🧭 Direction

Relationships

Consider if you are currently feeling pressure to conform to societal expectations or if you are hiding your true self in some way. If so, it may be time to embrace your individuality and express yourself authentically. If the costume represents a desire for adventure, consider taking a risk or trying something new. However, if the costume represents a desire to escape reality, it may be important to address any underlying issues causing you to want to escape.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of wearing a costume can evoke a sense of excitement and playfulness. It may symbolize a desire to escape from reality and take on a different persona. This dream can also bring feelings of curiosity and intrigue, as the costume allows for exploration and experimentation. Additionally, it may represent a need for self-expression and the freedom to be someone else for a while. Overall, the dream of a costume can elicit a range of emotions, from joy and amusement to a sense of liberation and self-discovery.

Costume
Letter
Walking
Work

Dream

I had a dream, I was at work, but I was working in a big shopping centre and not an office that I actually work in. And we had, in real life, ended somebody's employment last Friday and told them they had 10 days to put in writing the reasons why they would appeal that decision. And they've already said that they can't send emails, apparently. So, anyway, in my dream, they'd sent in a letter, like a 10-page letter, handwritten, on why they appealed the termination of employment. And the box also had other stuff in it, like it had plates and just random items that didn't really seem to make any sense. And I had to go and show this letter to the manager. So, I was walking through the shopping centre, but I couldn't find where their shop was. I was walking around for ages and I found some people I worked with and they were like, oh, we're going to go see Gremlins because Gremlins is showing. And I was like, OK. And it was showing in the gardens. And I left the shopping centre and I was trying to walk around, trying to find the gardens. Couldn't find them. There were lots of people dressed up. They had Halloween. And they all seemed to be going in the same way. So, I started to follow them. And then I saw some friends I knew and they said, oh, we're going as well. And I said, oh, brilliant. I'll just tag along with you. I've got to show this letter. So, they said, all right, we're going to dress up. So, they went to the shop and they were trying on wigs and stuff to dress up for Halloween. And I was like, I just want to get this letter. I just want to show this manager this letter. So, we then decided we were going to get on a bus. We couldn't get on the bus for some reason. I was just going to be dressed out, but I needed to show this letter. And we ended up in an alleyway. And there was a news reporter who was interviewing somebody. And then somebody came up and they were in a fancy dress. But they were in a fancy dress as a man that had this baby carrier on. But there was no baby. And the costume was he had lost his child carrier. But he was talking to the news reporter. And he was scaring her. And then this other person turned up. And they had this box on the floor. And they were like, are we able to press these buttons on this box? But the news reporter was too scared to in case something bad happened. And I don't know who this man was, but everybody seemed to be really, really scared of him.

Dream

Dream 6 Oct 2024 Group Dynamics,Powers,+Shape-Shifting Shows(+ Wolverine,Woody,+Leather Jackets) Group of people trying to accomplish something while staying away from the bad guys. Different scenes, here’s what I remember. The group is talking right before a concert, reviewing videos. One woman unexpectedly berates another woman (who is showing signs of early pregnancy) regarding another dude. The guy has powers reminiscent of Doctor Strange, but not quite the same. After reviewing the video, one of the guys, who seems to be in teaching mode, says, “Now, why did that happen? Why did she take this particular time to lash out?” A couple of people offer different answers, including that maybe they had animosity before, or that everyone has been stressed and tired, culminating in her yelling at her. I half-heartedly say that “maybe the woman liked him before, but as a celebrity-from-afar crush, and it wasn’t until she actually met him that he became “real“ for her because it was an in-person interaction, so then she felt more animosity towards the other woman who I think she called fat or something to insult her.” My groupmates turn and give me a semi-skeptical, semi-tired look, and I note again that this was a stretch, but I wanted to mention it to provide another option. In the next scene, this guy is about to perform on stage (I can’t remember if it’s the same Doctor Strange-like guy or a different person from our group). His stage manager (who we haven’t interacted with much) goes out first and shape shifts a bunch of times to warm up the crowd, which starts ramping up. Then our guy goes out on the stage, and the crowd gets even wilder. He continues the shape-shifting a couple of times on stage before shifting into the image of Wolverine and jumping off the stage to crowd surf. The scene switches for a few seconds to slow motion, and, at first, I’m not sure if the crowd will catch him—but then they do. Then he shifts into someone else, and the game is to see who he Shifted into. His power now is to make eye contact with someone and shift over into them, transporting himself and temporarily taking over their body. I look around and realize that pretty much everyone at the show is in costume, from the X-Men to a couple of guys dressed as Woody from Toy Story, and a bunch of other characters/costumes. I realize that everyone here must be consenting to this, or how else would he be making eye contact? We also realize that the bad guys are somewhere here (or maybe we always knew they were here, but now we realize that it’s time to make moves), so it’s important for our guy to keep shape-shifting so they can’t grab him. I think this was part of the plan for the beginning of the concert. He transports into someone over to the stage left amongst a couple of people, then goes rapid-fire around the front of the stage into different people. I also realize that he has started specifically targeting guys wearing black leather jackets. I guess it’s going to be time to get away. He goes into a couple more people, then I out, flags to the left by this tall, beefy-built guy in a black biker jacket. I follow them out—cut scene— Now we’re in the car discussing the concert show. One woman (who reminds me of the doctor from Daredevil/Luke Cage/Iron Fist) is saying that she definitely doesn’t mind this new look (implying that she thinks she’s handsome), wild play, play elbow, and him in the seat next to her. We’re figuring out what to do next, but I wake up. Overall mood/context: adventures, group dynamics, working together, collaborative, curious, magic

Dream

I was in a car with my mom, step dad, and brother. I was in the back seat on the right with my brother on the left side, my mom in the passenger seat and my step dad driving. It was dark and rainy outside, probably around 11pm. We were driving back home I believe after meeting mom at a restaurant I believe, and we drive down this main road in a town that’s got an event going on. On the little hill by the stoplight, there are people sitting in camping chairs and bleachers wearing merch for this guy that wants to ask his crush to be his girlfriend. The shirts were white with red writing on them, some had blue. There was gallons of cute water bottles for sale that were gradient colors, like the ones we sell at dollar tree. We come to a stop at the stop light, and the guy who’s hosting the event of him needing moral support to ask a girl to be his girlfriend appears by the street light. He’s wearing a yellow cylinder costume that almost looks like a fire hydrant or a rocket, the top and bottom of the costume was red, and the costume had bullet points that were colored red, and blue lettering, or the other way around I don’t remember. But the bullet points were saying reasons why he needed moral support and why this girl should be with him. There was a conversation going on in the car, but I was kinda zoned out and sort of disassociating unintentionally, almost having a disconnected reality sort of experience, and all I picked up from what my mom said was “someone needs to show this guy how to live legally haha”. Everyone was laughing, the light was taking forever to turn green but the man in the costume was waving at us and getting the crowds attention on us, and he eventually waved his arm in a circular motion suggesting that it was okay we go on. The crowd started cheering as we drove past the red light, and all we saw behind us was the man jumping up and down in excitement.

I had a very, very interesting dream. It felt like I was in another lifetime. It was in the future, it wasn't now. And there was so much going on. I was like in this big ship, like a spaceship. And there was a lot of people there, and a lot of entertainment, and a lot of celebrities in the spaceship. And Sacha Baron Cohen had a crush on me. And I had to interview him, and every time he had to change his mustache. And I told him, why are you changing your mustache all the time? And he was pretending to be, Sacha Baron Cohen, pretending to be this rich, rich royal Arab guy. Like very rich royal, Dubai guy. And I didn't I didn't understand why they changed the mustache and every time I had to interview him I had to fix his mustache and he invited me to come with him to the future and be with him and he said everything that you want I will take care of you, everything that you wish for. And it was weird that this spaceship, there was a lot of entertainment and they were like dressing room with people changing costumes and everybody were in the entertainment industry. There were a lot of actors and dancers and movie stars there was George Colony, Brad Pitt and I sat with them and I felt like oh my in my dream I said to myself that I'm missing a very important part of my life, I need to be in the entertainment industry, there's a sign that I need to go back to be in the entertainment industry. And then after Sacha Baron Cohen pretending to be a royal rich man invited me. I didn't know if I should say yes or no.

School

Dream

My dream from last night was really weird. It started off on Halloween. I put on my costume before realizing that I had to go to school. The school didn’t allow its students to wear costumes, so I had to take mine off. Once I got to school, it started raining. My teacher talked about Halloween and how she loved it and that she wanted to see everyone’s costumes. Since I left mine at home, I couldn’t show it to her. She said that it was okay, but the assistant teacher came out of nowhere and offered to give me a ride back home so I could grab my costume. For some reason, I decided to take his offer and soon the two of us were in his car. We went to my house and I grabbed my costume from the closet before getting back in the car. The assistant teacher said that I should put it on before he drove to his house. Once at his house, he lead me to the bathroom and told me to put my costume on again. I started to get a little nervous, but I did it anyway. While changing in the bathroom, I noticed just how weird it was. The toilet was right next to the door and had a giant changing table in front of it. I wondered why he had that in the bathroom since he didn’t have a baby, especially one that needed its diaper changed. I also noticed that the sink was small and that the bathtub had a clear shower curtain on it. Anyway, after I was done looking around, I started changing. Suddenly, I heard a commotion above me. It sounded like arguing and was followed by a loud thump. Then, everything in the bathroom activated at once. The toilet, the sink, and the bathtub all turned on and got water all over the place. There was also water leaking from the ceiling. It stopped after a while so I went back to changing into my Halloween costume. Once I was almost done, someone knocked down the bathtub wall and walked into the bathroom. It was the assistant teacher, and he was holding a hammer. I screamed and covered myself up. He told me not to worry and to calm down, then put a hand on my shoulder. I pushed him away and ran out of the house. Once I was far enough, I called my boyfriend and my friends. They decided to take me to a spa to help me relax. While at the spa, I noticed something strange about the owner. After some spying and investigating I learned that she was killing her customers and using them as food for the built in restaurant at her spa. I went to confront her and almost died because of her. Fortunately, I survived and she was arrested. After that, I found a secret passage in the spa that lead to a beautiful looking cave. The cave was full of colorful crystals and flowers that were being watched over by fairies. The fairies congratulated me before setting off a bunch of fireworks. Then, my boyfriend appeared and the two of us watched the fireworks together. And that was where my dream ended. Like I said, it was a weird dream.

Dream

I was in an apartment that looked like a blend of where I live right now and where I used to live growing up. I was spending time with my siblings and Neice in the other room, along with a few unfamiliar friends. I think one of them was related to the late Michael Jackson. I was getting a message from one of my neighbors through the showerhead; they were calling out to me. I opened the window, and a few of them were trying to show me something. I climbed out the window, and they showed me their Halloween costumes. We chatted for a little bit, and they headed out. One of the neighbors is one of my friends involved in my Haitian community group in NC. I asked her to buzz me into the front of the building since I didn't grab my keys when I climbed out. She tried to buzz me in, but I guess that front door didn't match the entrance of my place. Someone was coming out of another entrance right next to it. I confirmed that my unit number was in that building, and they said yes and kept it open so I could come in. I got upstairs to my front door and knocked so my family and friends could let me in. They were confused because I had just gone to my bedroom and bathroom, and I had updated them on what had happened. I remembered the next section of the dream, feeling like I wasn't part of the dream and watching the characters involved. There was a young black man with curly hair and a young black woman. I remembered a scene where a young white boy was at this big celebratory event, and he was scared but also wanted to see his favorite DJ play. He hid away when he was scared, and a team of folks came to find him. They found him and got him back to the crowd. Then, despite his fear, he tries to stow away in the bubble-like flying vehicle to see his favorite DJ perform. But for some reason, the team leader who helped him was still concerned about whether he was okay. I also remembered how the black young man and young black woman got connected. They were in a majority-white place, like a school. I'm pretty sure that during their interactions, the black man started to really like the young woman more than a friend. During their interactions, they started to discover something was afoot in the place where they were. I can't remember what it was, but they started to work together to uncover the truth. The man constantly checked in with the woman to ensure she was okay. The young woman was courageous and willing to do what was needed to uncover the truth. The young black man was also confident and brave, and I remember very comforting and supportive of the young woman as they ventured into revealing what was happening in this institution. In another part of the dream, I interacted with a middle school classmate I hadn't seen in years, and she asked me if I would join the cooking class this year. I told her no because they talk a lot instead of doing more cooking. I prefer fewer speeches and more on-the-job learning. Cooking and interacting with my cooking partner while the instructor provides feedback or corrections, affirmation if we're doing it right, and tips and tricks we can utilize as we cook a dish. During my experience of taking this cooking class, they seemed to talk more and not cook enough. We both laugh about it. I asked her if their style of instruction had changed, and then I would join. She assured me it did not. We giggled, and I stood by, not joining the class. The dream was very pieced out, and I can't remember all the pieces of the dream. I remember going upstairs throughout my dreams for different things. I remember a journalistic theme throughout the dream when the two young black people uncovered the truth and a budding romance formed between them. They also had the feeling of mentorship for the younger students. I remembered interacting with family, unfamiliar friends, and an old middle school classmate. I remembered big crowds and the characters being concerned and checking how folks managed the pressure and what they felt called or desired to do. I remember all the people who followed through on something they were scared of doing or required a lot of pressure.
