I was at a beautiful outdoor funeral in Japan, it seemed like springtime during the day. I was sitting next to someone in the front row but I’m not sure who, and I don’t know who the funeral was for. I remember hoping someone from a Japanese reality TV show I’d seen was attending, and hoping that they were observing me/desiring me. During the service, a couple of hummingbirds appeared above and in front of us, and then a couple more to the other side, and they all started flying together, and then a bunch more appeared and they all danced in a swarm kind of and we were all in awe and subdued happiness with the birds.

Dream About Funeral Hummingbirds Japan

This dream was weird. It took me back to when I was 18 and I almost died of sepsis and pneumonia, but, in this dream, I did die. And I was a ghost. When my funeral came around I watched from the other side. It was a Marvel and DC-themed funeral, where all of my family and friends were wearing superhero costumes, my sister was dressed as Harley Quinn and she was smirking, my mom was dressed as Wonder Woman, and so on. They played rock music like “Stairway To Heaven” and “Bohemian Rapsody” It was an epic send-off.

Dream Of Superhero Funeral

The first part of my dream i found out my oldest daughter's father passed away ( still very much alive in waking life). I felt so devistated although we do not have a good relationship. I remember having to tell my daughter that her biological father that she has never met died. She was very upset. We went to the funeral and his family wanted pictures with my daughter and the corpse of her father. This family has never met my daughter and I remember feeling so enraged that they didn't want to be a part of her life. I also remember there being a shelf above his body with toy blocks on it and I wanted some for my youngest daughter.
Next I was riding in a car and we were going out to our farm land. I was so excited because we had a bunch of new baby giraffes out there. And our pastor was out there giving the baby giraffes chiropractic adjustments.

Dream About Father Passing And Baby Giraffes

I had a dream that a friend of mine named Diana that I met at a drug program  a long time ago passed away. But what’s confusing to me is that it was Diana herself that told me about the death. The confusion didn’t seem to have any effect on my grief or sadness, as I felt immense sorry and began to sob uncontrollably.  I was trying to get something nice to wear for her funeral so I decided to go shopping at the mall. While at the mall I was playing on some kind of playground or play structure and I remember looking down and trying to decide how best to get down, as all of the slides were very tiny and I didn’t want to get stuck. I believe eric and my youngest son Donivan were there playing with me and there were multiple kinds of slides but I didn’t think I would be small enough to fit down any. I began shopping at some stores when I noticed security guards were following me. I know I didn’t do anything wrong so I kept shopping as usual ignoring them but while leaving the mall the lost prevention people tried to surround and detain me even though I didn’t do anything wrong.  they were trying to search me and they were taking up all my time and being rude to me and holding me against my will so I ran out of the first store and into another and suddenly more appeared and they began to Chase me. I ran outside and I found a woman companion somehow and we took off on horseback and we ended up in the wilderness, going on a long journey and Riding away from them throughout the rest of the dream. She had a shotgun with her and one by one she took them out with the Shotgun and we are up in a treehouse and we shot the last one came to us with a flare gun and he fell down in entry and burned up and dancing around and serve raining and we were having fun and I went to kiss her and she told me to stop that she doesn’t do that (sex) but she would kiss me always if I wanted to.

The dream's narrative felt disjointed, jumping from a funeral to a chase without clear transitions.

A Chaotic Escape

The dream carried a mix of sadness from loss and exhilaration from the wild escape.

The intensity peaked during the chase and the confrontation, making it feel urgent and thrilling.

Although there were elements of surrealism, the emotional connection with the friend felt real.

The scenes were somewhat clear, especially the moments in the wilderness and the treehouse.

Nina, your dream intricately weaves together themes of loss, confusion, and the quest for identity, reflecting the emotional landscape of your current life. The profound sadness surrounding Diana’s death, especially as she informs you herself, suggests a complex relationship with grief. This duality of receiving the news directly from her may symbolize unresolved feelings or experiences from your past connection with her, highlighting how impactful she was in your life.

  As you navigate the mall in search of something appropriate to wear for her funeral, this represents your desire to find a way to honor her memory while grappling with your own sense of self amidst sorrow. The playground imagery evokes a sense of childhood innocence and the struggle to transition from that simplicity into the adult complexities of relationships and loss. Your concern about fitting down the slides may symbolize feelings of inadequacy or fear of being trapped in situations that no longer serve you.

  The presence of the loss prevention officers introduces a significant layer of external judgment and pressure. Their pursuit of you despite your innocence indicates feelings of being unfairly scrutinized in your waking life. This can reflect societal expectations or personal pressures that make you feel cornered. Your decision to escape into another store signifies a desire to find refuge and avoid conflict, but ultimately, their oppressive presence leads you to flee.

  The transition to the wilderness on horseback with a companion signifies a longing for freedom and adventure, contrasting sharply with the constraints you felt in the mall. Riding away together not only shows a search for liberation but also emphasizes the importance of companionship during difficult times. The shotgun symbolizes empowerment and protection, indicating your desire to take control of your circumstances and defend yourself against perceived threats.

  The playful yet violent imagery of the treehouse and the flare gun speaks to the duality of danger and joy in your life. It highlights how moments of fun can coexist with feelings of vulnerability and the necessity of confronting fears. The interaction with your companion, where you seek intimacy but encounter boundaries, underscores the complexities of desire, consent, and connection. Her willingness to kiss you within limits reflects the nuances of relationships and the importance of respecting personal boundaries. Overall, your dream is a rich exploration of your emotional struggles, desires for freedom, and the intricate layers of connections that shape your experiences.

Dream About Funeral Mall Wilderness

I was at work, and Sean was being how he normally is.  Not talking to me, glaring at me, talking behind my back, that kind of thing.  He got off work early, and he went to talk to Mike.  He wanted to know why, Mike stayed friends with me for so long.  And why Mike wouldn't take his side now that Sean and I were done.  Mike told him that, if he had to ask that, he never really knew me as a person.  That I was a great friend and a great friend, and the fact that Sean was so willing to throw that away by being a dick, showed he never really cared about our friendship in the first place.  Sean got mad, and said to Mike that, i must suck his dick really well, if he was willing to stick by me so easily.  Just then, Donny (a really good friend of mine of 20 years), walked into the staff room where they were, and Sean included him into the conversation.  Saying I sucked his dick too.  Mike lost his temper on Sean.  Saying that, it was disrespectful of him to call me a whore, when I was the only one who went to Sean's dad's funeral.  And when I was a good friend to him for 8 years.  And there were other reasons for them to be friends with me, but Sean would never know them because he proved he was unworthy of knowing them.  When I came into the staff room a few minutes later, Sean left in a huff, calling me a whore as he walked by me.  Mike told me everything that happened, then went to our manager and told her.  Sean, got fired for what he said.

The dream had a fairly coherent storyline, following a logical sequence of events related to the conflict.

Conflict at Work with Sean

The dream had a tense and confrontational emotional tone, especially with Sean's hostility.

The dream was intense due to the heated arguments and accusations between Sean, Mike, and Donny.

The scenario felt somewhat realistic, although the intense confrontation seemed exaggerated.

The dream was highly vivid, with clear details of the staff room and the conversations.

Priscilla, your dream is quite rich in symbolic content and seems to reflect some deep-seated emotions and conflicts you might be experiencing in your waking life. Starting with Sean's behavior and his refusal to communicate directly with you, it suggests feelings of isolation and perhaps unresolved conflicts from past relationships. Sean's actions of talking behind your back and attempting to turn Mike against you point to feelings of betrayal and mistrust that you might have faced. This could be indicative of real-life experiences where you've felt undermined or unsupported by those you once trusted.

  When Mike defends you and challenges Sean, it represents a critical moment of validation and support. This suggests that despite the negative experiences, there are people in your life who recognize your worth and stand by you. Mike's defense of you, especially pointing out Sean’s inability to appreciate your friendship, might be a reflection of your internal desire for acknowledgment and understanding from those around you.

  Sean's crude remarks about your relationships with Mike and Donny could symbolize the hurtful and degrading comments or actions you might have endured. This part of the dream seems to manifest your anxieties about being misunderstood or judged unfairly by others. Mike's defense, especially mentioning your support during Sean’s dad's funeral, underscores the depth of your loyalty and the sacrifices you've made in your relationships. This could be your subconscious mind reminding you of your intrinsic value and the meaningful connections you've cultivated over the years.

  The confrontation in the staff room, culminating in Sean being fired, could signify a resolution of sorts. It might represent your desire for justice, closure, or a clean break from toxic influences in your life.

I had a dream I was actually at a friends house 🏠 and I said something a joke a sex joke about a friend that rode my bus to highschool and this guy got really made and calmly threatened me as I would have my own funeral and he said are you family with this guy and I said yeah those are my close friends he said that’s lucky because you’re protected.

Dream About Friend Threatening Me

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.

The dream had a moderate level of coherence, flowing from family memories to a present situation, though some transitions felt abrupt.

Journey to the Forest Village

The dream carried a bittersweet feeling as I navigated the complexities of family bonds and loss.

The intensity was high, particularly during the emotional farewells and the anxiety about venturing into the wilderness alone.

The dream felt somewhat realistic, especially in the depiction of familiar family roles and the forest setting, though it had a surreal quality.

The dream was highly vivid, with clear images of the forest, the characters, and the emotional exchanges with my brothers.

Iggy, your dream unfolds as a rich tapestry of familial connections, nostalgia, and the tension between independence and protection. Starting with the imagery of you driving with your mother and brothers, we can interpret this as a reflection of your deep-seated desire for familial unity and shared experiences. The act of driving together symbolizes a journey through life, with your family as companions. The gate at which two girls stand signifies a threshold, an invitation to explore the wilderness of your past, perhaps representing the adventures and bonds formed during your upbringing. This setting hints at the innocence of childhood memories where you felt secure and supported by your family, navigating through the rivers and mountains together, embodying a sense of exploration and discovery. 

  As the dream progresses, the time skip and the absence of your mother introduce a profound sense of loss, suggesting that you may be grappling with changes in your family dynamic. The transition to just you and your brothers after what seems like a funeral service indicates a pivotal moment of reflection. This moment encapsulates the themes of grief and the inevitable passage of time, highlighting the fragility of relationships and the painful reality of moving forward in life without a key figure who once provided guidance and comfort. Your resolve to venture back to the forest village alone underscores the desire for self-discovery and independence, yet it simultaneously elicits anxiety from your brothers, who embody the protective instincts that often accompany familial love. 

  The imagery of your brothers warning you about 'beast eyes at night' speaks to the fears and apprehensions that arise when stepping into the unknown. This could relate to your own internal struggles or fears about venturing into uncharted territories in your life—be it personal growth, career changes, or emotional challenges.

Dream About Family Adventure And Goodbye

a funeral for my grandmother Mini. My cousin Molly tells me that I have another aunt. I’m really upset. Why did I not know this. My husband Keith goes to the funeral-standing in a park. so then I go over. But then I have to go to the dentist. I cross the road and there is joking about retirement. And then suddenly I am at the dentist all day. Sitting in one area talking to my colleague from the college in waking life Candace who is a physical therapist in the dream. And then I go in with the dentist, and I’m really shaky. And I asked someone what time is it and they say like 9 o’clock and I’m like that can’t be right. Then we ask someone else and it’s 10 to 6. No wonder I’m so hungry. I grab some gluten-free pizza no regular pizza. Doesn’t matter cause I’m too hungry. There’s something about Mar-and did Mar Go to Spain. Yes of course she went to Spain. Mar, my daughter Hannah’s beautiful Rottweiler, who lived with me for two years who I loved so much. Who died last year . I really like the dentist. His name is Rebekenezer. Quite the Jewish name.

The dream's narrative feels somewhat disjointed, with abrupt transitions between the funeral and the dental appointment, making it less coherent.

Funeral and Dentist

The dream evokes a profound sense of loss and confusion, particularly regarding the revelation of an unknown aunt.

The emotional intensity is heightened by the juxtaposition of grief and mundane dental concerns, creating a palpable tension.

The dream features realistic elements such as the funeral and interactions with familiar characters, yet it shifts to more surreal scenarios like the dentist visit.

Details such as the park setting, conversations about retirement, and the specific mention of gluten-free pizza contribute to a highly vivid experience.

Janine, your dream unfolds like a tapestry of emotions and unresolved feelings, intricately woven together through significant life events and relationships that seem to linger in your subconscious. The dream begins with a funeral for your grandmother, Mini, which suggests a deep connection to your past and perhaps an ongoing process of grief or reminiscence. Funerals often symbolize endings or transitions, and your feelings of upset upon discovering you have another aunt reveal a sense of surprise or confusion regarding family dynamics or hidden aspects of your heritage. This could point to a longing for deeper connections or understanding within your family structure, especially in the wake of loss.

  As you move through the dream, your husband, Keith, stands at the funeral in a park, which may represent a safe space for you amidst the emotional turmoil. Parks often symbolize tranquility and reflection, suggesting that even in times of sorrow, there is comfort to be found in familiar relationships. Your decision to approach him indicates your desire for support and connection during a time of distress. However, the sudden shift to having to go to the dentist introduces an element of anxiety or avoidance, hinting at underlying worries about health, self-care, or perhaps feelings of being overwhelmed by responsibilities.

  Crossing the road signifies transitions and the challenges you face as you navigate between different aspects of your life—the grief of losing your grandmother, the revelation about family, and the mundane yet pressing need to attend to your dental appointment.

Dream About Funeral And Dentist Experience

I don't remember the entire dream, but I remember it beginning with me sitting at a funeral for a casual aquaintance at a building. I don't remember much after, but I was later pulled away by someone, who gently pushed an arid desert plant that looked dead but I knew it wasn't into my hands while they held a vase. They held my hand and held it somewhat romantically. As we sat at another funeral in the same large wooden room covered in wood panels and a lit up platform with glass behind it where the casket was. Flowers were everywhere and the pews were filled for both people whose funerals i attended. 

there were two large tvs that played scenes from either their favourite movie or a movie they were in (the avengers) and the person I was with still held my hand, but then another girl sat next to them in the aisle seat and they held her hand and flirted with her even though i thought the person was with me. I got so jealous and confused I woke up

The dream had a disjointed coherence, as it shifted abruptly between funerals and personal emotions.

Funeral and Jealousy

The dream carried a bittersweet emotional tone, marked by feelings of jealousy and confusion during the funerals.

Intense emotions surged as jealousy took over, particularly when witnessing the flirting between the person I was with and another girl.

The setting felt somewhat realistic with familiar elements like funerals and emotional connections, though the intertwining events felt surreal.

The details were quite vivid, especially the flowers and the wooden room, though some scenes felt fragmented.

Vivienne, your dream begins in a setting that evokes a sense of loss and reflection, symbolized by the funeral for a casual acquaintance. Funerals often represent the end of something, perhaps an aspect of your life or a relationship that no longer serves you. This could relate to the various life-changing events you’ve experienced, such as financial stress or traumatic experiences, indicating that you are processing these feelings of grief and letting go in your subconscious mind.

  As the scene transitions to you being pulled away and handed an arid desert plant that appears dead, yet you know it isn't, this suggests a juxtaposition of hope and despair. The plant represents aspects of your life that may seem lifeless or stagnant, yet you possess an intrinsic knowledge that growth is still possible. This could reflect your struggle with mental health issues like PTSD and anxiety, where you may feel trapped in a cycle of negative emotions, yet there is a part of you that recognizes potential for renewal and healing.

  The romantic touch as someone holds your hand while presenting the plant signifies a longing for connection and support. Holding hands in dreams often symbolizes unity and emotional bonding. In your case, it may highlight a desire for intimacy and reassurance in your relationships, especially given your current single status. The fact that this moment takes place in the context of a funeral could indicate a yearning for deeper connections amidst feelings of isolation or sadness.

Dream About Funerals And Jealousy

In a funeral hall
Elegant and soft designs
Assisting my mom rehearse and prepare her mind for the eulogy speech 
Not sure who really died but someone close to her, older generation 
Maybe her father(my grandfather) or grandfather(great grandfather)
Being sabotaged, interrupted and disrupted repeatedly by grandmotherms(my mother’s mother) words and verbal jabs, she has a passive aggressive, cold and critical attitude when it comes to her own daughter
Assuring my mother through it; she has low self esteem
It’s kinda tiring tho
Seeing a blue, impressionistic painting that looks like blue and hold ocean with bits of something red in it
I find it beautiful
The heckling and the interferences continue into the actual performance on stage 
People ‘ahem’ing at the situation, likely to the nagging grandmother
Mother losing confidence every second
Me helping and doing whatever I can to shut the granny down politely and such
Once we’re done we’re out of the building
It looked so magnificent from the inside but it just looks like any other building in a countryside, the whitewash sort of chipped, parts rusted, engulfed in vines and the flora from the surrounding forest
We turn out backs on it(now there’s a man I don’t really know, a voice of my dad(just the voice, no real presence), and my younger brother)
And get on bicycles that’d been left alone nearby and speed down the rocky slopes, dense woods around us, tree canopy like tunnel roof
The whole area looks so much like the manor house square(there’s only the stone foundation of it left) of the castle ruins in the mountain we lived at the edge of(forests)
Once I’ve come down the perspective switch
Now it’s like I’m flying on the bicycle across a map
I can see a moat; looks a bit like another Japanese castle I went to
Car roads surrounding it so it looks like the Imperial Palace too
The ebbing and flowing of tides, in timelapse
The moat, the big pond and the waters are affected by it
Once it turns to night(on the map) the park area shows itself 
Near the edge of dawn I go cycle into it, landing from the sky
Playing around, lotus pink and white, beautiful dawn, purple atmosphere and sky
Coming back to the house(the building I currently live in; owned by my other(paternal) grandma)
Now the scenery is downtown
Family reunion going on with all the relatives from my mother’s side taking place
Icky vibes, mom’s mom(the bully from earlier is here too, being all obnoxious, fake-merry, faking demureness and being braggadocious)
My bestfriend Maka from middle school is here too, so I take her and go up the indoor stairs to lose the crowd
Mom too, she joins to supervise but not really; she just wants space from her bully mom
Playing around, going up and down as parts of the stairsteps disintegrate and reveal a glimmering white offgrid, unrendered area under the map(like in games)
There’s breeze despite it being inside(not really anymore, there’s infestations of plants and weeds, pretty tho) and itms really fun, relaxing in a way, the progressively ‘ruinous’ state of the building being swallowed into nature and the sparkling otherworld
Mom seems greatly unsettled(like a normal person would be), Maka is having fun, playfully poking fun at my nonchalance and giving commentaries on both of us and the situation
Climbing up high enough that we noclip into the outside staircase
This one’s rusted but still safe
Breeze blowing, it’s sunset
Mild, warm and chill
Sitting on the steps, talking about what happened back at the funeral venue
Commenting to each other frankly, joking around about it being a hex or an evil eye(not really joking)
As the time passes we come down from the bubble of the fun and comfort, hear the relatives laughing and still having the party and such
Deciding to go back
Noclipping into the inside staircase, pausing after descending about a third of the steps to the room where the party is, calling out to Maka and mom that I don’t want to
They smile, look relieved and agree, we nod to each other
We climb back up the grassy staircase and float into the map-like perspective of the sky around the town and the white overworld

The narrative flows through various family interactions and dreamlike sequences, maintaining a sense of connection despite the surreal shifts.

Navigating a Funeral and Familial Tensions

The dream evokes a mix of anxiety and beauty as the narrator supports their mother amid family tensions during a funeral.

The intensity peaks as the narrator tries to manage the disruptive presence of the grandmother while supporting their mother.

The dream features realistic settings like a funeral hall and family dynamics, interspersed with surreal elements like flying on a bicycle across a map.

Vivid details include impressionistic paintings and the colorful atmosphere of dawn, enhancing the dream's visual richness.

Hope, your dream is a rich tapestry of emotions, family dynamics, and personal growth, woven together in a narrative that reflects both your inner world and your experiences. Starting from the funeral hall, the setting is significant; it represents a place of transition and reflection. The elegant and soft designs juxtapose the somber nature of a funeral, perhaps mirroring your feelings towards the weight of family expectations or the burden of unresolved issues with your family's past. Assisting your mother with her eulogy suggests a nurturing side of you, indicating your desire to support her while also reflecting your own anxieties about loss and familial connections. The uncertainty about who has passed away—whether it's your grandfather or great-grandfather—highlights a sense of confusion or perhaps unresolved grief within your family lineage, which may be amplified by your relationship with your grandmother, who embodies critical and passive-aggressive traits.

  As your dream unfolds, the interruptions from your grandmother during the eulogy rehearsal symbolize the ongoing struggles you may face within family dynamics. Her cold and critical nature towards your mother may represent a fear of inadequacy or a reminder of your mother's low self-esteem, which you seem to bear witness to and want to alleviate. Your efforts to assure and support your mother throughout this taxing experience show a deep sense of empathy and a desire to mend the emotional wounds inflicted by your grandmother. This part of the dream captures the exhausting nature of familial responsibilities, especially when it comes to defending those you love against negativity.

  The striking image of a blue impressionistic painting evokes a sense of beauty amidst chaos, perhaps representing your ability to find solace in artistic expressions or moments of tranquility amidst the turmoil. The continued heckling during the performance can be seen as a metaphor for external pressures that threaten to derail personal expression and confidence, particularly your mother's. Your role as a mediator in this scenario reflects your desire to create harmony, showcasing your protective instincts and the emotional toll it takes on you.

  Transitioning out of the funeral hall, the contrast between the magnificent interior and the dilapidated exterior of the building speaks to the dissonance between how things may appear on the surface versus the underlying issues that lie beneath. The chipped whitewash and rusted areas symbolize the decay of familial ties or the passage of time, as well as the natural encroachment of life reclaiming what once was—a powerful metaphor for letting go of the past and moving forward. Cycling down the rocky slopes with your family members evokes a sense of freedom and adventure, yet also hints at the fragility of these relationships, as you navigate the complexities of your family's history.

  The moment where you find yourself flying across a map signifies a shift in perspective, suggesting a desire for transcendence from your current struggles. It illustrates a longing for exploration and a break from the confines of your familial obligations. The imagery of the moat and the ebbing tides connects to the themes of change and the cyclical nature of life, while the transition to night and the beautiful dawn signify hope and renewal. As you return to your current living environment, the family reunion brings about mixed feelings, particularly with the presence of your grandmother, who continues to reflect negativity.

  In the playful escape with your friend Maka, you seek refuge from the overwhelming dynamics of your family. The disintegration of the stairs represents the fragility of your current situation, yet there is a comforting sense of freedom as you explore the otherworldly area beneath. This blend of playfulness and discomfort captures the essence of navigating through familial expectations while seeking personal joy. Ultimately, the decision to retreat from the party reflects an important realization—an understanding of your own boundaries and the need to prioritize your well-being. The collective nod of agreement with your mother and Maka emphasizes the strength of your connection and your shared experiences, which serve as a buffer against the chaos of family gatherings. This dream serves as a profound exploration of your resilience, hopes, and the journey toward self-acceptance amidst familial complexities.

Dream About Funeral Speech And Family Dynamics

I was on the street and I remember seeing my brother and a lady next to a car and feeling very uncomfortable and scared. I looked towards my brother and I remember seeing the lady and a man dressed in all dark clothing to conceal his identity shoot a gun and the bullet went through her head leaving her body limp and sliding down the front of her car. I was filled with extreme fear. 
Then I was oddly in my grandma’s white Lincoln and she was driving wearing some black outfit. She parked and took me with her to a front door of brown brick building with a black door and knocked. It was a funeral parlor and though she didn’t tell me I knew she was trying to schedule her death. No one answered. I could feel my heart beating through my chest and tears filling my eyes as I heard her continue to knock no one answered. I knew I didn’t want her to go in there and I didn’t want anything to do with all this loss. Everything went dark and I don’t know if my grandma ever walked into that building.

The dream had a disjointed structure, shifting abruptly from the violent scene to my grandma's actions at the funeral parlor.

Unsettling Encounters

The dream was filled with extreme fear and discomfort as I witnessed a violent act involving my brother.

The intensity was overwhelming, particularly when the gunshot occurred and I felt my heart racing.

The dream felt somewhat realistic, especially the emotions tied to seeing my brother and the lady.

The details were clear, especially the image of the limp body sliding down the car, which haunted me.

Brittney, your dream presents a vivid tapestry woven with threads of fear, loss, and unresolved emotions, all of which resonate deeply with your current life circumstances. Initially, the scene on the street with your brother and the lady evokes a sense of vulnerability. The discomfort and fear you felt in that moment highlights a struggle within yourself, perhaps reflecting your broader anxieties related to safety and connection. The presence of the man in dark clothing symbolizes a looming threat or anxiety that you may perceive in your waking life, possibly linked to your history of trauma. The sudden act of violence, with the bullet striking the lady, serves as a potent metaphor for the chaos that can infiltrate our lives when we least expect it, mirroring feelings of helplessness or loss that you might be grappling with currently.

  Transitioning to the moment in your grandmother's white Lincoln, the shift from fear to a more intimate setting speaks volumes about your layered emotions. Your grandmother, clothed in black, foreshadows themes of mourning and mortality. The car, often a symbol of your journey through life, now becomes a vehicle of confronting difficult truths about death and loss. This part of the dream suggests a confrontation with your own feelings towards loss, particularly the possibility of losing loved ones, which can be particularly poignant given your mentioned experiences of loss.

Darkness

Heart

Dream About Violence And Loss

I was back in my childhood home in Kansas. I was as old as I am now and my mom and stepdad were there. I was in my room and I felt a dark presence behind the door. The room was super dark and I tried to turn on the lights but I couldn’t. I desperately tried going back and forth flipping the switch and pulling the chains on the fan. I even made sure the light bulbs were screwed in. The presence was angry that I was trying to turn on the lights and I saw a shadow move from behind the door towards me and I screamed for it to stop and started praying every prayer that I have. I told it to go away in the name of Jesus. It didn’t go away but it loomed over me. Then my mom came in and flipped the switch on the wall and the lights came on. The thing looming over me disappeared and she asked what I was doing and asked if I wanted to go to the store. I said sure whatever. So we went to the store and it was the one here where I live now in Missouri. (I guess my mind is combining places that make up “home”) so we’re at the store and we get bombarded with people trying to sell us flowers. One told my mom she would need them when she buried me. My mom and I both screamed “WHAT THE HELL! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU” but the guy shugs and reiterates that she will need them soon for my funeral as if it was a fact.  We push past them and go to the store. My mom has me look at cheese and I stay there for a couple of seconds before she tells me she’s done shopping. I look in the cart and it’s full of bottles of alcohol. We head out of the store and go home parking the car on the edge of the patio back in Kansas. We started drinking and then apparently it was the next day at high noon. My mom and my stepdad were like “oh there you are” and my mom was like “you had fun last night”. I couldn’t remember any of it but she said it was cool and I was funny. I shrugged and was looking at the edge of the patio where the cars were parked while my parents were around the corner drinking and looking at the side garden. I was trying to see if you could fit a third car, my car, on the edge of the patio. I had gotten on my hands and knees when a diamond back rattle snake wraps itself around my arms and around my back. I try to stay still and I try to call for my parents who were just around the corner. They didn’t seem to hear me. I kept trying to get their attention and even screamed for them a couple of times. I tried to grab the snakes head and pull it off myself but it bit my finger and slid to the middle of my back where I couldn’t reach it. I tried grabbing its tail to pull it off but it bit me in the back twice. Only then when my parents were done looking at the side garden and discussing what they wanted to do with it did they notice the snake around me. My step dad tried to take it off me once and it ended up biting me again before he was finally able to get it off of me. My hand and back stated to throb and my finger was swelling. My parents were doddling around as if nothing happened and I urged them to take me to the hospital and only after me begging them to take me did my mom say “ok let’s go”. She didn’t take me very seriously. We get in the car and she takes me back to the Walmart. I try insisting more that she should take me to the hospital and she waves me off and tells me I’ll be fine. Meanwhile I start to feel sweaty and shaky and I follow her into the store. She was trying to find the guy who tried to sell us flowers for my funeral. I kept urging her to take me to the hospital when we find the guy and she stays disgusting prices with him. My vision is going in and out as I plead for her to take me to the hospital and then I wake up.

The dream had a somewhat disjointed sequence, moving from the childhood home to the store and back, but it maintained an underlying theme of fear and helplessness.

The Dark Presence and the Snake

The dream had a strong feeling of fear and anxiety, especially when dealing with the dark presence and the snake bites.

The intensity was high, with moments of terror and desperation, such as trying to turn on the lights and dealing with the snake.

The settings were a mix of real places from the dreamer's past and present, creating a somewhat realistic but surreal experience.

The dream was quite vivid, with clear details about the dark room, the store, and the snake wrapping around the dreamer.

Christina, your dream is rich with symbols and emotions, indicating a complex interplay of your subconscious thoughts and feelings. Returning to your childhood home in Kansas while being your current age suggests a desire to reconcile past experiences with your present self. The presence of your mom and stepdad highlights family dynamics that may still influence you today. The dark presence in your room, and your inability to turn on the lights, represents feelings of being trapped or overwhelmed by unresolved issues or fears from your past. The act of desperately trying to turn on the lights but failing could symbolize your struggle to find clarity or control in certain aspects of your life.

  The shadow moving towards you and your subsequent prayers indicate a confrontation with something deeply unsettling, possibly repressed emotions or traumas. Your mom's ability to easily turn on the light and her casual offer to go to the store suggests that she may possess a sense of control or understanding that you feel you lack. Her role in dispelling the darkness might also reflect a desire for her support in dealing with your inner turmoil.

  The transition to the store, now located in Missouri, blends your past and present, creating a metaphorical space where unresolved issues from your childhood still affect your current life. The aggressive flower sellers, particularly the one predicting your funeral, could symbolize intrusive thoughts or external pressures that threaten your sense of security. Your and your mom's strong reaction to the flower seller indicates a shared shock or denial of these negative predictions.

  When your mom focuses on buying alcohol, it may suggest a coping mechanism for dealing with emotional stress or conflict. The return to the Kansas home and the disjointed memory of drinking imply a disconnection or avoidance of confronting deeper issues. The diamondback rattlesnake wrapping around you while you are on the patio is a powerful symbol of latent danger and anxiety. Your parents' initial unawareness and delayed response to your plight might reflect feelings of neglect or frustration with their perceived lack of support.

  Your struggle with the snake and the subsequent bites symbolize a confrontation with harmful or toxic elements in your life that you feel unequipped to handle alone. Your parents' casual attitude towards your injuries and your mom's reluctance to take you to the hospital underscores a feeling of not being taken seriously or a lack of urgency in addressing your needs. The return to Walmart and your mom's preoccupation with the flower seller, even as your condition worsens, reinforces a sense of neglect and frustration. Your fading vision and pleas for help signify a deep-seated need for recognition and assistance that you feel is being ignored.

  This dream suggests that you are grappling with significant unresolved issues from your past that continue to impact your present life. The recurring themes of neglect, lack of control, and unacknowledged distress point to a need for addressing these underlying emotions and seeking clarity and support in your waking life.
