Dream

I had a dream where I was being taught by a famous doctor about how to become a doctor myself. There was a boy there that was in a wheel chair and no one took him seriously because they thought he wouldn’t be fast enough. Then there were these other guys that just interrupted our class and said that we all were coming with him and if we don’t there’ll be bad consequences. They brought us to a small hospital in a small town where there was barely any people in. There was a really rich guy who was sick and no one at all could figure out what was wrong with him at all. Our doctor teacher told us we needed to give him some ideas on what it could be. But then two crazy people came out of nowhere, one that could run really fast like the flash, and the other who was strong and can fly like superman. Everyone else in the class was running around crazy while I and the boy in the wheelchair helped our teacher look for what made him so sick and then I figured it out and gave it to our teacher, he was very greatful and said I was his favourite. We super duper put some stuff in the rich guys body and started running away from the super evil guys that were trying to stop us from saving the rich guy. We found some bikes and all of us tried to get on them together but some of us just had to run. The boy in the wheelchair couldn’t run like we were because of the mud on the ground cause it just stopped raining. I ended up falling of the bike because I had troubles holding on properly, the boy in the wheelchair saved me in the nick of time before the evil superman got me, I don’t know how he got me so fast and it was still muddy I thought he couldn’t go through it. He said to me that he found some better wheels that had more grip on them and wanted to catch up on us to be with us. I said thanks for saving me and he kinda blushed and said no problem. So I went to hop off and start running again to catch up with everyone but he said to stay on his lap and he could get us there, but I was worried I’d be too heavy for him to go fast with his wheelchair. He said that I wasn’t bothering him and he said he had strong arm muscles, winked at me and started to move again. When we caught up our teacher was so relieved that I was ok and that he was worrying about me. To me he felt like a father figure. After managing to get out of the town and losing the evil guys the mini hospital called our teacher and said thank u for saving his life we got rid of the weird ones and put them in a cell that they can never get out of. I told my friends what the boy in the wheelchair did for me and I think that I kind of have a crush on him now. Everyone was surprised how he managed to get here with us and apologized for laughing at him in the classroom. The righ guy told his team to come pick us up and bring us home.

Dream

I had a dream I was I. High school and I was trying to befriend a girl and she was acting weird with me like she didn’t like me. I was waiting at a store to finish getting my Polaroid printed out but the cops had to cop and it was a whole thing. We later met up and she was was talking to her gf they made me feel left out like they weren’t including me in their convo. Then I told them if they weren’t interested in being friends with me to let me know so I could not try anymore. Then more girls came and started trying to intimidate me saying no one wants to be friends with you because of you telling that girl you wish she would die and I said I apologized profusely and she got me so angry that those were the words I chose. They didn’t care so I tried running from them throughout the high school. I escaped from them and lost them and fled the property and got away from them. I also ate some oranges and was with another friend we went to McDonald’s to get my French fries that they forgot to place in to the bag from the other McDonald’s I had the receipt so the worker gave them to me. Then I saw my boss at a school and he was explaining how none liked him so he could relate to how I was feeling. And I saw a train and fire in my dream also on the tracks.

Mall

Dream

It was school break time. We were on a learning journey. Me and my friend Angelique were at a mall near the school. If I’m right it felt and looked like break time. We bought bungeoppang and We were hanging out, When we saw hyunjin. It felt like he was someone I knew so I think he was somehow related to me like my cousin's brother. He was an idol of a group called Stray Kids. We saw him and wanted to say hi. But since he was an idol he wasn’t allowed to meet us. We followed hyunjin and saw he was queuing up at a bubble tea shop. We then decided to chase him. He saw us and looked shocked. I yelled at his name. Hyunjin-ah! He immediately ran away because he was famous and he couldn’t get attention. We tried to run after him but he was too fast and went into the MRT or subway. Then we gave up and walked back. While walking back we saw I.N. who was also a member of Stray Kids and my cousin's brother walking. We chased him as well. He was equally as scared and ran into the subway as well. I’m guessing that mall is jewel because it’s right outside the airport. After that Angelique and I decided to get back to class. Our field trip classroom was an air-conditioned room and it was cozy. We had to sit and the floor there were tables but we had to sit outside them. I was seated at the back so I could do whatever I wanted. Angelique was across me so we couldn’t talk. When we all arrived she said. “Class I think ur classmates have scared some people.” I immediately knew it was me and Angelique. But for some reason only I got scolded. “She scolded me very very harshly. She asked me to stand up and embarrassed me in front of the whole class. After an hour of scolding me, she asked me to sit down. I felt so guilty and sat at the very back which was my seat. Then suddenly someone opened the door. It was hyunjin and I.N…. Since I was at the back I could easily access the table and immediately moved and sat under the table once I saw their face. I was so scared they were going to scold me. Since they are my cousin's brothers. Hyunjin and I were understanding and they knew it was just a joke and they understood why I did what I did. Hyunjin smiled while walking in. He was wearing Nike shoes. he stuck and touched me with his foot under the table. He smirked, we were always like enemies but caring when we needed to be. I was so guilty embareasedand sad. Why did I do that to Hyunjin and I.N? Am I that stupid? Hyunjin and I.N. stood there but since I was under the table I could only see their legs. The teacher continued to scold me for another hour. I felt more upset as the class stared at me. Hyunjin and I.n were smirking the entire time because they knew I deserved it after what I did but they thought the scolding was a bit too much. Then the teacher said “Okay we will give you some time alone.” everyone left except Hyunjin and I.N. I was still under the table. I was so scared I started to tear up. I didn't dare to come out. Hyunjin and I.N. just stood there waiting for me to get out. Hyunjin said “Come out now.” with a stern and determined voice. Not angry just a voice to make an emphasis. I refused to come out. They said it one more time. I had no choice but to come out. Once I came out I started crying. “I'm really sorry oppa…” I said scared, fearful, and upset. They told me annoyed “It's fine dw”. hyunjin asked I.n to go outside because I.N. was younger than him and he could handle the situation better. Only me and hyunjin were left in the room. Hyunjin said “I said stop crying! Why are you still crying?” Hyunjin is not really the type to comfort people. He likes to scare them so they stop crying. But he came to me and rubbed my back. He wiped away my tears. He said “I told u it's fine. Don't worry! I'm not angry at you. I understand why you did that and honestly I don't mind it. You helped me work out, haha. That teacher scolded everyone harshly.” While scolding me the teacher pushed me down so I got a cut on my leg Hyunjin asked me what it was. I told him it was a cut. He put a bandage on the cut and told me it was okay. I went out and met I.N. He crouched down and told me “It's okay!” and pinched my cheek. After that, I became a bit happier and we all went home.

Dream

Dreamt there was this horror movie called “The Chain” that became real life where science became advanced to the point scientists learned that life just reincarnates the moment you die and that some people weren’t reincarnating on earth but were going to go to reincarnate as god like beings in another galaxy. Some groups that were stuck reincarnating here on earth for a while bc of their sins figured this information out and found a way to infect the world with a virus that kept even the people that should be finishing their reincarnation here on earth from leaving. So all the infected people were like these evil zombie things going around trying to infect and brutally murder other innocent people to force them to reincarnate backwards from where they should be. The sun in the world stopped shining and a fog covered the earth stuck in a endless cycle of evil reincarnations. Life became a real life horror movie. I watched in kind of from afar as this group of people hunted another group of innocent people in a trailer like apartment. I kind of kept going in and out of being one of the characters being hunted and watching from afar. In the end, I just started running away and this evil zombie character was chasing after me and I could feel my spirit being born as an embryo in the next reincarnation as they tried to hurt me.

Dream

I had a dream that at my church there were people and women who looked like nuns started a cult. It wasn’t obvious and the pasted of the church didn’t know about this cult. But they were still secretly operating within the church. They were enslaving people and threatening those who knew about them but tried to leave. My sister and I found out about it and a bunch of members from the cult were chasing us to harm or enslave us. The police were also involved except they were on the cults side and were in on it. My sister and I were running through the church with a crowd of cult members after us. We found a narrow escape out a door and the cops couldn’t get into the courtyard after they were planning an ambush but the door was locked for them. We took this chance to run for our lives but before escaping we did our best to try to free some slaves from the cult. There was an underground cage that had a hatch on the outside. We opened it to find a lot of people. I told them to come with us and run. Some did, but most stayed because they had no hope that they could actually escape and didn’t want to suffer the potential punishment of being caught after an escape attempt. So because time was running out we ran to escape. I felt way out of my depth but then I recognized the old man who was running with me. He was giving me advice and protection and he seemed spirited like we could actually escape. When he was there I felt more confident that we had a chance. We were in the city running and I killed some cult members in the process. Then we reached a part of the city that none of the cult members would go because it was too far from the church. They only stayed in their own zone. Then my sister and I found refuge in a theater and started plotting how we can take down this cult we met my mother there and she asked us what happened and we explained and I told her I killed people.
