House

Dream

I was in this house having a nap with 2 dogs. This little dead girl showed up claiming she was killed and to help her. My dad came in and asked why I was awake. I tried to go back to sleep but was awake so the girl showed back up and I followed her out into the wilderness. It looked like she was hunting. We ended up at her house and the mother with heaps of children were there. I realized it was her father who killed her but he was dead to. He started to attack me. It took some time as I couldn't kill him. But I realized I could hurt him by putting my hands into his body. This slowed him down and put him in pain so I tried reasoning with him to get him to stop as he was trying to keep me away from his daughter. He wasn't going to. So I suggested to the mother we burn down the house. I was on a roof top in a stand off. With two people with guns. I talked them into play a ball game instead. We started playing the ball game and I threw a ball off the roof and one of the dudes who had the gun dove off the roof after it. This girl and I were playing a line game. We were teamed up. The lines had to square the whole screen before moving on to the next screen. She stopped playing. And after a few screens I had to go back and play catch up and do her sides too.

Dream

The dream started out in this floating loft like place. I’m pretty sure it was my home. I rolled out of bed and ended up at this house/ store/ restaurant where I ran into some friends I haven’t seen since we were kids. We started hanging out in what looked like the basement area or maybe a medium sized room. I remember a small old school tv sitting on this stand. I don’t know why that is what stood out to me. After a while I had to leave next thing I know I’m in a car with my step dad. He starts yelling and screaming and hitting me. Starts burning me with a lighter on my chest and arms. The fire leaving painful blisters and burns. I manage to escape him and somehow get back to that house. I run past what I’m assuming is one of my friend moms room sobbing and to my friend in the room with the old school tv. Once again standing out. My step dad is chasing. You can feel his anger radiating through the air. You can feel his malice intent. I’m genuinely scared for my life. Next thing I know him and everything around me is vanishing into thin air and I’m in this giant office. It looks like it is high up in the sky. The walls are covered in giant glass windows. There a groups of men around me. They are telling me that my research is going well and show me a small list of people who are interested in it and how much they would pay for it. The prices ranged from $666,000 to 1 million dollars. Then I woke up

Woman

Dream

I was a women in the past, I'd say it was proud the 50s, far enough back women all wore dresses, but recent enough they could get jobs as I was starting a job at this little old museum with rickety floors, and I was taking a quick walk through the building the small building to tour it and at one point I moved a shelf of stuff on display and found a thin wooden panel and opened it and there was a man in a tiny cramped room with rations and somehow I already knew before being told that he was radioactive, so I quickly put everything back and kept it secret, but when I got back to the first floor with the men I'd be working with the one who was gonna explain the place to me had me go through a radiation detector they had (it was like a metal detector where you walk through and it's supposed to beep) so I went through knowing if I refused it'd give me away anyway and he went through right after, but it delayed the alert so they thought he had radioactivity not me and he was trying to argue that I had it but one guy said he witnessed me go through first without any beep, then suddenly I was the man behind the wall, in a little tiny room with rations, and I noticed the panel wasn't put back up so I put it back, but it kept falling because it wasn't secure, and I was thinking about how I'd need to tell someone to fix it so nobody got hurt and how I was sorry for scaring that poor lady, and the whole time I could FEEL my body burning from the inside, I thought of leaving cause I knew they'd kill me but I was dying anyway and it wasn't really a life worth living, but I'd be killing people then too so I decided not to, and the whole time I felt my insides burning out and it hurt so bad and at the end the guy keeping me in there came to check on me and I told him he'd need to fix the false wall panel and he agreed.

Death
Kidnapping

Hero

Dream

I was kidnapped and made apart of this cult that kills people that have abused them. Torture them. And then when a member of the cult dies they string them up and burn them, dancing around them to send them off. Even insulting them to try to lighten the mood. It was like a big fucked up family. They were monsters but the love and comradey was real. They loved each other in a way I didn’t think was possible. And there was this dark haired man there. Was kinda like a ninja. He was obsessed or well in love with another member and kinda bullied them for attention. But secretly they’d kill anyone who hurt the. They watch them while they slept and studied anything they liked just so they could relate to them more. He was so desperate for this persons attention he was almost driving himself crazy tho everyone in the dream already seemed a bit crazy. There was a mentor lady that everyone loved. She reminded me of Miss Hoffman. She was so smart and wise and the day she died, the ceremony they performed was so very different from there usual. They did this dance were they summoned forth every element including lighting. And when they pushed over her burial- instead of insulting her like what was natural, they all ran forward and cried at the base of her shrine. Praying for her. Wishing her every good thing and to just be able to see her once last time. She was like a hero to these souls. She gathered cruel beings, killers, bad guys. And she’d find redemption in them. She’s give loveless people a family and purpose. They loved her on a way I’m not sure I could comprehend as I don’t ever really feel loved. She was extremely powerful and No one saw her death coming. Like she “gave up” her life for something. I saw a bunch of messy love stories within the dream. The final one being, a great love between a human Witch and a great Titan Prince. He was deathly sick to the point he couldn’t open his eyes or move. His family kept tryna feed him the human. Maybe to give him strength or something but he refused each time. Literally crying. The human was terrified of him cause he was so big. She was like the size of his cheek. But she did her best to relax against his skin because he was normally completely unconscious holding her in his fist. Everytime she’s tense a little his grip on her would tight painfully. She ended up realizing that he was protective of her unconsciously and didn’t realize was was the biggest threat when he squeezed her. If she wasn’t freaking out or his brothers threatening to feed her too him- She and the giant slept like kittens. When they both slept, the Titan didn’t look so scary and monsterious anymore. More like a younger kid holding on to his only life line. And sometimes, quite rarely, she almost seemed to cuddle into his face. To get closer to his warm. 800 or so years later the Titan wakes again and this time the witch girl is the one protecting them. She put a youth spell on herself so she can try to stay with the Titan because he’s like close to immortal and she was only meant to live a human life. But she can’t hold on much longer. The Titan doesn’t say anything as he’s basically just a little kid waking from a long nap. He doesn’t get angry as he can feel how weak her energy is. All he does is try to protect and persevere what little energy she has left. But he too is weak from 800 years of a coma like sleep. Not really eating or moving. Though he’s still extremely powerful. As soon as he awaking tribes start trying to hunt the two (for some reason 🤷‍♀️) as he brings her back to the mortal realm in hopes of giving her soul a lighter existence. He feels this despair, like no matter what he does he can’t save her. And it kills him because if she goes he knows he will not smile again. People are attacking left and right and she’s visually getting weaker and weaker. Her old age catching up to her now that he’s awake and refraining his strength. He knows she will die. Now I didn’t see this next part in the dream but here’s what I think happened. I think he cast some kinda forbidden spell or something to tie there souls together and force her into reincarnation. He would find her again and when he did he’d be a man, not a child. He’d keep her for real. Now to only find and convince her of that as there old situation wasn’t exactly a friendly one and he’s not sure if he even has a likable personality. She only knew him asleep. Also a lot of the monsters in the dreams. When they died, they’d be locked in these night cages and they’d be sad and lonely till random spirits would visit then they’d get all happy and dance around in there cages. Also the Titan had a grimoire of summoning to all his old friends real selves. Kinda like in fate stay night were you could summoning forth a champion but he was strong enough to summon as many as he wanted whenever he wanted. And the human he was facing casually summoned a copy version of stalker guy from earlier in the dream. He got kinda smirky and summoned the real original that easily kicked the humans ass. It was kinda funny to watch. I was the human in the dream that hadn’t died yet. Also the Titan at first looked like this massive scary pig man with tusks and shit. But later in the dream it was like he just turned into a really large young adult guy. Considered a young child amongst his species and hers. He had long, light orange like hair and light sun kissed skin. He looked like he was surrounded by sunlight light later on. Like really pretty

Dog

Dream

A man brings a dog by the house asking if it is ours. He isn’t so we look at his collar and try to figure out who it belongs to. All of a sudden a different dog comes up and I pick it up to hold because it is small. A man comes up in a car and stops because the other dog is his and he has been looking for it. His wife walks up too and I ask them if the smaller dog I am holding is also theirs. Just then the small dog pees on me getting my shirt all wet. The lady says the dog is not hers. All this time my husband is on the phone not paying attention to what is happening. The lady says her dog is much bigger. A large black dog walk up and it a breed I have never seen. The dog is the size of an elephant. The face is different and does not have a trunk. The smaller dog that peed on me gets scared by the big dog and barks at it. I try to move the small dog away so it doesn’t get hurt. I try to get my husbands attention to look at the big dog. I ask the lady what type of dog it is and she says I should know. I tell her I w seen pictures of them in a museum but cannot remember. The large dog tries to get my husbands attention and bumps him. My husband finally looks up and is surprised. The large dog says something to my husband and they shake hands. In a different dream, I am sleeping sitting up in my room when my mom walks in asking me about a shirt. The shirt is not actually a shirt but a pillowcase. I get up so I can help my mom find a shirt and ask my mother why her walker is so far away. I ask her if she is hungry so I can fix her something to eat and she says she is heating up some green beans. She has the green beans directly on the burner not in a pan. I tell her the beans will burn that way and she says they will be fine. The beans start to get black and they are too hot to pick up to remove. She manages to get a few then shows me they are burned. She puts a few in her mouth.
