In my dream, I was in a classroom setting. My husband and daughter with a few other people were there. I was very unwell and my daughter was in a rebellious energy.

Dream About Classroom Yoga Rebellion

I was at my grandmas house in Nova Scotia, where I was hiding from cars driving by late at night. Then I snuck inside her house to sleep, but kept tripping over things in the dark and making noise. My disturbance woke my father and uncle up who were sleeping downstairs. Then I got letters in the mail, one of them which was from the vet and told me my cat was very sick with pancreatitis.

The dream had a moderate level of coherence, with a logical sequence of events despite some fragmented elements.

Hiding and Disturbance at Grandma's House

The dream had a tense and anxious feel, especially when receiving the letter about the sick cat.

The intensity was high, especially during the moments of hiding and making noise in the dark.

The dream felt somewhat realistic, particularly the setting of grandma's house and the situation with the cat.

The dream was fairly vivid, with clear memories of tripping over things and receiving the letter.

Jordan, your dream is rich with symbolism and underlying emotions that resonate with your current life experiences. Starting with your presence at your grandma's house in Nova Scotia, this setting likely represents a place of safety and nostalgia for you. However, the act of hiding from cars driving by late at night suggests a feeling of vulnerability or a need to protect yourself from external pressures or threats, which might be linked to your current stress and anxiety levels.

  Sneaking into the house and tripping over things in the dark could symbolize the obstacles and uncertainties you are facing in your waking life. The darkness represents the unknown, and your struggle to move quietly indicates the difficulty you have in navigating these challenges without causing further disruption or drawing attention to yourself. This could be reflective of your financial stress, traumatic experiences, or relationship difficulties that weigh heavily on your mind.

  The presence of your father and uncle, who are awakened by your noise, might suggest that you are concerned about how your actions or the chaos in your life are affecting your loved ones. It could also indicate a desire for their protection or guidance during this tumultuous period. The fact that they are sleeping downstairs might imply that you feel a level of separation or a barrier when seeking their support.

  Receiving letters in the mail, particularly the one from the vet about your cat's illness, introduces a direct element of worry and sadness.

Dream About Hiding At Grandmas House

I keep having a dream that is like a continuation dream like I keep finding myself in a old home and looking for my car to leave, but a couple dreams back I let my little sister who is on drugs and leaving on the street despite her being very ill and me being the big sister almost like a mom to her she always takes advantage of me and my forgiveness

The coherence is moderate as the dream is a continuation but contains fragmented elements.

Searching for Car in Old Home

The dream carries a strong emotional tone of anxiety and frustration, especially due to the involvement of the sister on drugs.

The intensity is high, particularly due to the emotional stress related to the sister's situation.

The dream feels moderately realistic with real-life elements such as the old home and the car search.

The dream is quite vivid, with clear details about the old home and the search for the car.

Gracie, your dream of being in an old home and persistently searching for your car to leave is quite telling. This setting of an 'old home' might symbolize a part of your past or your inner self that feels outdated or neglected. The car you are searching for could represent your desire for freedom, control, or an escape route from current circumstances that may feel confining or overwhelming.

  In a previous segment of this dream, you mentioned your little sister who is on drugs and living on the street despite being very ill. This inclusion of your sister, who you almost mother, taps into your role as a caretaker and protector. The fact that she takes advantage of your forgiveness indicates an ongoing struggle between your sense of responsibility and the boundaries you wish to establish. This mirrors a potential internal conflict where your empathy and sense of duty are at odds with your need for self-preservation and assertiveness.

  The continuation nature of your dream suggests unresolved issues that keep resurfacing, urging you to address them. The old home may represent lingering memories or traumas that you haven’t fully processed, and your car, your means of moving forward in life, seems elusive. This indicates that your path to healing and progress is currently blocked or difficult to navigate, potentially due to the emotional weight you carry regarding your sister's situation and your own past experiences.

Dream About Old Home And Struggling Sister

I had a dream that I was home and these two men walked right into my apartment. I was so scared and thought I was getting robbed, but after slamming the door in their face, they reopen it giving me a look of confusion. Upon seeing their faces, a familiarity washes over me, and these two are now familiar friends. They came over because I wasn’t feeling good. Not sure if I was sick like I am in real life right now, or if it was just bad mental health. But either way, they came in and were caring for me, hugging me and making me food.

The dream was fairly coherent, transitioning logically from fear to comfort despite the initial confusion.

Unexpected Visitors

The dream started with fear and confusion but turned into warmth and care as the men became familiar friends.

The dream had high intensity, starting with a scare and ending with strong emotional support.

The dream felt somewhat realistic as it involved familiar settings and people but with a surreal twist.

The details were quite vivid, especially the expressions and actions of the two men.

Miranda, your dream begins with a strong sense of vulnerability and fear as two men walk into your apartment uninvited. This initial reaction of terror, thinking you are being robbed, suggests that there may be underlying anxieties or feelings of intrusion in your waking life. The home is often a symbol of your inner self and personal space, and the fact that these men enter without permission might indicate that you feel your boundaries are being crossed or that there are external pressures invading your sense of security.

  However, the dream takes an interesting turn when you slam the door in their faces, only for them to reopen it with a look of confusion. This act of closing the door could represent your attempt to defend yourself and maintain control, but their confused reaction and the subsequent realization that they are familiar friends suggests that what you perceive as threats may actually be parts of your life or aspects of yourself that you haven't fully acknowledged or integrated.

  The transformation of these men from perceived intruders to comforting friends who came to care for you is quite significant. It reflects a shift from fear to acceptance, indicating that you may be wrestling with trust issues or the need for support. The fact that they are there to care for you, hugging you and making you food, speaks to a deep desire for nurturing and emotional support, especially if you are currently feeling unwell physically or mentally.

Dream About Unexpected Friends Caretaking

Last night I dreamt my dad was in hospital, before we got his terminal diagnosis. And lots of friends came to visit him.

The dream was somewhat coherent, with a clear setting but some fragmented events.

Dad in Hospital

The dream had a somber and emotional tone, as it involved a terminal diagnosis and many friends visiting.

The intensity was moderate, with emotional moments but not overwhelming.

The dream felt quite realistic, especially with the hospital setting and interactions with friends.

The dream was fairly vivid, with clear images of the hospital and the people visiting.

Candy, your dream about your dad being in the hospital before his terminal diagnosis is deeply evocative. This dream seems to reflect a time in your life filled with significant emotional weight and unresolved feelings. The hospital setting often symbolizes a place of healing but also a place of vulnerability and helplessness. Given your widowed status, this could also symbolize the lingering pain and the ongoing process of healing from your loss. 

  Seeing your dad in the hospital before the terminal diagnosis suggests that you might still be grappling with the initial shock and grief of his illness. This part of the dream can be understood as a manifestation of your subconscious trying to process and make sense of past traumas. It's not uncommon for our minds to revisit such pivotal moments, especially when they are tied to deep emotional bonds and significant life changes.

  The presence of many friends coming to visit him in the dream is quite telling. Friends in dreams often represent support systems and the various aspects of ourselves that offer comfort and understanding. This could be your mind's way of reminding you that you are not alone in your grief and that you have a network of support around you, even if it doesn’t always feel that way in your waking life. It might also be a reflection of the communal nature of grief and the importance of sharing our burdens with those who care about us.

Dream About Father Hospital Diagnosis Visits

My best friend and I were suffering from retinal illness, probably cancer. We both were scheduled for surgeries with little chance of survival. I found out I had a slightly more chance of survival than her. I didn’t want to survive because everyone was expecting me to die and I wouldn’t be with my best friend. Then I didn’t know my friend was going in first and I didn’t get to say goodbye so I was very upset.

The dream had a fairly logical flow, following a narrative from diagnosis to surgery, despite the emotional turmoil.

Retinal Illness and Surgery with Best Friend

The dream was extremely emotional, filled with fear, sadness, and a sense of impending doom due to the serious illness and surgeries.

The intensity was high as it involved life-threatening situations and the strong bond with the best friend.

The dream felt quite realistic, particularly the medical scenarios and the emotional responses to the illness and surgeries.

The dream details were moderately clear, though some parts were less distinct.

Antònina, your dream is rich with emotions and deep subconscious messaging. The fact that both you and your best friend are suffering from a retinal illness, possibly cancer, symbolizes a shared struggle or fear of losing sight, not just physically but metaphorically. This could indicate that you both are facing a situation that threatens your clarity or perspective on something very important in your lives. The theme of surgery with minimal chances of survival underscores a feeling of helplessness and the severity of the situation you perceive.

  Learning that you have a slightly higher chance of survival than your friend introduces a complex mix of survivor's guilt and fear of abandonment. It signifies an internal conflict where you grapple with the dread of outliving someone you deeply care about. This aspect of the dream reflects your strong bond and the fear of facing life without your closest companion. Your reluctance to survive because everyone expects you to die further emphasizes the pressure and expectations you feel from those around you. It hints at a possible struggle with self-worth and the overwhelming nature of external expectations.

  The moment of not being able to say goodbye to your friend before she goes in for surgery is particularly poignant. This detail speaks volumes about your fear of unresolved issues and the pain of parting without closure. It highlights your need for connection and the deep emotional ties you have with your friend. The upset you feel in the dream mirrors a real-life fear of sudden loss and the distress of not having control over the situation.

Dream Of Extreme Paranoia Illness

I have had this dream twice now. It starts in an odd looking place that looks like a big cathederal mixed with some kind of nursery, it looks fancy and beautiful. Me and another woman are looking after a group of 7 children, and one of them starts to get ill. We noticed this and began to worry because for some reason we both remembered this "happening before". Eventually this child starts to bite and misbehave and other kids start to get ill too, so it's spreading fast. Now there are 2 ill children who are misbehaving, we warn staff members and i go and ask the sensory room manager if we can use the sensory room to isolate the children but she says no, by the time I am back almost all of the children are ill. Then we turn the tv news on and it is a worldwide spread of an infectious illness. I look down at my arms and stomach and realise i am covered in tiny spots in an odd pattern,  they are the size of little needle holes in my skin but there are millions of them all packed together and in and odd tiger print pattern all across my body. The children are laughing and misbehaving while we try and isolate them and keep them contained, one of them passes away this is symbolised as them falling asleep in my dream. I remember from the last time I had this dream that all the children and only the children who are infected pass away and everyone else is ok.

Despite the fantastical elements, the dream maintains a coherent narrative structure with a clear progression of events.

Outbreak in Cathedral Nursery

A mix of concern, fear, and deja vu as the dream repeats with a sense of impending doom.

The escalating situation with children getting ill and misbehaving adds tension and urgency to the dream.

The setting of a cathedral mixed with a nursery creates a unique and vivid backdrop for the unfolding events.

The vividness of the dream is highlighted by the detailed description of the tiny spots in a unique pattern covering the dreamer's body.

Jess, your dream is a complex and vivid reflection of your inner struggles and anxieties. The setting of the dream, a mix of a cathedral and nursery, symbolizes a blend of spirituality, innocence, and nurturing. The children represent aspects of yourself or your life that need care and attention. The illness spreading among the children could signify how stress and anxiety can quickly spread and affect various areas of your life. The refusal to use the sensory room to isolate the children may reflect feelings of helplessness or lack of control in managing these overwhelming emotions. The worldwide spread of the illness on the news indicates how your worries and concerns may feel all-encompassing and beyond your immediate surroundings. The tiny spots covering your body in a unique pattern suggest feelings of being marked or overwhelmed by negative emotions. The passing away of one of the children could symbolize letting go of certain aspects of yourself or past traumas. The recurring nature of this dream highlights unresolved issues that continue to impact you, emphasizing the importance of addressing and processing these emotions to find peace and healing.

It was pouring rain and when I got to Walmart it turned to a mall that had a psychiatric unit.

The dream had a clear beginning, middle, and end, but the transition from helping my grandpa to the mall was disjointed

Once again at my mom's house

A mix of nostalgia and concern for my deceased family members

The urgency to help my grandpa and the unexpected turn of events at Walmart added to the intensity

The setting and characters felt familiar but the events were fantastical

The rain, the attic, the transformation of Walmart into a mall with a psychiatric unit were vividly clear

Koi,

		In your dream, returning to your mother's house, a place likely associated with childhood and familial bonds, symbolizes a longing for comfort or a connection to your past. The presence of your deceased father and grandfather suggests that you may be grappling with their loss or yearning for their guidance in your current life. The act of seeking medicine, especially in the dream context, often represents a desire to heal or solve a problem, not just for yourself but for those you care about, as indicated by your intention to care for others at your mom's house.

		The transition from a house to Walmart, and then to a mall with a psychiatric unit, signifies a shift from the familiar to the increasingly complex or unfamiliar. The pouring rain in dreams typically reflects emotional release, purification, or intense feelings. Considering that the emotions level of the dream is low (1), the rain could imply a subtle cleansing or a mild emotional disturbance you might be experiencing. The mall turning into a psychiatric unit may reveal your subconscious mind expressing the need for understanding or managing emotions and mental well-being, not necessarily in a clinical sense, but as a metaphor for seeking balance and clarity in your waking life.

		While the dream did carry negative feelings, it seems to be more reflective and contemplative rather than distressing or nightmarish. It's worth noting that these dream figures and settings could be drawing your attention to the various layers of your inner self that may require acknowledgment or care. Your journey through these scenarios indicates an active search for solutions and a willingness to navigate complexities, both of which are constructive approaches in personal growth and emotional processing.

Dream Of Deceased Family Members And Shopping In The Rain

This dream that I'm talking about is happening a while ago. The dream is happening about a week or two ago and is involving my husband. So the thing is my husband has been ill since the arrival of our son last year in May. He was hit by an illness where his heart got weakened so we knew he was really sick. He wasn't understanding the meaning of the illness and wasn't ready for what it meant for him and that's okay. This dream is accompanied by that since he got sick, his illness and in a short amount of time from January this year to March this year his illness escalated quickly and he was determined terminal back in the end of February. Yes, so he was determined terminal, which meant that he would have days, weeks, maybe months. We wouldn't know for sure, but we knew that he was going to die. We knew it. So he died on the 11th of March 2024 at 6.30 he was determined dead but I know he was dead before that because I knew because I was there when he took his last breath I saw it. I called for help before we got to the point where he took his last breath, but no one came. So, when he took his last breath, I went out to the hall to call for help, because I knew it was time. And they started CPR as they should, because maybe they could get him back to life. But I knew that was not the case. His heart had failed, like we knew it would, because of his illness. So, the dream I had about a week or two ago involved this. It's important to say I had our son with me the day he died, but he wasn't in the dream. So, the dream I had about a week or two ago involved this. So the dream I had involved me and my husband in this hospital room and he's laying here on the bed. I can see he's very sick. I can see he's out of breath and out of energy. He doesn't feel like himself and I just sit there and look at him and then I I ask him. I actually ask him while sitting there. I ask him are you are you are you going to die? How are you feeling? And just sitting there empty for words because he wasn't answering because he was relaxing. he was sleeping just sitting there asking ask him these questions are you going to die today and not getting an answer? Was hard and then I see him taking his last present dying and I have been recurring since he he died me dreaming of him and his last breath and it’s kind of haunting I think I don’t know if it’s trying to tell me something by you said over and over again but I keep seeing him dying laying there sleeping and taking his last breath and just like he’s giving up being happy being free

The dream had some fragmented elements, likely due to the emotional distress and the recurring nature of the dream.

The dream was vivid and detailed, with clear imagery of the hospital setting and the husband's deteriorating health.

Sophie,

		Your dream reflects a profound period of grief and the intense emotional processing you're going through after the loss of your husband. Dreaming of a loved one who has passed, especially under such heart-wrenching circumstances, often signifies the mind's attempt to grapple with the reality of that loss and the finality of death. The recurring nature of the dream suggests that this event has left a significant imprint on your psyche, and your subconscious is replaying these moments as a means to understand and cope with the emotions tied to your husband's passing.

		The specific imagery of your husband in the hospital, coupled with the palpable sense of helplessness and the repeated question "Are you going to die?" highlights the anxiety and the search for closure. In the dream, your husband's silence and your unanswered questions may represent the unspoken words and unresolved feelings you're wrestling with in your waking life. The fact that your son is absent from the dream, despite his presence at the time of your husband's death, could indicate a protective instinct, an unconscious effort to shield him from the pain or perhaps a focus on the personal and intimate connection you had with your husband in his final moments.

		Seeing your husband taking his last breath repeatedly in your dream is understandably haunting. This could be your mind's way of confronting the trauma and the stark reality of his absence. It's a representation of the struggle between holding on to his memory and the need to let go, to allow yourself to find peace and acceptance. The dream's intensity and negative feelings underscore the depth of your love and the impact of the loss on your emotional well-being.

		As you navigate this challenging time, your dreams may continue to serve as a conduit for your grief, reflecting the complex emotions you're experiencing. Your mind is seeking to find a balance between remembering your husband and moving forward. It's common in the grieving process to seek meaning or messages in our dreams, but often they are manifestations of our deepest thoughts and feelings, a mirror to the healing journey we are on.

		Sophie, it's clear that your dreams are a significant part of your healing process, and they hold a mirror to the emotional journey you are on. As you find your way through this, may you find moments of peace and a path to healing that honors both your husband's memory and the strength within you to embrace the days ahead.

Dream About Husband Terminal Illness Last Breath

Last night I dreamt I was in a mall, going to a cinema. In order to go to the film, theater goers had to walk through a tank containing a shark. In my dream I was apprehensive, until a young boy showed me that the shark was ill and couldn't see. I suddenly went from being scared of the shark to feeling sorry for it and wanting to help it.

The dream was fairly coherent, as it had a clear beginning, middle, and end.

The Shark Tank

The emotional tone of the dream was a mix of apprehension and sympathy. The dreamer was initially scared of the shark, but then felt sorry for it and wanted to help.

The dream was not very realistic, as it is not possible for a shark to be kept in a tank in a mall.

The dream was quite vivid, as the dreamer could clearly see the shark and the other people in the mall.

Candy,

	Your dream reveals a journey of overcoming fear and cultivating compassion. Initially, the shark in the tank represents a formidable obstacle that fills you with apprehension. However, the young boy's revelation that the shark is harmless and vulnerable shifts your perspective. This transition mirrors your own ability to recognize that your fears may be unfounded or exaggerated.

	As you approach the shark with empathy, you transition from being hindered by fear to feeling moved by compassion. This suggests a growing inner strength and resilience within you. The dream encourages you to embrace your bravery and to extend kindness even towards those or situations that initially intimidate you.

	Connection to previous dreams:

	Your previous dreams often touch upon themes of personal growth, self-discovery, and relationships.
