Dream

Had a terribly nerve wrecking dream I just jumped up from. I’m not sure where I was for it but I was dressed cute. It was night time and the dream was long enough for it to turn night time. I was walking down a cobblestoned street and heard very close gun shots. I heard people screaming so I ducked to the left where there was a grey stone or brick looking wall but I saw whatever crowd of people running to follow behind where I was trying to hide and a woman was right behind me, screaming and trying to run but ran into the back of me. That’s when I jumped up from my dream. I’m trying to slow my heart rate right now and looking at my son is helping to calm my nerves.

Dream

My sister and I were alone for a few days in my hometown and we were staying at this hotel. We would go out everyday visting the mall, shopping, doing stuff around town together. It was very cold outside and I was constantly cold. I remember before going out i would put on alot of makeup and alot of accessories. Lots of necklaces and earrings and i dressed up in things that werent really my style in real life and i knew that but i was enjoying trying something new. I would constantly worry about my sister as she would always want to be independent and didnt want me constantly watching over her. She disappeared once and I had a panic atack. I ran outside to go look for her and waited in the bus station but it was too late, she had already taken the bus away. I started crying and then my parents showed up. They were worried but calm, somehow their words were comforting but were also subtly making me feel very guilty. The sky was grey and the air was frosty biting at my areas of exposed skin. The air smelled of pollution and had a sourness to it. I was extremely sad that my sister left and i knew it would be a long time until i saw her again. Eventually my family all split up. My dad and sister lived alone for the time being as my mom and i were away and i lived with my boyfriend Alex in the big city. We were going to same college. And old building with a strange comfort to it. It was also surrounded by birds and black cats. Alex and i were driving to the college one morning and i heard my phone ring and it was my mom. She was frantic. My sister had had a freak out and injured my dad and then comitted suicide by slitting her throat. Mentally i was teleported there for a few seconds and i could see what happened. My dad was sitting down in the living room with deep stab wounds in his arms and stomach. His head hung therr motionless, he was alive however unconscious. I started violently trembling as i walked down the hallway to my sister’s bedroom. There on the yellowish wall was a huge splatter of blood it went almost to the ceiling. She sat slumped against the wall, her head rested on her shoulder in an unatural way. Her open eyes still staring at me after death. The wound in her neck gaped open and blood still slowly oozed down the her shirt. The air had a sour metallic sting and the atmosphere was heavy and dizzying. I panicked and cried and screamed. There was no way i was going to accept that this just happened. I was horribly affected by what i had seen and i knew i would never recover. My dad was rushed to the hospital and my sister to the funeral home. I rememberd how much i had loved her and how i would have done anything for her to keep her alive. It felt like someone took a million knives and started twisting them around in my heart. I was never the same after that. Alex and I eventually ended up going to the college and there was this party going on there. We were starting to get to know people. It was hard at first and I felt alone even though surrounded by so many. The girls kept excluding me from their group and i started befriending the boys and the tomboy girls. It actually went well and we started hanging out. Alex was on the outside of all of this as he believed that everyone at school were peasonts and he didnt want to associate himself with a lower class. I hated his arrogance however i tried to ignore it for my own benefit. One guy offered me some drugs. He offered me molly and i knew i couldnt say no. In my waking life i have done molly before and i rememberd how beautiful and comfortable and euphoric it made me feel. I wanted something to wash away the pain so bad. As the molly started coming up i could feel waves of happiness and love just washing over me. With every wave it was like the horrible things i had seen were slwoly fading, wave by wave. Alex left, apparently he had something more important to do. I was scared what his reaction would be when he came back and saw me high but also i didnt care so much. I told myself that he never had to endure such horrible things in his life like i did. Somehow, and very suddenly i had a very intense flashback and it sent my spiraling. Suddenly i saw people for what they really were. Everyone there was a snake besides maybe one or two people. I went into one of the room and I told them im not feeling ok. One girl told me she’ll go get me some water but when he tried to open the door, there was a wall behind the door, when i tried to open the window, there was nothing but wall there. Suddenly claustrophbia and paranoia started setting in. I remembered very vividly the scene with my sister and my head started spinning. Again i started screaming that it did not happen. I grabbed a random knife that was sitting on yhr table and started cutting myself. My high had turned into a maddening delusion and i wanted to rip myself out of my own skin. Voices and colors were distorted and it felt like i was in hell. The modern art designs and pictures and statues that lined the corridors suddenly were speaking to me all at once in a deafening conglomerate of madness. I passed out eventually and alex came back. I was sober now, and i told him im not doing ok but i didnt tell him about the molly as to not cause an arguement. He asked me why and i told him that mentally im very damaged by what i saw. He just stared at me coldly and shrugged. He said he has more important stuff to do and told me to go home. He then left. I felt really lonely and I tried reaching out to old friends. I really needed someone to stick with me during this time. I spoke to my cousin and we agreed to see each other in the city. We had old fights in the past but now we were mostly over them. As i was getting out of the subway station the exit was extremely narrow and claustrophobic. I noticed other people struggling to get through but they didnt complain as if it was completely normal. I got angry. I had had to deal with crap like this for so long and no one seemed to care. As i was coming out the exit i got enraged and i started pounding in it out of frustration. It ended up breaking and i was so confused because i thought it was concrete. It was actually cardboard that looked like concrete. I felt relieved and i did not feel bad at all for breaking it. Then a security gaurd came to me and started berating me in front of everyone for breaking the exit/entrance to the subway station. I didnt care that he was mad. I didnt care at all about breaking anything until my cousin came and said that I was embarassing. She said i should have just tried my best to squeeze through that exit and not break anything. She said i should pay back for repairs and to be more self aware next time. I was really embarassed and i regreted breaking it now. We then ate a fastfood together and even though i was a little mad at her we ended up having a good time. Afterwards, we went back to the college and this time i invited her to come as well. There was this party going on and there were lots of people there. Big flashing colorful lights and disco music filled the atmosphere. There was of course drugs and drinking and people fucking in the extra rooms. At this party there was this man that was trying to induce us all in a hypnotic state. Amnesiec almost. His voice guided us as we slowly lost control over our consciousness and our subconscious took control. Everyone there was seeing what they wanted to see, blissful hallucinations dreamlike trances. Everything was ethereal and extraordinary. As i was looking around i saw this girl. She was beautiful and she told me to follow her. She led me farther from the main group of people, and in that moment of pure euphoria like no drug can induce she looked at me in the eyes and we started making out. It was beautiful. We were intertwined and it felt like we had a connection beyond just our physical bodies. Her soul felt magical and gorgeous. Her hair was dark, long and flowy and she had whisps of silver and gold in it. Her lips were soft and comforting. I felt something when i kissed her that i never felt before. Suddenly i felt a hand grab me away from her. I looked and it was my dad. I felt so happy to see him but also confused as to what he was doing there and why he pulled me away from that girl. He told me to look again at the person i was just making out with. It was a boy. A random ugly boy from school that i wouldnt kiss for 100 dollars. I was horrified. I was so entranced that i couldn’t see who i was really kissing. Everything was in my head. I was terrified because i knew the trouble i would be in with alex. Alex usually didnt have a probelm with me kissing girls but of course he had a problem with me kissing boys. I would have never kissed that girl if i knew she was a boy. But i knew he would never believe me. I hated that at one point we were going to have this conversation and he would question my loyalty. Deep down however i knew that i was not guilty because i know what i saw and who i thought i was kissing. I was even more paranoid that people took pictures or filmed the whole thing and were going to send it to alex. That caused me to panic but my dad was there for me and tried to calm me down. He took me in his car and said he wanted to show me something. I noticed him. He was pale and skinny, still addicted to his drugs. Even though he seemed to look worse it also seemed that something in him chnaged after my sister took her life. He seemed to have found himself but in a twisted way. He took me and my mom in the car and we drove up this mountain. It felt so strange to be just us now. Life felt vacant without my sister. At the top of the mountain there was this cabin. Inside was this asian man. He was gentle and had kind eyes. He was a sculptor. He made statues but also little candles in all sorts of styles. He made decor and soap and even some perfume. The cabin smelled clean and fresh and modern. There was something so peaceful about that place.

Dream

I was anxious and scared. My dream followed the path of many men who where in a cult. They summoned demons and worshiped the power of demonic. They used a particular house as thier demon home. A regular guy lived in the house for a long time. His family lived there too. They demon began marking each of the cult to be hunted. Each time the demon marked a person that became me. First I was being pulled and choked my throat was dry and swollen and I couldn't breath. I was crying out and it was extremely scary and painful in the dream. I was listening to the demon tell me the entire story and it was terrifying. I was trying to get rid of the demon. I couldn't lose it it chased me all over and had command of each of the people of the cult to attack me. I tried running to the neighbors house for help or comfort. I ran up to the neighbors steps infront of his house. I was screaming and yelling for help in the dead of night. The demon was lurking about. Suddenly the door swung open. The man who was tall and skinny, had skull face paint on. As soon as he opened the door to meet me I cried out for help and began clinging to him which made us fall off the steps and onto the floor. I was on my back and could see the face paint. He had a smile as I just quietly clung to his chest for comfort. He had a smile but it turned cold and I could see the demon was him. He held me down and I started to whimper and cry out but I couldn't muster up any words. He was cutting my stomach open I couldn't get up but he kept cutting and stabbing me and I was crying out and the noises I was making woke me up. When I woke up I was holding my stomach I felt like the dream was real it was so vivid and I couldn't move at first when I woke up. I was on my back holding my stomach not able to move for just a moment.

Dream

I had a dream that I was in school and my classmates had told me to go and do a task and the task required me to climb on top of I would say about 10 or 15 feet high ladder to reach something and he had told me the task I was on the phone with someone else and when he told me the task I didn't hear him initially because I was already on the phone he confronted me accusing me of ignoring him and pretty much trying to avoid doing the task so I went to go and try to do the task and when I tried to climb up all the chairs I ended up being too short and I told him I was too short to do the task and that I apologize for having not heard what he said but I was unable to complete the task anyways and then I left out of the school and when I came back into the school he had gathered a bunch of my classmates and told them that I basically ignored him in order to escape doing the task and I was very upset and hurt by this and I was crying and I told him that he was being dishonest and left out the part where I apologized for having not heard him in the first place and that I was on the phone with someone else when he told me to do the task and that I ended up not being able to complete the task due to not being able to reach high enough on the ladder over the chairs and he started to run away and then all of a sudden he ran into this room and I was confronting him and he climbed out of the window and jumped from the 12th story building and killed himself and I was in complete and utter shock and disbelief and I was still trying to process what I had seen so I left and pretended that I didn't see it and I stayed into the common area where everybody else was and then all of a sudden people started screaming because they discovered his body and I ran outside to go see his body and it was completely unrecognizable and mangled and right when my little sister was about to run outside to go look at the body I was screaming at her to stay inside because she was nosy and wanted to see what everything was going on and I was screaming at her to stay inside and that's when I woke up.

Dream

We were at my apartment and some family was over as well as my kids. My children were playing outside with neighbors children. My daughter was about 4 years older than what she is now. I ended up back into my apartment with my family. It was getting dark but the kids were still playing inside and then outside. I told them it was getting dark so no more splitting up. We got a knock on the door from a weird man named Mr. Tilly. We was there to give me some truth about my ex husband. My family felt very uneasy around him. He called himself a name that starts with an “A” The dream then took us to the truck. It was dark. Kids were somewhere playing. Mom and cousin was in backseat with Mr. Tilly. Marcus and I was in front seat. Mr. Tilly began to tell me that I had been possessed before by a spirit that was from Marcus. He told me Marcus wasn’t who I thought he was. He was actually very rich, had a nice car, and really didn’t need to work at the casino— (even though I know Marcus goes to work everyday) The dream fast forwarded to the possession I had and for a while I couldn’t see the spirit dragging me. Then eventually I saw it as Marcus dragging me around. I was screaming and trying to hurt him after I realized this.

Dream

I had a pet with me on a leash and I was holding them on their back. My mom was dropping us off at our address but as soon as I got out of the car, I realized we were nowhere near our address. But when I realized, it was too late and my mom had driven off. So I continued down a path while trying to figure out how to get home. I got down to one side of a path and realized I walked too far north, so I turned around to walk in a different direction. I put my pet down on the ground to walk beside me on their leash. I noticed a couple holes in the ground filled with water. Then suddenly there were these little girl ghoul creatures around me saying things like “don’t be afraid” and we “won’t harm you” but it did scare me. I picked up my pet only to realize that my pet turned into one of them. Scared, I try turning back around but I was nowhere near society as I remembered. The girls started eating me in a similar way death eaters in Harry Potter eat people. I started screaming my pet’s name in an effort to wake up and after a few attempts, something pushed them out of the way and then I woke up

Hotel

Dream

My husband and I were with our two best friends in a Vegas-y looking place. It was 9:00am. We decided to go back home or to a hotel or somewhere to change. His best friend was in a gift shop so we were going in to talk to him about when we were going to meet up again because our other friend--who I don't know in real life--didn't want to have dinner until 1900 and we weren't going to wait that long to come back and hang out. While they were talking I looked over at the wall across the room and saw cool looking clocks and my favorite cigarettes. I knew i wasn't going to buy anything but I went over to look. For some reason at that point I was naked waist up. I started walking back to them when a man walked up to me, held a gun to me, and said if you scream I'll kill you. He started dragging me off. I was screaming for my husband at the top of my lungs but he couldn't hear me. The guy tried to hit me with the gun and reiterated if I made noise he'd kill me. I figured wherever he was taking me would be worse than dying so I kept screaming. I bit his shoulder as hard as i could and took the gun. I tried to shoot him but it was jammed so I started running as fast as i could in the direction my husband and our friends went. I tried to ask passerbys for help but everyone kept saying no and not wanting to get involved until i got to a fountain of female protestors. They shoved me behind them and told him to go away and he did. I fell to my knees sobbing, and then woke up
