Dream

my daughter, her father and i all went to work with him. he works as a housekeeper. this is our first time going to work with him. when we got there, he took us in one of the rooms. He had to clean and let us sit on the couch and watch movies while he worked. we watched a whole movie and he stayed in the back rooms cleaning. he came out and said somebody was about to come in. I asked him if we needed to get up and leave so he could do his job and he said no it’s OK. Stay here. They’re just gonna be moving their things in. as we watched TV I could hear people at the door coming to move their things into the hotel room. it was a woman and two baby girls who were around three and four years old. the woman went to the back room to load her things into the closet. for some reason, I understood it was a hotel room, but she was taking my things out of my closet. her father, my fiancé spent some time in one of the rooms back there while she was loading the closet. then her father came in and told me that there was bad news and we had to move. for some reason, I was devastated as if we had to leave our actual home, almost like I forgot it was a hotel room at his job that he was cleaning. I started to get up and pack things out of the kitchen. then he said never mind. It’s OK we can stay. when I saw the lady I smiled and said hi. I also saw her kids and told them they were so cute. my fiancé said our daughter and I are OK to sit down on the couch again, and watch movies. the other kids gravitated to the couch as well. then, eventually, my fiancé, a.k.a. my daughter’s dad came and sat sit on the couch too. I noticed he pulled out his gaming system and started playing games on the TV from his PlayStation and got super confused. I asked him how are you allowed to play your games right now when you are working. he said no, it’s fine. I’m done with this room just waiting for my next and then we will move. I walked towards the kitchen, and the lady came into the kitchen to start cooking something for her kids and I looked over and told her her hair was pretty. she gave me a dirty look and I said do you do hair, I need my hair done. she said no very rudely and walked off. I looked at my fiancé, confused and walked back over to the couch with him, my daughter, and her kids just waiting to leave the hotel room at this point . I could see in a mirror where the lady was in one of the rooms, and saw her plop on the bed. her kids ran back there with her and jumped on their bed to be with their mommy. as I sat on this couch of a hotel room at my husband’s work with my child, waiting for his next room to come available for him to clean, her kids ran back in the living room and started hugging my fiancé. my fiancé gave them hugs kiss them on their forehead like they were his kids. at that point I was like what the actual fuck is going on. he looked at me and said I thought it would work. I said what the fuck do you mean you thought it would work. at that point, it dawned on me that he had a second life and tried to bring us together. I was pissed. I immediately started balling my eyes out and getting me and my daughters things together to leave. he stayed on the couch, playing his game with a small smirk, and an attitude like oh well. me and my daughter started leaving and walking down the stairs at the hotel as I’m crying and everybody in the hotel was leaving at that point. my fiancé, the woman, and her kids were walking far behind us to go to a car I imagine. I just bawled my eyes out, crying, walking towards my car with my daughter. and then I woke up.

Forest

Dream

I dreamt I was an Arab or Middle Eastern young woman and I was with another young woman like me. We were in our 20s. We both had boyfriends who were also Arab or Middle Eastern. I think we went on a double date together then we got separated. The dream transitioned to me being at an unknown house, that I knew was my home. I was sitting in my living room with a small child, who I felt was my daughter. Then my front door opened and my boyfriend or lover who I got separated from, was walking toward my front door. There was a verdant forest behind him and it was dusk outside. I got up from my couch and ran outside and hugged him so tightly. It felt like we had been separated for a really, really long time, but he promised he'd always find me and he had. I woke up feeling strong feelings of love and longing for this man I've never seen before in "reality."

Teacher

Dream

I was with a group of people in a classroom setting and I remembered getting very upset. I think i was picking up a child or something. I started talking to a child in the class about something but i think her mom didnt like that after seeing me getting upset and going off on the teacher or something. After a little while I was all of a sudden and part of the class and I was in the middle back of the class. The teacher was talking and I was raiding my hand to answer. I answered one question but I could tell he didn't want to call on me after the outburst. I then started to see trippy patterns everywhere moving around like I was on psilocybin or something. I told the classmates next to me what I was seeing. Shortly after we went outside. We were on a small hillside and there was dried grass and a asphalt road we were walking that lead to a main neighborhood road. We then were deeper in the neighborhood subdivision and my classmates noticed a small cannon like a pirate cannon on a ship. It was at the top of the street. They rolled it to where we were and one of the guys shot it off. The cannon ball flew into the air and back down smashing into a house it ended up hitting a guy and his dogs and cats. The animals appeared okay but the man seemed a little confused. I called 911 since nobody else was doing so and told them what had happened. I was talking like I used to when working on an ambulance. Saying stuff like male in their late 40s approximately 220lbs, etc. I think at one point in the dream i did the reality check and became aware but that may have been a different dream as i do not recall being aware in this dream.

Dream

Last night, I dreamt that I was sitting in my bedroom one of my kids, and there was a door in the Right corner of the room It led to like a little storage area or entryway. If you will that led to a door that exited the home all of the sudden it started opening, but we had stuff in front of it so it couldn’t get opened all the way it looked like a kid was trying to come into the house, I freaked out and my husband came in and they stopped trying to come into the room. We moved everything out from in front of the door so we could get it open because we wanted to figure out if someone had been living in there if someone that needed help if it was someone that was trying to hurt us or what scenario was, it was two boys, they were brothers one was like five or six and the other was like nine or 10. Some neighbors came over and we were trying to figure out where these boys were from because there was no missing child alert or anything. The one older boy didn’t want to trust us. I got the younger boy to come in and eat some food and he wanted pancakes with bananas on it, I made some for the older boy gave it to him in the entryway at this point there were some kids missing from town called Watertown, South Dakota, but we had to get them closer to Town for some alert to go off and then I woke up

E num momento era eu que andava , no outro eu organizava os obstáculos pra aumentar ou diminuir dificuldades com quem monta as coisas como um lego. Uma outra pessoa , menino foi andar de patins tbem. Ele embarou um uma parte e resolveu acertar o obstáculos comi se gisse quebrar uma parede. Nós rimos qdp ele dez e gritamos gol. Mas o cenário já não era mais a rual na real e sim uma maquete com bonecos.

Fear
Abandoned home
Injury
Argument
Black Cat
Child

Dream

I dreamt with people I do not know in real life, only my husband. The setting was rather barren almost like a place that has been devastated by war. It was mostly flattened, dusty roads with no trees. This dream was in the parts as I woke up a couple of times but, I ended up in the same location each time. I only remember snippets from each part. Part one: There was a young child about nine or ten years old with jet black hair. She was alone and wandering the streets. People in my group were talking about this child and we took her in. She had a black cat with her and they were debating whether or not to bring it too. Someone said the child had bugs on her and it came from the cat. She started crying and I remember saying that we couldn’t get rid of her pet because that was all she had. Part two: A mother and her teen age daughter were arguing. The daughter did not want to go with the mother and the mother held her by the forearm tightly as the girl struggled to get free. The girl took off her clothes and threw herself to the ground to stop from being coerced to go somewhere. I told my husband to help the girl but, he did not know how. The mother got the girl up and was yelling at her and the girl slapped her mother several times as they walked to an unknown destination. Part three: I was walking along the barren road with various people mostly men. They were going somewhere perhaps to work. They looked dour faced and seemed to resent my optimistic attitude as I greeted them. I was going to high-five one of the men and he looked at me with a surprising and angry look. I remember his face vividly. He had a black beard and shiny jet black tousled long hair and he was tall. When I looked at his arm as he raised it, I noticed his left hand had been cut off clean at some point in time in his life. I didn’t know what to do at that point but, I still tried to maintain a positive demeanor despite it all.

dream-about-yellow-school-bus
Child
Park

Dream

I was riding a yellow school bus with my mom, we had this small child (who seemed 1 month old) that was wandering around. I went to get her and put her next to me and my mom, while time goes by I look back at the child and she’s looks about 5 or 6 years old. I tried to say hello to her but she didn’t respond, and I paid attention to her phenotype because she is Mexican so eventually I thought of the idea to say hello in Spanish which she responded. So I told my mom “Oh, she doesn’t understand English.” In which my mom oddly responded “She only speaks Spanish.” Which I thought to myself “Yeah, no shit.” But moved it on. She began talking more but in English, but I tried to search up some translators. We’ve arrived at this park and the staff began setting up the decor as if it was a cookout, some people weren’t able to make it which is fine and I decided to play amongst everyone after fixing up my hair.
