Dream

I had a very interesting dream. I was with Josh, I think. I think it was Josh in my dream and we were traveling to a lot of places and we were working together and we were making a lot of money and we're having so much fun. We were traveling to a lot of different countries and cities and we were meeting a lot of new people and we were working together and it was a very adventurous dream.

Dream

There’s a mountain where everyone was trying to climb. At the start of the mountain there’s a gift shop down at a bottom and a skii lodge you have to go in/through to continue going up the mountain. It was Halloween themes, so there was theme and conditions to climb up the mountain. For example one of the conditions was you can only drink water of what you brought and couldn’t refill from the water supplies in the mountain. First it was Ethan (my friend ) and I climbing the mountain, exploring the nature of the mountain like caves , lookout points , climbing slopes. Then we ran into Emma and Zane on the way back to the lodge , where they were playing a Halloween game of one of the hosts was waiting for you at the exit of the lodge and you had to run past him without being caught to continue climbing the mountain. Every time we would pass someone , the dreams perspective would follow them and their friends , highlighting the joys/hardships they are currently having with relationships, home life and general thoughts. It ended with me at the gift shop buying Kiki Delivery Service earrings and a Digimon keychain.

House

Sister

Dream

So last night I had this dream and the dream was took place here at the house that I live in now. In the house that I live in it is myself and my sister and my six-year-old niece and this house actually is one of my father's properties. In this particular dream, my sister comes upstairs and she begins to move things out of my office. Currently my sister is pregnant and we've been having a conversation about... She's been wanting to rearrange the house to accommodate for the baby. In this particular dream, I was in my room upstairs and she was in my office upstairs and she began to go in the office and take things out. She began taking things out to make room for the baby. I became very upset because we hadn't had the conversation and she just started moving my stuff without my permission and in the dream I became so irate that I began to knock things over and I was so mad. I was really mad because I felt like how are you going to just insist on moving my stuff out of the way without even talking to me to make room for what you have going on? I was so mad I began to walk through the house and I was saying there are so many more rooms there's so much more here why would you take this space? So in the dream I began to go through the house. The funny thing is our house is only a three-bedroom one-bathroom house however in this dream there were other rooms that I was finding in the house. I've had this dream before where I've gone through the house but I'm finding other rooms that are in the house so as I was going through the house and I was going to these other rooms I kept saying like I've been here before I know that there are other rooms here and I've had this dream before. As I went through the different rooms in the house, there were like different people in there and different images were on the wall in these different rooms of the house and the different rooms of the house would take me to different places almost. My sister was arguing with me that the other rooms in the house were not prepared or ready. It needed so much work that she couldn't stay there and it wasn't healthy for the baby. Like they had mold and the ceiling was coming down and things like that. And I kept walking until I would find a room like this is presentable or that's presentable. But these rooms, there would always be people in them and or people from our past or just different things. And they almost were reflective of our life in different ways. Maybe different flashes of life. I'm not sure. One room I walked into literally led me to another state city place and it almost was like a barn and there were people in there and I was like oh what are you doing and I was trying to figure out what these people were doing and as I tried to talk to them things just kept changing. I can't remember the rest of the dream but I just know I've had this dream before where I'm going through the house that I live in and there are more rooms than that actually are there but there are more rooms I'm like I know there are more rooms here but these rooms are these just different eerie feelings to them I don't know if they were flashes of different life different spaces different times but I'm like we have more room here that's all I kept saying like we have more rooms in this house but then I can't be like no this house only has three rooms but I'm like walking through this house and it has all these rooms and I've done this before in other dreams It's just a really familiar dream in a new space with a new context, but the house with the many rooms, that almost feel like they're not visible until I'm going through this process of walking through the house, but yeah.

Dream

For the last few weeks I have been having dreams that correlate to each other. It feels like my brain has made a world of an alternate reality of some sort. In my dreams I am exploring, there’s endless things to do. Sometimes I’m back in high school or even middle school, other times I’m in tall hotels with lots of doors and stairwells. Most of the time I am in my old workplaces like I never left. Or I’m passing by a theme park that my mind completely made up. There’s times that I go inside strangers homes or apartments because they would let me. Scenery is a major factor as well. Mountains, foothills and clouds. Or buildings that seem somewhat tall but are really close together and seem open for anyone to come inside and enjoy. I notice that the road is sometimes brick and as well as some of the buildings, I notice that sometimes the sky is dark and cloudy, I notice that some of the homes/apartments I explore are dark but have rooms and patios that I usually end up going to. But every time these places look different, it never looks the same. The feeling always seems familiar, and it’s comforting. Or even when I drive or “teleport” to a new area, it’s always a fun journey.

Dream

the other night I had a dream that I was in like a convention with my family my mom was there, my dad was there, some of my cousins were there, the twins, Mark and Steven and their wives, in a coliseum and we were not in a class setting I think it was like a normal just day-to-day setting I was with some friends I believe it was I can't fully remember who I was with but we were walking around it was female friends I think they were older friends too because I think two of them had kids and then oh it was a family reunion that it turned into. The space was a big house almost like the house from my family reunion a couple years back. It was on a beach kind of and it was like on an island type situation so you had some like a little bit of further out and some palm trees and everything so like kind of like a beach forest and then you had like where I lived, which was likestyle, but inside two stories three stories actually had a basement apartment and it had a spiral metal staircase upwards, but it was like a bigger one The house looks more grandiose than it felt, and towards the back it got a little bit more shabby and other people were kind of moving in and out, kind of like more of a garage-type living situation type scene, almost like a slums area. And at the very back of the house is like a rickety sunroom, and multiple animals would come through, we would lose our cats consistently because they would go in and out of the house and we would worry about them because sometimes they'd come back, sometimes they wouldn't. And then there was this weird guy that kept looking in the house sometimes, and he made me very uneasy, but at the same time I just knew how to maneuver and we kind of had to run from him and we went into a secret-ish room, and I remember then it was almost like a time skip. And I was in an auditorium that looked like a theater, and it was an awards, and someone ran up to me, and I was in a casual wear, and I heard someone said that they liked my outfit. And I was like, what? And I looked down, and it was from Project Melody's line, it was my hentai outfit. And so, I was like, thank you, and that was cool, and then I remember seeing I Am Mouse, and feeling the need, or like, just a sense of belonging among other streamers, and that was pretty cool. And then... After, like, the awards ceremony, we ended up going on, like, these buses, but they weren't buses. They were, like, long, huge RVs or coach buses, and there were, like, giant dinosaur mixed with ants and insects, and we started exploring through, like, a big, giant cave that had ancient glyphs that kind of actually looked familiar and, like, from a video game or something, and there were lightsabers, there were rogues, it was like a mixture of Boulders Gate 3 and Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and I had, like, fans with sharp tips as a weapon, and I was really good with martial arts, it was really cool, but we had to fight, like, all these different weird, like, golems and, like, skeletons, it was a lot, but then I woke up.

Dream

It started out with me moving into a new apartment building. My mom and sisters where there along with my sister in law. I don’t know why but for some reason it seemed like I couldn’t move in just yet I know we were in another building on the same lot hanging out together waiting. Every now and then we’d go outside and wait. The building was a two story apartment with several apartments. Mine was in n the very bottom. You could see the door to my apartment from across the way where we were sitting. The door to my new apartment stayed open. I could see the inside from where I stood. All you could really see was what looked like maybe the living room and what appeared to be maybe a mattress in the room with blankets and pillows as well as maybe some clothes on it. Eventually the time came and we were able to go inside and start bringing things in. We began exploring the apartment building but what appeared so small and simple from the outside was massive on the inside. There where so many rooms. And as we explored we seemed to only find/discover more rooms. Some that we’re basically secret rooms. I was exploring alone and found another room. I called for others to come look as well but no one was around to hear me. I discovered a secret door and entered. Inside was a massive closet. The room was still full of furniture and clothes. However the appearance of the room and clothes that lined the entire side of one wall all looked to belong to that of a younger teen. I much admired some of the clothes. There were these jackets/shalls hanging on the rack. Out of curiosity I grabbed on I liked and decided to try it on and see if it fits. I looked at myself in the mirror and was happy by my appearance. Surprisingly it fit well and looked super cute on me. I then turned to the other side of the wall where there was a large cubard/shelves full of shoes. However though the sweater fit. I knew for sure the shoes would not. They were very small and appeared to look as though they belonged to a child and not a teen. As cute as they were and as much as I wanted to try them on I decided not to even attempt. I then turned still wearing the jacket and tried once again shouting for others. I ran around the house looking for everyone else but seemed a bit confused as to where in the house I actually was. I continued to search but ended up waking up before I found anyone.

Dream

I was living in a mansion with my family and we decided to throw a party. While everyone was outside I was cooking so I went outside to ask everyone how many sausages they wanted and a bunch of random people came into my yard. I started yelling to this is my house, all the unknown people have to go, and I don’t want random people here when this is a family gathering. After the people left my yard I went inside to explore the mansion and admire its beauty. As I looked out the window I saw 2 girls on their roof next door enjoying life. My mom and I were in my old room from high school with all the magazines pictures on the wall and she said she loves Saweetie’s music and I agreed. Next I was at high school and we were graduating. I remember seeing my old crush Dashawn from middle school and wanting to say something to him. But I couldn’t think of anything to say to him or anyone before we leave and I never see them again.

Dream

I'm in a group. We're exploring a Forrest. There's me, a guy with red hair whose with his parents. His parents are the organizers. And a couple others. I get called over to look a a plant, it's supposedly poisonous and makes you feel excruciating pain if you touch it. I noticed my leg was brushed up against it. I almost panicked but realized I didn't feel anything unusual. The male organizer laughed and touched the plant which shrunk and expanded like it was breathing and said there's nothing to worry about. Me and the others were walking and all of a sudden there's a velociraptor screeching at us. We dodge it but there's suddenly two humongous TRex in its place. Somehow the organizer distracts the male dinosaur but ends up getting eaten while we're running away. The female trex smells the woman organizer and then eats her. Then we're safe in a room and being interviewed. The guy with red hair is clearly angry and saying his life sucks because he's now an orphan.

Dancing

Dream

The dream portrayed me as a tall skinny women with pale skin and long black hair. At first I seemed to be exploring the world/town. The town seemed modern and was near the ocean and what seemed to be a porting area for ships and boats as well as fishing. As I was exploring I remembered being happy and excited as I explored. At one point I remember dancing near a dock that lead to the ocean. My friend was with me saying how I was always happy and such a day dreamer. I giggled at her response and continued to slow dance by myself. As I was dancing I imagined myself wearing a beautiful gown and a prince dancing along with me. We were dancing slowly as we looked lovely into each others eyes. Suddenly we heard loud yelling coming from the main city. I stoped dancing and as I did the image broke and disappeared. My friend and I quickly looked at each other and ran towards the sounds and into the main city. As I did the surrounding changed. I was no in what appeared to be a small run down town that looked as if it was from the old west. The people in the city where dressed from that time period as well. As I got into the town it looked as though there was a rally going on. Several people of color and different races where marching through the streets shouting. I remember standing by some members of my real family as I asked them what was going on. They told me some kind of protest was happing and continued to make comments on the event and the town. Saying how the town was so weird and felt like a ghost town almost, due to its appearance and the way everyone in it acted and dressed. For everyone else dressed in old western clothes while my family and I, as well as my friend were dressed in modern clothes. As we were talking suddenly gun shots went off and people started to scream and duck down. Several more shots went off and people began to scatter and run for shelter but some people were shot in the process. Others started grabbing there guns and shooting back in response. I remember trying to run in a stop the fighting and shooting. I just remembered going to a burly and tough built women who was loading her pistol to stop and think about what she’s doin, and asked her who really is the one that started this fight. She hesitated unsure of how to answer. I don’t know how but some how I was able to get her to put down her weapon and was able to take it from her. Suddenly I saw two Spanish women ridders go by one who looked to have had captured a friend of mine who was a male. I hoppped on a white horse and went after them yelling my friends name. I chased them for a while until I got to a big opening near the coast the where no where to be seen but I new they had to be hear. I hopped off my horse and started looking around when suddenly two women kept out of the bushes wearing red old Spanish war suits. The drew the swords and pointed them at me. I cried out wheres Jack. As I did he walked out of the bushes wearing the same outfit as the women. I looked at him confused and asked… “your one of them.” He told me who he really was and that he was a Spanish prince out there to infiltrate the city. I don’t know why. I take it that I was if some importantance cause he captured me and took me back to there castle. While there I met Jacks mother who was the queen. She was very beautiful but had a pinched face and was very much cruel and harsh. She had cruel plans for me but Jack changed her mind and helped to insure my safety. Though I didn’t see it that way at first. I was held prisoner until a curtain night where I was to meet once again with the queen and Jack. But I tried to escape before then. I was successful in my attempt of getting out of my cell but couldn’t seem to manage getting out of the actual castle. I don’t know why but I was searching for a bedroom and was trying to find a gown to wear to help disguise myself. However I was being chased by the Queen. And I would go through one door then another and it only seemed to bring me back to the same room over and over again. I was getting frustrated and could hear the Queen getting closer. I finally found a room and was looking through the dresses and was able to grab a beautiful red dress. The dream then changed and I appeared to be in what looked like a flooded basement/cell room. The dream basically transformed into a video game where I had to swim and maneuver through to unlock cells and access keys to get out. Eventually I found all keys and unlocked a cell holding a beautiful blue and golden blimp/airship and was able to get out. I flew to this big tower out in the middle of the ocean. For some reason a friend of mine was there and she seemed to have some sort of powers. I talked with her a bit about what was going on and she told me I needed to go back. She had with her several magical creatures she gave me a white Pegasus and a couple of other creatures to go with me. I flew down and landed on the coast. There I put my self together by wearing the red dress I collected earlier. With the Pegasus and other fuzzy creatures help I was able to do my hair and makeup. The dream shifted again and it showed Jack sitting in a what looked like a dinning room waiting looking at a clock. The queen was there sawing to him I’m not coming. That I made my escape and asked why would I come back. Jack looked disappointed. For some odd reason he had been hopeful that I would be there. After hearing his mother bicker about me as well as him he go up and headed for the door. He opened it and there standing in front of him was me all dolled up in my dressed smiling. He looked surprised but he too smiled. Then I woke up.

Dream

I was in a car with my family driving and I look to the side to see a tower in the middle of all the highways where there was a mall. Had a very strange feeling that I have been in there a long time ago , a sense of Deja vu. Asked if we could go shopping there and expressed that it feels like it’s been such a long time since we visited there. Everyone else said no but I asked to go alone instead. I entered the tower and the parking lot is empty. Enter the elevator area and avoided some creatures resting there. It was very eerie being in the mall and I finally reached the shopping levels. All the shops were open but no one else was in there. I was exploring the mall , looking for the shops I needed to visit. My mom joins me halfway through the journey in the mall.
