Ghost
Roller coaster
Stuck

Dream

I was on a roller coaster. As I got seated I realized there was no safety harness. Panicked I got up to leave. Then I realized that no matter what I did I couldn't get up. I was stuck sitting down. I then look up at see that there is no operator running this ride. A sign above says "ghost train". Then I realize the ride is operating itself. The ride leaves the station. I start to panic. As we get to the top of the lift hill a voice behind me says. "The ride will hold you in". As we go down the first hill I remain completely stationary in my seat. We go through loops, corkscrews, and cobra rolls. The ride holds me in the entire time. As we get to the station again I am laughing with enjoyment. I then jump out of the ride and get back in line.

Sister
Apartment
Traveling
Clothes
Food

Dream

I was living in an urban environment and my sister was around. We weren't getting along, as usual. Light and glass. Something about ghosts and haunting. Then I was moving to Oakland. I was Facetiming a younger acquaintance to talk about college - I wanted to send her a video that came across my feed on local institutions & their easy apply setup, but I was afraid to be overbearing. Then I was wandering in an apartment building I lived in. I was pretending to be possessed/acting like a crazy person. I noticed some people in the hall, and got excited about scaring them till I saw they had a double seated stroller - this meant I could be scaring kids, which was not ideal. I tried to make my way back into my unit without being seen. I was unsuccessful and felt so embarrassed. Then I was traveling through what felt like Alaska. I was with a group. The men present I didn't care for -they were macho jock types. We had a guide present to explain how theses landscapes had formed. I started wondering about conspiracies related to cataclysmic pole shift. A woman I considered my sister was present on this trip. We were walking by an abandoned railway. I decided to take her picture. She leapt into the air, her left breast accidentally flashing me in the process. Now I'm in San Francisco, grabbing some Chinese food with friends. It's crazy good, I feel like a little pig binging. We walk to a clothing store after the meal. One of the girls in our group is visiting from the Philippines. She tries on a dress - I tell her she has to get it, it's so pretty on her. It is - her waist is tiny. I'm her height but I feel massive in comparison since my waistline is nonexistent.

Abandoned home
Ghost
Apartment
Laundry
Video Game
Dinner

Dream

My first dream was Kayla and I doing work around her ex boyfriend’s house. She had a joy pond built and it had some cool fish. My first thought is to go somewhere in the house that I assume was there because of another dream I’ve had in the past. I want to get into a secret room. It’s located in a mansion and I snuck into it one and it was smaller than a bunker. It was the same size of a Japanese chamber or first class at Arab Emirates airlines where you have unlimited food. But I’m always looking to go back there in other dreams and I definitely wish I was in firstclass with a bed. Her house looked too abandoned to have one but we did lots of things over the house we even played video games and got to play as characters in a game. My mom walked around throughout my dream acting like she was always doing laundry in the apartment and outside. She gives this disapproving look and it makes me feel bad when I pay attention to her then she goes away. I had a dream I was staying over at my sister Dericka’s house the way to get into the house we had to run under these tarps and a low baring half of a wire fence and it lead to the beginning of the house and it doesn’t have a door we just walk in and it’s as if we have a door. Dericka and I race was higher and while running down the hall I can see the other hallway leading to a door and there was nothing there but I was afraid that if I looked at it there would be a ghost. I told Dericka and she said I’d be fine and I believed her. Then she was on a date with Jeremy Allen white from the bear and it was his birthday and her birthday was coming up so they decided to have dinner together. I'm freaking out because he’s one of my favorite actors and the bear is definitely my favorite show. I’m watching them closely while they eat and they keep moving around to eat at one point but I don’t know why in the dream. Dericka drops her plate of chicken and rice that my aunt made and has to clean it up while she’s doing that me and Jeremy start talking. I told him how much I love the show and how it inspired me to be a cook just like him and it’s motivating me to launch my career as a cook in a kitchen and we didn’t get far into the convo but I wanted to say that I want to be a pastry chef. But then I notice my sister, she starts doing laundry and when I look at her she’s struggling and looks as if she both my mom and my sister.

dream-about-stalking-and-fire
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.

Car accident
Friend
Ghost
Car
Darkness
Dog

Dream

A lot happened in this dream. It starts off with me and my little sister at the gym working out. I tell her that I need to go but I can’t find my car in the parking lot. I think it’s been stolen and I find it a couple stores over, nothing has been touched. Then the dream shifts into me taking a little baby from one of my high school friends mother. She is kind of frantic and I remember a intense feeling of needing to get the baby into one of the car seats in my car and leave the place I was at. I needed to get the baby away. Then the dream shifts again and I’m seeing my best friend who currently doesn’t live around me She is showing me her positive pregnancy test and she is in shock. I am so happy for her because she has her tubes tied and while it is not impossible for her to get pregnant it’s a little more rare for it to happen. We are both happy for her and hugging her and her two sons she already has. Then the dream changes again. I’m lm back in the car with the little baby and I’m getting to the current house I live in. It’s dark outside but I’m looking around before I hurriedly get the baby out of the car. I rush inside with it and I lock the dirt and go take care of the baby and put it in a crib. I then look outside waiting for my older sister. She is across the street walking her dog, but this dog I’ve never seen before, in walking life she doesn’t have this dog. She is also walking one of my dogs. I see my dog run up to the back door and I let him in and I waiting for my sister. I hear her calling a name, I assume the dogs name, and then she runs to my front porch and then I go still as I see this colored fog. I know it’s what we are nervous and scared of. The blueish green fog creeps along the outside of the houses, looking for someone or something to look at it. My sister stares straight ahead through the window at me and doesn’t move. I stare right back at her. Not leaving her. This fog starts circling her slowly and I can see my sister flinch but she doesn’t say anything and she doesn’t move. Then this fog slithers off after a minute but I goes up towards the street, I shake my head slightly to let my sister know that the fog hasn’t completely left yet. In the distance there is a dog barking. The dog my sister was walking. Out of my peripheral vision I see the fog moving on the street and then another light comes on the street. I hear screeching tires and car horn and a yelling. My sister and I don’t move yet. It gets quiet and I see tears running down my sisters cheeks. The fog leaves I step outside to whisper to my sister but something catches my attention on the street. It’s the dog she was walking but it was now a whiteish grey ghost, running up and down the street wagging its tail looking for something. I turned towards my sister with tears in my eyes. Then I wake up. Now this was not said in the dream but in my mind and hear I knew that in the dream we called the fog the bogge and what it does is try to get you to aknowledge its presence and talk to it or make eye contact with it so that it can get you to do things and see things that it wants. Sometimes it will kill you by making you do stuff and other times it doesn’t. I think what happened on the street in my dream was the dog was chasing the bogge and the bogge let it into the street where it got hit by a car and died.

Stabbed
Fear
Mother
Police
Ghost
Needle

Dream

I was walking then i got scared because i saw a white van without a car plate. i met a strange furry girl and she got in the front of the van with her bald dad. i tried to stay away from the van, paranoid, walking the other direction, not knowing where to go when i saw a police car. in the front of the car there were two cops, one man and one woman. they said 5 people have been stabbed, 36 were witnesses and 25 were suspects. we went through highways and traffic as my mum got in the car somehow. after a while, i got scared as the bald man got in the car as well. i thought i was going to get killed, at some point i left the car, and at some point i came back. i remember being so scared i got a needle into one of the police. they died. then i got out the car, and i killed the bald man by putting the needle into his legs, it didn’t work and i was so scared of what he would do after, so i put it again in his arm, and then finally into his neck so that i would be sure that he was dead. i ran away, out the car into the countryside (which reminded my of my dofe campsite) and dove into one of the bushes with white flowers and into a plain field on the other side to hide. then i saw my mum escape into a muddy patch with a horse, i joined her and we both were hiding together. even though i was on the ground, i felt weightless. i thought it wasn’t that good of a place to hide since the bushes were see through. then after a while i asked maman if i was dead and a ghost. my mum said yes we are all dead and now ghosts. we walked into a green grassy area and sat down. i asked if the two people i stabbed with the needle knew i killed them. then, all the other people in the car joined us. i was terrified that they would see me and get so angry at me for killing them, but they didn’t say anything to me or even look in my direction. i really wanted them to look at me so that i could explain why i killed them, but they just were talking to maman and smiling. i asked, is this the stabbing of 5 people? because that’s how all five of us died. a policeman answered maybe, but then who are the 36 witnesses and 25 suspects? also at the end, mike from stranger things asked in the wattp comment section, wait, how did i die? and someone responded with, a letter, and he responded again with, WHAT?! a letter?

Ghost
Car
Hospital

Dream

I work at a hospital, however I was in a completely different one. I had my PPE on, which is just protective wear and I was in a basement in a morgue, the hallways were empty and so was the morgue. I open up a small body bag to see a small two year old that has passed away inside. It made my heart sad to see this toddler that’s a girl dead. I place her gently on the autopsy table and I get a weird feeling that she’s still alive. Her eyes are closed but I can see faint breathing. I start questioning why they would bring an alive child down to the morgue. The girls body starts moving like either my mind is playing tricks on me, or her… she opens her eyes and smiles at me. As I debate my next move as to whether I should call a nurse, I think to myself “well no one is here at this hospital…” as I’m thinking that suddenly the girl turns pale. Her eyes close and become extremely bruised and purple and pink it looks like there was a lot of damage done to her eyes. I go to close them because I can’t stand looking at them, but they keep opening back up. At this point I’m feeling very anxious, mortified, and confused as to what to do… I’m used to seeing dead babies at my job but this was the first time they’ve been this much older. I wake up, and I’m freaking out - I’m very anxious and don’t want to return to this dream. I eventually go back to bed. I’m driving in my car, my old fiat and it seems like a ghost town. I start driving towards this unknown hospital again and when I get there I have this dread inside of me like I don’t want to go in and experience the haunted morgue and this two year old that keeps frightening me. I’m sitting in this empty parking lot when I have the realization that I don’t have to go in there… I immediately leave and don’t look back.

Ghost
Piano
School

Dream

I had a nightmare my best friend (we’re in high school) killed someone and so I had to go through this long process of killing her for it as revenge because I was forced to even though I didn’t know who it was. And we killed her by a piano falling on her. For some reason I didn’t cry, but my great grandma and my dog somehow also ended up being dead. And I went home, my dad and I talked for a bit and my friend made a group chat. I missed Merideth (the friend I had) and for some reason I could see the ghost of my dog and not her or my grandma, who gave me clothes for high school before she died. (I also remember at the very beginning something about high school being a 2 hours and 44 minute bus ride for me, which I wasn’t complaining about. So eventually I ended up asking my dad why I could see Libby (my dog) and not Merideth (my best friend) ‘s ghost, and he said he didn’t know so I messaged her old account thinking maybe I could get an answer despite her being dead. And she messaged back, “don’t you know, I’m not her….” And I woke up.

Falling
Ghost
Kitchen

Dream

I was working with Sam & Dean Winchester. We were investigating a handful of deaths surrounding an alleyway. Instead of it being a ghost, we followed leads to a psychic man who was already locked away. He was killing people and seeing them die from his locked up asylum room. We took him to another place that was haunted by a ghost that butchered anyone who walked inside. We had the psychic man strapped to a gurney and rolled him inside, slamming the giant iron doors behind him. We knew that he wouldn’t last long in that room, and that his powers wouldn’t be able to escape that room since it was lined with 12 inches of iron outside and buried far underground. Then, I was in a kitchen. I was cleaning it and planning on renovating it. I remember falling down a platform in the kitchen that was part of the floor. After I got up, I was talking to someone about my renovation plans for it. I was thinking of fixing the flooring, adding a rail to the platform that I fell from, and putting in some window walls with patio style sliding doors. It was the first time I’ve felt physically happy outside of my dreams.

Island

Dream

I had a nightmare that I was being haunted by an evil presence. In some of the dream I was in my childhood home and I was trying to rest so that I could go to work and live my life but the ghost wouldn't stop scaring me and I was at breaking point because I didn't know what to do about it. In another part of the dream I was in a huge abandoned structure that was on an island that was extremely beautiful and there was even a swimming pool there that people were swimming in even though the structure didn't have a roof and was open. The ghost was also in the abandoned structure and was being even more sinister and scary. It would take other people's form and pretend to be them. There was one part where there was someone who I knew and they had a baby and the ghost took their baby and dismantled the baby like in a horror movie. There was another part of the dream where I was trying to ride a motorcycle through fields and hiking trails to get away from a group of people that were chasing me but I kept falling off. I was then at a petrol station trying to fill the motorcycle tank up with petrol and it kept leaking out and then somehow my biological father was there at the petrol station even though I haven't spoken to him in years in real life. In the last part of the dream I was back in my childhood home with my mum and we were trying to figure out how to get rid of the ghost but we never did because I woke up.
