Dream

i was going on rollercosters for a field trip so i waited in line with all my friend so they could go but since i dont like roller coasters i skipped ti the end and there i found a girl who was unable to go on the roller coaster due to a physical condition. so i sat there and talked to her for a little. she was nice so when she had a care taker come pick her up she said we should hang out again and i agreed. i would go to her house and my mom would go out with her parents. then her care taker came in and said he wanted to go for a ride, he kept being weird and against my better judgment i went with him. everyone in public was acting really weird like looking like they were satanic cult. i said i wanted ti go home and i was scared and suddenly we were driving down a corn field. i was begging to go home and he said he would take me there but then said let me check if he is here and pulled out a mirror asking “are you here” suddenly all around us would flash graphic images of a lady. we were driving past things like a circus parade and then we got out the car it was like everyone but him was after me. so i followed him, we were headed into a subway when i saw someone cosplaying the god Kali, so i went to point him out but my care taler was gone amd it looked like the people staring at me were after me so i asked Kali for help to please save me. she took me down to a bathroom to keep me safe and text my mom but in the other stalls people were pulling at my clothes and legs to go under to them. thats when i thought my dream ended, it felt like i had woken up and was talking to my mom about the nightmare i had and she comforted me and made me feel a little better before i fully woke up

Dream

I was in the car with my best friend from work. I was in the backseat, she was driving, and her fiance was in the passenger seat. I was assuming I was going to her place but I was unsure. I went to sleep in the dream, and woke back up just to see the car barreling down the road towards people in the crosswalk. I scream her name, in case that was going to do something, but it turns out that she was now in the passenger seat and her fiance was driving. He didn't slow down or try to avoid the people until the last possible second. I was screaming for my life, as my friend just woke up as well. She seemed to be yelling at him more fiercely, and you can see his eyes as he just sighs and jolts the car away from the crosswalk. I was in shock but it seems like this type of behavior isn't new according to my friend's reaction. One we get to their house, I was greeted with snarky remarks from the fiance and my friend trying to control him. I was trying not to cause any more issues by telling them that they don't need to feed me, but of course my friend was against starving me. It was a very awkward visit. She sighed and let me leave. A bit while later I visited again, but this time with many more people. Seemed like a party of sorts. I saw my friend was trying her best to control the situation but I could see fear in her eyes, like hoping that her fiance won't spoil it. I wanted to try and stay but I had things to do. I went to my boyfriend and we left. I looked over when I was driving and I saw him playing my favorite game on his computer. I was like "why'd you start to play this again? I know you hated playing it with me". He half shrugged and kept playing the game. Once we got home, I started playing the game too, but he didn't want to play it me. It seemed like he was in a group of random people and playing their game, but not letting me join. So I tried to join the same 'game' (session) they did, but from my computer. I tried to find them once I got in but I couldn't. Once I got in, I hid in an old mine building, since I didn't get to grab any useful weapons or items to help my survival in the game. I saw people under me, and people above me, but I was unsure on how to get there. There were teeny tiny ledges and holes that maybe a small child could fit through, but then again there was no definitive was down or up. Finally I just broke a wall and found a hallway. I tried to walk up the stairs but at the very top of the steps was a ledge to look outwards, and there stood a super cramped old colorful animatronic skeleton. I thought it was dead but it looked at me through glowing eyes. I tried to hide my fear but I knew if I climbed the stairs any higher, that it might follow me. Instead I went down the stairs, turning my back every corner, and warning others of it on their way up. Of course no one believed me, but it soothed my soul knowing I tried. Eventually I found my boyfriend in the old circus tent. I saw my cats with him, but it seemed like one was missing. He didn't seem to care, he just wanted out of the game himself, but I had to find the cat. I was running searching for the cat, but it was no where to be found. Then I awoke. It's good to note that I have never seen my friend or her fiance in pictures or real life before. Seems like my dream filled their pictures in for me.

Dream

I was in an auditorium watching a movie and was surprised to be surrounded by a few familiar faces. A scene in the film came up where there was a boat sinking in a body of water and I made a slight joke to my best friend Chris that that was almost us once on his boat and he denied playfully that it wasn’t his fault. His ex that he doesn’t talk to anymore was there as wel but they just kept their distance from each other. Once the film ended a former friend of mine named Brittany had left to go charge her vehicle. A mutual friend that knew her too had referred to her which allowed us to meet discuss her. She had left her jacket with me but I was preparing to leave soon so I asked her friend to ask Brittany if she wanted me to leave her jacket with this mutual friend and she didn’t give me a clear instruction of yes or no so I just stayed and watched the live performers come out and dance. It had looked like a scene from the circus.

Dream

I dreamt about seeing two of my old close friends at some camp place (we were in a building) and those friends of mine don’t even talk to each other. I eavesdropped and they said they can be partners for a certain activity and in that activity you need three people but I was scared to ask them for some reason if I can join. They went downstairs and I followed them and then outside, it was all muddy and there was a huge forest with a small playground. They grabbed a large blue tricycle (the length was long but the height was the same as my friend’s) and then they rode on it away from two other kids from my old school that I got along with too but not close. Apparently they were playing hide and seek and I watched them play. My two close friends rode the tricycle into this circus like tent. I asked if I could play soon and one of my close friends said ‘of course but just wait until next round because it’s still going!’ in a cheerful tone and I was glad he allowed me to play. Soon, I rode the large blue tricycle away from the two boys that I got along with but not close and I rode it in the tent. Then the dream ended and I woke up disappointed

Dream

Today was pretty different, I just got a new job and I usually set my alarm 2 hours before I wake up and set 10 minute successions during the one hour before I wake up so I won’t be in a deep sleep. This particular dream I was in some kind of house where the rooms where geometrically off or impossible, I wandered the house and tried to wake myself up, for some reason I couldn’t wake up and then I saw a character from the recent series, “The amazing digital circus”. Pomini, I think is the main character’s name. I saw her and said I shifted, because everything for the first time in all of my dreams, this felt hyperrealistic. Like I was actually in a different world, and the crazy part is that the only way I was able to wake up is when my alarm went off, I could not for the life of me wake myself up. It was crazy but in a good way, I’m actually happy to experience shifting or actual lucid dreaming

Dream

okay so i was on my way home with my mom on route 22 from my bonus grandmas house, and he got into a really nasty car crash. some ‘people’ and ‘firefighters’ came to help, and they dragged our car to a side road. they then dragged us out of the car, barley alive, and took us into someone’s ‘house’. it was not normal at all, it was like these people were from another universe, and using some sort of power to their advantage. they dragged us into their house, and me and my mom instantly got better. we had no broken bones, burns, or anything. it was like whatever force field they dragged us into put us into their timeline. so we are in this house, it’s HUGE inside. there’s tons of kids, adults, of all ages and genders inside. it looked like a foster home almost with just a lot of people inside. anyways, we go in, and they put us in the garage. they have us sit down at separate round tables, and clean ourselves up. we eventually get tired of waiting, so me and my mom ventured off into the actual house. and it was nuts. but we go in, and the owner of the house immediately introduced themself, i say themselves because i swear this thing could shapeshift. i’ve seen them as a man and a woman. so i eventually got away from this thing, and ventured off to a group of people about my age. they tell me their story about how they ended up here, and they were all similar. car crash, nearly dead, and dragged into this strange house. they told me the rules, everyone is to be in bed by 8pm, no phones, no contacting the outside world, and no leaving the house. i instantly got a bad feeling about the house. everyone inside was victims to what was to come. we all heard a little kid screaming bloody murder, and this group of people i was with was like “that’s where our lives are about to go to. they prep us for their dinners and to sell us.” i thought they were kidding at first, but i knew i had to get out of there. i tried finding my mom, but she was already getting along with the house owner. i just watch her from a distance, as i’m trying to sneak onto my phone and texting my bonus dad that we’ve been kidnapped. i literally remember texting him “HOW DO YOU SHARE LOCATION” “PLEASE HELP US” WE GOT INTO A CRASH” “PLEASE”. he didn’t believe me af all!!! he shared a video that showed me how to share my location, but it was way too long and i was just getting more anxious and annoyed by the second. i replied and said “THE VIDEO IS WAY TO LONG JUST TELL ME!!” and he started telling me how to, but i couldn’t read it. i got even more anxious and upset, i just said “NEVERMIND ILL JUST GOOGLE IT. CANT YOU JUST TRACK THE AIRTAG?!” and he replies asking what all the ruckus was. the house owner was over my shoulder at this point so i could do nothing but pretend i was playing a mobile game or something. once the house owner left, i immediately went to share my location, and all jason said was “you’re lying lol. i saw you walk at graduation today!” i was so confused because i had graduated at least 8 months ago. what did he mean he just saw me?! i tried explaining to him this house i was in, and he didn’t believe me at all. i told him to pull up and send police, but when they came, the house looked like no one was home. i said “HOW ALL THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND IT LOOKS LIKE A CIRCUS IN HERE!!” he sent me a pic, and he was right. it did look like nothing was home. i texted him and said “fine, if you don’t believe me, then don’t. we will be dead by midnight.” he laughed and we stopped texting each other. by then i went over to talk to my mom, and tried to tell her what had just happened, and she was brainwashed. she was saying how much she loved it here, and how much she wanted to stay, and how she’s even got a thing going on with the house owner. i told her she’s completely wrong, and that the people running this house was gonna kill us by midnight. she just laughed and said whatever. it was then 8pm, and everyone ran up the stairs to find a little nook to ‘sleep’ in. i tried to stick with my mom, but she was kissing the house owners butt so i just took off without her. i found a black woman about my age, and asked if i could chill with her for the night. she said yes, and told me what the rules are for the night. you can stay awake, but you’re not allowed to make any noise, talk to anyone, or go on your phone. the lights turned off, and the only source of light was under the huge window we were under. she then pulled out her charger, and plugged her phone into the outlet and hit the charger with her blanket. i asked “do you mind if i charge mine too?” and she said “no i don’t, just keep it hidden. don’t let him catch you.” i plugged my phone in and it buzzed. i looked up at her panicked and she said “shhh don’t worry it’s okay, the house owner is a little dumb. he thinks it’s his workers working.”. i noticed the house owner walking around, and me and this girl hid our phones. she pretended to sleep, and i just grabbed my mini sketchbook and pencil, and started doodling. the house owner was right over my shoulder, and i felt nothing but his negative energy coming into my space. i felt so anxious, tired, and depressed when he came into my space like that. it was like he was sucking the life out of me. he eventually moved onto the next few people to check on them. i remember the next morning in the kitchen, i peeked through the blinds, and i saw another house that wasn’t there before. it looked the same as the one we were in, but it was filled with firefighters and fire trucks. they looked like the people who had saved me and my mom from that car crash. the girl i had stayed with said “you’re not supposed to look out there.” i quickly looked away and snapped the blinds back and just looked at her confused. she said “they’re in our dimension as well. but we aren’t supposed to know. they’re helping these house owners pull in victims. they are the ones who actually caused most of these peoples car crashes, including yours.”. i just remember feeling so depressed and shocked that this was even possible. she told me she knew a way out, but it was very risky. i don’t remember what happened after this, but i remember dragging my mom out of the house after she had just almost been killed by them, all bloodied up, and i said “i told you so! now let’s call for help.”. so i guess you could say that girl’s plan worked. i remember trying to tell the police what happened, and they immediately got the fbi and whoever deals with parallel universe shenanigans. they were working on an investigation before i woke up in the waking world, but they finally believed us and kept an eye on us and that area 24/7 so these shapeshifters from a different universe wouldn’t claim another victim or try to kill us.

Dream

I had a dream about my dad. He was cheating on my mom there and brought out his mistress. He seemed so full of love to her, he smiled and even didn't notice my presence at all. He left me with my two sisters, and my mom alone. But my mom would just tell me to let it go. She didn't seem bothered by it, that dad left us, but she was kind of have overthink and pale face at the same time. Maybe because she was thinking of the kids. We are going to a night bazaar, except dad. He was there too, but we weren't going together as family, you know. He was with his mistress. I couldn't enjoy. My mom was bringing us there for fun, but she was in flat face too, and seemed like she hid her emotions. She didn't want to cry, she didn't want us to see her sad. But the moment I saw dad with another lady, I was crying so hard. I think he noticed us, but he seemed don't care and it was like... He did it on purpose. To show that he could also be happy with her, and even happier, not only with us. The vibes of the bazaar was the same as circus 🎪. We also saw the tents that were similar to circus. I don't know, but I only saw ferris wheel and carousel 🎠 We were riding air balloon and went up to the sky, it was night right! I saw my dad and his mistress too, they were dancing and smiling happily. It was really crowded down there, with street foods too. I was watching down and cried. I couldn't stop crying. My mother and sisters were also in the hot air balloons with me, but they just stood there. With no emotions and straight view. Only me, the one who was still watching dad down there and cried. But, suddenly the way we were going up and up, the sky turns so light. Like in the morning. The weather is nice, sunny but not burnt. It was nice. So many trees down there also, but now, I didn't see my dad or anyone. Only grassland. And then, I woke up in reality and found out that I was crying in my sleep. After I woke up, I cried even harder. It felt so real
