i had a dream within my dream. from what i remember at the beginning of my dream me and my two other cousins where in their house in their room and me and my other cousins legs are wrapped around each other and my other cousin was painting on my leg and from there the scenes switched and i was sleeping but while i was sleeping i was trying to wake up and felt paralyzed to do so. after a while what i remember was my cousin coming in the room moving stuff around getting stuff, and when she left there was a huge mess on the bed where i was sleeping and then there was a little barbie closet next to me on the other side and i remember trying to get up and move it but i felt very weak and still asleep after i moved it into the chair i noticed that my phone was vibrating and it startled me, i thought it was my boyfriend and i was trying to find my phone quickly. after searching for it in the blanket one of my other cousins pointed out that it was on the desk. i had went back to sleep and my body felt stuck everytime i turned, i remember waking up again and i was talking to my cousin about my dream and about how i wasn’t able to move and when i wiped my hand across my face it got stuff and i was unable to move it like some sort of paralysis that’s when i got multiple notifications from instagram and it was a random person but i guess they knew me and they started spamming my phone with screenshots of our empty conversation and i tried asking “who is this” but the words wouldn’t come out correctly in the text and they would continue to send text regarding a loss and that they wanted know something about it and then continued to say “ i miss the rape i love is” something along those lines which freaked me out and i stopped texting back and actually ended up back in the bed and then i saw someone coming from the bathroom dragging his body like a snake when someone from the hall asked him what he was doing and he said while gazing at me “im admiring my girlfriend” and he started to drag his body even closer to me coming through the door that was slightly closed and then i got the urge to go to him so i slid off the bed and kissed him and while we were kissing i opened my eyes a little and i could see that he had bright yellow eyes peeking through and that’s when my cousin came in through the door and i finally woke up, in confusion.

I lay back and it’s like I teleported into another world. I’m going down a road, then suddenly I’m painting the picture I was just in. Slowly I’m smoothing out lines and covering small pieces as if to make the smoothest line. And everything is dark, I feel strange but it doesn’t settle in just yet that I’m actually asleep and that I feel off even in my dream. 
I walk to a friends, even though I don’t really ever see someone I actually know but I feel safe. He’s sitting on the floor holding a video game controller. I slide down to the floor I’m feeling defeated and tired like I did when I was awake except I even feel it in my sleep. But weirdly enough that strange off feeling is intensifying, I grab my friends hand, rest my head on his shoulder, place my phone in my lap face down. When he goes to start the game a surge sets off the screen goes blank but the tv is not completely off. It’s like an invisible bomb went off and that off feeling intensifies but what’s even weirder is i feel like im high and like im having a seizure except I’ve only read about these I can’t actually say I’ve ever had one. But I feel like I just got high and my brain is pulsating, not like a headache but I feel dizzy, almost like I’m high however I haven’t even smoked or taken anything that would make me feel this way, and when I try to say something I can’t. Then I tried to move and I can’t, I’m paralysed, terrified and I desperately want to ask for help but I can’t do an anything. But as soon as I get restless and wanted to be unstuck I wake up. I finally come to and realise I’m not dreaming anymore and my heart is pounding. And I’m just scared but I’m struggling to recall all of the dream. The last thought I remember having is how I miss being touched and how I want to be intimately touched again. Like I haven’t felt anything genuine in so long I’m craving that and sex.

The dream has moments of coherence, weaving between relatable experiences and bizarre occurrences, such as the invisible bomb and feelings of being high.

Teleportation and Paralysis

The dream carries a sense of defeat and longing, highlighted by the desire for intimacy amidst a strange and unsettling atmosphere.

The intensity is high, characterized by feelings of fear and helplessness, especially during the moments of paralysis and the overwhelming off feeling.

The dream features surreal elements like teleportation and paralysis, creating a disconnection from reality despite the familiar presence of a friend.

The dream is relatively vivid, with clear imagery of painting and the sensation of being held, though overshadowed by a sense of dread.

Chelsey, your dream presents a vivid tapestry of emotions and images that reflect deeper layers of your psyche. The experience of teleporting into another world signifies a desire for escape or perhaps a yearning for change in your life. It is as if you are seeking a break from the monotony or challenges you face in your waking hours. This transition into a new environment also hints at the exploration of your inner self – a journey that might be daunting yet necessary for personal growth. 

  As you begin to paint the picture you were just in, it suggests a need for control or mastery over your circumstances. You are smoothing out lines, which could symbolize your efforts to refine aspects of your life, relationships, or even your self-image. The darkness surrounding you signifies uncertainty or confusion that you may be grappling with. While initially, you feel strange, it is an indication that you are becoming aware of your internal struggles. This awareness is crucial as it sets the stage for deeper reflection on what might be troubling you.

  When you find yourself at a friend's place, despite not recognizing him, it represents a longing for connection and safety. This friend serves as a comfort, reflecting your desire for companionship amidst feelings of defeat and exhaustion. Your inclination to rest your head on his shoulder while feeling tired reveals a craving for intimacy and reassurance. The act of placing your phone face down symbolizes a conscious choice to disconnect from the outside world, perhaps indicating that you are seeking solace without distractions.

  The surge of energy when your friend attempts to start the game, coupled with the feeling of something akin to a seizure, unveils a deeper emotional response. This sensation may represent overwhelming stress or a fear of losing control in your life. The fact that you feel paralyzed and unable to express yourself unveils underlying anxieties, perhaps about your current circumstances or relationships. It portrays a struggle with voicing your needs and desires, which is compounded by feelings of being stuck, both in your dream and in reality.

  Finally, waking up with your heart pounding and the realization of craving genuine touch reflects a profound need for intimacy that may not be currently fulfilled in your life.

Dream About Paralysis And Intimacy

I returned to bed after my last dream and realized I had fallen asleep too quickly. Before I could do anything, I found myself stuck and paralyzed in the bed.

I woke up, but my eyelids were too heavy to stay awake, and before I knew it, I was back to that paralyzed state.

This repeated several times until I realized that I should just go to bed instead of trying to wake up. Instead of doing that, I focused on creating scary little creatures in my head. I wanted to see if I could make something to scare myself but to no avail.

I stopped fighting and closed my eyelids.

He put me on the ground sitting on my back and hitting me and shouting like a  small child. I was very surprised by his actions so he couldn’t do anything I was paralysed and then when he hates me enough, he left me alone there and gone. I didn’t know what should I do? What? What just happened and why so in between the other friend of mine who I helped them a lot, also they invited us for gathering and having food together. They just moved to the new place and wanted to decorate the new home was helping her to decorate and where it could be better but I still was in shock from the happening in between the other friend, wife of that man who has beat me up came as well, she was seems like didn’t know anything.

They were burning to put them in the fire and they were burning too at the fire and at the same time very deep I cried a lot until that wake me up I could sense my tears

While there were coherent elements, the dream had disjointed moments, especially with the sudden shifts in focus and emotions.

Raining Chaos and Unresolved Conflict

The dream carried a heavy emotional tone, reflecting feelings of betrayal and confusion amidst an intense conflict.

The intensity was high, especially during the moments of being attacked and the emotional turmoil that followed.

The dream felt quite real, particularly the vivid interactions and settings, such as the locked house and the rain.

Details such as the plastic gun, the rain, and the confrontation with the friend's husband made the dream highly vivid.

Mina, your dream presents a vivid tapestry of emotions, relationships, and unresolved conflicts. It begins with a sense of playfulness, as you engage in a game with friends, suggesting a longing for lightheartedness amidst the complexities of your current life. The plastic gun and water symbolize a playful confrontation, perhaps reflecting your desire to navigate through challenges without significant harm. Yet, the shift from play to arrest signifies a sudden and jarring disruption in your emotional state, hinting at feelings of helplessness or being overwhelmed by circumstances beyond your control.

  As the dream progresses, the encounter with someone who needs you brings forth a feeling of obligation, yet it quickly turns dark when you find yourself locked in a house, facing aggression from a friend’s husband. This confrontation embodies feelings of betrayal and confusion, especially considering your past experiences with relationships. Being targeted by someone unexpected can echo your inner fears about trust and vulnerability, particularly in your social circles. The fact that this person is someone you once respected complicates the emotional landscape, showcasing how relationships can turn unexpectedly sour, leaving you feeling paralyzed and trapped.

  Your shock at the assault indicates a profound emotional response to the violation of trust. The metaphorical paralysis you experience during this moment may suggest a struggle with asserting your voice or standing up for yourself in real life. The subsequent gathering with friends, where you attempt to help and support another, creates a poignant contrast to your feelings of shock and betrayal. It illustrates a complicated interplay between your desires to be supportive and the weight of your own emotional turmoil, leaving you feeling heavy-hearted and unable to engage fully with those around you.

  When you confront your friend about her husband's actions, it highlights your need for honesty and openness in relationships. Your frustration with the superficiality you perceive in her demeanor points to a yearning for authenticity in your connections. The act of shouting reveals a breaking point, a moment where you can no longer contain the weight of your emotions. It serves as a cathartic release, yet it also underscores your isolation in dealing with these feelings, as others around you seem oblivious to the pain you carry.

  The imagery of burning the number of the person who harmed you can symbolize a powerful act of letting go or seeking closure. Fire often represents transformation and purification, suggesting a desire to rid yourself of toxic relationships or memories that weigh heavily on your heart. The tears you shed, which awaken you, signify an emotional release, perhaps indicating that you are processing deep-seated grief or unresolved trauma. This dream encapsulates your struggles with trust, vulnerability, and the complexities of your emotional landscape, urging you to confront these feelings and navigate through the pain towards healing.

Dream About Being Beaten And Betrayed

I was in a nice hotel room and laying in my bed with another man laying next to me and I saw a rat across the room climbing curtains on the wall.. I was paralyzed just watching the rat climbing just hoping it wasn’t coming near me. There were other couple in another bed closer to the curtains and I was trying to wake them up but I couldn’t wake them up.. next thing I knew there was a rat eating ramen noodles next to my bed and I started hitting it to make it go away but it wasn’t leaving and I woke up the man laying next to me and I got out of bed to realize that the whole room was infested.. I saw them coming out of holes and I tried sealing them out but the rats were in the door and pushed it open and broke the bottom of the door and there was a cat next to me seating at them but after I screamed I woke up!

The dream was moderately coherent, with a clear sequence of events despite some fragmented elements.

Rat Infestation in Hotel Room

The dream had a strong emotional tone of fear and helplessness, especially when the rats invaded the room.

The intensity was high, especially when the rats started coming out of holes and breaking the door.

The dream had a somewhat realistic feel given the detailed environment of the hotel room.

The vividness was notable with clear images of the rats, the hotel room, and the people around.

Kerri, your dream presents a vivid scenario filled with symbolism and underlying emotions. Starting with the setting, a nice hotel room generally signifies a temporary state or transition in your life. Laying in bed with another man could indicate a desire for companionship or unresolved feelings about a past or potential relationship. The rat climbing the curtains represents an intrusive element disrupting your peace; it might symbolize anxiety or an issue you are trying to ignore but cannot avoid.

  When you are paralyzed, watching the rat, it suggests a feeling of helplessness, perhaps in dealing with some aspect of your waking life. Trying to wake up the other couple in the bed closer to the curtains, but being unable to, signifies feelings of isolation or frustration in seeking help or understanding from others. The rat eating ramen noodles next to your bed and your attempts to hit it away without success reflect your struggle to eliminate a problem that persists despite your efforts.

  The revelation that the whole room is infested with rats portrays an overwhelming situation where problems seem to multiply uncontrollably. Your action of trying to seal the holes indicates a proactive attempt to manage or contain these issues, but the rats pushing open the door and breaking the bottom symbolizes a breach of boundaries and the persistence of these challenges. The cat next to you, which is usually a symbol of independence and protection, being ineffective in this scenario, suggests that even your usual coping mechanisms or sources of comfort are failing to provide relief.

Dream About Rat Infested Hotel Room

I was laying on a bed I didn’t recognize, in a really nice room, that looked expensive, I felt great. I was drinking and laughing, having the time of my life. I was with someone, I knew I was, but I was watching from another POV and I couldn’t see who I was with. The dream shifts and I am seeing from my eyes POV, my head started to feel fuzzy and my body got heavy like I was being weighed down. I was flat on my back, the only thing I could move was my eyes. Then I saw this dark shadow figure lingering over me. I watched as it reached out its hand and started to touch me, feeling my boobs, my stomach, down to my vagina, and slowly sticking its fingers inside of me. I couldn’t move or speak, but I could feel everything happening. It put itself inside of me and made me cum. I was scared, but I actually enjoyed it after it was over.

The dream had a moderate level of coherence, with a noticeable shift from one scene to another.

Unfamiliar Bed and Shadow Figure

The dream began with feelings of joy and relaxation but shifted to a mix of fear and unexpected pleasure.

The intensity was high, particularly during the encounter with the shadow figure.

The dream felt quite realistic, especially the sensations and the environment of the room.

The dream was fairly vivid, with clear details of the room and the sensations experienced.

Jerica, your dream starts in an environment that epitomizes luxury and happiness, indicating a deep-seated aspiration for comfort and perhaps a significant upgrade in your current life situation. The presence of an unseen companion during this joyful time points to an important relationship that brings you happiness, but the inability to see this person suggests some ambiguity or lack of understanding about this connection.

  As the dream transitions to a perspective where you experience physical heaviness and an inability to move, it symbolizes a shift from a state of happiness to one of vulnerability and helplessness. This could be reflecting anxieties in your waking life where you feel overwhelmed or out of control. The paralysis you experience while being fully aware of your surroundings amplifies this sense of powerlessness.

  The dark shadow figure that appears and begins to touch you represents an unknown or perhaps repressed part of your psyche. The act of the shadow whispering to you, saying things like "good girl" and expressing a possessive desire, adds layers to this interpretation. This dialogue from the shadow indicates a complex interplay between fear and desire, repulsion and flattery, suggesting a conflict within yourself about control, intimacy, and possibly past experiences.

  Your mixed feelings of anxiety and excitement, alongside the physical pleasure you derive despite the fear, point to a deep-seated struggle with boundaries and control in your personal relationships. The shadow's actions and your subsequent enjoyment despite the initial fright imply that there might be aspects of your unconscious desires that you are grappling with, perhaps related to a craving for validation or a fear of being overwhelmed by intense emotions.

  This duality of feeling both repulsed and flattered, scared but exhilarated, speaks to a complex internal battle where you're trying to reconcile your conscious fears with your unconscious desires. This dream is urging you to explore these conflicting emotions and understand how they play out in your waking life, particularly in the realm of personal boundaries and intimate relationships.

Dream About Dark Shadow Figure Visiting

Ghosts following me everywhere. And not nice ones. I wake up, start petting Bolt to try and convince myself it's only a dream, and I see this shadowy figure leaning on my bed, swaying back and forth as if to say, "nanny nanny boo boo, I didn't go away..." I about screamed but I felt paralyzed... Of course it went away when I got up out of bed.

The dream had moderate coherence with a clear narrative of being followed by ghosts and encountering a shadowy figure.

Haunted by Ghosts

The dream felt very frightening and anxiety-inducing with an overwhelming sense of dread.

The intensity was high due to the constant presence of menacing ghosts and the terrifying shadowy figure.

The dream felt somewhat realistic, especially the feeling of paralysis and the shadowy figure.

The dream was fairly vivid, particularly the image of the shadowy figure swaying beside the bed.

Alikat, your dream about ghosts following you everywhere, particularly not nice ones, is quite telling. Ghosts in dreams often represent unresolved issues or lingering feelings from the past. Given your profile, these ghosts could symbolize past traumas or unresolved emotional conflicts that continue to haunt you, despite your efforts to move on. The fact that these ghosts are not nice suggests that these issues are particularly distressing and may be causing significant anxiety or discomfort in your waking life.

  When you mention waking up and petting Bolt to reassure yourself, it indicates a need for comfort and grounding in reality. Bolt, presumably a pet, serves as a source of emotional support and stability for you. This action reflects your proactive approach in dealing with anxiety by seeking immediate comfort. However, the appearance of the shadowy figure leaning on your bed, swaying back and forth, signifies a persistent feeling of being haunted by these unresolved issues. The figure's taunting gesture, as if to say, 'nanny nanny boo boo, I didn't go away,' highlights a sense of frustration and helplessness you might feel towards these recurring problems.

  Your reaction of feeling paralyzed and almost screaming, but being unable to, indicates a strong sense of fear and powerlessness. This paralysis can be linked to feelings of being stuck or unable to escape from certain aspects of your past or current struggles.

Ghosts

Dream About Ghosts Following Me

I was laying on my bed, the room was black. But out of the darkness I could see two hands holding a painting I did of my feelings that I have hanging on my wall to me. I wanted to reach out and grab it, but I couldn’t move when I tried too.

The coherence was average, as the dream had a clear focal point but felt somewhat disjointed.

Hands in the Darkness

The dream felt intense and slightly ominous due to the dark room and inability to move.

The intensity was high, particularly due to the strong emotions evoked by the hands and the painting.

The realism was moderate; the setting was familiar but the situation was surreal.

The vividness was decent, with clear details of the hands and the painting.

Jerica, your dream is quite telling and laden with profound symbolism. Laying on your bed in the darkness suggests a state of introspection or perhaps a feeling of being engulfed by unknowns or uncertainties in your life. The room being black can symbolize the subconscious mind, a space where hidden fears, desires, or unresolved issues reside. However, the presence of two hands holding a painting you did of your feelings indicates a deep connection to your emotions and inner self. This painting, being an expression of your feelings, suggests that you are trying to communicate or come to terms with your emotions. The fact that it's hanging on your wall implies that these feelings are something you acknowledge and have placed in a visible spot in your life, perhaps something you think about often.

  The two hands holding the painting towards you can symbolize an external force or even an aspect of yourself trying to make you confront or accept these emotions. The hands can be seen as a form of assistance, guiding you towards self-awareness and understanding. This action suggests that there is a part of you that is ready to face these feelings head-on. However, your inability to move, despite wanting to reach out and grab the painting, indicates a sense of paralysis or fear. This could be related to a current situation in your life where you feel emotionally stuck or unable to take action, despite knowing what you need to do or what you feel.

I tried to sit up and I couldn't. My ex gave me the amount of time.

The dream had a coherent storyline, but the feeling of helplessness added some disarray to the coherence.

Disarray at Home

Feeling of fear and panic, as the same man from a previous dream approached me in a disarrayed home.

The feeling of being unable to move and waking up screaming created a high level of intensity.

I had a dream about my ex-crush sending me pornographic videos and as I tried to wake up, I was paralyzed as I seen myself move closer to a firey gate with glowing red-eyed goblins to wake up.

The dream had a somewhat fragmented structure, with the sudden shift from the ex-crush sending pornographic videos to being paralyzed and approaching the fiery gate, creating a disjointed narrative.

Dream about ex-crush and fiery gate

The dream evoked a mix of emotions including surprise, discomfort, and fear as well as a sense of urgency to escape the situation.

The dream was highly intense, with a sense of urgency and a feeling of being trapped or unable to escape the situation.

The dream felt somewhat realistic due to the vivid imagery and the familiar presence of the ex-crush, but the presence of goblins and the fiery gate added an unrealistic element.

The dream was highly vivid, with detailed imagery of the pornographic videos, the fiery gate, and the red-eyed goblins, creating a strong visual impact.

The dream had a sense of coherence, but also some fragmented and disjointed elements, especially with the sudden movement of the figures on the wall.

Vivid Dream of Shadows and Figures

The dream felt intense and frightening, with a sense of impending danger and helplessness.

The intensity of the dream was overwhelming, with a strong emotional and physical impact.

The dream felt very real, as if I was actually in my bed and experiencing the events unfold around me.

The dream was incredibly vivid, with clear and detailed visuals that felt almost tangible.
