🧭 Direction

Relationships

Consider the state of the city in your dream. Is it bustling with activity or abandoned and desolate? This can give insight into your current state of mind and emotions. If you feel overwhelmed, take a step back and prioritize self-care. If you feel a desire for connection, reach out to loved ones or join a social group. If you feel a need for change, explore new opportunities and experiences.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of a city can evoke a sense of excitement and adventure. It may symbolize the desire for exploration and new experiences. The bustling streets and towering buildings can create a feeling of being part of something bigger. However, it can also bring about feelings of overwhelm or anonymity, as the city represents a fast-paced and impersonal environment. The dream may reflect a longing for connection or a need to find one's place in the world. Overall, the dream of a city can elicit a mix of emotions, ranging from curiosity and wonder to unease and longing.

City
Jumping

Dream

I was with three other girls. We were dressed nice, short dresses, makeup, heels even. It was a city area and we went into this nice looking huge building. I don’t know what we were looking for, but eventually men started to follow us. We started rushing through different areas of the building, even jumping some distances to get rid of these men but they never seemed to relent. We got separated into groups of two and eventually got out of the building, somehow meeting back up outside while still retreating. Somehow we were still having fun, laughing and enjoying ourselves while getting away from these men. We had smiles on our faces, joy in our eyes, while jumping through the maze of a building and running out into the city. Two men followed us out so we kept going in the city, running around with each other. I kept waking up and falling asleep back into the same dream to continue it.

Storm

Dream

A city, and a storm going on. But it wasn't a regular storm, it was a being in the clouds which would kill those he saw below. I was in the shape of a regular guy, and I was trying to help some other guy. But when I turned around the winds got stronger, I hid, but the guy was already gone. I had partnered with another guy to seek shelter in this glass corner store, which had a glass door, glass window. Nowhere to hide. And as I sat inside trying to seek comfort, I realised that even if I might not be outside this being can still see me, sense me. And I lost it, telling the other guy I don't want to be seen by it, I don't want it to know where I am. And then suddenly it appears in the front glass door. In the shape of a penguin, he gently taps the glass and pushes it inside. Despite it's rough and scary manifestation in the clouds as a killing machine, he was soft and gentle. My friend told me to relax and take it easy, I obviously freaked out when the penguin just entered my only not so safe safe place. But I held it in and eventually we got along with the penguin and he laid an egg. The end I woke up after that. The other day before the dream, I had been reminded how I see everything through people, I feel and see them and know it all.

Train

Dream

I was with my friend daithi in a train because I needed to get something, before going home. The train was a tyle od store as well so i could but some things in IT. Alex was also on my dream but he jad to leave after we were hanging out for some reason. Also anothrr friends i domy know was with US in the train. Anyways daithi told me that the things i was lookingbfot should be herę and i shouldent worry that it will leave because it won't leave just yet. He was wrong, the doors started closing and the train was off. I wasn't mad at him, I was understanding, he didn't mean any bad to me. I decided to enjoy the views while we were in the train, I asked him "does this train get off at the spot we boarded it on?" He said it did. I was stimulating a plan for when we got off to buy the things I needed. But at the meantime I enjoyed the views and atmosphere. The views were of the Dublin city centre but the space felt more occupied with buildings and other stuff which made the views look better. The atmosphere was also nice, it was very positive a radient looking, like this dream was meant to be a good thing. We never did get to that spot, my dream ended. But I do miss my friends back in Ireland, even tough they do call me and even tough it has been like 4 months, I want to hang out with them.

Dream

People Out Of Context, European Labyrinth Cities, Victorian 1-Story House” Dream 24 Oct 2024 Listening to Jim Kwik lecture. He notes how it’s always different phenomenon when you see and know someone in one context, then you completely don’t recognize them in another soaps, and then it’s weird seeing them in that other context as a completely different human being. Looking for building for a class topic subject but after exploring one aspect first I get lost looking got the next building I’m supposed to be in to get more information. It’s an old city and some parts are roads while others are just buildings with courtyards and walking areas but no means of getting out. At first I don’t realize that all the buildings are like this so I don’t want to turn around, but as I keep walking I realize they all the buildings and their squares are probably going to be like this. I believe I noted that they were European in architecture in the dream. I decide to stop in building and ask for directions. There’s no one in the first room, and as I’m about to cross from the second room into the third room (both rooms have a set of 3 stairs into a raised area, along with a door to each other), I see a tall man who is about to use the entrance on the other side of the room to be next room as well (these rooms have multiple entrances). I start to ask him, but as I continue my question, I realize that he might not understand me— he’s paid no attention to me, dropped to all fours, and is crawling around on the floor. He’s tall and skinny and has a really narrow head that looks even thinner with his hair pointing out behind him. Not sure if there’s a language barrier or if he’s also mentally challenged, but it’s a confusing sight to see. I nearly trail off as I discover him doing this, but finish the thought as I see another woman come into the room. I head over to her and start to ask my question again, and she seems more with it and coherent. She doesn’t seem troubled by the crawling man, but I don’t remember if she addressed him (or even me about him) or not. Text Rachel asking for term. Later she replies: “the hurology test”

Cheating
City

Woman

Dream

I was on a public bench in New York City and I was sitting with 2 people I didn’t recognize and never met. 1 man and one woman, it seems like me and the man was testing the woman, kind of like a social experiment you see on YouTube. Basically the woman ended up being a liar or cheater I can’t remember the exact details, but then the guy I was working with took his phone out and was texting another woman. That same woman on the guys phone appear out of nowhere and the guy took that woman out on a date, and he left me alone with the woman we did a social experiment on. The woman next to me was cheering the new couple on, then she look at me and said “you want me right? you should take me out”. I said yes but I hesitated to tell her that I didn’t want her because I don’t know her but I was interested just in getting to know her, I didn’t want to rush into anything with her, but I didn’t tell her that all I said was “yes”. Then I said “I’m never been to New York before so I don’t know where to take you”. Then say said it’s ok and she named some places for us to meet up I guess for a date. Then she put her number into my phone and then left crossing the street.

dream-about-falling-and-helping-hand
City
Falling
Guy

Dream

At some point I was with a small group of people and sort of jogged ahead as we walked towards this small fenced in outside area next to a tall building in a nighttime city landscape. I ended up tripping and falling forward, landing on my forearms and back when I turned mid-fall. I felt nearly indifferent in mood but a little surprised by my sudden little fall. In that brief moment I looked up towards the rest of the group a little bit behind, there was one guy in particular who stood sort of tall and very calm. He seemed indifferent but almost subtly quick in pace, walked towards me as he was a little ahead of the group and easily lifted me up by my arm though it felt quick and gentle. When he did so I felt my weight sort of against his chest probably from how quickly he had lifted me to my feet. The moment happens a little quickly but I sort of felt a little embarrassed and surprised, taking a step back with a small apologetic nod and soft sorry as I processed what just happened, his presence or something about the air around him feeling almost familiar even if only in the dream like he was character I knew in some way in comparison to the 'group' I wasn't even sure I was apart of but felt sort of like a "tag-along". He seemed just as calm and nearly indifferent as before even after I got out of his personal space but it seemed as if he knew me somehow and to the point of my clumsiness not being a surprise or anything, he helped me and was just there so easily and quickly with indifference as if he was used to being by my side and interacting with me as such. But his calmness and indifference felt more like a comfortability than not caring.
