Dream

I was like in a small town with some blown out buildings but it was a town that was working normally just kinda looked post apocalyptic. I was at a gun store buying gear. I picked up this hunting rifle and it was in 5.56 with a nice scope and it's was like arguing with myself that it would have decent range for what I was shooting at but wouldn't cause enough psychological damage. So I couldn't decide in my dream if I wanted to use a .30-06 rifle or a 5.56 rifle. I decided on the 5.56 hunting rifle especially since it could take stng magazines and I didn't have to reload as much. Then I needed a weapon for close quarters I was trying to chose between 2 handguns in the dream and after some playing around with them I decided on a mossburg 500 tactical with a 14 inch barrel and some magnum buckshot in 2 3/4. I had this very cringe black tactical back pack which I strapped a canteen and my shotgun to it with a bunch of shells stuffed in the mollee webbing on the back and I wrote a bunch of slurs on my shotgun but I don't remember what I wrote but I kept thinking to myself in the dream that everyone would find it funny that I wrote all this stuff. Then I grab a black m45 field jacket and blue jeans and put my back pack on and headed up to this little blown out building and set my rifle up. I was looking down the street like a 45° angle from my building was a play ground at a hospital and I saw kids playing and adults outside. I took a deep breath and squeezed the trigger and a round got sent out and the bullet connected to this adults neck and blood shot out and his body went limp which caused all the kids at the play ground to start running. They started running tword the building I was in so I stood up and started shooting them as they ran tword me and each one I would shoot would hit the ground and the kids would run over to the body and stop for a moment to stare before running tword me again. I just kept shooting and was getting pissed off because "my gun was not scary enough" I was cursing myself that I should have used the .30-06 rifle. I ran out of ammo and then as the kids got closer to my building I jumped down a slide and got on the ground and started telling them to take cover behind the building with me. As they did I started shooting them with my shotgun and it freaked me out because it was really violent and visceral. I then saw red and blue lights coming up the street so I went back into the blown out building and got into a shoot out with the police until I ran out of shot gun shells. I then just started to pump fake the police with the shotgun. Until the police made it into the building. I think they realized I ran out of ammo. I ran upstairs in the building and realized I really fucked up and was sad cause I killed all those people and I didn't even use like a cool gun like an ar15 and was cursing myself cause if I had an assult rifle I could have potentially fought off the police. Then I woke up kek

Ex-husband
Marijuana
Party
Shower

Dream

I threw a party, friends were there, family were there including my mom, some of my ex-husband's relatives were there, and my new man was there. I began to gripe about some of the things I didn't like about my ex-husband, and I also mentioned a few things I didn't like about my new man, but I didn't realize that my new man was in listening distance. My new man seemed unbothered. It didn't upset him that I said those things. However, I was embarrassed that I mentioned my dislikes in front of everyone. I went to use the restroom and after using the bathroom I realized I heard a sound. I opened the shower door and my ex-husband was in the shower listening. He screamed, I screamed, and I ran out of the bathroom. Everyone was shocked to see him there at the party, but no one paid him any attention. He eventually left. My new man was there and seemed unbothered that my ex-husband was there. He showed no fear. When the party was finally over, I walked everyone out, carried some kids to the car. While walking through my yard, I noticed there was a vape pen. There was a small urge to pick it up and use it, but I resisted. It has been more than a year since I used marijuana. As I walked the last guest to the car and helped her put the kid inside, she said to me, let's do this again next week. And I said, of course. It felt good to know that my ex-husband did not run anyone away and my personality did not run anyone away. And everyone was able to witness his behavior.

Dream

I dreamed that I was at Joey‘s house and all of a sudden the Ripon police department just walked in a whole bunch of uniform officers without knocking and with no need or no Click to be there. I told him excuse me you can’t walk in here like that that’s against the law and they told me to calm down before I get handcuffs. I was worried about anything illegal, but I may had in my purse or that may be there, but I couldn’t really do anything about it because they were all watching . Joey went into the kitchen and shut the door and they just stayed out there and I figured he was trying to get rid of anything illegal and when the other officer said, you’re just gonna let him go back to shut the door if you can’t see so getting rid of anything that we wanna find and the other office said just chill out. So I started talking to the office and I made some food and I fed them and eventually turned into like a big house party with a whole bunch of people from the town there a lot of people I didn’t know and there’s a whole bunch of newborn baby kittens that were everywhere and I was worried about the new baby kittens getting stepped on. There was also some small children there and I was worried about that too, I also was laying down on the bed and spooning somebody and then I realized it was a total stranger and I was very embarrassed and I made it something and told him that I thought he was somebody else but I don’t even know how that happened. It was a lengthy party and eventually none of the Oscars were upset about anything and they became more like friends.

Dream

I was at work, I work in a warehouse. I was in Lowbay in one of the back isles picking an order when a group lead (her name is Alyssa) came up to me and started causing issues. She made a rude comment so I responded back and she ran off. Next thing I know she came back with a supervisor trying to get me in trouble. I told the supervisor that she lied and what she said is not what happened. That she came to me and tried starting stuff and all I was doing was my job. Next thing I know I’m in this big house with all these different rooms. I was in one of the upstairs rooms looking out the window towards the backyard. There were 8 different pools of different shapes and sizing. One was clean and looked brand new. It had a small pool house right behind it. That pool was surround by bushes taller than your average person. Scatter behind the new pool were 7 abandoned looking pools surrounded by bushes and weeds and overgrown plants. The pools themselves were dirty and worn down. Looked like no one had messed with them in years. If you were standing on the ground by the new pool you would’ve never known there were other pools behind and around it. Only reason I could see them was because I was upstairs. The abandon pools gave me the heebie-jeebies. The sky went from sunny and bright to dark and covered in cloud, like a massive storm was rolling in. Someone rang the doorbell so I went down stairs to the front door. Alyssa was at my door causing more issues so I shoved her and told her to get lost. I had family coming by. We exchanged some words and she left. Next thing I know my little brother was running into the house and slamming the door with his back against it gasping for air. Outside there were three little kids chasing him. They started banging on the door to come out. There was lighting and thunder but not rain yet. We couldn’t get them to go away and they looked dangerous and a bit deranged. I pulled these four golden rings out of my pocket. They weren’t connected but they stayed together if like magic. When you stuck your hand through them a giant hand in the sky made of clouds and grey smoke came reaching down in slow motion scaring the kids. I dropped the rings and they rolled away and the hand in the sky went away and the kids started beating the door again. I managed to find them and pick them up, making the hand in the sky reappear and then I woke up

I had a dream I was at Paul's house and all Paul's kids were there and I think I was working from home in the dining room and the kids were just going about doing their thing, not sure what Paul was doing, but I was also helping him tidy up his house and I was getting all the stuff that was in the room, all the kids stuff and saying you guys need to put it away and there were loads of things like old pencil cases and just bits of broken toys and just old toys and loads of stuff and I was saying you've got to take it up to your room and I was kind of like moving it all off the table and stuff and then they were complaining they didn't want to take it upstairs and I was like your dad doesn't want it just in the kitchen in the dining room because it's taking up room and it's your stuff so if you don't want it you'll have to figure out what you want to do with it and a lot of it was broken anyway so I was trying to sort it all out and I was getting quite frustrated and then Abby came over and I think Abby and the kids went out so they went up to town so I thought right I'm going to sort all this out so I got it all and I put it all at the bottom of the stairs and I was sorting it out, I was still trying to make sure that I was working at the same time and then Paul came in and he said something, he said something about me saying that he shouldn't talk to his mum as much or something and apparently that was something I'd said to Ria and he'd asked me to leave and I was just like are you joking? I wouldn't say that, why would I say that? And I was really upset and I thought right okay so I just gathered all my stuff, all my bits and pieces that I owned and I put it in my cupboard and I was really upset and I was like I can't believe you believe this I'm just, you know, gobsmacked. Anyway the kids came back and they didn't say anything and I was just really upset and I was taking my stuff away and I got in the car and I was over there and nobody said anything to me and I just checked my phone before I went and I had an email there from my ex-boyfriend Tim and it said I've just come back from the airport and seen this and it was a document and it was a mortgage statement that had my name and his name on it but also my brother's father-in-law's name was on it as a guarantor and I was like what? We sold the house? I don't agree to any more mortgages and I was really upset about that and I was like right that's it I've had enough so we drove home but realised I'd left my laptop at Paul's so I had to go back and get it and I phoned Paul and he was saying something to me, I can't remember what it was and I said no I'm going to be surrounded by people that are honest and not lie to me and have good intentions and that's all I remember.

UFO

Dream

I was at a place similar to my moms old house just bigger. My mom and dad were still divorced but my dad and stepmom came over and was hanging on the porch (I’m not sure who the others were) and my bf. I was inside hanging out with the kids and Lydia. All of a sudden the people on the porch got very quiet and it was dark outside. Turns out a UFO flew over and it was massive. Dad and my bf left to go grab guns and supplies from my dads, Kenny kissed me bye and told me he’d be right back. They left, and mom asked if I had my game systems still hooked up downstairs if I could keep the kids “busy” while they try to figure out what’s going on. So I did, Lydia, her little sister Leiah, and three little girls I didn’t know followed me downstairs to play games. I heard a loud scream come from outside so I went to investigate. They moved from the porch to the front yard and another large UFO flew over dropping blue dust. I saw my bf and father had made it back when I was called back downstairs. I changed the game to something different then went back upstairs as I saw a now VERY tall BF (I guess he inhaled some of the blue dust and he was now a giant). I could see him looking at his hangs as he went to tap the glass with his pinky it smashed thru. The government then showed up and brought Kenny to the ground and was attacking people who were outside. They then told people to exit their homes and no harm would come to them. After they cleared the people outside another group of people showed up and started going into the homes. I saw them go into the house across the street and found a little 9 year old inside and shot him in his own yard. I knew this was bad and to survive we had to hide and hide NOW. I pulled the girls upstairs explained very little then we searched for a place to hide we figured the mattress has a secret room under for guns and stuff we could slip into until our house was “cleared”. We did and as soon as we did they were in our home calling out then clearing rooms. We laid so still and so quiet I was surprised. One man walked into the room and stood over us until walking to the closet and searching and then under the bed. They cleared the room, then the house and when we heard them step out they spray painted a large Red X on all the exits of the house. We then quietly slipped back out, all ok but now the girls were really scared. I had them stay by the bed so I could go see what’s going on. I crawled to the back door to see the large X but nothing there. Then I heard a scream our front of the house. The neighbor next to us took off running out of her house and they gunned her down in our yard. I watched this for a little bit to see what they was doing or searching for. Just people, they was just killing people. I knew we would survive as long as we was quiet and played smart. The army men then left our street and continued on. I knew we would find food, we also have my dads supplies they are only in the driveway and we have weapons if we need them. I knew I could protect these girls and I was the oldest so it fell onto me to do so. Then I woke up.

Spirit

Water
Restaurant

Dream

I had a very long dream last night. I was in like a campsite, but it was really big and my friend Latina was there on her own and it seemed like she was hosting like a guided healing circle thing with her clients. For some reason, her clients were elders so she ordered snacks from the main campsite building and they brought like Jell-O and yogurt because her clients were old. And she was annoyed about that because I guess that wasn’t the type of snacks that she asked for. as I walked through the campsite I saw a different kinds of people and at one point there was mention of a bear in the vicinity. Everyone seems to be on the lookout for it and somehow ended up in like a community center that had a pool with very shallow water. There were two small children by the pool and I could tell that one of them was going to jump in, but he was too small. he made emotion that he was going to do a front flip and I was worried because he was in diapers and there wasn’t enough water so as he jumped and flipped, I ran over to him and caught him before his head hit the ground. I went to find an adult to tell them about the unsafe situation and they told me that they were in a village full of people with special powers. It was like the people knew the baby had powers, but they felt like if he got hurt it would be a test to see what his powers would be, which is insane. Eventually, I went to another part of the area, and people were starting to gather everything together because of the bear was getting closer and eventually the bear tried to attack a couple of people and I ran into somebody’s encampment that was made out of boxes and inside they had turned it into like a tiny home so I stayed there until I felt like the bear was gone. Then when I left the box I saw like, a spirit of a human it was gray so I could tell the person was deceased, but I could see him and everyone else could and they said the person died because the bear got to him and he had no powers. the person was all gray in color and surrounded by either some type of feline spirits or butterfly spirits. It was weird. I actually ended up seeing the two kids from the pool. I guess they grew up within the last like couple hours that I was in the area. For the kid that obviously had a brain injury from flipping in the pool. I could tell that he had a dark dark energy over him, but the villagers were like oh my God yay they have powers and I was just like OK like they’re obviously crazy. Then I left the box house to start running away from the bears line of vision and I ended up in like this Japanese type location where people were like preparing for. So I ended up in a restaurant that was owned by the enemy, and I was trying to get out with my comrade who I don’t know who it was some white guy. And we were trying to get weapons to join the opposing army, but the restaurant owners didn’t know that we were siding with the enemy. So we ordered food to try to be normal and then the shop owner saw that I was black so they got excited and started to tell me about their favorite artists and they said they liked hip-hop so I just mentioned the Migos to try to, play along with what was happening. Then somehow they felt comfortable around me because I was black and they like hip-hop and black culture so they offered us anything we wanted so I asked for weapons and they brought down their top quality weapons and said oh be safe out there because there’s a war going on. So my comrade took the weapons and then we left just to find out that we had basically missed the entire war, so we ended up going back to the Japanese area which was connected to the main campsite. I was glad because I really did not want to fight in the war. It’s not my thing. I was happy to see that the area had found peace amongst each other. And then I woke up.

Dream

The Dream: I was driving with my three children in our van to church. When coming up to the church, I had to pass it because the parking lot was full and there were no spaces for me to park. I had to drive all the way around the Triangle before coming back to the church to see if there was anymore parking. Somehow my high school best friend showed up and she told me she would drive. (Thinking she could make it happen) I let her and I sat in the back with my children. Since we were really close to the church, I did not have my seatbelt on and neither did my youngest daughter (age 3). All of a sudden, a very sad/angry looking man stepped out in front of our car. I knew that he was the significant other of my BFF but I didn’t want her to let him in our car. I did not feel good about it. I pleaded with her telling her to not let him in. She let him in. He sat in the passenger seat. They instantly became upset with one another. I was watching from the back. My youngest was between them up in the front. I noticed erratic driving from my BFF and I did not feel safe for myself or my children. I asked my BFF to please be careful because we did not have our seatbelts on, I pleaded with her to let me please get them in their seats because I did not feel safe. I did get them in their seats. As we kept driving in this triangle and passing the church. It continued to rain. My BFF kept showing signs of road rage. People weren’t driving fast enough. People were driving on her tail. She would honk the horn or slam on the breaks. Doing so caused harm to the people behind her. They fall into a sink hole filled with water, but they were able to get out and come back towards her. She continued driving with the goal of getting us to the church. We kept passing the church because there was never a place for us to park. (Parking lot was full) She was upset. She and her significant other were upset with one another. Then I woke up.

My dream this morning started off with me babysitting Jojo and Jay. These are Talia’s kids. Talia is Teree’s stepdaughter. Jojo kept running away from me. It was if he would disappear and then appear by the front door. We somehow ended up outside sitting on the porch. By this time my two granddaughters were there along with Talia’s kids. I was talking to my neighbors. Then I came back into the house to get my bag of sunflower seeds. I walked into my bedroom and saw that my bed was messed up. When I went downstairs I ended up on a meeting for work. While on the call I was looking out the window and this airplane fell out of the sky and landed upside down. The passengers started jumping out and running. I ran out of the house. When I ran out my house I looked back at my house and it looked like a duplex. The colors were white with black trim. One of the front doors was peach colored and the other one was yellow. When I ran away I ran towards the airport. Then another airplane fell out of the sky. This one landed on its bottom. When the door opened everyone on the plane was the whole cast of a movie. They were on air force one plane. I ran into an old classmate named Nakisa. We walked through the airport together. We ended up at a Southwest Airlines counter. The counter was high up. You had to step up onto a ladder to talk to the representative. When I climbed up on the ladder I still could not see him. So I stepped down and started walking back to my house. Then I woke up.
