Forest

Dream

Was with my family. A mom and two older brothers. We were driving amd there’s this gate with two girls guarding/advising visitors when passing through. When passing through there’s this forest wilderness you can either drive through or walk through. It was like a memory of the past where we all used to drive through as a family, going through rivers , hiking through mountain passes and at the end there’s this local forest community with a village at the end with some lovely people. There’s a time skip. it’s just my brothers and I. It isn’t clear but I think my mom isn’t with us anymore. We all meet up one last time , my older brother driving us near the gate entrance of that wildnerness path after the funeral service I think. I told them that it was good seeing them but I gotta move on and wanted to go back to the Forest village by myself. Saying goodbye at the gate where the two ladies were , I could tell my brothers were super worried and didn’t want me to venture out alone. While I started walking my middle brother ran after me and told me to watch out for beast eyes at night. They both started following me which was annoying and freaking me out to the point where I forgot my backpack. After bickering and traversing there , we got to the community and went inside the main kitchen building where a few people were. A brunette guy who is in his 30s , a dog , another Brazilian guy and one Asian guy. I felt reassured getting there and was banting with the guys there , preparing to live there. My brothers were there as well but I think they were going to go back to the gate with the ladies in the morning when it was safer in the day to the car.

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.

Famous Person

Dream

I went to a park with family. My son, brother, mother and sister were there. There was a giant Ferris wheel. I was a little hesitant to go on at first because it didn’t look very safe. My son seemed excited to try it, so we went on together. I held on to him tightly as the Ferris wheel began to turn. He somehow got away from my grip and was able to walk around the Ferris wheel by himself. I was confused as to how he was able to do that without falling off. My mom said it was because it was actually safe to do so. After the ride, I take Issac (my son) to the bathroom to change his diaper. I noticed how clean the bathroom was. As I was changing Issac in one of the stalls, I heard someone enter the restroom. Shortly after, the park security enters and announces that the restroom will be closing soon. He sees the person who was in the restroom with me and asks him if he’s the famous author. The person responds yes that’s me. After I was done I head out of the stall and run into the author. He lets me know that this restroom is closing early and to make my way out. As I look back at the stall I was inside, I noticed a few paper towels were left on the ground and I felt bad for not leaving it as clean as when I entered. I started to make small talk with the author because I was curious to know more about his career.

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. ---

Dream

Some kind of family reunion near or at a theme park. Even tho I didn’t recognize anyone but Peter. While there, I also was messaging Kim, accidentally from my sister’s phone. I remember thinking this was odd because wouldn’t she ask me, her best friend, and not my sister to help her find something? I was surprised to go out side and see Kim there with her mother. There were reflective bluish windows on the building, reflecting our appearances back to us briefly as we walked. Her mom was overweight and with short hair. Kim looked stressed to be with her. My mom and I had gotten there earlier and lost our parking pass, and had dug through pink soft sand at the front by the wall where we may have dropped it. Kim and her mom were Looking for a parking pass. We went digging in some soft pink sand near the entrance wall and after a while we did find it and they were so relieved. They had noticed that my mom and I had already been digging and there was traces of us digging in the same area and I explained and when I went back down to dig through the soft sand my I nudged a piece of plastic and came up with the laminated ticket and I was so happy and relieved. After that I broke away from Kim and returned with my family to take a family reunion picture in a building on the right. I was in a sour mood for some reason, but my brother was there and Peter was keeping me in a decent mood. He also gave the photographer a hard time, and she seemed to be a little unprofessional or unprepared, but nice enough. He even insulted the picture she took. When I was holding things and they asked me to put them down, I threw them to the side, rather peddly, and then I even felt a little bad because one of the items I was holding wasn't mine. After the pictures, we all left to the building on the left, a very similar structure, and went inside to like mingle and stuff. We noticed these weird hopping animals as we went inside and they said that they were aardvarks but in my head even in the dream I knew that they were some fantasy animal but we'll call them aardvarks. They were orange-ish, about knee-to-waist height, with long necks and curled, dulled claws on their hands. And their necks didn't move the way a duck neck would. They moved like snakes, flicking and stuff. It was unnerving, but they were kind of cute and just seemed curious. One of them tried to get inside, hopping and clawing at the door. And I was joking at first, holding the door closed and telling my family about it, but the aardvark got more aggressive and insistent and it wouldn't give up and I kept holding the door and it was getting harder to hold the door closed from it. The door started to bend at the top and its claws came through and its neck and it was trying to come in, getting closer. Eventually, right before I woke up, I lost my grip on the door and the aardvark burst inside at my feet. I remember trying to nudge it with my foot and how odd it felt against my ankle and me being worried that it was going to bite me or something. Earlier in the dream there was something vague about wandering and trying to get to a destination urgently and yet feeling lost at some kind of convention in a dark building. There were other people there, but I can't remember much of the details. I know that there was a nice but busy priest nearby. I know that I think I was trying to get back to my mom or my family. I know that there was an odd bit about the parrot, Iago from Aladdin, and Sour Patch Kids with some kind of factory where they would squeeze through these child-sized holes. And the Sour Patch Kids were child-sized and also alive and had the voices of children and I remember feeling very anxious about that moment because it was almost like it was foreshadowing what if that happened to a real child and would they survive the candy factory and probably not because it would squish them or hurt them or something.

Dream

I was visiting Paris with my family, but I had gone off to explore on my own. The sky was all pinks and oranges and as I walked on a bridge over the Seine it was so picturesque. At a gathering for some kind of public figure, maybe a comedian or motivational speaker, a member of my family had gone missing and was up on top of a hill. He was a little boy at the beginning of the dream, but when he came back he was a young man. The crowd, led by the speaker, sang The Battle Hymn of the Republic to draw the boy back to us, and eventually he came back. The crowd swarmed the speaker in gratitude but I was confused because I didn’t think I had a brother. People kept telling me I did, and I felt guilty that I didn’t remember him. I especially didn’t think he was because he was much darker-complexioned than I am. I said, “well, I’m going to whoop his ass anyway, even if he’s not my brother!” As we walked with him back towards our living quarters, I expressed my confusion to him. He seemed sheepish and embrassed about the whole ordeal. I understood that he had been suicidal, so I pulled him close and asked him if he still was. It seemed that he was okay now. Suddenly I realized that he and I had the same olive complexion and a huge, curly reddish afro. He was definitely my brother after all. At the end of the dream, the family sat around playing video games on their respective phones.

Mall

Dream

I went to therapy, this place is so full of kids and it looks like a mess, i feel familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Kids kept running around, in and out of rooms. At first it looks creepy and dark, then it became nicer when I go closer to the room where I'm supposed to be. I walked in the room to see the therapist, she knows me. It seems like I've been here before but I stopped after such a long time. She asked me "Do you know the hardship of acquaintances?", I said no. She then continues "Do you know the hardship with your friends?", I said no then yes in confusion. Then she asked the last question " Do you know the hardship with your partner or best people?" I said yes, then she realised something about me and started to flirt with me. She started to hint her personal issues, as she knows that I would ask about it, which is true, I did. I actually cared. She then talked about her problems while I listen, and we became very close in emotions and physical distance. I noticed it, and the whole time in my head was "does she actually like me or she's trying to do something to me because she knows something hmm?". It felt like she was doing it to show me my problem and to make me realise it. I then moved on to the second dream. I was with my family in a large mall and we were separated almost all the time, it feels like i was lost. If i look for them, my dad would be sitting downstairs, my sister would be in a store looking for some items, and my mom would be everywhere. There's this giant white disk outside the indoor balcony of the mall, and it spins subtly. I somehow crossed the balcony rails and stood on that disk unknowingly that I almost fell down, I had to react quickly, grabbing the rails to get in. Later, my mom crossed the balcony as well while i was yelling her not to do so, but it was too late and the same thing happened to my mom. When she got back in safely, we went around together and we went straight into the concert of 21 pilots band. I saw the drummer, josh dun, he was looking at me while performing and I got to fist bump with him , twice. After a song, someone forced a piece of paper in my hand, turns out it was the ticket to join a side show that i and another person were the lucky people to join. The host was looking at me while introducing the show, they were forcing me to join, but I gave the ticket to my mom, telling her to join for me while i run upstairs. When i came upstairs, it was quiet and i was alone at night. It was scary because upstairs is nothing but concrete columns, concrete floor and concrete ceiling. I could see the moonlight shining up this place. Then it became morning and i was wearing a high quality black and white suit. I saw some guy was in a hot tub in the corner of this place. It's a weird-looking magical tub as it has a nature touch that makes it look like a 150cm hot stream, but it was on the second floor. It doesn't even look like a tub, and it only opens small holes for people to step in the close it around the human body, which makes it also look expensive. When I look down, there were people downstairs playing around on a grass field, it looks like this place is where rich people come to hang around. I had an assistant coming for me and informing me about important businesses, but I ignored him immediately and started to climb a concrete column. I held it and felt my body was light, then i looked down trying to see where to put my feet and push. I did it and my hands reached the floor above, thought to myself about how proud i was to be able to do that for the first time in so long, then i decided to come back down. I then met 4 guys in navy suits, they're brothers and CEOs of something. It seems like we're in the same business. They looked half white and hispanic. Using a super advanced technology, they projected their individual photos with the same beautiful rock background on the thin air. Then we sat in the corner, behind a huge rock. It was a personal meeting and they were talking and crying, being emotional about a brother quitting his job. The oldest brother said sweet and empathetic words, it was nice for them. Then it turns out that the consequences of that brother quitting were pretty huge, all of them are gonna lose the job and I saw the brother who was quitting felt sad shameful, and regretful. I then gave a hug to the oldest to comfort him and the atmostphere.
