💡Possible meaning

When we experience strong negative emotions in our dreams our mind is trying to release them. The experience you had in your dream is something that you need to face in your waking life so you can resolve this issue. What we fear in the dream is often a representation of what we fear in waking life that we may not even be aware of.

🧭 Direction

Bad omen

Fear is our mind's way and telling us that we need to amend something or face unfavorable consequences. Fear can come from parts of ourself that are not resolved, and that anxiety manifests in the dream. By facing your fears, you will find your strength and learn how powerful you really are. You can do this, don't doubt yourself. Be resourceful and find a way to confront the problems and make a positive change. This can include cutting out people or things from your life that are toxic!

❤️ Feelings

This dream evokes a sense of unease and anxiety. It may leave you feeling scared or apprehensive about something in your waking life. The fear symbolizes deep-rooted concerns or insecurities that need to be addressed. It is important to explore the underlying emotions and confront any fears head-on to find resolution and peace.

Dream

I was at home in my bedroom with my friend, the lights were on and it was night time outside, we were playing games together when I got thirsty, I left my bedroom to go to the kitchen, the rest of the house was so dark I could barely see, from the kitchen in my grandparents doorway I saw a tall and dark silhouette with two glowing white eyes. It didn’t say or do anything but as soon as I looked at it I felt chills and sensed it’s negative energy. I went to sit down on the couch and hope it would leave me alone. I was on FaceTime with my friend and he was not talking either. The monster slowly moved toward me before rushing at me. It phased through me and it was so terrifying. There was a rush of noise as it happened then it was gone and it was dark again. I started to get up then saw it around the corner in the hallway. It ducked away and I ran down the hallway into my bedroom. My friend was no longer there. He was on the phone with me instead. My lights were off and my room was as dark as the rest of the house. I closed the door and locked it then I got in my bed in my blankets and still didn’t feel safe. Several minutes passed and under the door, through the light of the nightlight in the hallway, I saw a shadow standing right in front of my door. The feeling of dread and fear came back as I stared at it. The same dark shadow slowly appeared through my door and was standing and watching me from the corner of my room. i just held my blankets tighter and watched it. Then woke up.

Dream

Last night I dreamt that I was at this dance community and the teacher had me do some moves following after her, and she was so impressed and when she asked of my dance experience I said I had none. Everyone was so surprised the people around me were a lot younger so I felt behind, like i still see myself as a child or that I’m not where “adults” should be. But then I was in even though they never asked officially I was partnered up this this boy who didn’t want to be me partner at all. I felt super overwhelmed and inexperienced to be there, he didn’t like the fact that I was a nobody and that I was new, so I spoke up and said if you don’t like me or don’t want me to be here plz just communicate and talk to me, and he got over it, but there was Always tension. Then we sat against this wall the whole dance crew. I’m a bench. And watched others dancing it was really beautiful and this one girl was doing a backbend on roll skates! I was in awe there was this little girl who came up and said I hate black, for then my dance teacher said ofc not in that way, the theme was about sadness and anger, and they were doing a vocal expression of it as well as dance, the place felt like I’ve been there before, sort of like my job but more expanded we all lived there and dormed there, the hold time I felt unsure if this was what I wanted, incorporating or committing myself to something new, my days and time would be spent different, and I had lots of anxiety about how I would perform, and it felt hard to settle in, I wonder how else’s in my life the idea of doing something why I always go to “idk if this is for me” maybe always feeling unsafe? Or having to be on edge. But I wonder if flowing through it and sinking deeper into the possibilities of life could take me to a place I like. Cause the same is bringing me just that, and I seek for growth and change. So I want to be open to incorporating newness and committing to things that question if it’s for me,

Dream

I can’t remember how my dream started, but I know it had something to do with my grandparents house, the scientist guy from “The Simpsons,” and a black hole. I think the scientist was talking about black holes in my grandparents house. Anyway, in my dream, my mom, dad, sister, and I were all at this buffet mixed with a sit-down restaurant. We were talking and having a great time, when one of my friends came out of nowhere and started talking to us. She convinced my sister and I to go to a nearby store, and my dad went with us to make sure that we were safe. Once we got to the store, I noticed an invisible barrier around it and started freaking out. As it turns out, it wasn’t invisible barrier, it was just glass. Glass so clear and clean that I couldn’t see it. Once I got into the store, my dad disappeared and was replaced by another male shopper. Dream me failed to notice that though, she was too busy looking at what the store had. Meanwhile, my friend and the random shopper tried on some animal masks. As I was walking around, I found the ‘Anime’ section of the store. (Anime is another word for Japanese cartoons.) I saw that this section of the store had a membership option. I looked at the membership rules and saw how strict they were. The rules said that I could only watch certain animes and then listed the ones that I got to choose from. I decided to leave after reading the rules and went looking for my friend, but I couldn’t find her. That’s when I noticed two dolls in plastic wrap by the front register. They looked eerily similar to my friend and that random male shopper. They even had the masks that the two of them were wearing. Then, I heard a baby cry in the employee lounge of the store. It caught my sister’s attention too. Before anything else happened, my dream cut back to my mom, who was still at the restaurant. Everyone’s orders had arrived at this point, and she was playing with her food. Somehow, she created a black hole while playing with her food, and the scientist guy from The Simpsons started talking to her. He was like: “Don’t worry, this isn’t a real black hole. It may look like one, but it’s actually a worm hole. So, if it reaches critical mass and pulls us in, none of us would die.” Then, the black wormhole starts engulfing the Earth. It transports Earth to an alternate universe, which changes our reality. The biggest and most common change were people turning into animal hybrids. There was this surfer guy who turned part octopus. There was this young farm boy who turned into a goat person. It was weird. Anyway, dream me failed to notice what happened, and instead went into the employee’s lounge to see what was going on. Before I could get inside the room though, the cashier yelled at me, and I ran out of the store in fright. I ran into a random neighborhood and finally realized that my reality had been altered. I find the scientist guy from The Simpsons and run up to him. I tell him how I think the store I was at was turning customers into products and selling them to other customers. He told me that he couldn’t focus on that right now because he needed to find a way to fix everything. Shortly after saying that, he fixes everything and makes a documentary about the incident. It showed what the experience was like for both universes. While I watch the documentary, everything slowly goes back to normal. I teleport to my house, my family fades into existence, and we all sit down on the couch. Now that everything is back to normal, dream me feels safe and happy. (And then, my dream ended and I woke up.)

Dream

The main characters of my dream, who were doing an interview on a balcony, heard noises and went up to see what was happening. A killer ,who was unknown, secretly got into a room of two people that he wanted to kill. It was a personal matter to him. Someone else put themselves in front of the victim, who he was holding, to protect them. He told her to shoot herself in the mouth. And she did. Nevertheless, he still killed the other victim and didn’t stand on his word. Afterwards we found ourselves outside. But this other person who I was with right now wanted to check out what had happened due to their conscientiousness. I don’t remember who this was. It was either my sister or a friend. So we try to get inside of this building. By entering through the neighbouring building and going up with the lift. On our way, we saw two people coming from the opposite way. But we don’t say anything and go on. We keep everything a secret. On the last minute, when this person I am with (either my sister or another friend, I don’t know) goes to go up the last set of stairs and turn around to the said corridor where murder took place, I shut down. I don’t come up with her and actually want to tell her not to go. Since this is obviously a dangerous situation. But I can’t say anything out of fear the killer might still linger around and hear. And he does. The unknown person (sister or friend) goes up and asks something about what’s happening. The killer is very cold-blooded and gives off a thousand lies on what he’s doing up there and doesn’t even stutter. I didn’t see him. I was just anxiously waiting at the begginning of the stairs and not even on his level. But I was just scared that something might happen anytime soon. The killers lies, that I knew were curated, gave me the shivers and that’s when I woke up.

I’m supposed to go to church but this church is supposed to have a spirit in it. There is a mum who is practicing with the parishioners to say the right words. If we say the wrong words it might provoke the spirit . The church is old and a little run down. There are two words that we must say that are hard to remember. I feel anxious and don’t want to mess up the words for fear of bringing in the bad spirit
