I had a reoccurring dream that me and a bunch of other people were running through the plains and towards the woods as we attempted to runaway from Native Indians who were attempting to kill us. Right when I got to the border of the woods two big oxen emerged in front of me blocking part of my path and two natives with guns emerged in front of me. I made eye contact with one as I laid down on the ground on my stomach looking up to him in surrender. Looking to him with complete vulnerability as he points his gun to me. As he looks into me his eyes begin to show sympathy and sadness. He puts the gun down and the unspoken language communicated “play dead” so that’s what I did and then dream ended.

The dream had a coherent narrative, transitioning smoothly from fleeing to the tense standoff in a logical manner.

Escape from the Plains

The dream carried a heavy emotional weight as I felt both fear and vulnerability while being chased.

The intensity peaked as I faced the native with a gun, evoking a strong sense of life-or-death urgency.

Despite its fantastical elements, the dream felt realistic, especially during the intense moments of confrontation.

The details were strikingly vivid, especially the expressions on the natives' faces and the surrounding landscape.

Jantzen, your dream presents a rich tapestry of emotions and symbols that speak to deeper aspects of your psyche. The setting of running through the plains with others suggests a sense of urgency and perhaps a collective experience of fear or anxiety. This could symbolize a situation in your waking life where you feel pressured or under threat, not necessarily from external forces, but perhaps from internal struggles or societal expectations. The inclusion of other people in the dream amplifies this notion of shared experience, indicating that you may not feel alone in your challenges, but are still grappling with them on a personal level.

  As you approach the woods, the imagery becomes particularly significant. Woods often represent the unknown or a journey into the subconscious. The fact that you feel the need to run toward them while simultaneously being pursued suggests a desire to confront these unknown aspects of yourself, yet there is also an instinctive fear of what lies within. The oxen emerging as barriers could symbolize strength and an impenetrable force in your life, perhaps representing responsibilities or challenges that feel overwhelming and obstructive. They could also evoke a sense of being trapped between your instincts and the pressures of your environment.

  Meeting the gaze of the native with a gun indicates a confrontation with fear. Laying down and surrendering is a powerful act of vulnerability. This moment can be interpreted as a deep yearning for acceptance and understanding, not just from others but from yourself.

Dream About Running From Natives

I was staying over at a friends house. It was a large gathering of family and friends and we were celebrating. At one point i needed some medicine for a headache. My mom was there and I asked her for some and she came some Excedrin. I took some and went on enjoying the party. Later in the evening I noticed a little girl next to the pill bottle and it was open, I asked her if she took some of those pills and she said yes. I panicked.. immediately thinking it’s my fault because I was the one who asked for the medicine. I asked her how many she ate- she said three. And then she also told me she gave some to her baby brother and the dog. I immediately alerted my mom and then we started alert everyone. The mother of children was asleep and we had to wake her to tell her what happened. I remember thinking we need to go to the hospital right now but the mother didn’t want to that. She just wanted to ride it out. As we all were there we were anxious. We knew the children were at high risk and as the night grew they became more sick and started coughing. The baby was going through some serious metamorphosis and at one point the baby’s head fell off and then an adult was like nope- and they grabbed the baby’s head and slammed it back on the body and the baby was okay. The dog was doing okay and so was the little girl but they were struggling. I couldn’t find my friend and I finally got a hold of her and told what happened. At one point we realized everyone was going to be okay. Taylor swift showed up and thanked my sister, who is a nurse, for saving the baby. I tried asking her something and she went behind a door immediately. When I was trying to leave the party to go home. I was in the parking lot and a group of mostly men who looked like they were in a gang found me and asked for money for their troubles. I gave it to them. Another group of men did the same.

Dream About Medicine And Anxiety

I dreamed about a guy I like and we were hanging out and then I was supposed to leave, but somehow I overstayed and I don’t know if I was sleeping in my car or what it was, but he expected me to already be gone. I remember waking up in the dark and carefully walking down the road, hoping that he didn’t see that I was still there and had fallen asleep, because I really didn’t know what was going on with him, and I always felt like he was hiding something and I didn’t feel comfortable being seen by him. so here I was sneaking away, but walking in the dark down the road away from his house, and then suddenly I was in someone else’s house, and I don’t remember if I knew him, but I was sitting on the couch with nothing around me but either a towel or a blanket and I was talking to this guy and I don’t think anything untoward happened … and suddenly his wife or girlfriend walked into the room and probably didn’t believe that nothing had happened, and so I was hugely uncomfortable and scared and embarrassed, and I tried to tell her nothing happened and I hurried to another room to get dressed so I could leave. But obviously as anyone would, I could tell that she was really angry at me and thought I was the scum of the earth basically. I felt so uncomfortable and unwanted in both situations and I just wanted to get out of there. This is related to something that happened yesterday where a guy I really like, but who seems to always have red flags and be unavailable, didn’t have more time to spend with me on our date and seems to always be in a hurry and there are a lot of trust issues with him.

The dream's coherence was low, with a disjointed narrative that jumped from one scenario to another without clear connections.

Sneaking Away from Unwanted Situations

The dream had a tense and uncomfortable emotional tone, reflecting feelings of fear and embarrassment in two different situations.

The intensity was high, as the dream was filled with anxiety about being seen and judged, creating a strong sense of urgency to escape.

The dream felt somewhat realistic as it involved relatable social dynamics, but the surreal transitions between locations added an element of unreality.

The dream was moderately vivid, with clear images of sneaking away and the interactions on the couch, yet some details were hazy.

Jen, your dream weaves a complex tapestry of your emotions and experiences, particularly concerning your feelings about the guy you like. The act of hanging out with him represents a desire for connection and intimacy, yet the looming sense of having to leave signifies an underlying tension in your feelings—perhaps a fear of being too vulnerable or exposed. This duality of wanting to stay but feeling the pressure to leave reflects the ambivalence you may feel in the relationship, especially considering your awareness of the red flags and trust issues. It’s as if your subconscious is wrestling with the reality of wanting closeness while simultaneously recognizing the dangers of overstepping boundaries in a situation that feels precarious.

  As you found yourself in a state of confusion about whether you were asleep in your car or not, it suggests a feeling of being caught in limbo. This could symbolize a lack of clarity in your relationship with him—a space where you’re not fully awake to the reality of his unavailability and the hidden aspects of his character that you suspect. The darkness that enveloped you as you tried to sneak away indicates a fear of being discovered, perhaps reflecting your anxiety about the precariousness of your feelings towards him and the potential fallout if things were to go wrong.

  Transitioning into another house where you were seated on a couch with just a towel or blanket implies vulnerability. It’s a portrayal of how exposed you feel in social situations, especially when there’s a possibility for misunderstanding or misinterpretation of your intentions. When the wife or girlfriend enters, the profound sense of discomfort and embarrassment you experience highlights your fears about being judged and misunderstood by others.

Dream About Sneaking Away From A Guy

I was relaxing in what appeared to be my grandparent's house combined with my aunt's house with my aunt, grandpa, and grandma. I went to the kitchen to get a soda can but all the flavors they had seemed weird, so I didn't grab anything to drink and sat back down. My grandpa asked what was wrong and I explained that they didn't seem to have any good soda. He said "these ones are fancy and expensive, you should try one, they're good!" I denied and he seemed upset that I didn't try one. Then it started to rain outside and I heard the patter of the rain on the windows. My feet started to feel wet so I searched around the house to try and find the source. One of the windows had a hole in it and water was rushing in like a broken dam. I was scared to call anyone over to help because I thought they would think that this was my fault when its obviously not. I didn't know what to do so I called out to my grandpa, and he ran over. He pushed the air conditioner out of the window and sealed the window shut. He didn't mention anything about it besides "nice catch". My grandma agreed that the sofa flavors were weird, and was going over to a neighbor's house to see if anyone had anything good. My grandpa tried to stop her but she insisted she'll be fine on her own. Then I went outside to walk in the woods. I saw a black bear that was chasing another guy. I ran up to it to try to scare it away, but then it came after me instead. I raised my arms all the way in the air and shouted at it but it wasn't scared in the slightest. It grabbed my arm with it's mouth and bit down hard. I tried to fight for my life but also tried to stay calm hoping it would stop, but it kept going. Eventually it let go and stumbled away in the woods. I returned inside the house and explained that I thought I could do it, but obviously I can't. I then had a flashback in my dream of my mom flee from a black bear and climbed to the top of a tall pine tree in order to escape it. I remember feeling that I'm not match for it as I couldn't climb a tree to save my life. I felt defeated.

My family and I were about to move to our new house with 3 bedrooms. My mom and I were arguing about the rooms and I said "it won't be long I have the third room, I'm moving anyways" so I went outside and saw rhe construction flags in the ground. I asked the construction man for a ride and he was venting about his workers  not doing their job, and I asked if you need a degree for my friend to have this job and they said yes. One person was in his truck and asking for to pick up his friend. We picked up his friend and then went through a dessert to repo his friends boat. His friend complained about trucking and how he failed and now he needs money. His boat was dirty but it got cleaned after we picked it up. He dropped me off at my mom's new house and said something(I don't remember what he said). And I went to my new room and laid down. The house was a trailer home in the middle of the ocean. I was a little scared at first but the fear went away. Laid in my bed and was chilling and about to fall asleep. My mom kept trying to come in my room and warn me about the weather and she was worried and regretted moving to the new house. It began to storm a thunderstorm and we were worried the house would fall apart in the middle of the ocean. My mom laid next to me to comfort me.

I jad a dream where i was in a School and a lot of people liked me because they talked to me. The atmosphere looked pretty bright, not like my other dreams.I was in a canteen outside the school and there was also a theatre area connected to the canteen. Then na alarm went off and like a brave person i go to check it out and try to fix it but im not sure what happend in the bathrooms. Every one starts running so I guide some people to the exit and then leave myself, tho I don't wanna leave because I left my phone behind somewhere, I try looking for it but there was a teacher nearby so I had to run. So we run to the front of the school where I'm with a teacher and I see a long limousine vehicle pull up to us and the driver says that they can take 1 more person. I tell the teacher to go and he goes. Then a jeep car comes up to me and my dad and tells that there's one more seat so I tell dad to go and he does. Then when I'm near the school entrance a woman on a cleaning robot vehicle tells me to get on and to my suprise this cleaning robot had two seats. I get in with her but she drives me to the laboratory inside the school where a scientist is analyzing something. Me and another guy are told to watch over a guy called George Floyd, the one that was killed because he couldn't breathe, it was George Floyd's ghost. So I go into the chamber and face George Floyd head on, me and him have a metal pipe. I thought he was gonna hit me but he missed. I quickly apprehend him and try to strangle him with the metal pipe but he's fine, so I stop and I leave him inside. When I leave a feel a sense of "we need to do something about this".

Dream About School Safety And George Floyd

I dream that there’s some kind of apocalyptic event and Shayne and I lock ourselves in the basement of our house. It seems to have been designed for something like this. I am both familiar and unfamiliar with the space. Shayne is hurt and is mostly lying in the middle of the floor. I go look around the space but it’s hard to see since there’s no electricity. I gather up a bunch of eggs. Somehow chickens have been laying eggs down here. No sign of the chickens tho. I find them in all sorts of nooks and cranny’s and I stop when I see one too many cobwebs and spiders. I go back to Shayne. I don’t think we talked much. Eventually we pull out this really long piece of bread and there is meat tomato sauce piled on top of it. We eat. 

I start to hear noises upstairs, but not very loud and consistent so I try to brush it off. But then two men come down into the basement. At first I am scared then relieved, then scared again when I realize they are just trying to loot. I close one of the doors behind me and lock it. I cover up the peep hole with my finger. Shayne is passed out as they start to try and break down the door. Eventually they stop. I open the door and walk past them and out of the house. I get a few houses down and sneak into one with an open door. I am worried about Shayne but I have no plan. At the back of this new house there is a group of people taking turns bathing in a hot tub full of water. They all give me looks but no one speaks. I lay down for a minute and one of the bathed men comes to sit by me. He doesn’t speak. He has very long hair and an unruly beard. I don’t feel unsafe but I don’t want to be there anymore. Then I wake up.

The sequence of events feels disjointed, transitioning abruptly from hiding in the basement to sneaking into another house.

Apocalyptic Basement

The dream evokes a mix of fear and relief as the protagonist navigates an apocalyptic scenario with a hurt companion.

The intensity escalates when intruders attempt to break in, creating a palpable tension.

The setting feels somewhat familiar yet strange, with the basement appearing designed for emergencies but lacking clear lighting.

Details like the cobwebs, spiders, and the long piece of bread with meat sauce create a moderately vivid image.

Abby, your dream is rich with symbolism and emotional depth, reflecting a complex interplay of feelings regarding safety, connection, and survival. The apocalyptic setting immediately suggests that you may be grappling with significant changes or fears in your waking life, possibly related to your relationship with Shayne or broader life circumstances. Locking yourselves in the basement indicates a desire for protection and security, yet the space itself feels both familiar and unfamiliar, hinting at a struggle to navigate the known and unknown aspects of your life and relationship. This duality may reflect feelings of comfort amidst uncertainty.

  Shayne's injury and his passive state on the floor could represent a sense of helplessness or vulnerability within your relationship. Your instinct to explore the basement, despite the lack of light and electricity, signifies a quest for understanding or clarity. Gathering eggs, a symbol of potential and new beginnings, suggests that even in times of crisis, you're seeking to nurture and find sustenance, both literally and metaphorically. The presence of cobwebs and spiders introduces an element of fear or anxiety—perhaps indicating that there are areas of your life or relationship that feel neglected or are causing you discomfort.

  The moment you share food with Shayne, a long piece of bread topped with meat and tomato sauce, is quite telling. Food often symbolizes nourishment and connection, and in this context, it reflects your desire to maintain intimacy and support each other, despite the chaos surrounding you. However, the intrusion of the two men seeking to loot heightens the sense of vulnerability. Initially feeling scared, then relieved, and then scared again, reveals the emotional rollercoaster you might be experiencing in your life. This could relate to external pressures or threats that feel invasive, and your instinct to lock the door reflects a protective response.

  When you leave the basement and sneak into another house, it appears you are searching for safety or solace in an unfamiliar environment.

I was at a birthday party of a girl I went to highschool with and my best friend was there too. In my dream that girl was really rich and as a surprise she booked all the favourite artists of the guests that came to play live music. Mine and my best friend's favourite artist came and we were really excited but the others didn't like it. We also brought all our pets and I had my elderly cat with me and we were in an appartment really high up and the pets we're going in and out of a window, then had to climb down a net to get to the ground. I didn't want my cat to do that cause she is really old and I was scared she was gonna fall down. I tried to befriend her with the other pets but they all just growled at her, some even fought with her which made me really sad

Dream About Escaping Apocalypse With Friends

I went with my cousin in her car to drive to my grandparents and she was driving like crazy. She missed the turning and ended up in some really narrow back streets and she wouldn't listen when I told her to turn around.
We ended up at someone's huge private estate and I told her to turn around quickly but she ignored me and drove like crazy through their land. The owners saw us in the window and I told her to keep driving and get back on the road and dissappear. They sent a man on a silver bike after us so I told her to drive as fast as she could to lose him but she got the car stuck at a tight turn. We ran through the narrow streets trying to find our grandparents but we ended up at a dead end and the man trapped us.
I told her to stay quiet and hide but she started blubbering and wailing crying that she was sorry and scared and I had to hold my hand over her mouth. Because she was crying the man found us and cocked a gun at my head and I woke up

The dream was somewhat disjointed, as the transitions from driving to being chased lacked clear logic, yet it maintained a gripping narrative.

The Chaotic Drive to Grandparents

The dream had a tense emotional tone, highlighted by the fear and anxiety of being chased and feeling helpless.

The intensity was high due to the chase, the feeling of being trapped, and the threat of danger with a gun involved.

The realism was moderate, as the setting of driving and hiding felt relatable, but the extreme situation escalated quickly.

The vividness was notable, especially in the details of the private estate and the panic of the chase, making the dream quite memorable.

Jasmine, your dream reflects a complex web of emotions and situations that are deeply intertwined with your subconscious mind. The initial setting of driving with your cousin symbolizes a shared journey or experience in your life. The fact that she is driving recklessly may indicate a feeling of lack of control or anxiety about the direction your life is taking. It could suggest that you feel your choices are being influenced by others, which can often lead to feelings of frustration and helplessness. Your attempt to guide her by suggesting she turn around represents your desire to regain control, not just in this dream, but in your waking life as well. 

  When the turning is missed and you find yourselves in narrow back streets, this illustrates a sense of being trapped or lost. Narrow streets can symbolize limited options, and feeling stuck in a situation that you did not choose. Your insistence on turning around reflects a yearning for safety and familiarity, particularly in relation to your grandparents, who may represent a source of comfort and guidance in your life. The fear of being caught by the estate owners suggests an awareness of the consequences of actions taken without thought or care, perhaps reflecting your own fears about making mistakes or being judged.

  The appearance of the man on the silver bike adds a layer of tension and urgency to your dream. The bike can symbolize a pursuit of truth or an aspect of yourself that is relentless and unyielding.

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.
