🧭 Direction

Daily events

Don't allow yourself to be filled with regret and shame from your past; it will cloud your mind and cause you to miss the truth. Instead, detect the valuable insights from this past that will help you prepare for the future. Criticizing yourself will not help; learning from your mistakes with grace will lead to peace and confidence. Do not repeat the mistakes of the past.

❤️ Feelings

The dream about the past may evoke feelings of nostalgia, reflection, or even regret. It can bring up emotions associated with longing for a simpler time or a desire to revisit certain memories. This dream may also elicit a sense of melancholy or wistfulness as it reminds us of moments that have passed and cannot be relived. Additionally, it might stir up unresolved emotions or unresolved issues from the past, leading to a mix of emotions such as sadness, happiness, or even confusion. Overall, the dream about the past can elicit a range of complex and sometimes bittersweet feelings.

Spirit

Dream

I was a spirit and was told that I have to remove and replace my old, ancient, never used, dusty, China cabinet because it's taking up too much space. I was told this about many items, otherwise I would become a lost spirit. I was enraged and bawling the whole time. Even though those items didn't get a lot of attention, they still held meaning to me, and showed me how far I had come. To replace or remove them feels like removing my progress, but I did it anyway because I didn't want to become lost. Each item removed caused a great deal of emotional and mental stress. I would remember moments of my life that had that item in there, but then also when it was last used and left to dust. I would outcry and scream and bawl at the top of my lungs at each item, and wonder why I was subjected to this torture. I awoke in tears.

Dream

I am on top of this mountain that looks down on the hole of all the water city and the region surrounding it; basically the west Kanagawa region I am looking down at this magnificent scape with the river crossing in the middle of it from the ski jump stage/scaffold, the ski jump start-point arch, there’s an arch above my head Scene goes back to the time when I’m preparing for this thing(putting my gears on and such) with the help of my family(mother and younger brother) at the apartment room that we used to live in in Hakone There’s also Calcharo, the stoic, intimidating merc with flexible morality, the long straight white hair and the scars all over his hody from the game Wuthering Waves There’s also the girl that made me leave some of the past I had *to* her before I could move forward We have conversations while I get prepared, the environment is soemwhat cozy Scene changes, now I’m climbing up the slope of Shiroyama to my elementary school that I went to through 1-2nd grade before I went to Singapore Lush deep forest greens, rusted football ground frames, overall a bit ruin-ish but the kids are still around and the building itself very much indeed seem to have people in it What’s different about this version of Shiroyama Elementary School is that they have a parking lot, beneath he elevated first floor of the building I go in

Past
Bed

Dream

It was a nightmare. I was stuck in my bed, watching shadows move all around. I couldn't move and they were torturing me with my past memories. I kept seeing distorted faces them staring at me. My past friends, family even, they were so distorted. I finally mustered somehow to move or appear next to my couch, where my mother was sleeping. I held her tight and I was telling her how scared I was. How I was sorry for everything and how this is really disappointing and stupid from me. I eventually saw the shadow person, she was, taking and breaking things around my house. but when I told my mother nothing was happening. She eventually took me to her bedroom where I proceeded to watch that shadow woman continue to do so. until my mother told me "maybe you should go to bed earlier, and you are overreacting" I screaming "go, go away" for what felt like forever until I finally woke up the same position I was in from my dream.

Dream

I was in a dream where futuristic military people were rushing all around me, and someone saw me and there was a person next to them that looked like me, and they were talking about how she wanted to switch lives with me, and after they were finished talking, the person that wasn’t me had a balloon in her hand, and start slowly approaching me, making eye contact the whole time and I got scared, and because I got scared she said, “then you know what I am!” And she started chasing after me and I had to run across water on steppingstones and jump over obstacles that weren’t visible, but I knew were there and jump over a hole in the ground that was pure fire and I tried to climb onto a building, and as I was reaching the top, the girl caught up to me and bit my hand, and I could kind of feel pain, but hardly and she said that because I couldn’t feel pain that I was from the future and the version of me she was talking to, before chasing me, was the past me, and that nothing can be changed, and that we wouldn’t switch lives. And then I woke up.

Ex
Past

Dream

I’ve been dreaming about my past ex boyfriend recently and the dream is based on my point of view right now interacting with the past version of him/ the him I assume he would act like now. There not all consuming or scary traumatic like they would be in the past, but something about these dreams he’s been so real in them, unlike before it felt as though it was past memories we’ve had together being shown in the dream. These new ones, it’s a whole different story playing out but the environment we are in is similar to my past memories with him. For context, he’s my first ex and we dated for 6 tumultuous years that ended back in 2019 with him almost beating me to death. I was hospitalized and had to go back to the same apartment once I got out. It’s the apartment I dream of the most when it comes to him. but the dream is all over the place it’s really more the feeling when I’m there. I feel like how I used to but it’s the present me experiencing it again and it’s giving me anxiety and confusion . He’s always doing something disrespectful to me and I’m always trying to figure out what’s going on and why.
