Dream

okay so my dream last night. the first part of the dream was almost scary, i dont remember as vividly but, it was a very dim environment, and i had to live in this room, a wall opened sometimes but if it closed behind you, it was a garentied death. almost like the maze runner. and i go behind this wall, and its just like a normal house except very dark. and robotic spiders and flys would come out, if you got stung, it killed you. and i was back there looking at the stove, not to far from the door and it starts closing, well i manage to fight the door enough to get through, but then i left it open. and swarms of robotic spiders and flies started filling the room, so i had no choice but to go in the room and close the door behind me. there was definitely more to my dream but thats all i can remember. this was the second part but i woak up in a hospital bed, apparently i had been in a coma for 30 years. i went straight to my grandmas house, and her my aunt and my 2 cousins were there. their faces when they saw me, they were in complete shock. but none of them had aged, only me. we sat down and talked and they all huged me, and couldnā€™t believe i was awake. then somebody mentioned my boyfriend. i ran outside to call him. he answered, and i said yk this is ana. and he said never to talk to him again, and i asked why like what happened. and he said i had 2 boyfriends. and im like huh?? i donā€™t remember that at all, nor would i do something like that. but all this time had passed, he knew i was in a coma but he didnā€™t once ask about it or even a ā€œyour awakeā€. i went back inside and told them i needed to see my mom, and my grandma and them drove me to the airport, and my mom and family were really excited, everybody was there to pick me up. extended family too. and same thing, none of them aged only i did. and after that initial reunion, things just went back to normal, i remember being in a paitents room, training as a CNA, but my family was training me? we went to the pet store, ig we needed alot from there, and there was this weird looking animal, its face looked like a peice of wood, and its body like a black rock, and it had holes for its eyes and mouth, they looked so void and empty and lifeless, but it moved. were back at the house, and we were gathering games i think, and there sits, right infront of me, my cousin. brianna, she has passed away in real life, and i knew that somehow. she was sitting on the ground with her son, whos maybe a year. she didnā€™t have a son in real life. and my mom looked at me like she knew her fate too. brianna hadnā€™t aged either, but i cried when i saw her. and i thought to myself what if i could be this boys god mother. the last bit of my dream was odd. it was the same but like idk, so im walking down the street, and all of a sudden im paul rudd. and you see him from like a camera point of view, but its me. so im/him is walking in a very crowded place and a ladys purse gets stolen but its all acting cuz thereā€™s cameras all around him. and then its not acting anymore, he/i notices an old shoe store that isnt there anymore, steals a car and drives off to an island where itā€™s supposedly located now.

Dream

So just before I slept. I was lost. I wanted to cry but couldnā€™t. And it was because my day was foggy and I had a brain fog (where Iā€™m just in my head or on my phone most of the time) because I was missing some parts of my pasts while remembering some bad stuff that happened too. And I wanted to cry I wanted to feel something because I had my parents loss their affection on me. And my little siblings were the only ones in my life have they been giving me hugs and kisses. And I wanted to feel something, to feel loved to feel pain to feel like Iā€™m loved. So I tried to cry to feel something. Since my parents didnā€™t gave me the affection I needed anymore, I kinda lost the need to cry or to feel this love in my chest. So it was hard to cry whenever I wanted to. I did cry but only a little. Tillā€¦I had this dream. I think I had a dream before this dream, but I forgot about it already and itā€™s not important anymore. But this dream was. As I had a horrible time with myself, I had a dream where I was in this place as a kid. And there were other kids. And it seemed like there were these adults who were watching us? It kinda felt like an expiriment on the kids. So me and not a lot of kids just a couple were like in this HUGE circle room where the walls were high and was made of glass. I think there were adults at the glass watching us but I didnā€™t pay attention. And there were very few adults in this glass room with us. It seemed like there were only 4 maybe?? There might be more but I wasnā€™t also paying attention to that. Thatā€™s when I think something happened to the place and I think I was trapped?? But I managed to escape and Iā€™m not sure where the other kids were. Iā€™m pretty sure there were somewhere but I didnā€™t pay attention to them because I saw this- kid. They were trapped under a table with something small with them. I think it was an infant or a little dog? I do think it was a baby dog because of something that happened later on my dream. So I saw them, and I went to try and help them get out. I think there was an Earthquake because I remember seeing stuff falling from the ceiling and the ground shaking kinda. So I tried to helped them out but I think I was struggling a lot. I also think I remember having an adult come up behind me and started to say how I was so weak because of how much I was struggling and while giving me answers on how to free them but in a tone as if they saying ā€œoh my gosh you donā€™t even know what your doing let me just tell you the answer if your that dumbā€ And I finally got the person trapped out. But I also think the adult that was talking to me was in my head maybe and not came behind me?? I dunno. But the person who was trapped was thankful that I freed them and didnā€™t react about the adult who talked to me so maybe it was in my head? I believe we escaped the place with the little dog and I believe something happened after that- and I may had forgot but there was a next scene and it seemed like I was in a house. I think I was now a teenager now like I am in real life. Dunno if in my dream I was a bit older. But the person I saved? We apparently build this house Iā€™m in and now weā€™re living together. And now thereā€™s this big fluffy dog with us. Seemed like it was the baby dog earlier on. And we were just living in our house together in peace. We were happy together and had a close friendship. But maybe our friendship was more or maybe it was just me in my dream. I remember there this moment where we were both sitting together doing something (I forgot what it was) and I think I managed to lucid dream here or just be able to control myself in this dream in this part only. And I may had found out I loved her and that if I did, I should make sure she knows. And at this moment I managed to control myself in my dream and moved my head to see her face. I remember her having short hair that seemed that she had cut it. It seemed like a messy haircut but it seemed to fit her. I donā€™t remember much now of what she looked like but I remember just staring at her and thinking how beautiful she is. Maybe she saw me staring and I went back to what I was doing or she never looked back at me and I just stopped staring. But then I lost control to my dream and a next scene came. It showed what our house looked like outside. There was a balcony that I was in and we were both outside because there was something going on. Our house at first seemed like it was floating- and maybe it was floating. But I remember seeing a thin wooden line that connects the bottom of our house to the grounds that was covered in snow. And maybe that was what was keeping the house standing, or it was a rope and our house was indeed floating and the rope was keeping the house from floating away. And just beside our house were a few other houses (I remember seeing 3 but there could be more) that were also having something below them like ours did. Me and (my friend? Lover? Our relationship was weird. We were friends but it seemed like we were in love with each other but didnā€™t said anything yet) friend- went to the balcony to see what was happening on the ground below us. And it seemed like our neighbors were doing the same too. It seemed like people- adults or kids?? It was foggy and there were dressed in something that made me not be able to see what they were. But they were bothering us. And annoying us because I remember feeling annoyed. But it seemed that it was common to have them come and annoy us because we were just whatever about it along with the neighbors. I think me and my friend went back inside- till a next scene came. I donā€™t know if me and my friend went out or we were just inside our house, but someone came. We didnā€™t knew who this person was and I had forgot how we found this new person, but they were a stranger to us and we didnā€™t trust them. And they seemed like they didnā€™t trust us too but they said they needed something/help? I forgot what it was, but the three of us went out to find what the stranger needed. Me and my friend had our guard up the whole time. We reached to a place where houses were never on the ground but were either floating or had something to let it stand. But I couldnā€™t know what it was. I guess when I was in the dream, I knew what everything was so I never questioned it. But since I obviously donā€™t know this world now that Iā€™m awake, Iā€™m unfamiliar with it. But me, my friend and this stranger went to this house in this town? City? It seemed urban like. And the door opened. An old man came in view, I donā€™t remember what the old man looked like now but I seemed to be familiar with him in my dream. Me and my friend were behind the stranger who was in front of the old man. We didnā€™t say anything till the old man spoke. He said ā€œWhat are you doing here?ā€ He asked the stranger. ā€œI know who those two are-ā€œ he nodded to me and my friend. (Remember I said before the scene where itā€™s after we escaped the place and I said there maybe was something that happened after that and then the scene of me and my friends in our built house came later on? Thatā€™s when I think something did happened when the old man said that) ā€œbut who are you?ā€ The old man finally asked suspiciously at the stranger. But then I unfortunately woke up- It seemed that either I forgot what happened after what the old man said- or nothing didnā€™t happen afterwards because me waking up interrupted that.

Forest

Dream

We were walking somewhere on a muddy trail through an unfamiliar forest. It reminded me of a road march in the Army, but I was no longer in the Army. I was marching with a bunch of strangers. I think we were in a national forest somewhere. We were reaching the end of our destination. We stopped the march for a break and I decided to take my shoe shining kit and my gun cleaning kit out of my backpack; I wanted to shine my boots. Because I wanted to look nice when we arrive. I took off my favorite green combat boots that I love. One of the guys with whom I was marching saw that I was wearing green combat boots and came over to me and asked me if I was a veteran. I told him that I was and I was proud when I was saying that. Then he saw my weapon cleaning kit and he asked me if my sister got it for me. Somehow he knew that my sister served in the military. I was a little jealous that a stranger would think that the weapon cleaning kit would belong to my sister and not to me. I told him that no I got it myself because I was in the military too not just my sister. The guy nodded and looked like he was impressed with my green jungle combat boots. I told him I used to wear them when I was a young soldier and he complimented me for wearing them.

Dream

I had a dream that I was on vacation. I didnā€™t see people I knew in the dream. I had a bag with my wallet in it and it left it somewhere. I ended up on the dance floor and told the DJ that I was missing my bag with my wallet. If anyone found it, there would be a reward. He announced it and almost everyone started helping me look. People started bringing me bags that were not mine, but they were looking. Some people gave me gifts for some reason. I ended up eating with strangers. Iā€™m not sure why I was with people I did not know. I did not seem to mind. I remember sitting at one table with a group of people who worked for the same company. The other table I sat with were all African Americans who were ā€œcousinsā€ and part of a sorority. I remember I started looking for my bag, and could not find it. I needed it so I could go back home.

I dreamed that I was at Joeyā€˜s house and all of a sudden the Ripon police department just walked in a whole bunch of uniform officers without knocking and with no need or no Click to be there. I told him excuse me you canā€™t walk in here like that thatā€™s against the law and they told me to calm down before I get handcuffs. I was worried about anything illegal, but I may had in my purse or that may be there, but I couldnā€™t really do anything about it because they were all watching . Joey went into the kitchen and shut the door and they just stayed out there and I figured he was trying to get rid of anything illegal and when the other officer said, youā€™re just gonna let him go back to shut the door if you canā€™t see so getting rid of anything that we wanna find and the other office said just chill out. So I started talking to the office and I made some food and I fed them and eventually turned into like a big house party with a whole bunch of people from the town there a lot of people I didnā€™t know and thereā€™s a whole bunch of newborn baby kittens that were everywhere and I was worried about the new baby kittens getting stepped on. There was also some small children there and I was worried about that too, I also was laying down on the bed and spooning somebody and then I realized it was a total stranger and I was very embarrassed and I made it something and told him that I thought he was somebody else but I donā€™t even know how that happened. It was a lengthy party and eventually none of the Oscars were upset about anything and they became more like friends.

Dream

I was sleeping in my friend Amandaā€™s bed and not my own and it was much more comfortable than my own bed. I asked her what was it about it that made it so much nicer than my own bed, was it the softer sheets was it the brand or the type of mattress? Later, I was still in her home and getting a massage from a professional masseuse, and all of a sudden, the masseuse left and a strange unknown man with long brown hair straddled my back. I was suddenly surprised; so I flipped over, but then realized that my breasts werenā€™t covered and then I flipped back over onto my stomach. I am white and so was he, but he began using the racist ā€œnā€ word. Appalled, I then jumped up and ran away; feeling unsafe, I went into another room in my friendā€™s house and locked the door to hide from the strange guy. I felt really unsafe. At one point, I saw this strange creature like a large mosquito, the size of a tennis ball; alarmed, I tried to point it out to my friend, and tried to clobber one that was flying around the house, but no one else seemed to notice the odd creature but me!
