Sexual Assault
Escape
Poison
Chased
Bus
House

Dream

In the first dream, it was possibly me that was raped, a possible couple was involved, I remember the man and woman. I tried escaping by telling them I needed to go to the toilet, I managed to escape but I believe the woman caught me and the send time I tried escaping, they had put a galvanized chain link fence, they left lots of room for someone to escape from the underneath and I remember thinking how ridiculous it'd be if I tried going my butt up. I later on saw the whole building, it was huge, white, not easily visible. I took pictures of it and the street names nearby as evidence, my understanding is that I was going to report it to the police. I woke up to one of my cat's scratchings a door, eventually fell asleep again. This time I visited a man I had met online in my old neighborhood from my childhood and preteen times, when we got to the apartment, we sat down to a dinner table and he told me he had previously murdered 35 women. I remember thinking I needed to leave. There was a budgie on the table that was peeing in a small cup, I was shocked and took my phone out. He wanted us to eat, I checked his fridge and noticed he kept foods that had expired in July and it's September now. He was mixing a smoothie or something and I realize he was trying to poison me. I told him I needed to go to the bathroom, once I got in, I locked the door and tried hearing if he was nearby or standing right by the door. He went for a cigarette and I took my shoes, jacket and tried to make as little noise when leaving as possible, knowing the door would make a sound anyways and for some reason I didn't shut it behind me. I remember rushing down the stairs, finding me in the same old streets I sometimes see in my other dreams. I tried changing my looks, wearing a hoodie. I looked at his house and it was pitch dark so I knew he had left it. I kept walking forward thinking the bus is eventually coming anyways, there were lots of people in the streets and he was suddenly in the crowd trying to kill me. I managed to get into the bus, I kept thinking how was I going to pay for the trip but then remembered I had the local transportation app.

Dinner
Locked

Dream

I dreamt about my old boss. We had a shared friend and they wanted to have dinner but wanted me there as a buffer to keep the conversation going. My friend made me stop at their house first to help her get ready, then insisted we drive over together. The dinner itself went okay, we just hung out at his house. Then she started getting kind of crazy. Making side comments and twitching. I think she threw something of mine in his room and I was forced to go get it, and I found a weird ring buried in the carpet by the wall. I dug it out and brought it back to him. It looked feminine but I wasn't sure so I just handed it to him. He handed it to our friend, who hadn't been in his room, and it clicked for me that they had slept together before. She started freaking out because he didn't say it out loud. Like, CRAZY freaking out. Mascara running down her face crying, messing up her already super short hair, throwing and breaking things, screaming. Because she wanted something serious and he didn't. I tried to stay calm, but she brought up some stuff to me about how she got an ex of mine to cheat with her and tried with another that turned her down. How guys had crushes on me and she would sleep with them to get them to ignore me again, like she had with this boss. On and on about all this awful stuff she did. Eventually my calmness wasn't getting through and I snapped. My boss had already told her to get out of his house and she wasn't listening and her blatant disrespect flipped a switch in me. I started yelling back, but not uncontrollable screaming. It was a deep commanding voice that I'd never used on her and she wavered, but still wouldn't leave without me since we'd come together. I tricked her into thinking I was going, and then shut and locked the door on her. It was awkward for my ex-boss and I since she was still pounding on the door screaming and I was now locked in his house with him after she confessed he liked me, but I wasn't going anywhere near her. He called the cops to arrest her for trespassing and destruction of property. It was really cold out but I had to walk back to my car. He offered me a ride and I declined, so he walked with me instead. It was kind of nice to talk with him like that on the way home.

Dream

I was in the hotel that I used to get all the time when I lucid dreamed, but I wasn’t searching the building like I usually do on my own. This time I was in the ‘lobby’ getting a tattoo appointment for a tattoo that I really want in the waking world. The people that worked there looked so dystopian, the lobby looked like a really sketchy office, the lights were dim and had a yellow tint to them, and there was a couple of tattoo chairs to the right around the corner. I could see the long hallway that I always dreaded in this hotel with the infinite amount of doors, and the brown check in desk was in front of me. The lady was asking me what kind of tattoo I wanted and what my budget was. I tried to pull up the vine tattoo that I wanted on Pinterest, but it wouldn’t load. I explained to the lady that I was sorry for the app not loading, and that I couldn’t describe what I wanted to a t. She said it’s okay and that I could go in one of their waiting rooms until I had the reference picture pulled up. I said okay and went. I don’t remember what caused me to feel the need to hide from these people, but I bolted down the long hallway to find an unlocked door I could go through and hide. I eventually found one, locked myself in and sat by the door hiding my feet and shadows. The room didn’t look like the other creepily identical hotel rooms with the single bed, chair, and nightstand. This one looked like an old timey bathroom. I remember the yellow tinted lighting piercing through under the door and onto the cream tile floor in the bathroom. The workers were looking for me and asking if I was okay, and if I was ready to get the tattoo. I remember feeling very unsafe, and I felt like these were s walkers that I was dealing with. Their voices didn’t sound right, and I kept hearing non human sounds, like demon and creature noises. I eventually woke up feeling very panicked and I thought they had found me.

Locked

Dream

I don’t know where my dream started. I just remember we were all trying to get away. I don’t remember all the details but it took mulitiple bullets because I still had the round bullets in there from when I prepped for the gun range to kill the people after us. My boyfriend and I left the house to find the car and park it closer. I remember frantically loading up mine and my boyfriends guns when we get home. I start yelling at everyone to grab their necessities and get in the car because we don’t have much time. My grandma took too long because she couldn’t find her shoes and wouldn’t listen to me when i said “just put on a pair, it doesn’t matter. I’m wearing sneakers with no socks” but she wouldn’t listen so i had to go to the other room to find her shoes and by the time i find them the people showed up and locked us is the house. For some reason they weren’t killing us so we were still plotting to make a run for it towards the car. We all made it to the car except for one person and I could see vividly who it was in my dream but now I can’t remember for some reason

dream-of-unlocking-house-and-pregnancy-conflict
Abortion
Ex
Happy
Hugging
Court
House

Dream

I was in this unfamiliar house with several people. For some reason the house was locked and we couldn’t get out. When we try to get out I couldn’t. At some point in the dream we found a way to unlock the doors in the house from the inside out. At that point we needed to go to the other side of the house to turn on this water system for something. We were able to connect with a couple of neighbors who were willing to hear us out and grant us access through their house to get to the water system. During this whole time there was another of the part of the dream where I was undergoing IVF just to see if I’m able to conceive a child. My friend Tia was also with me who was also going through that process with her husband. In real life they went through that process to conceive their first child because of male infertility. This time around they were having a difficult time. The process included meeting up with a group of women to do a few things as part of this process. I didn’t expect to get pregnant I just wanted to try it out to see if I’ll be ok once I officially decide to have children which I would prefer to be partnered by then to take that route. At some point my friend Tia was hugging me and touched my stomach and can feel a heartbeat. I told her no I’m not pregnant and then suddenly I started feeling it to. I started to get very anxious because I wasn’t ready to become a parent and I was worried because somehow this child would be my abusive ex child as well. I broke down and my friend consoled me knowing I do not have kids with this man. I told her I would have to hide it from him and from the child and become a single parent or get an abortion. I was very conflicted cause being in my 30s I knew I want to become a mother but not with my abusive ex who I’m currently going through the criminal court case system to hold him accountable for his abuse towards me. I did not know what to do but I felt a significantly leaning to get an abortion because I didn’t not want to have a kid with that man. I was also hoping making that choice won’t impact my ability to conceive again when I’m in a healthy relationship and feel more ready for parenthood. The dream ended with us trying to get to this water system through a neighbor’s apartment. The neighbors we connected to were all kind to us. One woman in particular invited me over when I started to tell her what I was going through with the pregnancy and she had so much compassion for me. We bonded in that way and later on we all ate some food and hung out. We were also very happy to finally be able to get out of this house that we felt imprisoned in because we couldn’t get out of it initially.

Phone

Dream

I had another dream about “Robert The Doll” and we were around some people and I knew what he was capable of but I used my mind to help him terrorize other people, when it was time to go and he was getting to his dangerous possessive level I left and got a phonecall he was getting dressed and walking around. It’s because I dreamed about him that’s due to me watching Jurassic park scary movie 🎥 it’s ok. He was locked 🔒 away and forgotten about and I felt bad and cried about him and the boy who loved him as part of the real story. I was extremely extremely excited scared and excited and happy 😃 I saw him and I loved 🥰 him. Also remembering how this story could relate to my overprotective parents where I have to follow stipulations and rules and boundaries. I helped him although an extremely strong and malevolent force “when messed with the wrong way” he can be on your side when necessary.
