dream-about-stalking-and-fire
Rape
Suicide
Death
Escape
Fighting
Fire

Dream

time and time again as different women I lived out being stalked and raped and fighting for my life to get away from my attacker, only to end the same way. Each of them jumping off a building trying to kill themselves to escape him. One girl attacked him with knives, hitting him, and she even grabbed a pizza cutter and rolled it on his back over and over again trying to get him off of her, before she inevitably decided just to jump out of her window. Somehow, it ended up being me, myself at one point with my little siblings all staying in a large house. The attacker cuts off phones, internet, and anything else as forms of communication. Somehow.. a man comes into the house while he’s sleeping and helps us to find a way to escape. By doing something to the car, the man is either killed or left behind while me and my family run out of the house screaming for help. The man wasn’t far, and runs to us crying and helps to scoop up my family. I returned to the house, and the attacker was no where to be found. For whatever reason, I also had a flashback dream like I was in a video game reliving memories. This mother slowly lost family members one by one. Her daughter from jumping, her son from some tragic accident on the farm, I’m not sure how her youngest daughter died, and it seemed like she lost her baby. She decided to re-marry, and on the night of their wedding she, her youngest daughter, and her husband all sat on the bed talking. She mentioned to her husband that he had to be careful when waking up in the night, and in unison her and her daughter look at him and warn him to “stay away from the fireplace”. Inevitably, the man wakes up in the middle of the night, and wanders looking for his wife who has left the bed. She’s gathering every one of her family members into the fireplace, although they are all already dead, including her youngest daughter who was only a ghost. Her new husband ends up in the fireplace, by no will of his own, and as they’re engulfed in flames, the scene changes to look like they’re in an old pioneer cabin, and the walls and everything else is on fire. The wife holds her baby, and her daughters and her son are both sitting there with them as the man dies. I woke up at that point. Like I was the one in the fire with them.

Escape
Mother
Family
Mall
Panic
Sister

Dream

My dream was so interesting and fun I have to write it in storyteller mode. Characters: My father My mother Serly (me, oldest sister) Lory (my twin sister, middle) Ani (youngest sister) Setting: a mall. --- **The Escape from the Baboons** It started in the middle of a bustling mall, the air thick with tension. My family and I moved through the crowds, hyper-aware of every glance, every whisper. We knew we had to stay alert—there was something about us, something that put us in danger. We couldn't let anyone know who we really were. Suddenly, an announcement boomed over the loudspeakers, chilling the air around us: "Baboons are being released to identify those who are...different." The words sent a jolt through me. My heart raced as I scanned the area, and then, we saw them—wild, vicious creatures, their eyes scanning the crowd with deadly focus. A massive pack of baboons stormed through the mall, hunting. We acted on instinct, splitting up. Lory, Ani, and I bolted for the nearest changing room, slamming the door shut behind us. The lock was unfamiliar—panic swelled inside me as I fumbled with it, desperately trying to secure our hiding place. "How do I lock this thing?" I hissed, my voice strained. Lory remained calm, guiding me through it. "Twirl the latch and pull the piece out," she said. I did as she instructed, but the tension didn’t ease. We were safe for only a moment. Then, my eyes caught movement—the second door, one that locked from the outside, was being tampered with. A grey hand, eerily long and thin, picked at the lock. A baboon was trying to get in. "We have to go! Now!" I yelled, throwing the door open again. My sisters hesitated, confused by my urgency. "Why? We're fine!" Lory protested. "Now!" I screamed again, panic overtaking my voice. We had no time for questions. I grabbed a belt, or maybe it was a piece of fabric—everything was a blur—and I whipped it at a baboon standing just outside the door, stunning it long enough for me to dart out. But when I looked back, I realized Lory and Ani weren’t with me anymore. We had unknowingly split up again. My heart pounded harder. Alone now, another baboon had caught up to me, its snarling face close behind. Somehow, I managed to get behind it and used the only weapon I had—a pair of red trousers, fabric in my hand—to strangle the beast. Its body slumped to the ground. I ran, exhausted but still driven by the need to find my sisters. Eventually, I found them, and we regrouped atop a hill that overlooked the mall. The air felt different here—calmer, but strange. People were gathered, dressed in beige robes, standing in lines, chanting in low voices. Among them, I spotted my father. His large frame and curly hair made him easy to find, but something was off. Then, I saw her—my mother, standing beside him. But she wasn’t herself. She had transformed, somehow disguised as my father. The monks continued their chant, but my mother’s voice broke through, saying something that resonated deeply within me. A single word, starting with an S, echoed in my mind. I knew, in that moment, that there was something she was trying to tell us, something crucial... but before I could fully grasp it, I woke up. ---

Escape
Guilt
Exam
Puppy
Shower
Water

Dream

I was at my grandparents and they bought me a hamster and a dog. We played with the hamster a lot. We hugged it and showed him around the house. We also talked a lot. It was very nice. Then I had to leave and take the hamster with me. It was not the same when I was alone in the house. I felt guilty for wanting it. I wanted to return it but I couldn’t so I just hugged it and layed on the floor. Then the scene changed. I was about to have an exam. The teacher called us to her desk and told us that we will have to speak on 4 subjects. Some got exited and I got very worried because I didn’t know them and I prefer writing over speaking. The teacher got mad. She told me I was never ready and that I never study. I friend of mine tried to help me and explained that I’m just shy and find it hard to do this things. We didn’t have the exam. The teacher told us to get prepared for the ext time. Then I was in a shower room, I was covered in salt so I had to take a shower. After that I stopped the water on the faucet but the water began to come out of the next one. I went to stop it and it went to the next one. After I stopped all of them I went to the sports room and I was walking just behind one on my classmate and behind me was a boy. We all sat down in a circle. The teacher came and started screaming at me. She told me I was late again and that I should leave. I started explaining that I was on time but my voice was very low. The boy that was behind me told her the same and then she listened and left me alone. After that the scene changed. I was in a winter villa waiting to get a massage. I went out for a walk when a big insect came and told me I have to hide. There were other bad ones, wasp looking insects that eat people. Do the good insect swallowed me and a bunch of other people to help us escape. He then spit us out.

Attack
Betrayal
Escape
Fighting
Girl
Old Home

Dream

The dream started where I was on a water slide at a party, just sliding off the end and landing in someone’s yard 2-3 times because I tried recording it. I don’t remember anything else from that but then, there was a massive old building and I went inside of it and everyone, including family members and random people were fighting and killing eachother, most of them targeted me. There was this girl who lived on this thing I think it might’ve been a ship. She was happy living there, orange hair tied back and a bonnet type headband with a light yellow dress and an apron. She had these powers, one was a lasso that was golden and it would lash around you and come back when you least expected like a boomerang. There was one that shattered glass and did something else I forget. But this girl and everyone else was trying to kill me. I remember having a plan. I snuck up someone and everytime she would I attack me, I forget what I did but I managed to paint all the walls with her face (I wasn’t painting it was the plan or something) and some stuff happened, she ended up joining the cause and I made a simulation of her power to see how it worked. Then I shut it and she said “that’s good, let’s do this.” So I nodded and jumped into the massive crowd (they were fighting with pitchforks and knives, plus other stuff.) and I got stabbed quite a bit. I exited the building but they all charged after me, after being chased for awhile, I got back up to where she was before and I was wondering why she said let’s do it but failed. I’m not sure if I was betrayed or not. I’ve never seen her before so I don’t know. But then I woke up.

dream-about-murder-accomplice
Angry at Dad
Fear
Escape
Knife
Prison
Group

Dream

I was an accomplice to a murder. I was attending a dinner with a small group of women. No idea what the occasion was. It was at one of their homes. My partner came with me. There was a blonde woman there that my partner was flirting with and vice versa so i was in a really bad mood. I was angry but trying so hard to hide it but the more the woman spoke the harder it was to hold in my anger and annoyance. We were all sitting together in a large circle- the blonde women sitting opposite me and my partner on the other side of the room. The blonde woman eventually got up and when she did, another woman just randomly went up to her and slit her throat with a kitchen knife. The next thing i remember we were all trying to flee the situation and avoid getting caught. But the people i escaped with were not the same people from the house. My partner was no longer with me but i didn’t necessarily notice this in the dream. I was really scared, especially about getting caught. The group i was with was really set on denying that we knew anything, should we be questioned. But they didn’t have a plan, no alibi, no nothing. I thought to myself, “we’re not gonna get away with this, they will know she was with us last if they seize her phone”. Eventually we end up at some type of prison camp? I’m actually not sure what it was, but there were lots of other people there and there was set meal times, followed by everyone lining up to get vitamins, similar something like that of a camp or prison. I don’t know why hay is significant. There were haystacks around this place. I repeatedly played the scene in my head and i remember feeling a sense of relief when i remembered that i didn’t kill the woman myself. I reminded one of the people in my group and they mentioned that the girl who did it wasn’t even with us. I was terrified of going to jail but knew i was incapable of lying. I was thinking of all the ways we’d get caught and trying to find a way around it.

The dream was in a last of us sort of setting, post-apocalyptic, so the world was ending-ish. It was in an educational institution, like a college or high school. It was, um, everyone was getting killed by the principal, and the principal was running around chasing me. I was trying to escape, so I climbed through the vents, um, went through, like, the air infrastructures that are connected to the vents for, like, air circulation. Climbed up them, was running, running, running. Um, I met some survivors, they died, and then it just kept on going until I ultimately escaped. And the president was revealed, and it was, um, a, had the face of a friend of mine, and then ultimately just had to kill him to survive, and then I just woke up. There was anger, frustration, and so much.

On the fourth night, I was in a giant room with a lot of space and some people, and then I saw my crush as a janitor. Her friend walked up to me and said, you should date her, she likes you too. So I went up to talk to her, two boys tried to slither her, so I grabbed her and ran outside in the snowy trees to hide. I asked if she was okay and she said yes and brought out a walkie talkie. Then my friend from my church came with the same walkie talkie as her. I confronted and yeah, she betrayed me.
