Arrows
Cow
Lion
Metal

Dream

I dreamt that I was a male lion, in a pack of 3 other male lions. We were above a hay bale, with 4 cows hiding inside. After several attempts at roaring and pounding the hay bale, the cows came out running. I chased after one and grappled onto its back, clawing and biting at it. Although, I was unable to do any real damage to the cow. Eventually, I was a human, having the cow trapped in a metal contraption that kept it locked in place. I encountered a guy from my high school chatting up another girl from my high school, asking to borrow a metal bow and arrow he had. I then use it to repeatedly shoot arrows into the cow’s skull, yet the cow remains alive. The arrows only make it suffer more and more.

Dream

Waning Cresent Moon So in my dream tonight, I’m back at the magic Academy and I, along with many others, have to complete a bunch of life or death challenges. For whatever bs reason. Lol I had 2 familiars, a dog and a cat. But they weren’t really a dog and a cat more like magical creatures with extreme agility and super powers. Both used flames during the dream. I think the dog was a hell hound. Black and spooky looking-super cool. The cat was obviously wayyy more powerful than the dog. Anyways the first challenge consisted of us running at a slightly slanted wall, laying completely down and sliding up it while a ball (much like a bowling ball but way heavier) was flung at our heads. We were supposed to dodge it lol. Wait no we were supposed to redirect the weight so we wouldn’t get crushed. Another challenge was arrows kept shooting out of this tunnel and I was supposed to figure out how to go down it. Anyways long story short, I was struggling hardcore and dog familiar decided to take pity on me and show me how it worked by stepping in the line of fire. Apparently the arrows were a trick of the air and we could easily walk through the tunnel. Anyways there’s a lot more trials like this but I can’t seem to remember the rest. The doggo used Blue flames while the cat used red 🤪✨

Dream

There was a man who saw the illusive upright walking chimpanzees. When they saw home they chased him he was atop some trees with some sort of platforms. They were walking on the ground and they had bows and arrows. They started shooting arrows at the man when they saw he had seen them they chased him from the ground but as the man ran atop of the trees toward a more populated area fear of being seen they eventually stopped following him. Myself and a group of us who were members of a men's married group of men attempting to repair their marriages were invited. Some of us went. We got to the part of the African continent where the tribe in the area was familiar with these chimpanzees. When we got to the meet area they showed us what these chimps would grow to eat. It was type of grape that grew cheese inside it. Some of were taken to the top of the trees on platforms where we could watch the dance celebration presentation. I was at the top and I could see the people down on the ground and there were University professors and other scientists that studied this area of science and wildlife. I at some of these Grapes with Cheese and they were very good. I at a lot of them with Ritz Crackers. After I had climbed down to the ground. As I walked in front of one of my group members he notified me he was not going to go on the search and he gave me one of his box of menthol cigarettes he had brought along and he was trying to figure out how and who to give the rest of them to.

Dream

I was on a journey . I remember being in a mall or something . There was a recurring scene I kept playing but it was about self-discovery. I remember getting food it was crackers and Brie cheese . Then the dream was like a board game . But super positive I would be walking following the arrows and while walking in red I saw all my self doubt and negative words I tell myself when I got to the destination it was filled with love and words of love and worthiness. It was warm and pure bliss . Then I would have to navigate this board which would have though areas of sadness and rooms with word that were angry and sad but the arrows always showed me where to go for the safety and love . It was like I was navigating life and I know I would always get to the safe rooms no matter the scary and angry rooms

Dream

I’m going to school in the morning. I have the choice to drive my car or take the school bus, I decide to walk to the bus stop and take the bus. I go in the school bus and sit, I see a few familiar faces. The bus struggle to go because of a snow storm. Eventually I get to school. I struggle to find my classes. I find my class and I’m told I have to sit in the front. As the teacher is explaining things I’m not understanding anything, she’s going too fast. It’s a math class, I don’t understand math. The teacher is very strict I don’t like her, I never finish my assignment. The class finishes, I go to lunch. I get my food and sit alone. school is over so I go home. At home I’m with my family. They want to go somewhere but I wanna stay home. I atleast wanna take my own car if we go out, but they make me go in their car. As we’re in the car the car struggles to move because of a snow storm. I’m frustrated I’m in this position, I don’t want to be on the roads when it snows. The dream changes and I’m in a different setting. I’m with my two friends, kaira and Dylan. Kaira is my best friend, Dylan is my ex. Kaira wants us to all have a sleepover. I’m reluctant but I agree. I have a hard time sleeping, I keep switch sides next to kaira and next to Dylan. I also can’t find the pillow. The tv is on while I’m trying to sleep and it bothers me. Then a bunch of kittens come in the room and they’re crawling all over me, but I like kittens so it’s ok. I can’t fall asleep so I decided to go outside. Dylan comes with me outside. There’s a war going on outside and I get shot in the head with an arrow. I get shot multiple times with arrows all going through my mouth into my head. I go back inside with arrows in my head, hoping they’ll see and help. I can’t talk but I need to go to the hospital. No one understands what I need, even with arrows in my heads no one is helping. I have to pull the arrows out myself. After the arrows are out I put an ice cube in my mouth to numb the pain, but I can’t move my mouth, it’s as if my face is paralyzed. I feel helpless.

Dream

I don’t remember the beginning or the end. But I was in some random place, and I have no idea what I was doing or who I was with. But I do remember there being giant fluffy cows everywhere. And I got so excited when I saw all the cows and I was freaking out about how cute they were. And I got to pet and hug a bunch of them. And then some deer showed up. And I walked into this house and there were monkeys. And I thought I saw a giraffe, but it ended up being a weird creature, and people were trying to kill it because it was evil. It came running down the stairs at me, and was bloody because it had a bunch of white arrows in its back/ all over its body. And I had to run down the stairs and out the front door to get it outside. And then it died out there and I was so relieved. And the fluffy cows all left. And I was super sad about it.

Dream

this dream took place at mawmaw and papas house. there was a bunch of poepe in it about my age, and the house was huge. like it was as big as a castle. i don’t remember much of what happened, but i know me and a friend of mine in the dream (i’ve never met this person in the waking world) got captured from the gta world and put into mawmaw and papas house. we had to play games to escape the house. idk what happened next i can’t remember but i remember both of us befriending everyone, and the last game we played was deadly. if we didn’t finish in time, the house was gonna explode. everyone but the people in old papas room, something caught fire. everyone ran out of the house, but i tried running upstairs to save those people trapped in that room. i hid behind a wall trying to use my bow and arrows to set the water sprinkler off, and it wasn’t working. someone i befriended in that room yelled “ITS TOO LATE, DONT WORRY ABOUT US. YOU GOTTA GO!!”. the bars to that room started going up, i just sat and cried watching everyone catch on fire and burn in there. i sat there until the room exploded. i got flung back, i had burns on my arm from attempting to save that friend. the pattern of the burn was her tattoo which made me cry even more. i hurried down stairs while the bomb ticking was going off, i was being flung around, and i finally made it to the door. i saw the blasy hurling down the stairs, and i threw myself out the door to the back yard. everyone including my friend was there, i wasn’t as far out as them, but they saw the flame coming out the door. i was on my stomach and turned around, saw the flame, and heard my friend yell “TAKE COVER WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”. i laid back on my stomach, hands over my head and ears, and the final blast set the entire house to a blaze. i got thrown into the crowd from the blaze. my friend caught me, i forgot to mention i think this was my girlfriend because we were having romantic interactions the entire time. she held me in her arms, crying with me and everyone else out there. i looked at my burn of my friends tattoo from in the house, and just bawled. my girlfriend sat me up, held my face, and said “shh it’s okay. we’re gonna be fine. it’s just us now. i promise i’ll do anything i can to protect you.”. i looked up at her and kissed her. and she said “just us now?”. and i said “yes, just us.”. we somehow needed up at the beach in the ocean, beautiful sunset, and in our bikinis. she took my top off, then hers, and we made out in the ocean. my burn was still there at the end, it was all black so it ended up looking like a tattoo. i still had burns and scars, but not as bad when i got out of the house. i just remember feeling so loved when we started kissing in the ocean. i felt peace like everything was gonna be okay.

Dream

There were three alligators swimming in a room and the door would not close properly. I was afraid my cats were going to go in the room and be eaten. I tried boarding the door up but it didn't work. I had to use all my strength to keep it closed. Then, I started a new job at an Autism center. In real life, i worked in this field for 5 years, earning a masters and a behavior analyst certification (bcba). I quit my job 2 years ago because of burn out. In my dream, i was new in an entry-level role and saw one of my old staff members, i was embarrassed to tell him i was an RBT (entry level) instead of a BCBA (director level). I pushed with some of the kids before my trainer met with me. I could tell she was really burnt out. I then was in a castle and there was a ship outside that was attacking the castle. I ran outside to see burnt bodies, some dead some alive. I gathered people in the castle to come help move the injured people back inside. At one point i had to shoot three arrows at the posters to determine what kind of hero i was going to be. I missed all of them.

Dream

Where to start? I had a dream that reminded me a lot of Narnia. I was the daughter of an Indian family that held a very dark secret from our ancestors. It was such an intricate dream, but I remember there was a prophecy I wasn't told. I lived my life normal as a child, going to school and stuff, when out of nowhere, one day, these people broke into our house with weapons and looking for someone or something. I had like two or three siblings and I was the youngest, and my mom and dad just took all of us and they brought us to like this basement room that was ultra secret and safe. Except it wasn't and it couldnt protect us from the bad people, our parents hugged us and then they told something to my older sister and brother, they were whispering but I could see they kept looking back at me. When my parents left, they fought the bad people to give us a chance to escape. We escaped successfully, and we just kept running and running away through a forest when we heard an explosion. Huge, loud, destructive. Our house and our parents were officially gone. We didn't let that stop us, I tried to go back but my older siblings didn't let me. After running and walking for hours, we arrived at this medieval looking place, like a kingdom that was gated and protected. When we approached the huge doors, they wouldn't let us in until my older sister said "We are the prophecy, and it has started." At last they opened the doors and we went inside. It seemed like its own world away from technology, and the city. But they had weaponry, food, clothes, everything you can imagine but as if from the Indian medieval times. We stayed there for a while, less than a week. I kept asking questions that no one would answer, and it'd make me mad. My siblings didn't take me seriously and I missed my parents. One day when we were sleeping, in the middle of the night a fire started. It woke the whole village up. Screams, heat, light, smoke. They were shooting fire arrows over the walls and gate to us, starting to burn all the buildings one after the other. Everyone was running and screaming. My siblings were trying to stay together and navigate to an exit, but we didn't know the place at all. At last, the bad people were able to enter the kingdom and brought down the gates. It started a horrific genocide whilst they were looking for US, or more specifically, me. In the midst of the chaos and fear, I ran away from my siblings to a hiding spot. All I remember is them screaming "come back we have to stay together!" But I was so scared. I somehow was able to get out of the kingdom through a back door, back into the forest. It was still incredibly dark, but the light from the fire allowed me to see a little. I wanted to wait for my siblings but didn't. I started wandering into the forest when it got really quiet, and I heard heavy steps besides my own. I started running, and I could feel something was chasing me. Tears came out of my eyes and when I closed them, I hit something hard that stopped me, and made me fall onto the floor. When I opened my eyes, a lion was over me, looking at me. I started screaming out of fear when the lion put his paw on my mouth, looked around us quickly and then he started speaking! "Do not fear. It's paramount that I take you to safety." He reminded me a lot of Aslan from the movie Narnia, and I think that's who he was supposed to be. I got on his back and we left. Morning came by, the forest was awakening when I asked him "what's happening?" And he just said "patience." Finally we arrived at another place that was secured and isolated, and looked very similar to the other Kingdom, except this one looked more like camp grounds or something. Everyone was Indian. Aslan let me down and I walked next to him, everyone that would notice us would stop and bow at us. I didn't understand. I couldn't find my siblings either. . . We arrived to a place a bit away from everyone, when my siblings came out of a tent running to me. I was so happy I cried, and hugged everyone. They got mad at me for running away, but then Aslan interrupted saying "we're all safe that's all that matters". Then out of nowhere, he started digging on a spot on the dirt, and retrieved a chest. He wanted to tell us something, but someone announced the enemy was coming! Horns started sounding, and Aslan looked at me and said "you are the prophecy, just trust your gut. Now get out of here." He took my older brother and gave him a weapon, and he jumped on his back and they both started running away towards the danger. My sister grabbed the chest, and my other older sister grabbed me and we all started running but I was so curious of what was inside. I stopped all of us so I could open the chest and see what was inside, they kept telling me no don't do it, but I did. I could see the contents but couldn't understand... It was pictures of me as a child with my family, except it was a different family altogether in all the pictures. They were all different families but I was in all of the pictures over and over again. I was so shocked, I felt like I was starting to understand the prophecy when my alarm woke me up and that's the end.
