🧭 Direction

Bad omen

Find what or who it is that has grown to an unhealthy size, consuming your life and taking over your happiness. Then, take care of it immediately by either isolating it or eradicating it from your life. You may find it difficult and painful to cut it away completely. However, it is necessary and will save you in the long run.

❤️ Feelings

This dream may evoke feelings of fear, uncertainty, and vulnerability. Cancer is often associated with illness and the potential for loss, which can create a sense of anxiety and unease. It may also bring up emotions related to mortality and the fragility of life. However, it is important to remember that dream interpretations are subjective and can vary based on personal experiences and beliefs.

Dream

I ran into a dark giant factory that was taking dead humans and turning them into the food that we eat. I knew that by eating the dead people that's going to give anyone who eats it cancer. On the way to the factory I had to travel through a field that had traps so I had to watch my step

Dream

I was going out to eat at an Italian restaurant with my cousin Jason. He made a reservation. When we got there the place was rows of picnic tables pushed together to make lines of long tables where everyone gathers together to share a meal. Something old friends of mine were there like Tyler. I couldn't find Jason though. I went to the bathroom and my dad called me and I somehow was given a folder. I opened it up and it had a ton of tiny notes and a anatomical drawing of some humanoid creature that looked like Davey Jones from pirates of the Caribbean 2 I think. But for some reason I knew that it really meant that Kim didn't have cancer anymore. I guess inthe dream she had cancer but that it was cured. I saw her at the table and said hi and sat down they mentioned that i seemed all emotional and I was but I told them something like well, it's a big deal or something.

Dream

I had a group of friends that I worked with. We were very close. The first part of the dream took place at the health facility that they all worked at. At first I was alone in a waiting area with my bag of food. Then I met the one guy that worked or was studying like an intern or something. We walked from the waiting area to the lunch room/lounge area. The facility was well landscaped and a modern structure. Once inside, there were 3-4 older women and 1-2 younger ones in the lounge. We were all very friendly. I had ice cream, while they had other food. One of the older women had cancer. She had lost all of her hair. I asked each person what they did at the healthcare facility. But don’t recall their responses. In the next part of the dream, I was home in JP and the male student came over. I was thrilled to have him there. I hadn’t been home long when he arrived so I still had to unpack my bags from lunch and from the day. My room was a little messy, so I didn’t want him to go in there. We settled in the living room and the kitchen and talked. Then I was in a long laundry room in the basement and I saw a woman who was butt naked on the bottom because she had put her undies in the laundry. Her butt was quite protruding. I bunch of lesbian woman were gathering in the laundry room as well. I know some of them and had a crush on others. Back upstairs in my apartment, my male friend was showing me pictures from his bag. One was the woman that I had seen from the back in the laundry room. I recognized her butt! We were trying to find Resident Alien and another alien show on TV when a couple of the work women arrived. . The apartment kept transforming between my E. Cottage Street home in Dorchester and the JP place. When the other 2 women arrived, they wanted to watch TV too. And that’s when the house transformed. I had a TV in grandmas E. Cottage living room on the side that grandpa used to sit on. And then there was one in what the den of our 1st floor unit of E. Cottage Street. The male was using the den TV. But they were side by side. I explained that it would be noisy with two TV’s going and that’s when I noticed he had put on headphones. The ladies wanted to watch CNN. Somehow the cable separated from the wall. I went to fix it and when I turned around (back in JP now), they were gone. My male friend had left his bag, which I was carrying strapped across my body when John arrived home. The bag was empty and I was looking for a number so I could call him. Once at home John was getting ready to go on a cruise alone. I told him that my friends had come over and I was excited about that. Then the dream was filled with all of the women from the healthcare facility and a few kids and we were in between the JP apartment and the healthcare facility. One little black girl who was about 9 years old told her little white friend to was her hands because the white friend smelled like pee pee. The white girl was embarrassed. John was trying to figure out where the bedrooms on the floor above us lined up with our apartment. This was perplexing to him. Finally, standing naked, he asked me if he needed a trim around his private parts for the cruise. I was surprised that he was asking this with the women in our apartment. I said yes.

Cancer
Angry at mom
Blind

Airplane
Bathroom

Dream

First I was told that it had cancer and that I would go blind. I was on an airplane and i couldn’t get off because I couldn’t see. I was in a wheelchair and someone came to push me off the airplane to the airport and I went crazy screaming because I wasn’t sure who it was. Then I kept dreaming the same scene like it was on a loop. I kept trying to tell my husband I had cancer. Once the phone rang and he answered it and the person on the phone told him so when he hung up he was crying. Once I told him and he wouldn’t listen to me. The next time we were in the waiting room at the hospital and the nurse or someone who worked there announced it in the waiting room. That time my husband got really angry at me for some reason and we left the hospital and went home. At that point the dream changed and I was in a feud between two rival gangs. I was the son of one gang leader (strange because I’m a woman in real life) and a rival gang leader’s son had just been killed. He blamed our gang and as retribution he was going to kill me. There was a shootout and I ran into a building. The only place I could hide was in a bathroom stall. I realized this was stupid when I went in the bathroom but it was too late to turn around because my attackers were close behind. I decided to try to climb on top of the stall and get into the ceiling tiles but it was too late. The other gang had found me. They were closing in and that woke me up!

Dream

I had a dream that I lived in a real house in a town like Westchester, Pennsylvania. And I had just saw on social media that one of the people that I follow on Instagram, but not really friends with in real life, had just got released from the hospital, but they didn't have great news. It said that they had acute patriotic cancer. So I walked over about four houses down the block and knocked on the door and it happened that Ashley Clark and Jared had lived there. And I went up and I told them that they see the news that our mutual friend had got bad news and I'd like to pray for them. So we all stood up and started trying to pray. We grabbed hands and formed a circle and started praying. My little cousin was there and she couldn't keep a straight face, so she kept interrupting the prayer. So we ended up having her sit down and then we continued the prayer. And then we walked outside and Ashley started talking about needing help making her wedding favors. And then she told us that she needed them done by a certain time because she reserved the restaurant that allowed us to do that for a certain amount of time.

My crush
Doctor

Dream

My dream was about me auditioning for a small part in a live tv show. I was getting ready for the part and then I realized some of my scalp was showing so I tried to hide it with the rest of my hair, it worked for the most part. You see I have a hair disease and no one knows where it came from, my doctors are still trying to figure it out. So I was just about to head out when I heard yelling, both of the actors who play the main characters were yelling at each other, you see they were dating in real life and on tv, but it looked like they were going to break up. The girl named Bridget but in the show is named gale, ran out and told one of the stage helpers to let the produce know she’s not coming back. I sort of opened the door and walked by the boy, his name is Tyler but in the show he’s Bryan, I walked a little fast and he looked at me strange. I went out on stage and saw the guy whisper in the producers ear about “gale” gone, he was really angry and freaking out. Then he noticed me and asked why I was there and I said for the auditions and that I wanted to be one of the extras in the show, then he noticed my hair which everyone always does and asked one of the makeup artists to put a wig on me so he could see me better, he put a black wig on when I’m a brunette. I asked him why but he didn’t answer, he gave me a scoot and told me to try it out, it went well. The producer was thinking and whispering to the other judges, he smiled and said I was going to be the new “gale” which I freaked out because that’s a main role and I’m not so great at being in front of the tv all of the time. I told him that and he said that I wasn’t going to be gale cause I didn’t look anything like her but that I was going to become Bryan’s new friend/girlfriend instead and that we were going to let Tyler know now. They took my wig off and he was shocked and didn’t like the plan at all, he didn’t like how I looked at all and that he didn’t even know me at all either. The producer gave us a week to get to know each other more and Tyler still didn’t like the idea and he went with it. A couple days later he told me that he might know a way to fix my hair but wasn’t sure if it would work and if he was allowed to use it. Turns out his father has this cream that he uses to make sure his hair doesn’t fall out since he’s getting old. He brought me to his house and introduced me to his mom and she was astounded that he brought a girl home, turns out he never brought Bridget to his house before, right away she thought that I was his girlfriend. I hid behind him cause I got really shy and embarrassed when she said that, Tyler explained to her what the situation was and asked where his dad was. His mother told him he’s in his den like always, turns out his father was a scientist and loved to make things that weren’t invented yet. We went down there and I asked Tyler if it was ok to be in his den, he said hopefully he doesn’t get mad about it. I saw him and his things I was shocked they were so cool, Tyler asked his dad about the cream while I hid behind him again then he told me to show him my predicament and then let us try and use it, Tyler’s father let us know that it should work in a couple hours. Tyler and I just hung out around the house talking and I was fidgeting the whole time cause I was shy and his house was really big. After a couple hours I was told to go wash my hair and see if it worked. It truly did work and I was so excited I accidentally hugged Tyler and his father which made me blush completely, the mother was freaking out excited because I hugged Tyler and she whispered in Tyler’s dads ear and then Tyler’s ear. Tyler started to blush and said that he didn’t know me very much yet, I grabbed his arm and asked him what they were talking about but he said to mind my own business so I let go and went to look in the mirror again. The next couple days before the first show I was going to be in I was having panic attacks and my mom was worried about me so she said maybe I shouldn’t do it but I had already said yes and I need to try and get out of my shell. I went to Tyler’s house everyday and we talked a lot and told each other things about ourselves which helped each other laugh. Behind us was Tyler’s parents just smiling and hoping we would get together because turns out Tyler hasn’t been this way in a long time, Tyler’s parents told me that and I then kind of hoped he would ask me out. We did our first show I kind of messed up a little bit where I stopped to think about my next line but managed to get through the whole show. Tyler lifted me up and said that I was great and he said he was surprised that I did good on the first day. The producer came over and said he was happy and asked if I could do it now for the rest of the show and I said yes. When we went back to our makeup rooms Tyler and I were giggling then he stopped for some reason, he hugged me really tight and it was surprising because it was usually me who hugged him first. He offered to take me back to his place again because I guess it was a fancy dinner night. After food he showed something I hadn’t seen yet and it was on a balcony which I’m not good with heights so I was kind of scared, he asked me to take his hand and then showed me the coolest thing ever which I was like crying. I turned around to say thank you and he then asked me if I’d be his girlfriend which then my mouth was like to the ground shocked because I thought he was just getting to know me cause the producer told him too cause at first he didn’t like me at all. I said sure that would be nice and then he kissed me.

Dream

I had a dream about work last night. I had a dream that me and my manager, who is the director of specialist care, were having meetings with people. I turned up to this building and it was like a school. And the director was already in there and she was chatting to staff and she handed me a load of printed paper, which I believe were meetings from the last time she spoke to them. And she was just doing recap meetings. And she had a computer on so I was taking notes from what I could hear. And I don't know if I ran out of paper but I started writing the notes down my leg. And then these people came in and the people she was having meetings with on the computer were actually there. So she was kind of chatting to them. And then there were some people that were quite upset. So she took them off and was chatting to them. And I was kind of sat in this room just kind of trying to tidy up my notes. And then it got to a stage where I thought I probably need to leave. It's getting quite late. It's quite far away from home. So I went to this other room and this woman that she was talking to was upset. And my boss, Kate, was kind of trying to make her feel better. She hit up and I kind of got in with that. I was trying to say positive things, cheer her up. And it turns out this lady had had cancer. And she felt like life was hopeless. And we were trying to tell her that she should come through the other side. And actually she's been given a second chance. She started to feel a little bit better. And then these people came in. And one person was so tall, they literally had to bend over to be in the room. They were probably like, I don't know, three times the height of a normal person. They were trying to get stuff out of the fridge. And this lady that had cancer, she said, oh, let's go in the other room. And she took me in the other room and she was laughing. And she goes, oh, at least I'm not that tall. Anyway, we were chatting and then other people I work with come in. And Kate was off at the front talking to somebody and passed her out and was like, ah, she knows everybody. And I said, yeah, I think it's amazing how she knows everybody's name. And she went, oh, yeah, but some people will be easy like that guy. And my boss was talking to, I think he's like an Indian guy at the front of the class. She goes, that's Bakery. Everybody knows the dollies. Everybody knows that. And I was like, that's not a very nice thing to say. And I ended up chatting to her and saying, oh, I didn't know everybody's name in the office when I started working there. And that was our office. And I didn't know anybody. And she knows everybody's name. I think it's brilliant. And I was trying to walk through the classrooms to try and find this lady with cancer. And there were just people everywhere just sat there. And then Kate came through and she said, oh, we can go. We can go and get something to eat soon. She said there's a good place up the road that does free refills on drinks. And everybody else started to go because they had to catch a plane back to where they were going and we were right there. Catholic Airport. That was it.

Dream

I dreamed that I went to the hospital to see if I was sick before I went on a trip. To my surprise the doctor checked my lymph nodes and saw they were hugely inflamed. She seemed extra concerned. Then my tongue started falling out in pieces. She asked me to show her my tongue which was abnormal looking. Then the doctor explained to me that deep inside my lung was something known as a “Goin”. A cancerous wound that leaks infection into my lymph nodes. The only way for to have a chance was to have an expensive surgery. Just then the rest of my tongue falls out. The doctor continues to explain that even if the surgery won’t save me it will save others. Then as I am waiting on my surgery people from my school begin to tell me that this is the results of me turning my back on God and I had been visited by a banshee informing me of my impending death and eternity spent in hell. I threatened to push them down the stairs and kill them since I was going to hell soon anyways.
