Dream

I had dream where I was at a place in the woods where my grandparents own a little house and I was in some special forces where I had a rifle and me and 10 other people were there to maybe be investigating for something I'm not sure. Then after a while we all ran to a car after the investigation wad over. Then there Was another investigation where I had a pistol so I guess a diffrent weapon indicates a diffrent investigating also depending on the danger. So I investigate the house looking for stuff then we are told to leave the house immediately and we all run to car to get out of the property or area but my friend who was in the same investigation as me get stuck and the car doesn't want for no one so I take the risk and try to help my friend and the car takes off so me and my friend are running for the car and also running away from the house but my friends starts to fall reslly behind and right when I get to the car and look back. I wake up

Investigation
Mushroom

Dream

I had a dream I was this old fat dude and apparently there was a zombie forever ago and he had a wife named Cathrine, it was my job to investigate how they all died even though we new it was all from the zombie apocalypse, when it went in back stories I was the guy but when I was talking to him I was me, he lost all this arms and legs but hand some now, Catherine had lost one leg, along with all the other friends but there was a family member that had lost only an arm, when I was done with my investigation I had to make a little thing with all the pictures and how they all died with evidence which weirdly gave my English assignment vibes, but instead of doing it all on a paper I just made a cake for Cathrine's memory and put pictures of them together and the friends, there was also pictures of this little girl, all I remember of her is that she was weird and liked creepy things and mushrooms, she had a creepy doll with long blonde hair and deep blue eyes, and a dress covered in dirt with leaves in her hair, I was gathering photos in the past and took a picture of her, one of the guys asked why I was taking a photo of it and I said "I might miss the creepy doll, okay!!!" Cause apparently we were leaving some where. In the beginning they have 3 children and eldest daughter middle daughter and youngest son, they all died, what I was apparently investigating was who gave it to Cathrine, we knew so far that it was her youngest daughter who gave it to the rest of the kids, but we thought it was an old creepy guy who gave it to the daughter cause they were weirdly close one time, but instead, they had bought her a dolphin toy and it ended up having the virus that carried it to the little girl and turned her, while I was making the cake I was singing vampire empire, but like consciously singing it, not the dream making me do it, and I was singing it as I woke up. I also remember it very vividly ma scan describe exactly what everyone and thing looked like down to every little detail.

Dream

Inside my kitchen I’m filming a movie of a concert show taking place of some pop star, there are green and purple lights as well as fog machines. After the shoot I in my back garden and see the cinematographer Robert Elswitt. I impersonate the director Paul Thomas Anderson and start talking to him. We bounce a basketball to each other off a wall and he starts talking about this weird fungus. I see a vision of this fungus in a test tube as he’s talking. It’s orange and like a thick goo which breaks down into smaller balls which eventually melt away into several miniature human skulls. He tells me that this fungus is the source point of all human DNA. In this dream I’m investigating a murder that happened in 2006 and I ask Robert if he knows any details. He says he doesn’t know. My Dad comes out and tells us we’re being too loud and we should finish the game. Robert bounces the ball onto the grass where it stays. I go over there and start digging in that spot and see a barrel with a dead human body inside, the murder I was investigating.

Dream

My second dream of the nigght was bizzare. I was something of an investigator. I was looking for someone in particular who was committing murderes. I get to this building and i find at least someone working with the enemy organization. She tries to attack and escape me. We are ina huge government building but in the hopsital wing. I end up killing her and skinning her and i gather evidence to turn in that she is this enemy killer. Also im trying to help vance who is also an investigator who needed proof they were after him. By the morning time people are coming in, and im anxious to turn in the evidence. I find vance i tell him privately what i have done, and hes happy but nervous about the evidence about him. Because the evidence would make it seem like he was at the crime scene. He isnt sure how he feels about that. I tell him i have the evidence in my bag and to just tell me what he wants me to do before i cant even leave the building and this place is filled eith agents and i cant tell my side of the story. He is unsure. I wake up

Dream

My most recent dream was this guy was being suspected for some thing and I was with like some friend or somebody that was investigating and we go behind someplace and we see that there’s like a bunch of blood smear from this guy and he sees that the guy left with the bike, but then he hears that something stayed in the shed And I kinda already feel like it’s a beast or something because I feel like I just already knew it and it’s also my dream so I almost manifested it and I like run and the door open and the door swinging open pushes me up to fly up on top of this crate crate that the stranger things like beast was hiding inside and it felt kind of like one of those scenes and then investigator friend gets eaten by the big beast monster and then it starts trying to come after me and I kinda run circles with it around the crate, and I think it wakes me up. if I had to guess the person that was investigating was my old neighbor friend named Angel and he kept going around locations where security like stands in front of us and says we can’t come any further so I just ask him do you really like hanging out in places when we’re right next to security and asking us not to go any further, because it’s anxiety to me.

Investigation

Dream

I had a dream where my mom had just bought a house for our family (me, my mom, my brother, and my sister.) It was a beautiful and still furnished home. There were three bedrooms. I helped my brother find a bed that was comfortable for him and he fell asleep. I also found the master bedroom and designated that room to my mom. I then walked into the third bedroom and noticed that it was still very much full of life. There was vibrant decorations still up, memories and arts and crafts on the walls, trophies on the selves. It felt like a young person’s room and it was decorated similar to my taste. The bedding was still there which was strange. I decided to try to sleep in the room but something was gnawing me to explore it deeper. I started to inspect the room closer and noticed that the computer in the corner of the room was really old. It looked like it belonged in the 90’s. The computer had a rounded back and it still had Windows XP running on it. Why had the prior occupants rushed out and left so many personal belongings? That was odd to me that things seemed frozen in time 25+ years later. Why had no one lived here since then? Is that why my mom had been able to afford the house? I then started reading some of the journals that were still left on the desk. In one of the journal entries, the prior occupant of the room had detailed paranormal experiences. One of them included a severed hand that had grabbed a visitor once and had scared the children on numerous occassions. There were a lot more entries so I gathered what I could find and rushed downstairs. I found my sister still awake in the living room and showed her what I found. My sister confirmed that she sensed there was something off about the house, she kept looking at the corner of the room where she couldn’t see anything but sensed there was something watching her there. I closed my eyes and put my hands up infront of me to sense the energy of the house. I did sense that there was dark energy around me, and set forth a force field of protective light around the house in the effort to expel the darkness around us. It lasted temporarily but I could feel the dark energy coming back into the house. I deducted that it was likely because the dark energy had a strong and long term attachment to the house and that’s why my protective barrier wasn’t holding. I held my sisters hands and asked her to set intentions of light surrounding her. She did so and our protective energy was stronger, but I could sense the dark energy was fighting back. I realized that we needed my mom as well. I called her over and the three of us held hands and we casted light around us, and my mom's energy was so powerful that this time, it stuck! I realized that it was possible that the dark energy would still to try to come back to the house so I told my family that we should only stay at the house for a short time and try to back out of the sale. I was also interested in investigating who used to live here and to see if we could find out more about what happened to them and see if we could meet them. The dream ended after we deciphered who the author of the journal entries was and were trying to figure out how to contact them.

Father
Friendship
Investigation
Promotion

Dream

Now I have two dreams, but they do coincide with each other. The first one, I was being chased by zombies. Eventually, I got surrounded. And... I don't know how, but I was able to talk to some of them. And they were able to talk to me. They wanted to rejoin society. And they needed someone to bring their request to the people who were not infected. so that's exactly what I did since I was in the army I brought it to my higher-ups and they were very reluctant at first because these are zombies and they don't really believe that they could change but in time they realized that this could be a good benefit for us so we did. I didn't realize it at the moment but I got promoted because of this. Later on I saw some of the zombies. They were looking more human-like but some of them had skepticism on everything. I talked to one of them and he feels like we are betraying them somehow. I said I would ease his uneasiness and I would find out so I went and talked to some of the higher-ups and it seems like the zombie was right. They were planning on implanting zombies with some microchips. I was able to stop them from implanting the first batch of microchips in their heads. Just barely though. I went to the higher ups and I asked them why they were doing this and they said that it's pretty obvious isn't it. We want to make sure that these zombies are compliant and obey us. I told them look I understand where you're coming from I really do okay if these zombies go berserk and attack us you'd really want some way to stop them trust me I do but these zombies are willingly coming to us and asking to rejoin society there's no need to do this at all. so I was able to convince our higher-ups about this and again they were reluctant but they agreed that they should only do this as a last-measure type of situation. The second part, I don't know how many years or days have gone by, but dealt with someone stealing my father's journal, which had all his ideas and everything. When we went to this new place, we found that some of the ideas that he had was implemented here and was given to someone else. We tried to find this person, and eventually we did, and this person that we met was very nice at first. He told us that he found the journal in the garbage, and when he took it out, he liked the ideas and implemented them at the point, because he was told that the person who read in the journal was missing and I told him that the person was not missing we got sent to a witness protection program we couldn't grab all of our stuff so we explained the situation to the young gentleman and he seemed really nice about it he even gave us some of his business cards and he said that he had it still in his house and he'd bring it in tomorrow. So we left and he stopped me for a little bit to discuss some great ideas and stuff like that to chat with him and then I left. The next day my father and mother got arrested for stealing drugs and a golden bicycle. Since I was in the army I kind of got an immunity to it so they didn't really put me away cuz I wasn't part of it. I was very sad but very curious at the moment I dug deep into it and then I went up to the guy who had the notebook and asked him if I could have it back he said that he doesn't have it at all saying that my parents stole it from him and from there I felt something was off so I don't remember very much after that only thing I remember is that with the military I was able to use my connections to get a more in-depth accurate investigation. I was walking into a room, and I saw him presenting the video of my parents getting arrested and saying that he knew all along I couldn’t take it, and I was able to unplug the cord connected to the projector and I took it with me and I wanted to talk to the higher ups but he followed me because he wanted to make fun of my family more. We eventually got to the investigation room, and I asked them if they found any new evidence to clear my family's name. They said that they found a security video But it doesn't really show who is in the video at all But it shows someone grabbing the golden bicycle And Where the drugs were as well, so I asked them to play the video and as I was watching I saw a glimpse of the notebook Being put into someone's jacket pocket and I told the investigator to rewind it and play it right back slowly and I said, look, there's the notebook that we were looking for. We asked him to go get for us. You can see someone's hand putting it in the jacket pocket. So that shows you who really stole the drugs. Because if you're saying that the drugs were stolen the same day As when he was supposed to give us our notebook back with our ideas and stuff like that, it shows that this young guy right here stole everything and tried to pin it on my family. They saw the video and saw the evidence, the guy then tried to run out and they said security stop him and he didn't get far. They brought him back in and I told them you should have never messed with my family at all. We could have been friends, okay? I have no idea why you would do something like this at all. The investigator then gave me a little gift from what it looked like it was a Tamagotchi and I was given the notebook. As I was heading back to present the notebook to my family, because they were being released to, there was water block in the way. The path was blocked. I waited a little bit and wanted it clear up a little bit for me to cross, but as I was going to cross, I woke up

Dream

OK in my dream it was my mom and my husband however, in my dream they were playing the parts of my mom and dad. My sister and I went over to their house for some reason we knew they had been murdered, they had been shot and they were in the back room, but we never went back there and we called the police , the police came out and took their bodies out of the house my sister and. I were devastated and terrified as we could not imagine who would have done this, we were looking for my dad‘s truck and we couldn’t find it anywhere. All of a sudden this guy that my husband and I know that had worked for us showed up and he was devastated that my parents were gone but didn’t know where my dads truck was at, sudden somebody pulled up driving my dad’s truck and he would never get out and he just drove around in circles really really fast around the house and then the police came back at that point. Everybody was gone and they came into the house to start an investigation and then I woke up. I have thought about this all day. Even though my mother passed away in 2016 this dream has just been so scary for me to even think about, what could it possibly mean?

Dream

I had a dream that I was on a large ship and it kept catching on fire, so we were investigating the crew, like the furnace engine crew, to see if maybe they were getting drunk or something. So before we were actually able to do this investigation, we realized that the owner of the ship is the one who was sabotaging. To catch on fire, because he would have made more money collecting from the losses or the insurance on the losses, even though he was on the ship. So he would have died and gone down with the ship just like everybody else, so it didn't make a whole lot of sense. But anyway, after we made that discovery, there was like a ball, I don't know if it was a distraction from what had just happened, but I ended up dancing with one person and then I ended up dancing with another person. So at first I was dancing with a friend and it wasn't really working because she kept trying to, she wouldn't let me lead or like I wouldn't let her lead, it just wasn't working. So then I tried dancing with this guy and that didn't really work because he just wasn't a very good dancer. And then I danced with this other guy who was really strong, he was kind of swinging me around and it was a lot of fun and then I had him hold my hands like in the proper way. And then I ended up trying to marry him, but he was already kind of betrothed to this other girl. So I ended up participating in a debate and on the way to the debate I met his father and I ended up impressing his father and his father ended up going back on the betrothal and allowed him to marry me. But after that I kind of had to, there was like a waiting period so I had to go find a place to live and my house was open compared to the other houses, it was like the walls only went up halfway. But there was a little kitten in there, she was deaf and her name was Mae, M-A-E, and she was a calico, similar to the cat I have now, but more with white on her and she was just incredibly intelligent and she was like helping me do things. But there was like snow getting in my house and the kitchen was muddy, it was like unfinished, you know. But if I went to places, Mae would be able to find me and if I told her to go home, she would go home. So even though she was like cute and fluffy and small, like I didn't really have to worry about her like running away or getting lost or anything like that. And then I also moved in before I started paying rent and like I had a friend stay with me for a couple days and there were other cats that I brought there with me and they were all fine to be there. And at the end of the dream, I remember visiting a friend in their home and they had like idols carved into the wall or sculpted onto the wall and they seemed to be sentient, like we could interact with them and talk with them, but we were climbing out of a hole and kind of getting, we were climbing out of their house, I guess, their house is like a hole in the ground, but we were getting, you know, like away from them at the end of the dream.

Dream

I was on holiday and first went by boat to an island near Bali. There were all kinds of tribes on the island. These were men who only wore a piece of animal leather, carried spears and had dreads. Someone I was on holiday with was murdered there. A whole investigation had to be done. Hannah was there too, and her room was next to my room. There were no doors so I could walk straight in. Then we had the funeral of the person who was murdered. But this was stopped by someone because they wanted to do more research. Then we went to South Korea, but it felt like Thailand. We were in a very nice hotel with a nice boutique, grandma was suddenly there too, and the three owners were very cheesy and had to laugh at everything. Then I suddenly saw Maria Tailor walking past, she had dyed her hair blue. I spoke to her to say how much I liked her, but she was a bit haughty. I was wearing gold Dolce & Gabbana shoes. When she saw those shoes she suddenly wanted to talk to me. I then went back to that boutique in annoyance to find my grandmother, but she was gone. Then Pleuntje suddenly was in that boutique with her father to find clothes for that evening, because she was going to Club Shelter. When I left the hotel I got stuck on the door handle and security laughed. Then we arranged for three cars to drive across the country. We were suddenly with my father, Brenda, Lucy, Yvonne, Dirk, Jorg, Iris and Lotte. We went to visit the family of the person who was murdered on the island. Lucy and I kept whining in the car about wanting to go to the 7/11. My music always turned on very loudly in the car. I only started vlogging on the second day in South Korea, because nothing interesting had happened on the first day. My father then started to control the car with magic by pointing when he wanted to go in a direction. Then suddenly I was in a hotel room with my mother and sister and my legs were completely tattooed with colored puzzle pieces. It was kind of like a sleeve on my legs. There was also a tattoo of two eyes and a few loose pictures. I showed it to my mother and she was in shock. At first I really liked it, but then I started to have doubts and suddenly found it very ugly. I immediately wanted to have it removed by laser. In the mirror it looked like I was wearing colored stockings.
