💡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.

Love

Dream

I was waiting for something to happen. The government was changing and not in a good way. Love was declared a disease and religions were under attack. There’s a procedure, a lobotomy really, which took away a person’s ability to feel emotions on a deep level. The phrase “better doesn’t always mean better for everyone. It always means worse for some.” Kept running through my head. I was scared. I didn’t know how to resist and I didn’t want to lose my ability to feel

Dream

I started off as me working for somewhat of a large company. A few of the departments were shut down so a lot of people were let go. I then remember being at an amusement park very similar to Disney. I believe I was there with my son’s dad who is my ex. We were waiting in different lines. In one of the lines we met another male figure. We were trying to go on all of the rides. We only had a few rides left. One of them was a rollercoaster which I have a fear of. I was very scared to get on but I ended up getting on. It wasn’t as bad as I though I actually had fun.

Dream

I heard Luke (6 years old) outside screaming “stop it” When I went to check on him, he was on the front steps being pinned down. A 13 year old girl was punching him in the face while her twin brother held him down with his foot on his throat. (Both were identical, blonde, skinny, cocky) I chased them into the back yard and caught the girl. I held her face in a muddy puddle that coincidentally had animal feces in it. I wanted to drown her. Her brother tried to double team me and I told him, “back off, you’re next.” He abandoned his sister and ran. I held the girl’s face in the mud and told her that if I see her again I’d show her what a real psychopath is. I got Luke inside and told him not to go back out without at least one adult. I woke up in fight or flight mode. I was scared and furious.

Wedding

Dream

My husband and me were getting ready for a wedding. We were in some kind of venue getting ready with other people too. I was in a wedding dress but I wasn’t the bride. It was interesting because I knew the wedding dress was still the appropriate thing to wear. I was interrupted by a young man who invited to come party with a bunch of other people. He walked me outside to a big green lawn. The vibe was eerie, it felt like halloween. When I looked around I noticed the sky was pitch black, like there was no moon or stars just artificial lawn lights. The young man told me to wait for a second because something was about to happen and it would be a great addition to my “costume”. The surprise was blood that was shooting up from the ground like a sprinkler system. And everyone started celebrating dancing around in the blood trying to get as drenched as they could. I immediately left. I knew I shouldn’t be there and that I should be back inside getting ready for the wedding. On my way back inside I noticed I had a bit of blood on my white dress but as I approached the doors the blood evaporated and my dress was pure white again. My husband was still in the bathroom getting ready I joined him again and when I looked in the mirror I noticed blood dripping from my head but it was different. It was like heavy. It seemed to be coming from this invisible never ending source. I was scared and wanted to cover it.

I went on another trip to another conference called challenge, and my church and school friends are there. We explored and it was fun. Cops wanted to ask us questions but we said nope and jumped in the water. Suprisning we were walking in when the water was 50 feet deep and half of our bodies were in the water. We walked to an observatory to look at the night sky. I saw a giant yellow tear in the night sky and I felt worried. We went back to the place we were staying at and the beds suck. It was the same time when we woke up, so we got 11 seconds of sleep. Only a couple of us went to the woods. Then a talking hybrid deer came by and wanted to greet us. One of my friends got scared and hid in a tree.

I had a nightmare. I was in my old neighborhood in Florida. The street lights laminating everything poorly like it did in the neighborhood. I was following one of those toy cars that toddlers can drive but it was driving itself. It had head lights as we went down the street. I remember us taking a right and then another to another street but that street was pitch black. As the car continued to go down the road it laminated nothing but itself. I got scared do I went back to the original street. Some houses where missing and dark figures littered the street. Each one being my worst fear. I walked down the road with my head down. Then I started running ending up in a party. I woke up because I felt something grab me and drag me away

I was just continuously getting exhausted. my fiancé’s mom grabbed me and told me that it’s not worth it and that I should leave her alone, but I continued to try to beat the woman up. She ran into a closet, and I pulled her out by the hair of her head and told her to talk to me and face me, and she just continuously started smiling and laughing at me then she laid out a whole bunch of apers and pictures of my baby and I took them and I started ripping them up and she just kept laying more out and I was getting so frustrated and I started taking things and throwing them against the wall and just getting so exhausted because I was so upset And then I turned back around and she has walked out the back door so I tried following her and she gets into this little minivan and two people come out of the minivan and are asking what is going on so I tell them that it’s a lot of drama between me and her and they say OK will come with us and they get onto a golf cart and my fiancé’s mom comes out as well and is driving the golf cart and I’m is my fiancé and they keep saying he’s in the house with my baby.

Dream

I was hiking on this steep high snowy mountain with friends when it started to get dark and none of us had equipment that was working properly. We didn’t have any sleeping bags or tents so it was crucial to find some type of shelter because it was going to get below 0° that night. We finally hike up far enough and find an abandoned ski lift and ski house. The sun and at its finally peak of light slowly going down behind the mountain when I say “we need to hurry up NOW” as it starts getting dark. We try to reach the ski house but hear screams and all of a sudden something is chasing and hunting us. We all scatter and I run and run and hide. I’m cold and scared and need to find a way out, I make it to the ski house and find a friend we try to home up in there as long as we can being as quiet as we can and look for our other friends. It gets later and there hasn’t been noises for what seems like a good while now. We tell each other someone needs to look to see if there anything visable out there. We’re both terrified to do so. Just as we are both about to lift our heads up to see out the window the creature/murderer is right behind us And chases us until we all die

Man

Dream

I'm in a single room house that is covered in blueish, glowing crystalized ice, a single door behind me, and a man sitting in the middle of the room. He has long brown hair, is wearing a long dark trenchcoat, and I can hear him whittling away at something in his hands. I grow curious and approach him to look over his shoulder. He's carving a lion figurine that's lying down with it's head turned. I'm impressed by the detail and craftsmanship of the carving. It looks realistic to the point of being lifelike. When all of a sudden, I get a sense of dread come over me. Almost as if I'm not supposed to be there in that place, let alone behind this man. I take a single step back and the ice below my foot melts under me, causing me to slip and fall on my back with a hard thud. This causes the man to lift his head, but he doesn't look at me. It seems like he's aware of me at this point, if he wasn't aware of me the entire time. In a panic, I scramble to get to my feet and run for the door, which evaporates in front of me the moment I get close. Frustrated, I pound a closed fist on the wall left behind where the door used to be. At this point, I turn around and the man is standing five feet away from me, knife in his right hand, aimed at the floor. He's staring at me curiously with soft blue eyes, but makes no movement towards me. He has a long beard to match his long brown hair, and is wearing a white robe while being completely barefoot. As I stare back, I feel an overwhelming sense of fear as I look at him. However, I can't rationally explain why I am afraid of him. I only know that I am afraid of him enough to cause my lip to quiver as I press my body against the wall. At that moment, the man begins to approach me, gripping the knife tighter. The sense of fear is too much for me to handle and I drop to my hands and knees in front of the man. "Please, have mercy!" I cry out, causing the man to stop. I'm near fully genuflecting to this stranger crying my eyes out in front of him. "I didn't mean to be nosy! I'm so sorry! Please... please, have mercy on me! I am begging you!" At this point, I'm questioning why I should be afraid of this man. He had thus far presented no threat towards me. It like I'm ashamed of my behavior even though I feel justified for feeling afraid. As I try to compose myself, I feel the flat side of the blade rest on the bottom of my chin. My body lightly trembles at the touch of the cold steel, as my mind races. "This is it," I say to myself. "This is how I'm going to die. This stranger is going to kill me." To my surprise... he doesn't. He simply uses the knife to raise my head until it levels out. The edge of the blade rests and presses gently on my throat once my head comes to rest. My eyes are closed due to my fears and I'm still trembling. After a few seconds of the man not doing anything else, I somehow summon up my courage and open my eyes. The stranger is staring back at me, bending his right knee with his left land resting on his left knee. Something about his face seems kind as my breathing hastens at first. However, after some time, my breathing stabilizes and the sense of fear goes away. Finally, the man does something after what feels like a solid minute of us staring each other down. He glides the blade from right to left across my throat. My lip quivers once more and my brow furrows as I reach for my throat the moment the knife is removed. He calmly sets the blade down immediately after I clutch my neck. To my continued surprise, there's no cut. No blood coming out. I remove my hand and there's no blood there either. After realizing this, I look back at the stranger and he gracefully smiles at me. He stands up, reaches out with his left hand towards me, and says, "Rise, my child." Without much thought, I feel compelled to reach out to him and he helps me back on my feet. It's at this point I notice a hole in his hand as I grasp it. He leads me by the hand like a parent guiding a child, bends down to pick up the lion carving, then gives it to me. "The Leo will show you the way." He says as I admire the figurine. I look up to tell him thank you, but he is nowhere in sight. As I'm looking for him, I turn to see the door that had evaporated before has now returned. As I faze upon it, it opens, a bright white light shines through, and I can hear a lion's roar.

Dream

I dreamt about seeing two of my old close friends at some camp place (we were in a building) and those friends of mine don’t even talk to each other. I eavesdropped and they said they can be partners for a certain activity and in that activity you need three people but I was scared to ask them for some reason if I can join. They went downstairs and I followed them and then outside, it was all muddy and there was a huge forest with a small playground. They grabbed a large blue tricycle (the length was long but the height was the same as my friend’s) and then they rode on it away from two other kids from my old school that I got along with too but not close. Apparently they were playing hide and seek and I watched them play. My two close friends rode the tricycle into this circus like tent. I asked if I could play soon and one of my close friends said ‘of course but just wait until next round because it’s still going!’ in a cheerful tone and I was glad he allowed me to play. Soon, I rode the large blue tricycle away from the two boys that I got along with but not close and I rode it in the tent. Then the dream ended and I woke up disappointed

I had a dream that a friend was over, someone I had never seen before. She had red, curly hair in a messy bun. I forgot what exactly she was doing there, but then she started just….snorting cocaine for some reason. I don’t approve of it so I say “oh I’m gonna go smoke a cigarette outside” to find a chance to call the police. She notices and grabs my hand, and starts injecting something into it. My heartbeat starts going really fast and I feel like I’m dying, and I begin to feel worried about what will my gf feel like when she finds me. Then I woke up
