Dream

This dream I had when I was about 10 years old. (4 Years ago) But I still vividly remember all the details. It started with me wandering this street. The buildings felt like tall, cement blocks with doors. The night darkened the mood. The yellow streaks lining the walls illuminated. For a segment of the dream, it is a bit fuzzy. Then, the next thing I see is my old bedroom surrounding me. It wasn't the entire house, only the bedroom. I was practically stuck to the bed and in a panic. My first instinct was to escape. So after 5 minutes (estimate), I bolt out of the room and find the front door of my old house. But when I walk out, it's the same outside as before. The cement world. I run and run and run down the way until a car-garage-looking building catches my eye. I turn into there, hoping to hide from whatever brought me to my old house. I go inside and find a friend from my elementary school. She was the sweetest girl ever, and I cared about her a lot. Now that I think about her, I believe she had a crush on me at the time. I tell her that I was running from whatever it was, and she offers me water from the sink. Nothing else significant happens before I see a car searching for me. I once again try to run away. I try to escape this lady. But she catches me and forces me into her van. She says, "I told you couldn't run away. Do not try again." And she swiftly drives me back to my old bedroom. For the next couple segments, I'm stuck lying in bed for a while. At one point, I'm on my tablet watching one of my favourite YouTubers. And then one of the most significant moments in the dream, the lady who had kidnapped me pulled me to the edge of the bed. Her long fingers trace a line just above my knee. She watches my expression carefully. "Once this is all over, I'll cut your leg off right here. Does that sound good?" She threatens. After that, there is a big blur. Then the final scene I see before I wake up is me and the lady scavenging through a janitor's closet. She says something along the lines of "You're dad has a secret." And when I ask her what she means, the dream is cut short.

Dream

I don’t remember the beginning but I remember being with zolisha which was strange because im not fond of her. there was a third person with us but I can’t remember the face either. We were walking into a building together and there was a group of people I didn’t recongnize until the last glimpse I saw my ex in this mixed group of random men. I saw someone go up to her and basically insinuates that they want to fight. I turn to yell down the hall of the building to zolisha and the other person, they start running out when a guy looked at me and said he was gonna slam me. His friends were questioning whether I was a boy or not and he slammed me anyways. I feel like the time skipped after this and we all ended up at a table talking. And we’re talking about why I was with zolisha and I hadn’t seen nyasia in so long. We started being playful and i woke up

Dream

I just had a dream where I was in this forest and it had something to do with like finding something. There were people I might have known but I don’t remember, so I wandered off and a lot of creepy stuff happened, but the most vivid thing I remember was the most recent. Me and I think my girlfriend found this house in the forest, walked in, and saw a bunch of Muslim people. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before but they had faces somehow, perfectly normal ones. And they died strings around our necks and threw pin needles at the balloons that were connected to the strings, then their heads exploded. These people were ready to accept it but after watching a few people die, I panicked and got up, running out the door in a panic, not wanting to be killed. But the guy who was next, as I left the little hut house, he said, “she still has the string around her neck, I’ll kill her.” And then I immediately pulled it off and took off running. They were so sure I couldn’t escape the forest anyway from what I heard. Then I saw this very small type of ‘person’ with no arms. There was some sort of tv where the news was saying a bunch of people died, for some reason in the forest. I watched some of it and then something about that same short guy was searching for his father who apparently died and then I helped him search. I don’t remember what happened before or after this part, but I know I was in the forest the entire time for some weird reason.

Dream

Some kind of natural disaster was happening and I’m in a house with some other people and all of a sudden people start busting in and they’re looking for me with guns. I’m hiding from them and one comes in through a door and I hid behind it and wrestled the gun from him. Then the dream skips to everyone evacuating where they’re at. I find myself running through the street with some people I know. There’s a girl that I’m friends with but can’t recognize in my dream but she’s frantic and crying and saying she wants her comic (or something) from the house, so I volunteer to go get it for her. Then I decide before I go to the house that I’ll go to the store and get some things like snacks and clothes to help us during the evacuation. I’m looking at so many things but don’t end up getting anything for some reason. I feel like I don’t know what I need and can’t tell if I should get a lot because I don’t know how long we’ll be there. I end up getting nothing and then decide to go to the house. I’m looking for this house in a lot of my dreams, I have an idea of the area it’s at in every dream, I can kind of see it on the map but I’m not sure. In every dream I can see the same neighborhood (or at least it feels that way) and in every dream it’s this same house with tons of doors and rooms with hidden doors with stairs to different levels and rooms sort of like a tall tall maze. This time I went to look for something in there but typically I go to this house to get to the top floor. I knew what house I was going to in this dream but I never made it there this time, I couldn’t find it. And then woke up.

Dream

So this nightmare seem to take place when I was in high school. It seemed I was with a boyfriend that I obviously didn’t know very well or didn’t feel very safe with and we stopped at his friend’s house and we all went inside. him and his friends went into a bedroom And I noticed what I’m assuming is his friends little sister was getting ready to leave. She asked her mom for some money and the keys to the car and I thought that was going to be my way out of there. as she’s getting into the car, she has a couple friends with her, and I just jump into the backseat, I say please take me home. I will give you $10 and she says OK no problem. We start to drive away and we’re in the car for a little while and I noticed that we’re not heading towards my house. she asks me for my wallet and I just tried to give her the $10 and she starts laughing at me, she grabs my wallet out of my hands and takes all the money out of it and throws the wallet back at me and it lands on the floor. I just grab it and put it back into my purse. I’m trying to tell them the directions to my house, but they’re not listening, they are young. They’re out to have a good time and it seems like they’re out to mess with me. They end up going to some kind of drive-through amusement park. I don’t know how to explain it. but as we drive up, they pay the lady in the booth with the money from my wallet for us to drive through this Amusement park. I’m getting nervous because they are drinking and they are doing drugs and I know that I somehow someway have to get out of this car. I’m making the decision that as we are exiting the amusement park I’ll jump out at the ticket booth and just ask that lady to use the phone to call my parents to come and get me, And that’s exactly what I do. I jump out of the car and the kids just keep on driving and laughing as they go. I asked the lady to use her phone and she lets me into the ticket booth, but the phone is like nothing I’ve ever used before and she’s trying to explain it to me, how to dial the rotary phone but there’s no actual numbers on it and I’m begging her to please just put in the number please. I just wanna call my parents to come get me and she starts laughing very sinisterly and I know once again that I’m in trouble. That she also does not want to see me get home safely. so there is another car pulling up to this amusement park to go through it and she looks at me and she says. oh my God, it’s my boss and he’s not a good man we’ve got to run so I start running with her into some kind of fielded wooded area and I am following pretty close by her but then she gets a lead on me. I can see her circle back towards the ticket booth and in front of me I see that there is a camp of homeless men Around a fire and I feel like that might be even more trouble because it’s in a scary wooded area where there’s no other people. so I circle around and follow the girl back to the ticket booth area, which is at least on the street, even though it’s in the bad side of town. However, instead of following her to the ticket booth, I start running towards the downtown area. The car that had pulled up to the ticket booth prior, before we had started running from It, had two men in it. There was one guy talking to the girl at the ticket booth, and the other guy had his eyes on me, the guy at the ticket booth yells to his friend no she ain’t worth it, Leave her alone and let her go. when I get to the downtown area. It is dead. All the businesses are closed and I am scared. I have no idea how I’m gonna get home and then I’ll wake up.

I had a dream where I fell asleep in the car and I woke up and my mom and brother left so I waited because I figured they be back to come get me, it looked like I was in the parking lot of an apartment complex and I started getting nervous because no one had came to get me, then the car started driving in its own and it turned out of the complex. I stayed calm because I was sure someone would help me and as the car was driving on the road really fast I was kind of leaning out the door screaming for help, then the car started running people over and there was a bunch of car crashes and fire and people were really injured and some were even on fire. I was finally able to get out of the car because I suddenly realized I could've just opened the door. Then I ran out to check on the people and I told them to let me go get my stuff and I'll come back to help them walk and so I went and got my stuff and I asked the people why they were by a car that was dangerous instead of running away and it was a couple I was talking to and they said it was because one just found out the other cheated and I agreed that that wasn't right and then I helped them go get help and woke up

I was in a mix of my granny and god moms house( the back of the house was grandmas and the front was my god moms). And I was laying down and sleeping with my ex, I turn around and there’s a stud rubbing on my waist so I turn around trying to see who it is. It’s this random girl she’s pretty but she’s weird( something was off about her). Sooner or later there was a loud boom that went off. We went outside and soon seen that everyone was outside looking at the sky and around. My grandmothers neighbor checked his phone and had told everyone he got a notification that more bombs were coming into the neighborhoods direction. Soon everyone seen the next heart shaped bomb drop and everyone ran. Me n my ex both ran into the house and he told me that we needed to get out of here. We both ran outside but then I told him we needed a car. But I was already in the middle of our backyard driveway and a bomb was coming down straight for me. I knew I couldn’t run to the door in time because I was tired. I had no choice I looked at my granny’s back door and then my ex. That’s when I woke up.

I was in a store with aparna and monisha. That store had dresses and jackets, it also had necklaces and statues. I had gone there to purchase gift for my friend sahitya. I liked one jacket. I asked them for a large size. That lady kept on saying "your size will be more",but I didn't care. I still put it on and it was perfectly fitting me. But I did not buy that. I looked for something related to harry potter and bts, but I didn't like anything there. Aparna and monisha were shouting at me for staying very long in the store. I did not give them any answer and just stepped out. I was in church street. With me was ninja Hattori, kenechi, shinzo, and shishimanu. I told them that, only me, kenichi run all alone and you guys have a companion to run with unlike us. I was in my room. I was pregnant and with aarav. The bump was seen. I told aarav that I want to be a doctor and started to cry. He was calm. He said that he will take care of me. He also wanted me to pursue my career. I told him that all this was too soon for me. All he said was yeah I know. I then told him that I don't want any of our relatives to interfere, all I want is you. He just smiled and he hugged me. I hugged him too and cried, while he was consoling me.
