💡Possible meaning

This is a symbol of your need for rest and recovery, but notice the context in which you see either yourself or someone else in the dream. This could also be a wake-up call, suggesting that you are asleep to the opportunities that may be coming your way. Alternatively, it indicates that you have worked very hard and need to take a short break necessary for your journey.

Career

Recognize your need for rest and recovery. You cannot constantly be on your guard and must find the space and a safe environment to regain your energy. If you do not, you will become blind and naive to threats and opportunities around you. Learn to live a more balanced life and do not let exhaustion lead to avoidable mistakes.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of sleeping often evokes feelings of relaxation, tranquility, and rejuvenation. It symbolizes a need for rest and escape from the demands of daily life. This dream may also bring a sense of comfort and security, as sleep is a natural state of being. It can signify a desire for peace and a break from the stresses and worries of the waking world. Additionally, sleeping in a dream may represent a need for self-care and taking time to recharge both physically and mentally.

dream-about-heavy-bags-and-hotel-room
Baggage
War
Public toilet
Car
Party
Castle

Dream

In my dream there was a toilet, but like an old-fashioned toilet, almost just like a bucket. It had a funnel and I put some food down in there. I'm not sure why, and the food was blocking the funnel like nuts and seeds. Um yeah and then we were like at a rave, some kind of rave, at a party, a group of us. I think we were going to put our stuff down in this hotel room first. But then, we went off to rave to this party but then one of the guys went off somewhere else. And I ended up carrying all his bags. Um like really heavy bags I had to carry. And I'd load myself up first with all these bags and then somebody else would help me. But there was only like a little bit left for them to carry because I'd already got it all. And I was like okay I'm going with these really heavy bags instead of sharing the load equally. Um and then... And then we got back to this hotel room but we didn't have it to ourselves so it was like a shared hotel room. And we didn't know the other people that were sharing it with them so I was just introducing myself saying hello. And the hotel room was really posh, really really beautiful. And there were lots of different beds and lots of different rooms. But to get to the kitchen you had to go through this other woman's or this other family's room. But they said they didn't mind. And I'd been like eating or chewing this clary sage stuff apparently. But it went really fluffy in my mouth and after I'd finished chewing it I wanted to put it somewhere. So I was trying to put this really white fluffy stuff, get it out of my mouth and put it in a bin and look for a bin but I couldn't find a bin in this hotel room and it was all really posh and new so again I ended up putting this stuff, this rubbish in the wrong place that wasn't the bin. Yeah and then I was like sleeping next to a man, I didn't know him but it was in the dark and we started, started like, our feet were just kind of touching each other and then like it started tickling, we started tickling each other's feet really softly and gently. Then I was staying in a castle somewhere, it was old fashioned, it was back in the old days, I'm not sure if it was a part of the rave thing or not, but I was staying in this castle and then all these baddies, like army men, soldier men, started to like storm the place and all of us who were there were really scared and were trying to escape and I also had either my little girl there or my son who I was trying to protect, so we were hiding behind these things, hiding behind like a shutter or something, but then I decided to try and escape and so we just, I grabbed my doors and I just ran past all the scary men and down the steps and we did manage to escape and get out, they didn't do anything. And then I was driving a car somewhere, trying to get somewhere, but the brakes weren't working. The foot brake or the hand brake, or they were, but it was really slow and difficult and I was getting really frustrated. I couldn't find where I wanted to go for a start. I kept going the wrong way or being in the wrong place, feeling lost. And, yeah, then when I was wanting to stop, the brakes wouldn't work. They took ages. The car slides into a stop and then the wheel, the steering wheel started to break and fall off in my hands as well. And I realised that this car was no good to me anymore. It was too old and too broken.

Job

Dream

I dreamt that a classmate told me I could apply for a job when I’m sleeping. So you’re working while in a dream. It sounded weird but it was as if I had to, it sounded like I didn’t have a choice. Getting there was really weird, it was a tall building. You had to open a coffin and put on some sort of armour. And then you had two work phones. So then I guess you descended into the building somehow and fell asleep? But during your sleep you were working? I sat at a desk. Not many was at work. But my classmate and my twin was there and a teacher. I didn’t understand anything. It was like we had to solve math problems or something weird. Everyone knew how to do it and told me I would learn it eventually. And on top of that you actually got paid. My ex was then at the same table as me? He knew how to do it and it seemed he had been there a while. He tried to explain it to me but I didn’t get it. My excuse was that I was too tired and couldn’t listen properly. And then suddenly we had to climb a roof or something. He went first and waited for me to hold onto him but because of me we fell down the roof? The only way to be stuck to that roof was to put your nails in the roof but it was so tilted so it didn’t work. I didn’t understand this part of the dream?

We were waiting for them to get back in hopes that they would get back before sundown so we could go swimming. they ended up showing up way later than we imagined and hanging out for a while at the house our old family dog was with us, but we were way back in time before I or my cousin was even born so I’m not sure who all was back in time but I knew that me Mom, my boyfriend my boyfriend sister, and my brother knew that we were not in our right time. My mom and my brother loaded up in one car while me, my boyfriend and my boyfriend sister loaded up in the other car my mom had said something about knowing someone a couple towns over that knew how to get back to our regular time I don’t know how, but somehow we ended up without the car and we were walking the streets and it was morning I ended up running into a house in the middle of nowhere and was rummaging trying to find something to eat or something to help me get to town I ended up running into an old lady that lived there she Had showed me some of her plants that were ones I had never seen before nor do I believe are real shortly after my boyfriend and his sister shows up and she fed all three of us and gave me a file to hold some papers she gave me in the file was a couple extra papers and it stated it was like 1930 there was also an old man and a younger man there we sat there with these these 3 people talking for a while it seemed they may have gotten the idea that we were not from their time and I remember I was worried to second I got to the place cause I was afraid they’d find out about us not supposed to be in that time I’m not sure why I thought that was a bad thing but at this point it was about 6pm and they told us we could sleep in the bushes when we were getting comfortable there were papers/flyers and a couple trash items in the bushes that we kept picking up and were super interested in because all the stuff was clearly not from our time the old man ended up coming out and showing us to a room that was hidden in the bushes that had a couple couches and benches but looked like it hadn’t been used in a long time spiders and dirt everywhere we each took a couch I slept on the couch with my boyfriend and that’s when I woke up

dream-about-cats-and-zombies
Apartment
Park
Sleeping
Window
Zombie

Dream

So I had this dream that I was in a block of flats, and Paul was there, and it came on the news that you had to close all your windows, and outside there were loads of cats running around, so we were going round closing all the windows and closing all the net curtains, and the cats were just all over the place, and it kind of seemed to be that the cats would attack you if they could get to you. So we made sure that we shut all the windows, closed kind of the blind curtain thing so they couldn't see us, and we were kind of sat in, just kind of like looking out the window, seeing all these cats running about thinking what is going on, really don't know what's going on here, and for some reason, I'm not sure why, we left the flat, and I don't know if there was a certain time of day that we could do it, maybe it was just night time, we couldn't go out, but we went out, we ended up in a park, and then for some reason, either it got dark, or we saw something going on, but we climbed to the top of this climbing frame, to be safe, because they couldn't get us up there for some reason, and we were sat at the top, and there were some other people sat at the top, but if somebody got scratched, that person could then come to the top of the climbing frame, and kind of get you, I guess, I guess the cats were turning people into zombies, perhaps, or something. So we saw people being scratched, and trying to make their way up this climbing frame, and we were like, well we can't stay here now. And I said, no, we need somewhere to shelter in case it gets wet, so on one side of the park, there was this climbing frame, but it had a cover over it, and I ran over there, and I climbed up this climbing frame, and it had a cover on the top with a zip, almost like a tent, and I said to Paul, you've got to go over here, we can wrap ourselves up in this. So we climbed to the top of the climbing frame, we zipped it all up around us, and it was all padded, and it was all comfortable, and I was like, well this is brilliant. So I said, we'll just go to sleep here. So we laid down, but Paul kept moving around a lot, and I was like, stop it, because you're going to attract attention, and they are going to come and get us. Anyway, we were laying there falling asleep, and then something pulled the side of this structure, and we were like moving all over the place, and I was like, oh god, we need to just keep this thing zipped up, otherwise they're going to get us. Anyway, we ended up on the floor, and I was like, we've got to make a run for it, really. And we opened up the zip, and there was another structure, like a greenhouse, and I said, oh, maybe we'll go in there. So we went in there, and there was loads of Lego, and somehow, if you had Lego and made a Lego structure, it made you safer. But I didn't really believe that was going to work, so we decided we were going to go back into the building, because we thought that would be safer, because we could at least go in, lock the door, have somewhere safe to sleep. And we went into the building, and we had to try and navigate through each room to make sure there weren't any cats in there. And the rooms that did have either contaminated people or cats, they had these big warnings on the door, and we were like, we're going to have to just try and make our way through and get back to our room to be safe. And we went through and found one room, and there was a guy in there, and he was like, oh, it's safe in here, and I said, but you've got your windows open. So we were running around, trying to close the windows, and by where one of the windows was next to his bed, there was a cat on the floor. And I was like, is this cat one of those cats? And he said, no, it's just a normal cat. And I picked it up to move it out of the room, and it scratched my hand, and I looked at Paul, and I was like, what's going to happen now? And he was like, I don't know, we'll just have to wait and see. And then I woke up.

Dream

I had a dream that I was staying in my boyfriend's house and that my brother had been living with us there and that when he was living there he had the entire basement level to himself as like his room and I dreamt that He had been pirating video games again when he was living in the basement and that he had gotten Steven's mom a fee of $30,000 for it and that he got our internet shut off over there. I pretty much lost my shit at him. I was yelling at him because we can't afford to pay that fee no more than he could. He had caused a huge problem. He said he was using a VPN, but also told me that it was only $10 a month. So, it clearly didn't work, and he got caught doing illegal activity, and steven was asleep. But if he had been awake, I told Leo in the dream, I think stevens gonna kick you out for this. You cannot be behaving like this. We told you you can't do it at mom's, and we told you you can't do it at dad's, and now you're doing it here too. You've got to go in public for this. And he just kind of stood there and didn't say anything, and just kept shrugging it off like it was nothing, and just went about his business making his morning coffee while I'm losing my mind about this huge problem that he's just caused. And that was basically the whole dream, was that Steven and Zoh were asleep, and I woke up and saw that Leo had pirated something, and I lost my mind at him.

Seizure

Dream

I had a seizure the day before so when I woke up I felt really hungry and wanted to eat very badly. I looked down and saw that my nails were painted and I don’t remember painting them they were normal before I blanked out so I thought that was strange. When I went into the kitchen I saw that there was a bunch of people over in the backyard that I don’t remember seeing before. Then two boys came through the back door. It turned out that they were both famous actors and I was shocked and embarrassed since I was still in my pjs and hadn’t brushed my teeth or anything yet. I didn’t understand why they were there but then my mom came inside and she said that her friends knew their parents way before the boys got famous but I don’t remember it because I was really young. Both of them said hey and then left for a moment to grab something and both of them started trying to get me to eat one of them which I didn’t understand why I’m not that interesting. I ran and then managed to get myself ready and afterwards both the boys barged into my room and later down a bunch of shirts that were pretty cool looking but I didn’t want to be bought like a figurine on a shelf. I managed to figure out their names because I had forgotten. Both boys kept challenging each other to get me to be their girlfriend and I didn’t like it one bit. I asked them what their ages were and the one boy was just too young for me and I don’t think it would’ve worked out, he seemed really upset but I said that he was always welcome to come see me and hangout just as friends. The other was closer to my age so I kind of chose him and he was very sweet and cute. We sat on the couch and talked but then I realized my head hurt a bit from the seizures I had the day before and was nodding off, he offered to let me rest on his shoulder and I fell asleep then he fell asleep as well. The parents came in and said that they are going to hurt their necks and layed us down on the couch gently and said that we were meant to be together.
