Dream

We were at a family event and everything i sat down on i couldn't move to get up. Someone needed to help me. My body wouldn't move. I pleaded with my sister and other people to help. (I keep having recurring dreams of my body unable to move) Then I was in another spot where I count move or get up. My sisters ex boyfriend was there and she wasn't with her current partner anymore, whom i don't like. Then i was at a bar on stool and couldn't move any part if my body to get up. It ended at the ocean which I was walking along the beach watching people swim. I remembered the part of the beach where I didn't like to swim as I've had recurring dreams about drowning in a beach like that. (I used to have dreams of drowning but after a buddist meditation course I had a dream i got out and haven't had a drowning dream since) I was scared to go near the water. I saw another part of the beach where I thought I would swim but Then I saw a big barge take the swimming walkway away. I had to climb a big mountain that was very steep. I had no shoes on and took small steps.

Dream

My dream was so bizarre. I had extremely strong emotions. I learned that Jin and I could never actually be together forever - he told me he didn't have the ability to love me as deeply as I loved him, and he told me to let him go. I was heartbroken. Then, little by little men in my life wanted me - like Sejin told them to distract me from my broken heart. Caleb even liked me. And then Em, the girl from school, her bf even tried sneaking into a shower with me. Towards the end, I was at this weird, huge Waterpark. It was scary because if you fell in the water, you would be pulled down this super long, huge water slide. I was all the sudden there with Destini. And I told her I have jealousy issues and possessive issues. I saw Jin at the Waterpark and he was with my sister. It made me so jealous and raged. But then I slipped in the long water slide and was taken far, far away from all of them :( I started drowning, and a nice Korean guy picked me up out of the water, it looked like Jin's brother, but I didn't know him. He told me I was invited to his birthday party, and all the sudden I was in a super nice beach house and I was at a birthday party with a bunch of Koreans with this guy. And we all sang happy birthday for him in Korean, and they all asked how I knew all the words. I was about to tell them it was because of my first love, Jin, but when I tried to say his named, I couldn't. It was like the words were cursed from ever coming out of my mouth again. And then all the sudden I forgot what I was about to say - I forgot all about Jin and everything that happened between us. I still felt heartbreak, but I didn't even know why. I ended up drinking a bunch at the party and the birthday guy wanted to dance with me, so he did. But then he tried to kiss me, and I wouldn't let him.

Dream

Hi there, this was my dream today. I was on vacation, near the sea. With my family. I don't fully remember this dream vividly so there will be bits shared. I was walking near the shore with someone I knew in the dream, holding a black lace untied ribbon. Then the waves go by faster and rougher, and pull me in. I could barely stand up, it was as if the waves were pulling me in the water because they wanted me there. I couldn't get out no matter how much I crawled but the person I was with helped me out. ( This dream situation has happened a lot throughout my life, there are either calm waters or wild. And being pulled in on the shore happens a lot. Other dreams i am simply enjoying the calm waters. The sea and waters in my dream are warm, and even though dangerous I always feel comforted.) ( I dream of water a lot but I rarely see it) Second bit of the dream - Me and a group of kids i know in the dream end up in an empty inside playground. It was full of slides and towers which me and the others started exploring. Eventually we realised we weren't alone and that there were clowns lurking about. So we did our best to avoid them. It was easy with all the slides and towers. Soon after the park began becoming busy, and a huge line of customers who wanted to enter started to form. Some of them wore costumes. It became harder to do things because of the lines, but the clowns in the park became much more welcoming. I remember going on a slide and a clown stopping me mid way to talk, it was a lady clown and I think it was hitting on me. Eventually she let me continue and the ride that came next had gaps on each sides. Apparently you were meant to put your pressure on each side to avoid the gaps. But they had warned me a little too late, as I was falling down. I landed fine, I was surprised and talked to myself outloud suprised at how I was fine. I landed in the middle of a group talking but they just started and ignored me. I walked off. Segment three of the dream - In a villa or hotel room with my family and some older guy who thought we were together. He was like we can't be together anymore I have a kid I need to go raise, here is this breakup box of things and my pubes for you. I was like wtf dude I ain't into older guys what are you on. And my cousin who was present in the moment took the pubes and started shoving them in my fake making fun of him. I obviously tried to protect my face as much as possible, gross ass pubes in my face. What was that dude on for giving those to me? Anyway the older guy pointed out how close me and my MALE cousin were, showing clear signs of jealousy. Anyway dream goes on and this guy takes off and leaves (finally). Fourth bit of the dream- I am with my family and my aunts family, near the playground sorta relaxing with a bunch of items with us. Like blankets and towels etc etc. But when it comes time to leave and pack those things up. Everyone one takes their share and someone mine doubles. As I struggle to collect my things they left. And I needed to take my blanket and towel, which were very stained for some reason which I thought was because of the water. A towel guy working there was like, hey let me take care of these for you. With a smirky ass face, I sense there's something fishy going on so I say no thank you I will just take them. He didn't want to give me my stuff, because he wanted me to be in debt to him for washing the things for me. I took notice of that so I insisted and he gave up giving my things. And boy is it hard. It's like this thick ass fluffy blanket with towels and somehow a bunch of plushies. WHICH I HAVE TO CARRY ALL ON MY OWN. Obviously didn't work out much because I was barely taking a step and some would fall, so I'd need to drag them and go back for the others. I ended up taking a detour through the playground, in which I come across a baby. I give the baby one of the plushies because I had way too many. And I kept dragging the things, reached the end, just needed to get the out of the playground. Someone gave me a hand with dragging them out. I go back in to take the stuff but as I do, the walls narrow and the baby goes and blocks my way out. I give in realising I won't be able to get out and drag these with me. So In the moment I just admire the softness and gentleness of the baby from afar as I pass out. I then wake up.
