🧭 Direction

Career

Is there anything in your waking life affecting you, making you doubt yourself? If this is the case, then instead of avoiding, defend yourself. Confront the issues and situations you are avoiding in your real life. You must look around your own behaviours and surroundings and work to eliminate the factors that give you emotional strain.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of an attack can evoke a range of intense emotions such as fear, vulnerability, and anxiety. It may leave the dreamer feeling overwhelmed, helpless, and on edge. The sense of danger and impending harm can create a deep sense of unease and distress. The dreamer may also experience a surge of adrenaline and a heightened sense of alertness. The attack symbolizes a threat to one's safety and well-being, triggering a strong emotional response. The feelings associated with this dream can linger long after waking, leaving the dreamer with a lingering sense of unease and a need for reassurance.

Stadium

Dream

I was outside of a football stadium. I was in a big room with glass walls and there were several other people in the room with me. I was looking at the stadium and seen people running out and away out of fear. I immediately sensed danger so I turned around and tried to run away. I made it a few steps before I felt my body being pierced. I had been shot. I was seeking medical attention but had no luck. I was told to wait and they would get to me eventually. I don’t remember seeing blood. I just felt this intense pain and the bullet was lodged into my skin like an object pressed into clay. I couldn’t get any medical attention and I was just crying and saying I already have fractured my spine once, I can’t have another back injury. I remember saying this several times as well as seeking attention several times but having no luck. In real life I have fractured my spine a few months back so the lingering pain may have manifested in my dream.

Attack
Boy

Dream

I’m sitting outside and there are a lot of different people from the neighborhood outside too. We notice a hole in the ground near the sidewalk. A young boy is sitting near it looking at it. I go over to try to see what he is looking at and then see nothing. After a while I see small strange creatures crawling from the hole. Nobody else sees them except me and the small boy. There are three of them crawling around and the boy looks frightened. Something tells me that I need to kill them because they are evil. I find a tool of some type and start to attack the creatures they start to run from me but I am able to pierce them. They face very sharp teeth and someone tells me they’re demons. I gather them up to get rid of them. When I return. The hike in the ground is much bigger than before which is puzzling. The group of people that I see gathered around are drinking and talking socially. They are not bothered by what has happened.

Apartment

Dream

It was the day before the court trial date against my abusive ex-boyfriend. I was in this unknown apartment with several of my friends but in my waking life I don't know these friends. Cam and several men knocked on my door. I noticed it was him and I tried to call 911 because he's not supposed to be contacting me as that's again the criminal and civil restraining order. But he started to break through the door with an ax. My friends and I started to brace ourselves and find a way out but there was no way out. Finally he broke in and a full on violent fight started to happen between his crew and me and my friends. It was violent and he was attempting to kill us. Somehow someway with barely any weapons we were able to fight and kill the crew he brought. Later on we noticed my abusive ex was fighting with one of my friends in a closet. She was able to beat him and kill him. But we then realize he made himself 3 clones to attack us. Two of his clones got back into the house and me and friends work together to beat him and killed them. We then called 911. Then the real version of Cam (my abusive ex) came in and took his car key that somehow had in my hands but he wasn't violent I think its because tomorrow was the trial safe and he couldn't do anything to me. I left the place and connected with the cops and finally felt a little bit of security despite them not making it to help us. I soon realized my true security and support system was my friends who was there fighting with me at the apartment. Later on I had another dream where I was walking into an indoor/outdoor dog park. And while I was walking in with my dog Diesel. I bumped into two different set of guys who was jokingly but seriously telling me they were going to kidnap Diesel. I told them that's never going to happen and I picked him and held him tightly as I continued on. They followed me and lost them a bit. When I got into dog park several of my friends was in there and I told them what happened and was nervous that they were going to take him. I didn't feel comfortable letting Diesel out to play so I decided to go back to my car a different way I came in and a few of my friends joined me to help me out and the dognappers found us and attempted to take Diesel and my friends and I secured him in our hands while passing him around and finally lost the dognappers and I got back to safety with Diesel but while leaving I was still scared about what I can do cause they can find me and him and again and try to dognap I was so anxious about losing Diesel that I woke up and told Diesel to come closer to me on my bed to feel certain he was safe. In another dream my friends and I bumped into a handsome south asian guy that I think was our coworker but I'm pretty sure he’s a famous actor in real life. We were all walking and this black girl he started dating reconnected with him during the walk and he was so excited to see her and they flirted and kissed and we all swooned about their budding romance. I was so happy for them and I love that their interracial relationship was between two people of color. Seeing them made me hopeful for my own romantic and dating life. Potentially hopeful I will date a guy similar to him very handsome but also humble, sweet and gets nervous when he sees the person he’s dating because he is so excited to see her and connect with her.

School

Dream

I had a dream where I was In a place that seemed to be a mall, but there was sections to go and one of them was for school. When I had to go to school, I would go to all my classes but at end of each class, we would have to go out of the school section and into the plaza of the mall in the middle. And after we stayed there, we would have to go to an elevator and choose to go to a strange place. 2 towers and we were assigned to each be 2 teams and try to defend our towers. I wasn't playing but I did get attacked. There were times where i just walked out because there was stuff in my last period classrooms that I left behind accidentally. And anytime I came back, I had to catch up with my present period class with a handful of stuff. It made me feel stressed. There were randomly times throughout classes where we had to go to an elevator to go to some random country, like China, tagayaga, and Japan. And when we arrived, we would have to go to schools or a hotel to work. Those two were places we needed to go but someone suggested or wanted to go to China. But it was different from the other ones, they practiced some sort of martial arts outside with red and black tombs around them with Chinese decorations around. A teacher was teaching that class and when him and that student locked eyes, it was said that the person had to fight the teacher. Before they could fight, I was dragged back into the elevator by the other students to go back but had to leave the other student fighting the teacher in China. We had to go back to the tower teams and I made a mistake. Before i cluld get in trouble, the bell rang and that's when we were all being dismissed. But all of a sudden, I was in a nice white mansion with my mother, step dad, aunts and family there. I didnt recognize the place but i did with my family. While they were there, my mom was there telling my aunts something which left them shocked and looking concerned. When I tried to ask what happened, they looked at me but turned back. None of them told me and acted like I wasn't there. It left me worried and upset. That's when they all headed to the kitchen, covering my mom and that's when I saw one of them was holding a baseball bat with plastic around it. My step-dad and other family members stayed in the dining room while I peeked to the side of the wall to watch what's going on in the kitchen. The lights were off but that didn’t stop me from seeing what was going on. My mom had a big belly to indicate that she was pregnant, it looked all distorted and way too big to be just one. She wanted my aunt to swing the bat over against her belly, killing the baby inside her. The more my aunt hit, the more my mother's belly would deflate. The baby's feet would be shown from inside her belly, kicking and screaming out of pain. My mom cried and complained about the pain she felt when it kicked, and ordered for her to swing more. That's when she saw me and didn't even bother to explain. I asked what happened, but all she said was " I don't want it." And I was panicking so I just grabbed a bat too and started swinging it against her belly. It looked all red and swollen and it hurt to look at it. That's when I heard crying from a baby and I heard wet noises, that's when I ran out of the kitchen, closed my ears and covered my eyes. After a few minutes i opened them, her stomach still looked to be swollen and she just sat down in defeat. I kept asking her repeatedly but she wouldn't even answer me and it took me beg for her to tell me while there were family members surrounding her. She finally told me and said "who do you think?" I looked at my step-dad and i turned to see that she was staring too, making it aware that he was the father. I felt sick to my stomach and before my aunts could continue to punch her stomach, her belly started to stretch distortedly and ahd started screaming. I was scared that she was gonna die from giving birth and I tried to help and engage with her but all she did was ignore me and go to my step-dad. That's when my dream ended.

Explosion
House

Dream

In my Dream I was lifting weights outside my house and the weights were really light because I was so strong. All the sudden a plane in the shape of a machine gun was in the sky on fire close by my house and in slow motion it hit a close by house and exploded. The explosion was huge and I had trouble getting my mom to go into the house because the explosion was bigger than She thought and I knew it would be big .other near by houses started to explode and I knew we were under attack. The windows in my house exploded but the house was still standing. I finally got my mom and I inside the house and I went up stairs to grab my son who was asleep. I grabbed him and he woke up. I grabbed him so we could run to escape. Outside I grabbed a tarp and covered my car and hid underneath my car, this way no one could see us hiding underneath from near by soldiers trying to get us. When they pulled off the tarp of my car they were standing next to my car so they didn’t see us underneath it. They searched inside my car and inside my house and assumed we left. When they started to walk away we slowly got out from underneath my car because we knew once they were far enough away they would see us under the car. We slowly snuck back to the back yard and hid inside the grape tree/vine. We took off our clothes that way they would not see the bright colors from out shirts and our skin would blend in with the branches. This kept us well hidden and we hid inside this tree until the soldiers were gone. Once they were gone we got backpacks and started packing essentials to survive on the land.
