Mirror
Chocolate

Dream

I was on my way somewhere and my mom was telling me to wear my natural hair out. My natural hair was turning grey, hers was still black and she asked me why was my hair grey, I told her it's because of the stress. Half of my family were vampires as well. I was thinking about venting to her then I realized I didn't want to talk to her about serious emotional or relational things anymore, then she told me about the crush from last year and how he was into my ex more than me and how it made me question my worth.i just looked in the mirror feeling insecure about how my grey hair didn't blend with the rest of my hair, and I was wondering how to reduce my stress so I wouldn't get anymore Grey hairs. The whole front, top of my hair was color grey. I get in my car and ride to a huge ranch, I had chocolate in my hand to go to the neighboring ranch of hyena dogs. I was told how similar they are to domestic dogs so I got a chocolate bar out of my hand and threw it, calling to a hyena dog and it ran to eat it. Then I realized it could kill it and tried to get the dog to stop eating it. But I gave up because it must've been so sweet and delicious for the hyena dog, that it ate the whole thing.

Stress

Dream

I was at a hotel for my bridal shower. At first, it was just me and my parents there. My mom called the front desk to make a reservation for dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. We got down there and I ordered first. I ordered pasta. Slowly people began showing up. At first it was people I knew coming in. But more and more people started to flood in. We were in a big conference room type of deal. I was very stressed out. Servers kept coming to the table, bringing other people food or appetizers, which was making me angry and upset because this was my bridal shower and I ordered first. There was nothing one waitress who came and asked me something that I couldn’t understand at first because it was like she didn’t know English. But she repeated herself and said “do you accept validations?” as in compliments. She complimented me in someway, but I was too stressed to even care, so I just said okay. I remember going around the room and the long tables and not knowing anyone and it was just getting crazy in there. It was like I was lost. I tried to go speak to the manager but I didn’t feel safe. It felt like she was going to try to kill me, so I brought someone with me. The manager was dismissive and didn’t care what I was saying. I also didn’t know who I was marrying. I assumed it was my girlfriend, but it wasn’t clear at all. Everyone was ignoring me and it was a mess. I woke up from the dream because I was trying to kick someone in the dream and then I kicked in real life. I fell back asleep and it was like the same dream started over, except I got the “behind the scenes” version. It was kinda the same, but then I was at some movie theater concession and there was no one there except the employees. One of them started to give me oral sex and then he called the other worker over so she could do it as well. I felt like I was being assaulted. I called my girlfriend’s cousin and told her in Spanish what was happening so she could come save me. I remember waking up again from trying to kick.

Stress

Dream

My mom had cooked some food for the class reunion and what she had cooked wasn't enough for everyone. I had to ask my classmates to help out and cook more and various classmates volunteered to step up. One classmate volunteered to cook more baked beans another one volunteered to cut the prime rib, another one volunteered to help make more collard greens. We added the new food to the food that was already cooked so we had enough to feed everyone. I went from feeling stressed and overwhelmed to feeling relieved and grateful that everyone stepped up and came through. The new baked beans were much spicier than the original baked beans, so we mix them together. I asked a woman to save me some of the prime rib so I could take some home to the family. Everyone was very nice and helpful. The woman gave me two pieces of prime rib off of her plate and keep one piexe for herself so I could take food home for my wife and son.

Dream

I saw my ex Jeremy, his brother Charlie, and his sister Michaela along with his new girlfriend. We were both in these weird quick rent apartments. I was figuring out what I was doing there in this strange place when I saw my friend Haley and Emalea. They both encouraged me things will be okay. I kept peeking through the windows to look out for Jeremy, when I hear Charlie suddenly say “hey I just saw Yasmine over there do you wanna say hi?” Jeremy then says no we don’t have time and it seemed like he was trying to figure things out when it came to money and his relationship and he seemed very stressed. There are a few gangs outside as well that are patrolling the area so a lot of people were cooped up in their homes. I decided to head over there instead. I’ll smoke some weed with them, and maybe catch up. It was very awkward at first. Charlie was happy to see me especially knowing that I had some weed on me. Michaela was completely avoidant. The apartment was dark. Yvannia, Jeremy’s… partner I guess? Looked very different but I still knew it was her. She also started acting a bit avoidant but I initiated a conversation and I let her know, “hey I just want you to know I don’t hate you, like my anger has always been towards Jeremy. Sometimes I’d get frustrated and just want you to realize at the end of the day the problem is Jeremy and not me and you. I don’t blame you anymore” she went to agree but as we were all smoking outside, the gangs started bothering us. We all went into my apartment very quickly, locked the door, and started trying to close the blinded. Unfortunately the door lock wasn’t working. I wasn’t too scared though like the rest of them. Jeremy started freaking out.

Dream

I was in my childhood home, outside on the street. I was doing something, and my car was horizontay on the side of the road, I blocked it off with a sign so that no one will hit it. But a car came and was sort of angry with me, refusing to pass by the other side. I removed the sign to show him that my car is there but he just sped and hit the car door. And then my family members came and the dude who hit me and we got in a car to solve the problem at the police station. We never arrived there, the dream ended up bringing us to a pet clinic which was on a cruise. And we somehow had a dog, then while waiting in the waiting room. I got teleported in an alternative reality of the cruise, where I was all alone. Except there were frozen gods, and one was awake. He told me not to touch a specific god that I had already touched by accident as it was a narrow place. I told him I needed to go back where I came from, that I don't know what to do. My friend tried to come after me in this reality, but she was sent back as she told me she can't take me with me. The unfrozen god didn't really help that much, and the god that I touched slowly becaome unfrozen which led to him going after me with glowing red eyes. He was an evil god which I brought to life. After he unfroze he started chasing me, and bringing the reality to life with people, who will also chase me. Not everyone was chasing me, there were specific assassins but the public knew I was wanted. I spent my time running away from them, I was so uncomfortable and scared at first. I wanted to leave the dream but I didn't know how. I tried to see it in a positive light, that this is like hide and seek. So I kept running and hiding. I ran into a clothing dispenser, in a poor alley, and the guy incharge helped me out. Yet at the end he was into me while I was looking for clothes panicked, I left or was caught. After that I remember being in another scenario with my aunt and cousin. A house Dock near a lake, and we were relaxing enjoying our time. But then the people on the other side had a microphone and were doing some activities. The kids stole the microphone and threw it over in the water by me. I went in the water and gave it to the people working there. After that I had my feet in the water along with my aunt, but stingray kept coming up to us. Actually they were coming up to me. The more I kept putting my feet up, a bigger Stingray would come and try to touch me. So I got out of the water and walked away. Then I saw people in diving suits just floating, and my Mon was a part of those people. They looked so relaxed I wanted to go too. But my snorkle was broken. So I just watched. After that I ended up in another scenario where I was living alone with my mom and my cat which became my living younger sister. This is a repeating dream. Our mom goes to grandma for one day, and our dad which isn't in the picture comes with his new girl, barges in the house saying he has a gift. Screaming in russian, I go down and tell him our mom isn't home. Then he takes us to go shopping, which then he completely ignores us, and makes ignorant tries at gifts. Then he tried to go to a bathroom with his girl to make out but there was a kid in there and the door fell on him. I laughed and then I took my sister my the hand and ran as fast as possible. I knew we had to get away from him. I found a hidden bar, In a construction area which was full of people. I told the workers there to not let my father and his girl inside. I gave a good explanation and sat down with my sister in the corner to eat burgers and fries, with our juice. Then new kids come with more juice, while my sister had just finished hers, and she looks sad. I tell her she has water. After we eat I'm stressed out. Struggling to work with the phone and call my mom's number. I was so anxious he would come and I needed her to know what happened but I couldn't find her number. It was there but there was so many others I had to scroll. The dream ends with me struggling and stressed trying to call mom, but I never call her.

Dream

I was getting married to a girl who was my childhood neighbor. I always had a crush on her but we were getting married without even having gone on a date or anything. It was the day of the wedding and I was stressed thinking how do I get out of this. She was stressed about something as well so I was trying to calm her down. For some reason we were in a hospital. I was following her around trying to listen to her and calm her down. We were trying to find somewhere more private. We walked down the hall and ended up right next to a hospital patient and the patient was a young attractive black female and she was listening to our conversation. Jena, the girl inwas set to marry grabbed a note from a table next to the patient and read it out loud and said something about a guy named Ken and she was like yeah right, not doing that and I was said so much for finding a private area, let's go somewhere else. We moved to a different space amd now we were next to some store shelving like a pharmacy of store inside this hospital. She was all dressed up and I was just wearing my normal clothes. I went back to get changed but didn't have a suit or anything. I remembered thinking that her dad already paid for the venue and felt bad and was gonna give him like 10k to cover the cost after calling off the wedding. I think the wedding ended and we just didn't really show up till the end and it was like it wasn't too big of a deal.
