🧭 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.

Dream

UGHHHHHHH okay so my next dream was a lot. The first part, there was a shaman like man with dark brown hair that said he’d come for me soon. I can’t remember much from that but I thought he was mine. Now idk Then there was a dragon of lightning that would shoot creatures from his realm that passed through the veil. He was pretty cool. He said he loved me. I had blonde hair, nearly white. I was really pale, looked like Conney that I knew. This guy had darker hair and pretty eyes. He was quite young but then again he was a dragon so that might not mean much. He felt like my best friend. I thought he was really cute Then there was another dragon. Pure white. I remember him the best. He took care of me, actually we had a very strange dynamic. It felt like he was my dad or something. He was possessive but extremely polite. He followed me around and protected me from things. Interacting with him was just strange. He was super super duper old. He liked me for some reason. I think I snuck off to the dragon realm, they had this massive city that I wasn’t exactly aloud but but no harm came to me. A guard saw me yet kinda pretended he didn’t? The white dragon was worried and came for me there. I saw a lot of cool things- but eventually we got a place that was like a hotel room. I was supposed to sleep in the white dragons bed- tbh I’m not sure if I was supposed too but that’s what I thought in the dream. When the white dragon came upstairs he got really cuddly with me. I felt like I was half asleep- like I couldn’t really process what was happening. He sat me on the couch in the corner of the room, facing the beds, and started touching me. His fingers went down to my panties and started rubbing me and my whole body started to feel on fire. I felt like I needed more. Yet I was so sleepy I felt I couldn’t really process my body’s movements. I pressed myself into his hand. I felt so impatient. Needy. He wasn’t touching me enough and I needed more. I couldn’t understand why he was so slow, why he started but didn’t continue. I eventually kissed his neck but it kinda just came off in my mouth? I thought that was so gross. I think I ended up dying- I went up this elevator to the next life and I saw the white dragon. He was real angry, in despair. But he had a dragon egg. My voice seemed to come from the egg. As I passed on. He clutched the egg really tight to his chest and had a destroyed look about him. It didn’t quite make sense.

Elevator
Full Moon

Dream

I was getting on an elevator on a huge building with a bunch of people. We were going to the very top floor. When it got to the top Floor something went wrong - the doors didn’t open and the elevator started to plummet. I remember grabbing onto a railing and thinking I was going to die. A woman (who I think was supposed to be my friend Molly) whipped out her phone and somehow got the elevator to function before we hit the ground. It was miraculous. We made it to the top floor and split up. I climbed a huge metal structure to the very top of the roof and found a metal bench perched up in the air. I climbed onto it as another person did too. His girlfriend and friend came on as well and I said “I got here first, I hope you don’t mind but I’m not leaving” and they didn’t mind. I looked around at the cast night sky and took pictures of the distant golden city. The moon behind me was bigger than anything I’d seen and was full, glowing red.

Apartment
Stairs

Dream

so my dream started in New York City I was with somebody and we were going throughout the city and it was time to go into a building. There was a woman we were going to the building to meet and to get to where we were meeting we went into the elevator and went up up up till we got to the right floor When we got out of the elevator, we walked over to some woman's apartment and it seemed familiar to another friend's apartment that I have in New York in real life. When we walk into her apartment, she's about 5'1 or 2 with dark, long hair and pale skin. And she has two sons and at least a daughter. And two of them were to the right of me and one of them was to the left. I look around and there's a table to the right of me and stairs and the kitchen is to the far north east. The place looked so big considering it was a New York City apartment. The person that I was with wanted so badly to look around the apartment. Maybe take some pictures or just explore. So they asked how much this will be paid for her apartment. And she said, oh, I pay $20,000 a month. I thought that was so cool, that's a lot of money to spend each month, but you could tell that this place was so nice because of it. We keep going from that scene, and we end up moving straight into a big building. It feels like the same building, but it wasn't the woman's house anymore. But instead, it was where a bunch of jobs were taking place. it was basically like a mall but instead of shopping each room was like a different office or job so it was just like one big place for a bunch of different jobs to take place and we had this man lead us through to show us everything and it felt like an orientation It was in New York City so I was like thinking about oh I would have to move here to have one of these jobs but like I'm okay with that because I was in the orientation I remember us walking around and looking at the different jobs. There was like a cafeteria type looking at this one room in the corner and it didn't have walls. It just had window walls so we could see in there. And the guy was telling us that every room acts as its own independent job or independent place. But we can all come together in community, you know, like in the cafeteria or the hallways or other places. I remember looking into the job room that he was showing us and there was a nice little table for snacks and a bunch of chairs and a desk. Then we started walking by down the hallway after that, going forward, and to the right of us were all these big windows leading to outside, and to the left were more rooms and doors. It was such a big building for being in New York City, I thought, and I had been somewhere similar in a dream before in New York City, so it felt like a similar location and place to the other dream I had before. I do remember liking the orientation and thinking how easy it was because I didn't even know I got the job until he started doing orientation and I was like, wow, I must have got the job. So it felt pretty easy going and simple and I liked being in a different state. Then that part of the dream ends, and I'm still with somebody else, but my friend invites me over for a dinner party. She says that I should come over for a dinner party, and I also get the feeling that I'm in a different state, but doesn't necessarily feel like New York City anymore. In real life, this friend lives in Delaware, so it might have changed to there. She asked us to come for a dinner party and I remember like doing the U-turn trying to get there and it being a little difficult but I still made it happen no problem. When we got there I was trying to surprise her with something like some kind of food like a donut or cookie or like I remember trying to surprise her with something. and i come in and i'm in like the front porch and there's a bunch of stuff in there which there's not usually stuff in there in real life and i'm like going through stuff trying to figure out what to get them after like making a couple u-turns turning around like figuring out how to get back to their house for this dinner party and then out of nowhere the friend that invites me ends up coming through the door and I was so shocked with her appearance she had her hair like all done and volume and curled up kind of like the 20s she was kind of like a brunette version of Marilyn Monroe with the red lipstick and like the whole face makeup and the long white dress so I definitely underestimated how fancy this dinner party was gonna be she looked so dressed up so put together and I usually never see her like that I've never seen her in a dress and makeup like that before and I remember her boyfriend was there like kind of in the background and I was excited to join the dinner party there was another part of the dream that I remember sleeping over somebody's house because we were still out and I slept on the little air marks the floor and my friend slept on the couch and I remember when I got there my friend wasn't there and I was looking for the keys that they had hidden so I could go in their house and wait for them

Ex-boyfriend
Police
Friend
Darkness

Dream

I was in a dream where I was a part of a video game and the main objective was to get from point A to point B in a certain time limit. The game started out at daytime and gradually transferred to night time. There was a specific part where I had to zip line to an area, but I had to get there before it was night time because if it was night time the police would stop me. I was having a really hard time doing it and I kept dying and respawning and I was really scared to do it because it was embarrassing and difficult to complete. I took a break and sat down for a bit in a meeting with some friends of mine. I sat next to my best friend and we listened to the meeting. Then someone urged me to go back and try the mission again, so I did. I failed and I came back and sat down. Then my ex-boyfriend sat in front of me and was basically sitting on my knee and I tried to move, but I couldn't and then I started sneezing and coughing and there was some blood in my sneeze and a lot of boogers that were bright green and that made everyone really concerned so my ex boyfriend went and got me some tissues and cups to put the boogers in and my boyfriend sat at the back of the room, but he never came over. Then I went back to the video game and I tried to do the zip line again, but I couldn't get all the way across so I stopped halfway through and got dropped into the middle of a dark city and I ran around in the city trying to find a way out and there were just dead ends everywhere and there were lots of bad guys and other players that I wasn't sure if they were on my team or not and eventually I found a pathway that had five grape bombs bounce out of it. I guessed that I was supposed to go that way and time it so that I didn't get hit by grapes, so I waited until the last one came out and then I ran through. When I came out on the other side, Christopher Lee Robinson in grape form was there and he was apparently the final boss that I didn't know was going to be there. I scrambled up the platform so I could sit with everyone else and we all gathered there together. The people from Ninjago were there and pretty quickly Cole and Kai went out the back door of the game and went outside, but everyone else stayed and we started fighting the final boss. I switched my weapons from short range to a sniper weapon and tried to do my best to help and then at some point in the battle, my parents came to me and said that we needed to run and that we were going to get out of this place, apparently we were trapped So I asked if I could grab some things, so I did, I ran back to my room and grabbed like two things and then ran back to where they were and for some reason, my little sister had come with us, but my little brother couldn't come with us and I don't know where my other younger brother was, he just wasn't in the dream, but my parents said that we were going the same way that Cole and Kai went, in that they had taken a canoe and they had already made it to the new safe place in the swamps, so I went with them and we started leaving and I said bye to my younger brother and cried a lot and then as soon as we started traveling, I realized that Cole and Kai and the ninjas weren't there and they weren't a part of the dream anymore, it was just my parents taking me and my sister away to live in some isolated place and all of a sudden I got very scared because I would never see anyone that I knew ever again and my parents basically had me contained on this new swampland area and then I forced myself to wake up.

Was at an old house renovating it. Had a lot of bugs and insects investing it including wasps. Tried to find wasp killer but couldn't. Then I had a feast with some family members and friends. We had beer and rotisserie chicken. We were still doing renovation on the house as we also had breakfast food. Then it was a half hour before three, so I left and wandered the city and suburbs. I then went to Jersey Mike's. The sandwich came an hour late. I then went on the highway to make it to work. At work, I was an hour and a half late. I was also two days shy of getting a free day (extra vacation) as well. Work also had feasts of rotisserie chicken.

Dream

I was in third person, but following the story of Deadpool, but as if Deadpool was also me? I was looking into my first lair, and then I bought my first box full of cans of this alcohol lemonade? Or spiked soda. Then I was helping out with a daughter and her packing meals to deliver to her school. I completed that. I called Peter Parker, and was going to ask him for a favor, when he says he was going to ask the same. Peter’s girlfriend is giving him hell, and he needs somewhere safe for him and his mother to live. And I said, “tell you what, I won’t kill your girlfriend, I’ll offer you my house as sanctuary. You deliver these meals to my daughter’s school. Deal?” We agree, explore the city, falling but catching myself unharmed picking up more alcohol and Peter and his mom. There’s at some point a dramatic shift in days, ballpark, and such. We find out Peter’s mother is dead…and Peter is grieving. I am (as Deadpool) aching for his pain, but I will grab a can of alcohol…and head out to fight who killed Peter’s mom. On a mission, enraged.

Dream

I was working a new job within my company, but I was in person in the office which is weird in my waking life I work remotely and prefer remote work. But the job wasn't in the banking industry it was in the social services field which is the industry I worked at early in my career. I meant with the manager of the department and was provided with a few tasks to complete to get an understanding of the department and our responsibilities. I completed the tasks and then when I meant with her again she was really interested in the different ideas of I had to share and what I can provide to the department. I started creating a list of documentation I can create to help the team. I ended up in a different section of the department in another office unfamiliar to me. There was a manager that was nervous I wasn't going to like him because he fired my brother cause he wasn't a good worker. I was chummy with all the other managers and when he brought it up I assured him I don't care. My brother wasn't a good worker and he deserved to get fired. I also told him I didn't know that brother. It seemed like I was referring to my waking life estranged brother that I don't speak to anymore but there was this other half brother I never meant before. We all got a long and that manager started to really like me. When it was time to leave we all packed our bags. I had a lot to carry and I had to make sure we locked up the office correctly. The manager who ended up liking me and was nervous about my brother earlier decided to walk with me as his wife and kids follow along behind us. I remember everyone being very nice and laughing at my jokes. Everyone just really liked me and my personality and was looking forward to working with me. Once we got back to original office I realized the place look very similar to my middle school building and the setting of the dream was very city-like similar to my hometown of Boston. I saw two other managers that I reported to. They were chatting up as they were getting ready to leave. I said hi and went inside to re-pack my bag to make sure everything fit cause I was holding loose-leaf folders and paper. I told the manager I’ll be right out just needed to re-adjust my bag. The manager that was walking with me waited for me outside which I wasn't expecting. When I finish adjusting my bag and got everything in my bag so I didn't have to carry anything. When I reopened the front door to leave the manager that was waiting for me morphed into a Black woman (he was a white man earlier) and was very engaged into the other manager’s story as he spoke to his colleague. I think he was trying to find a way to skip out on this ball. She was blocking my entrance and when I asked her to move she said “hold on, I just want to hear the rest of this story.” I was a bit annoyed my entrance was blocked I think the manager blocking my entrance once again morphed back to the white man he shared his insights than got out of my way. I went outside said my goodbyes so I can head to the train. There was this van that the colleague was going to board to leave and there was several people in there that seemed both familiar and unfamiliar but they were all cool and like friends of mine. One girl is someone at my gym who’s getting married that wkend I asked her to send me pictures as soon as she can. I said my goodbyes and left for the train the manager was still accompanying I didn't even see his wife and kids anymore and I didn't ask him to accompany me but he did. The dream ended with someone in the van was having a remote meeting for a screen reading of this play. It was a Victorian play about two Black men that are friends and one of the men fell in love with his friends and the other man was straight. And the gay man was sharing his feelings to his friends. It was extremely intriguing and awkward because most men especially in the Black community can be unreceptive and homophobic. So this play was an interesting watch. Idk how I joined this remote meeting but I was watching this screen reading very entertained and intrigued about what was going to happen next. Then the straight Black man’s son was in the van and he said something in between the reading “in Jupiter.” I never heard the rest of the comment but I remember laughing cause it was out of no where. And that's how the dream ended.

Dream

It was the Batman who saved an entire city. Not the hero we deserved but the hero that we needed. 🌃 I saved myself when my parents were away for 3 weeks like Batman did when his were away. I learned the rules of the trade the tricks and coping mechanisms that helped me get through everything. Also Potential Indifference Derives us from Uniformity. I’m so proud and listening to the Dark Knight Rises Soundtrack the third movie from the trilogy moves me so much bc I realize how it helped me get through those difficult days when I felt like giving ⬆️ up and I never did. My self awareness helped me move past it and conquer it. In the days where I felt like quitting I said never. I’m going to keep going no matter how hard it gets like Batman fights for Gotham he may not be able to be in many places at once all at once but I tell you he helped save an entire city. It’s thanks to him I never gave up which led to all of my heroic self accomplishments. For that I’m eternally grateful. 🥲 I’m so proud of myself I just can’t fully express my gratitude 🙏 a tantamount and satisfactorily rightfully self achieved success due to the testament of my overall faith. Stay strong 💪🏻 keep it up 👍. No one is going to know who saved Peter, it was me myself the whole time.
