🧭 Direction

Identity

All the pent-up frustration is going to get back at you soon, so it's better to release your emotions slowly when you get a chance. Don't let it build-up, as it will do you more harm. Instead, rest, take your time, clear your mind before you get on with things.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of an explosion can evoke a range of intense emotions. It may instill fear, shock, and panic due to the sudden and violent nature of the event. The dreamer may feel a sense of vulnerability and danger, as well as a loss of control. The explosion could also generate feelings of chaos, destruction, and uncertainty. It may symbolize repressed anger or pent-up emotions that are ready to burst.

Obstacle

Dream

I dreamed I was playing a obstacle game of pokemon. At first, I was trying to go through to arrive to an obstacle. I had a bowl of cereal in my hand and eating it. I was crossing a lake and hit the ice or cold area of the lake. It was really cold so I went back to find another way around. Then when I arrived to the obstacles, I was gaining points by taking down pokemon with either my ship or weapon or so on and watching them explode. I had higher and higher points. I was with someone, a game partner helping me. The game paused with me looking at a third person point of view of someone talking to a CIA director and commented them on being the youngest in history and wondering why the CIA director is helping them. The director said something about something suspicious going on, like a mole or so on. Then back to the obstacles, we were going room by room looking for something, maybe evidence of what this CIA director was looking for.

Dream

Going into a field at the end of a lane with my mum and dad there were two bulls that we were saying are both very nice and kind. When we turned around to come away from the field i was a bit infront and i looked back to see the bull following my mum when all of a sudden it charged at her and rammed her in the back so i ran away as fast as i could and jumped over a gate at the end of the lane to the left and there was a man in the field walking towards me. I told the man what had happened and to stay behind the gate. The bull ran straight passed me and into the next field and my mum and dad caught up, somehow my dad ended up on the bulls back and it was broncing and he went flying off its back but he was ok and managed to shut the bull in that field. So then my mum and dad left and i was alone needing to go back to the house so i started walking through a field of cows but it turned out there was a bull in there and it wasn’t as mean but something wound it up and made it angry so it chased me and i dove into this tiny space in a little shelf and it had two biscuits in which i ate and then went back out of the shelf into the field and started walking to the other end of the field where the bull wasn’t. I ended up finding the bull again but this time it was nice and i stroked its shoulder. When i got to the exit of the field there had been a car crash right there and the fence had come down so cows were escaping. I went to my mum and told her what was happening, all of a sudden it was dark. This is where it gets scary, so my mum says i’m lucky i got out the field with that big bull and i look back and the bull is really tall and furry with the black for draping from its shoulders all the way to the ground and it looks more like a monster now, so i went over to the car to film it and the scary bull but i was struggling to get the flash to work and i couldn’t manage to film it. Then something starts running out from the field and its little but it looked just like a nun with the black and white cloak but when it got close my mum grabbed it and it was like a squirrel thing yet i was still scared of it, for some reason we went into the field and a whole bunch of these nun squirrels starting appearing an running to the exit of the gate. So we went out the field again and were lookin at the house and i can’t remember where this voice came from but it said something like I am not religious or trusting in God enough and if i don’t find God and become christian something terrible will happen. And i shouted something back to the voice like dismissing it and saying that i’m not scared because God isn’t real (i’m not a religious person) and then something on my house exploded and i watched my entire house burn to the ground. So the dream like time skips and we’re in my house but it’s just like a normal house without walls but all the furniture was still there. It’s now me, an old guy, Blake Lively, Ncuti Gatwa and 2 young children a girl and a boy and we’re hanging out and it’s all happy until we come across a weird looking floorboard, under it is a box with a tape recording in and Ncuti starts to play it and it’s saying really weird things but i wasn’t that scared. Somehow the house fixed itself and i started to wander off but then the recording said something that scared me and i came back into the room they were all sitting in. The voice recording got creepier and the room just started to feel really uncomfortable. Then the daughter decided to go upstairs to sleep, she was up there for a little while before the man followed who seemed like her dad, there was a really loud scream and shout and they came thundering downstairs, i was next to a spiral staircase that scared me because i knew whatever the bad thing was could get down there, the man and daughter were covered in blood and he said there was a girl in a white dress sitting infront of the daughters bed crying. The daughter had tapped the spirit on the shoulder and asked if she was ok and the spirit said “no” and that was when the man came in screaming and shouting and grabbed the daughter and dragged her downstairs back to us. Then i woke up.

Dream

I was trapped within a massive building facility that had outside fields. There was a lot of people all panicking and trying to escape but they could not so I had to try and figure a wag out. Some people were being killed for trying to escape as when they got passed a point in the field they would die. There was army soldiers all around this area killing people and trying to keep everyone inside including me. We all ended up in the controlled area for so long that there was a apocalyptic setting to it and we all split into different clans. My boyfriend was with me at one point and asked if we should get matching butterfly tattoos and then I agreed. After this it was like a war zone and I had to try and escape without getting caught. There were bombs and explosions and a lot of people dying.

Dream

In my Dream I was lifting weights outside my house and the weights were really light because I was so strong. All the sudden a plane in the shape of a machine gun was in the sky on fire close by my house and in slow motion it hit a close by house and exploded. The explosion was huge and I had trouble getting my mom to go into the house because the explosion was bigger than She thought and I knew it would be big .other near by houses started to explode and I knew we were under attack. The windows in my house exploded but the house was still standing. I finally got my mom and I inside the house and I went up stairs to grab my son who was asleep. I grabbed him and he woke up. I grabbed him so we could run to escape. Outside I grabbed a tarp and covered my car and hid underneath my car, this way no one could see us hiding underneath from near by soldiers trying to get us. When they pulled off the tarp of my car they were standing next to my car so they didn’t see us underneath it. They searched inside my car and inside my house and assumed we left. When they started to walk away we slowly got out from underneath my car because we knew once they were far enough away they would see us under the car. We slowly snuck back to the back yard and hid inside the grape tree/vine. We took off our clothes that way they would not see the bright colors from out shirts and our skin would blend in with the branches. This kept us well hidden and we hid inside this tree until the soldiers were gone. Once they were gone we got backpacks and started packing essentials to survive on the land.

Apartment

Dream

I was hanging out with Ricardo talking to him about relationships and he was saying he was ready to get into a relationship. I was surprised and told him when we first met he didn’t want to be in one and he said he changed his mind. We went to his apartment to chat and I sat behind him and was holding him and rubbing his back. I asked if that was okay. He said, “why have a relationship if you can just cuddle and be touched by a friend?” Then he asked if he could have sex with me and I said yes. He was behind me and he put his dick in and it was amazing and erotic. I knew I was cheating on Tom but I felt okay about it. I told him this was between us and to not tell Salvador cause I didn’t want him thinking anything differently about me. Ricardow as asking me where to meet women to date and I said dancing is the best. That there are super hot women in tango but the men are really dorky and he would stand out cause he’s so handsome. At another part of the dream I was in a class and I was instructed to give a 45 minute or so presentation on Mexico. I asked Ricardo and Salvador if I could ask them some questions about it for my presentation. I was thinking of focusing on the Sea of Cortez since a lot of people don’t know about it. I was in the car with them both and it was very different cause Salvador and I never get close or touch. Ricardo and I weren’t trying to make it obvious that we were hooking up cause I didn’t want Sal to know. In another dream I was reliving this tape of a hot air balloon crash. We were up at the top of the hot air balloon where there was a young man operating it. He was using his phone and apple watch. Something went wrong and the balloon plummeted toward the ground and landed on a sidewalk. Him and a woman got out and were okay - I thought they had died in the crash. Ricardo told the woman to run cause the balloon was going to explode. She almost didn’t believe him but they ran and hid right when the balloon exploded and sent tons of thick smoke into the air. They survived cause they ran and hid.

Fear
Explosion
Scream
Girl
Men
Shadow

Dream

The dream started out showing Water, clear water that runs through a valley, next to fields of gold that wave in the wind and shine in the sun’s light. A girl with dark hair and a simple white dress stands next to the river. The river reflects the image of an old rock tower that’s stands a quarter mile down the river. The wind wisps through the field making particles fly into the air. They shine like little gold flecks or fireflies all around her. She slowly raises her arms into the air feeling the warmth of the sun on her back and closes her dark blue eyes, listening to the sweet sounds that the earth beneath her bare feet has to offer. Suddenly a shadow coves the land turning everything dark. The girl turns to see a hideous black creature with red eyes. Its body flowing almost like a shadow itself but obstructed by what looked like tar. Its long fingers appeared to drip this black tar liquid, as well as its mouth. Its red eyes gleaming like fire. She screams in terror from the sight of this creature and runs into the field. The creature follows her, however the creature’s body disappears. Only darkness follows behind her, turning everything that once was light into darkness. The girl runs deeper into the fields, she turns to look behind her only to find the creature on its hind legs standing tall with its teeth bare. She stands closing her eyes, waiting for the creature to take her. The creature lets out a loud cry as a blast from the sky strikes the creature killing it. The girl opens her eyes to an air craft shaped almost like an egg hovering above her. The girl runs behind a rock to hide, and watches as the doors of the air craft slowly open. Men in armored suits poor out of the air craft with strange guns in their hands. The girl gasp and turns as she hears more screams. More of the black creatures appear out of the fields and attack the men. She screams watching the men be killed by these creatures. Blast of light shot from their weapons destroying the creatures as they explode and burn in light blue fire. The creatures eventually had all been destroyed and for a moment it seemed to lay quiet. The men continue to search the area checking for survivors and making sure the creatures where in fact gone. In time the girl slowly comes out from behind the rock as she does a chill runs down her spin as she feels cold breath on her back. She slowly turns to see one of the creatures. Its face had been shot from one of the men’s guns and had burnt half of the creatures face. Blue sparks of fire still remained on its face as blood drips from its mouth and fingers. The girl shakes in fear when a blast shoots the creature in the back causing it to explode. The girl screams and ducks down covering her head. A tall muscular man with dark brown hair and scruffy beard runs towards the girl dropping to his knees. “Hey it’s ok, it’s ok” he said placing his hands on her shoulders The girl screams slightly trying to get away. He grabs her softly “Wow, Wow. It ok,” he brings her in closer and holds her. “Your Safe now.” Then I woke up

Time

Dream

my dream started with me and my classmates and mom i guess being in a space shuttle that was huge, it was where we lived. A friend and I were looking through a window at earth and the moon, when all of a sudden a huge explosion happened and jt kinda rocked the shuttle. When we looked the moon had exploded, and was replaced by a moon just a as big as the sun, if not bigger. I panicked. We all panicked? what did that mean for earth? whats happening there?. Most of everyone on the shuttle was preparing to go down to earth in small ships to see what was happening. I went down with this boy in a shuttle with classmates. The earth felt weird, an odd sensation of being alone, but not at the same time. After a while it skipped to another part of the dream. We were all locking ourselves in a school. There were strict rules you had to follow at specified times. Or else bad things would manifest. For example at 6:42 we werent allowed to wear green jewelry and we had to stay almost completely silent. I say almost because a few words meant nothing. But sentences with meaning can be twisted into bad manifestation. I was planning to meet mom so i could sit with her while we sat in silence for who knows how long this time. But when i saw her the time had already began and i walked up to her but she was talking. I shushed her and stood next to her. She talked, and we shushed her, she wasn't exactly a whole believer. But we knew. Mom was saying about how many girls there are compared to guys. Then after the time felt right we went back to normal. Then we heard what? I dont know but we started running away to another building. We were definitely running from something but i cant remember. This time it was a business building it looked like. We figured out the combination code on the lock and locked ourselves inside. I try to defend my mother to the other girls. I look over to mom and then I Woke Up.

Explosion
Fire
Jealous
Holiday
Husband
Son

Dream

In my dream I dreamt that me and my husband went away on holiday, but when we arrived we where sharing a room/apartment with 3 other women - his ex wife (who in our waking life is very difficult to get along with, they have a child together but very different styles of parenting) a woman I know who used to do my physio and another woman who I can’t remember. They are all very flirty with my husband and he was the same towards them. In the dream I’m asking my husband to look at booking another hotel, but he doesn’t want too, he says there’s point and he seems happy to socialize with them too - laughing joking etc which is making me feel very uncomfortable…. I then say to him that I’m not doing this and want to go home. In the dream all the women are saying to each other that I’m jealous and don’t trust my husband, they are not saying it directly to me. But they are right, I don’t trust him! - I am saying to my husband in the dream that they are all very unattractive and look trashy. In my waking life, that’s the opinion we have of both of the women known to me in the in the dream…. I then find myself walking along a road that’s close to my mums house, I’ve walked through the town centre close to my mums house too and there’s new houses being built, it’s Christmas time. As I’m crossing over this road, a petrol lorry is losing control, swerving all over the road, I think I’m with my son, but I don’t remember seeing him, I just felt like he was with me. As I’m watching the lorry cash into a roundabout, I run across the road towards my mums house, then I see fire, like someone has been set alight and know there might be an explosion, so need to get away, but no one is running. In my waking life, my mum is not talking to me, but I’m not 100% sure to why? It’s been a week since we last spoke?…..

Guy
Abandoned home
Bad
Car Crash
Explosion
Hostage

Dream

In this dream i had to tell a story to some kids in a gypsy like shop that i owned and i told the story of how my lover named jack in the dream died he was played by a guy that i dated in highschool named Josh that i have always had a weird dream connection with. It faded out of the shop and into the story, there was a big bad man of town that everyone was afraid of and it got to the point where the people of the town were scared to do or say anything because he was so unhinged. When the shop faded away i was in a huge nice empty house almost apocolypitic and the bad guy knocked on the door, i didnt answer because i knew nothing good would come of it but the door was one of those doors with the long glass sides and he saw me. I immediately pulled out my phone to call 911 until it was dark outside and my fingers kept slipping and i couldnt get out of this long scene. The bad man cameback i tried to escape from the back door the scene jump cut and the bad men had caught me and i was in a tall parking garage and there were other people of the town being held hostage there some were knelt down and blindfolded and he was shooting them, I saw an opportunity to get away and ran to a car that happened to be running and in this dream i couldnt drive i had just never learned, I put it in reverse not understanding and ran through the parking garage barricade which was a couple floors up from the bottom so it was a big crash down to the first floor, my ears were ringing and i was out of it. The bad men where running down and i was able to get up and find another car, the bad men finally got down to the 1st floor and were assessing the car, the car was so mangled that they had to get close to see if i was still in there, so while they were confused and looking i just in a maserati and i still cant drive but this time i figure it out and drive off, somehow i heard of this safe place it was the towns elementary school, other people of the towns homes were boarded up and the school was boarded up, I had gone to the school specifically looking for Jack and when i got there Jack ran out hugging and kissing me desperately in relief so we went inside and were sitting of the floor of a class room there were other people and we were catching up on everything that happened. I guess i had lead the bad men to the school and while we were all huddled and whispering they had set up dynimite around the school. Im not sure how we found this out but at this point i remember that the leader hates Jack but Jack never told me why. So of course at this point everyone is panicking and trying to figure out what to do, but there’s seemingly no way out but Jack and i remember as kids we had a way we would sneak out but only we can go out that way for some reson and so Jack and I make a dsh for it and make sure we dont see any bad men so after confirming no bad men we are full on sprinting across an open field to a treeline, one bad man spots us and radios it in to the leader and he come sprinting after Jack specifically, i had a weird thought that i think the leader is actually Jacks dad and thats why he doesnt want to tell me about their issue and a really tall heavy set guy comes chasing me at this point we’re still closer to the building then the treeline and as we’re all sprinting the building explodes and I see as im falling Jack and the leader poof into fine gold dust, in this dream world that is just a weird as the normal world no one has ever died like that, I feel the deepest pit in my stomach my throat it tight and the only think i can relate it too is the feeling you get from your first heartbreak so as i fall the heavy set man behind me falls dead onto me protecting me from the full blast of the explosion, I crawled from under him and I run to where Jack and the leaders bodies should be and i just cry and cry kneeling on the ground, the story zooms out and fades back into me older in age telling the story to the children in my shop and the dream ended but in a previous dream I would where wear this neckless with gold dust in it trying to learn about the special dust and trying to see if theres someone who knows where Jack went or how to bring him back with this dust… but im scared that maybe Jack was actually obliterated or the dust is his and the bad man and if i follow that trail i may bring him back instead of Jack.

Dream

Im in the army and I just dreamed that I was on my base in Germany with my buddies and when I was talking to my fellow soldiers outside I noticed the sky was completely clear but it was grey. And all the buildings were made of grey concrete. Then in the middle of a funny conversation we all suddenly heard really loud explosions off in the distance and I and everybody looked up into the sky and a look of pure terror came over everybody and everybody froze in place out of fear. When i looked in the sky to see what they were looking at I noticed two bomber planes that were dropping a constant flow of nuclear bombs being dropped from both planes. Then I could see massive mushroom clouds forming in the distance as the bombs began to detonate one by one while hearing very loud explosions. Nobody moved as they were too scared and also hopeless. I was the only one who started running in the opposite direction except I could actually run in this dream at a proportional speed to real life. Then my dream ended
