Dream

老師委派給我們一個任務,分屍一人一具屍體,都是一些無名屍。老師教我如何做,我們就跟著做。但是我感覺十分不耐煩、很累、很麻煩,不斷和身旁的朋友抱怨,說著「還好我今天不是穿漂亮的洋裝,不然就會被弄髒了」。然後還要不小心做錯步驟,臉部到部分切錯刀了,但我想著應該沒有差,反正最後屍體應該都會被絞碎。繼續切割著屍體,現場一片血肉模糊。但意外的沒有流太多血出來,並且也不會太難切。慢慢的切割完上半身了,只剩下下半身還沒處理,但我找不到下半身的屍體了,有些驚慌,就在尋找下半身屍體的過程中醒來。

dream-about-data-transfer-error
Mistake

Dream

My friends Dan and Jessica Scott, had trusted me to take care of some big financial transaction involving their home and taxes and personal savings. All of the evidence was on a floppy disk which they needed to transfer to another format but could not do. I was working out some details about the transfer of the data when I was called tk talk to a banker. I went to the counter and identified myself as their proxy and signed the paperwork. I also began the transfer, so I thought, of their data. The man at the counter asked me to confirm before I signed, whether things like water and other utilities were signed to be included as well, I thought they had been, I had not considered it but if they were not these items would have to be bought separately and be much more expensive. I needed tk check the disk. But I couldn't because the data was transferring. I thought I could check ir later but then realized i had done something wrong and the data was actually not being copied but overwritten. I wondered it it would be worth stopping the process, but it was 98% done. That 2% left was probably not even anything read!ble. I was horrified. I hoped they made a backup- but then why would they have, that was what I was supposed to be doing. I had effectively erased all evidence of their home ownership, income, identity, etc.

Dream

I was in the wrong lane trying to make a turn and experiencing frustration when another driver didn't let me in and acted as if she was scolding me because it is my issue that I made a mistake. Next I was sharing a sandwich with my son Aaron. Then there was a matter of a tent and we were camping in the woods whereby the original tent size was expanded much larger so that it could accommodate more people. I was unaware of its ability to be expanded. Next there was vivid imagery of traveling through the green pastures whereby there was black Angus cows eating. This was coupled with my desire to be a cowboy and to have owned a spread just like that. Finally I was taking my former girlfriend's mother's pet, Sophie, who was balancing a ball inside and outside a pet store.

Sleep

Dream

I dreamt that I was in a cult and my cult leader suggested I pour crickets or maybe grasshoppers all over our bed - I don’t remember if it was crickets or grasshoppers since it seemed to be both at times - and then I actually did poor circlet/grasshoppers all over me and my husbands bed and then I watched them scurry away and underneath the bed and mattress. Then I went looking for them, having realized my mistake at agreeing to do this, and they were all gone. And I went search and search under the bed and pulling up the mattress but none of the big ones were there. Then I tried to lay down and go back to sleep but I kept feeling tiny crickets/grasshoppers on me and trying to swat them off, but the suggestion of them being there got me very anxious and unhappy. I did see tiny crickets/grasshoppers on my arms and body but I’d kill them pr swat them away, but they kept appearing. Then the cult leader laughed at me and said you’ll forever be wondering where they are, what they’re doing, and if they’re in your bed and I was very unhappy and anxious and regretful. Then I woke up.

Wife

Dream

A middle aged woman started to go down an alley where see saw this disturbing looking head (it looked like Prime Minister Chidulken from SAO). She started to run away and down the street. The head lifted up on 4 spingly spider like legs and went after her, smiling. But it was much faster than her, it was just toying with her, making her think she had a chance. After her, he started killing and destroying everyone else. Suddenly, I was in a hotel or some big business of some sort. I frantically went into a room and locked the door, praying he would skip the room since it was locked. He banged on the door and I was not near strong enough to stop him. It was a mistake. Because I locked the door, he knew to look for some one hiding. When he came in, the room started being destroyed. It was like a presentation room with the white fold up tables and such. The ceiling tiles started coming down along with wires. He found me as soon as the door was flung open. I tried to hide behind the door, but if I would have, it would have crushed me when it flew open. Next I knew, I was playing dead on the ground. Eyes open, pale skin, praying he didn’t realize I was still alive. After that, I mustve fallen asleep because I woke up to heavy thundering rain pouring down on me and all around even though the room was indoors. I thought it should be safe to move around with how much noise the rain was making. I started to move, then my alarm went off on my phone next to me. I scrambled and shut it off quickly. The monster came back on his spindly legs, straight at me. I was playing dead again but once again, I messed up. If I was really dead, the alarm would’ve kept going. Next thing I know, the head is a full blown, fat mans body in a suit. I start stabbing its face as it lays next to me. Through the chin. The eyes, everything on its face. It keeps talking though. The only thing not covered in blood on its face is its mouth and I dont hear words but I know its sinister, mocking me. I keep aiming for its mouth but I couldn’t hit it. I just kept stabbing over and over. All of a sudden, I was Turk (from Scrubs) standing and talking to Carla (his wife) who was laying down in bed. I was making stabbing uppercut motions over and over and then I wondered where I was. It had propelled me somewhere different in time. I was so confused as to where I was. I went to the bedroom mirror and looked at my hands in horror. They were covered in blood like they were but I was no longer there. Was this foreshadowing that I was going to kill Carla?

Dream

I was in a squid games like contest with hundreds of other people. We had to walk in a long line on a sidewalk. I look to the other side of the street and there's a man saying " don't do it!". I heard a gunshot and when I looked back he was dead. Everyone had numbers on their head in bold black text. I looked in my reflection and I saw mine was a blue 27 and looked like a software glitch. I tried to cover it up with a sticker. We went to this big building and the guards gave us a big packet of math equations. When we were done with it, the guards would look through it and if you made one mistake you would die.

Mad

Dream

I was sitting at a table eating red grapes with my mom and stepdad and I scratched the side of my nose and Brian (my stepdad) started saying that I was disgusting and why would I pick my nose at the table in front of everyone. I thought it was funny at first because he had obviously mistaked me scratching the side of my nose with picking my nose so I tried to explain this but he kept going on about how disgusting I was and my mom chimmed in and sided with him. I kept trying to explain that I hadn’t but they weren’t listening. My mom asked me why I was making a big deal out of it and I was trying to tell them about how I was bullied in grade school and accused of picking my nose when I hadn’t. At this point of the dream it was very stressful and my mom called my grandma and told her not to come over because I was being rediculous. I started crying and my mom got mad and told me to get out of their house and she sent me to a Christian camp so that I’d “be a better person”. In this camp I met some people I was semi okay with so I was sort of friends with them. I decided to skip some of the classes I was supposed to go to so I could explore this church camp but when I was alone I started passing out and leaving my body. At first I thought it was a different part of the dream so I was exploring these corridors. They seemed very familiar to me like I’d been down them before and I turned down a hallway and seen a man with dark hair standing at the end. I recognized him and shouted his name. I couldn’t see his face from the brilliance of the light coming from the outside light streaming through the big glass doors he was standing in front of. He seemed to recognize me from the way he held himself and I ran to him. He opened his arms and caught me and we embraced. Suddenly he was gone and I was all alone. Then I realized I was outside of my body and I had to find my way back. I ran back through the corridors that seemed to be longer and more confusing than before and I saw my body and ran to it. I woke back up into the dream back in the camp and realized I had to get back to the group so I tried to find them but I kept passing out and leaving my body as I went. I was easier and easier to get back to my body each time I’d left it. I finally found the group but I passed out. One of my sort of friends saw and I told them not to tell anyone and they were praising God and told me that I was like a super power. I shrugged and sat down because I’d felt like passing out again but then my mom woke up up and the dream was over.

Dream

The scientist was watching the subject, lowering her guard as the child did nothing but play with toys. On her tablet, the scientist lowered her guard, playing a sound she couldn't have realized set her off. It was the last mistake she'd made, as playing that sound angered the child. With snarling teeth and a thirst for blood, the child ripped the scientist apart. In a school built flat and plain, a young girl spent her days with only one friend, always feeling different. At lunch, she'd often go to the side of the building and sit at a bench beside many trees, singing to herself. She noticed there was always a teacher or adult of some kind watching her, but she knew only to trust one. She called him Uncle, as she had no family as far as she knew. She lived in a spare hotel with a strict woman and a few other girls, sharing a room with her one friend. Despite having what she needed, she longed for freedom outside their watchful eye. One day, a new teacher appeared, a man with a tricky smile, the girl immediately refused to trust him. She felt something off about the man and decided to prove she was right. During one lunch, she followed him and watched as, with a fellow student in hand, went down a hidden elevator. She waited, watching the elevator close, but when it opened again, it was the man standing alone. Noting her findings, she untrusted her friend with the info, but she thought it was an overreaction. Frustrated, she turned to Uncle, who was just as worried. Pulling her into a separate and secluded room, he told her that in order to keep investigating, they must keep everything a secret. Upon agreement, he gave her a phone with sole access to him. He said to be careful and never let her guard down. Just as quickly, lunch was over. She spent the next few days watching the suspicious man, bringing another child each day down the elevator. With some guidance from Uncle, she hid until dark, watching the elevator. Unexpectedly, the man showed up again under the cover of night with none other but her friend. She knew once the elevator doors closed that she had to do something, fearing that all the children were murdered by the man. After a few silent minutes, the man came back out and left her with this chance. She snuck into the elevator and quickly closed the doors. Inside were three buttons; 1, 2, and R. Without too much thought, she pressed R. Suddenly, the elevator started to plummet. Fearful, she pried the door open and jumped into a slight cubby in the wall, she watched as the elevator continued passenger-less until she couldn't even see it. Looking up, she knew the only way out was to wait. After seemingly hours, a speck of silver could be seen rising. Swiftly, she jumped on top and played flat in hopes she wouldn't be crushed. Instead, the trap door opened and she saw a familiar face. Her friend somehow knew she was there and took her inside. Pressing 2, she explained that the school was just a cover up for a secret lab underneath. Upon the elevator opening, immense deja vue washed over her. Scientists were watching the kids, every one she saw go down the elevator and more. Her friend walked her to a room labeled "Beast" that was sectioned off. She felt something pull her inside, feeling as of she knew this place. One inside, she saw a familiar face. Uncle was sitting as a desk, the walls covered in her pictures, even ones she drew. The few screens in there showed her life playing like a movie. Uncle explained as much as he could, but in the shock it was hard to believe him. She was the beast. Ehebthen showed a video of her childhood. The violent attack on the scientist, showing the girl her own snarling teeth and sharp claws. Uncle told her everything, that he was her scientist. The fifth one she had, the rest ending up in funerals. As it turns out, she hated the sound of of sirens and babies crying, according to studies, but above all she distrusted any female scientist. That's why Uncle was so special. She had no memory of the events, but slowly she was getting flashes of such anger. She was the beast. And the suspicious man? He was her birth father, the leader of the operation, and her as the reason it existed in the first place. Her live changed from there but she knew that is she could control the beast inside with training under Uncle, she could do so much good. With a smile, she was determined to do just that.

Dream

I was in my apartment to building my coffee table. But there were no windows or doors. All my other furniture except my sofa has disappeared too. I'd made a few mistakes while building the table so was taking it apart to fix them. And my ex kept popping in and out the room. Watching me while I was rebuilding the table, laughing and joking at my mistakes like we always did. Eventually he told me to hand him the screwdriver so he could fix it. So I gave him the screwdriver and he put the table back together perfectly, fixing all my mistakes. He then stood up and cuddled me as we looked at the table proud of what we had made. I then remembered we are broken up and felt an overwhelming sense of sadness. I knew I'd never actually experience this moment in real life and it was all a dream. He had disappeared from my arms. I hasn't even felt him leave he was just gone. And I stood staring at the table feeling this sadness.
