to the body to go around the arteries and right into a vein from the side. That seemed high illogical to me and I was practically screaming in pain. Once the long tube was out, they took me back to the waiting room. It was weird because my body didn't bruise at all nor did it hurt when I moved my wrist. Eventually the same man brought me back to the locked rooms where the animals were kept. He opened one of the rooms for the animal my mom was looking for. There were supposed to be two in there, but we only found one. The man started to panic and called for backup. When backup arrived, they found one of the lynx/wolf mixes outside of the rooms in a hallways further into the facility. They were armed with guns and riot shields, like that animal was about to be a national threat or something. I was confused because it looked so innocent and cute, even though I knew nothing about the creature. I stepped out from the crowd, and ignoring threats from the officers, I strutted towards the animal. Even though it started hissing at me, I picked it up like a cat, with its legs hanging downward and its face on my arm, and confidently carried it back to the room, even though it was heavy. Everyone else was in absolute shock but was still weary of the "dangerous" animal. Eventually the man sighed and said "I guess he likes you. Maybe you can take him home for a bit and see how it goes". I was super excited. Once I got the animal on the leash, and had paperwork headed to me, I asked the requirements of the animal (what to feed it, if it should be strictly outside or if it can be in the house too, if it will be compatible with the other dog my mom has, etc.) The man seemed annoyed and frustrated that I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I said that even though I'm unknowledgeable, that I'm a fast learner, so he can explain everything quick and I'll remember it. Half way through explaining, he sighed again, and led me to the exam room again. I was genuinely confused as to what's going on and he just asked if I wanted numbing cream this time. I said yes and he took the inside of what appeared to be bamboo and rubbed it on my arm. Then he poked my arm again and put the tube back into my wrist. Even though the bamboo helped a tiny bit, I still felt intense pain, and woke up from said pain.

I this dream I remember feeling anxious about my life and feeling stuck in my way of life. I also remember feeling like something unseen or just a dark feeling had its grasp on me. In the dream I went to my uncle Bill to try and talk with him about my feelings and to try and see how I could change or get out of whatever it is holding on to me. However while talking he told me that there wasn’t much I could do and that my bed had basically already been made. Then seen the changed and it was night and dark and cold. There was fog in the air and an unsettling feeling. I was in a big grass area surrounded by coffins that were all open. Suddenly a large figure appeared it was death himself clocked in a balck hooded cap that moved like the fog. He told me to pick one to lie in before he took me. The rest of the dream was of me just lying in coffins all different until I woke up.

The story of seeking help from my uncle and encountering death flowed logically, despite the dark themes.

Anxiety and Confrontation with Death

The dream evoked a strong feeling of anxiety and despair as I felt trapped in my life.

The intensity was high, especially when faced with the figure of death, which felt very threatening.

The presence of my uncle and the dark setting gave the dream a somewhat realistic yet surreal quality.

The dream was fairly vivid, with details like the fog and open coffins standing out clearly in my mind.

Josie, your dream reveals a profound struggle with feelings of anxiety and a sense of entrapment that are mirroring your current life experiences. The weight of this anxiety speaks to a deeper emotional turmoil that you may be navigating, particularly the pressures that seem to be mounting in your day-to-day life. The feeling of being stuck suggests that you might be facing challenges that feel insurmountable, contributing to a sense of stagnation in your personal growth and happiness.

  Seeking comfort from your uncle Bill highlights your need for support and guidance during these tumultuous times. His response—that your bed has already been made—carries a heavy weight, suggesting a sense of resignation. This could indicate that you feel trapped by your circumstances, as if change is beyond your reach. It’s a reminder that sometimes we can feel powerless against the tide of our difficulties, especially when it comes to issues like mental health or relationship strains.

  As the dream darkens and becomes enveloped in fog, it emphasizes the oppressive nature of your emotions, perhaps reflecting feelings of isolation and fear that can accompany depressive states. The presence of open coffins symbolizes not just mortality, but also the potential for transformation and the end of certain life cycles. This imagery points to your contemplation of change, the fear of stagnation, and possibly the need to confront aspects of yourself or your life that feel daunting.

  The figure of death cloaked in fog further embodies this struggle, representing the anxiety of facing what feels inevitable. His demand for you to choose a coffin suggests a confrontation with your fears and the choices you feel you must make regarding your situation. Lying in the coffins could be a metaphor for exploring different facets of your identity and existence, each representing a different path or aspect of your life that you may be grappling with. Waking up from this haunting experience might symbolize a yearning for clarity and resolution, prompting you to seek out ways to reclaim your agency in the face of overwhelming emotions.

This dream symbol alerts us to a conflict between expectation and reality.  The anxiety you feel is experienced becuase you are trying to hold onto an expectation of control when this may not be realistically possible.  This could be happening in your life today or may come from something in your past that still impacts you. Your dreams try to release unprocessed emotions left over from your day, giving them an opening to vent out so the pressure does not build up.
