Dream

Last night I had a dream after I was watching the movie Agatha After Long. The particular episode I watched was about witches who were going down this path that they needed to face their fears. when I went to sleep the dream that I had took place at I was at an airport and I got to the security and I didn't have my boarding pass so I was trying to find pull up my boarding pass on my mobile phone but I couldn't find it and then I couldn't find my ID so I was looking for my ID and my boarding pass so I decided I needed to go back home to get my passport and I knew it would take it was only like a 30-minute train ride away to get to the airport and back in There was a subway train connected to the airport. I hopped on the subway. It was only supposed to take me like 10 minutes to my house and 10 minutes back so I should have been back to the airport in 20 minutes. However, the train never stopped. I asked the conductor why didn't the train stop and he said this train is going backwards and it's gonna take over an hour to get back to the airport which I was super nervous because I said I'm gonna miss my flight but there was no way for me to get off the train. Next thing you know it went pitch black and the scene changed and I was walking out of the subway. When I got out of the subway, I transitioned from a subway to walking out of the homeless shelter in my hometown of Kalamazoo, Michigan. When I was walking out of the homeless shelter, I was holding the hands of two children who were scared. There were a lot of homeless people, many of whom were on drugs and some people were even dead. And I was trying to guide the kids around the different bodies. I also saw one of the pastors who I know was with me as well. And he was saying, come on, we got to hurry up and get to this training. While holding the kids' hands and trying to navigate them and keep them calm from being scared, all of a sudden the scene changed again and I was at another building and I was trying to find my way in so I could take this training. I knew I needed to be there for a training. However, when I got in the building, nobody could answer me when I kept asking where the particular training was. Nobody knew where it was. The pastor and the kids that were with me were gone and I was trying to find them to see if perhaps they knew where I needed to be. I ran into a woman and she said, Hey, the place where you need to go is next door. Go over there and ask them when you get there, ask them for this particular information. I can't remember what it was, but she told me what to ask and she was like, you need to go to the building next door. When I walked outside to go next door, it was pitch black. As I was walking next door, I almost heard this voice saying to me, this is a dream, but it's not, pay attention. As I was walking to the next door building, I heard somebody say my name, Nicole. The voice kind of sounded familiar, but the voice also sounded distressed. They called my name again. When they called my name, they started coming towards me and then they fell and they were in so much distress. I instantly stopped what I was doing, I dropped everything and I ran to that person's aid and I started to help them. As I was helping the woman, it almost seemed as if she came out of the ground which was similar to something that happened in the episode but she was coming out of the ground and she was struggling and stressed and I was helping her, trying to keep her calm and then eventually her demeanor changed and she was more calm and she said, for helping me, here is a door and a door appeared out of nowhere like magic, almost like a magic wand and I heard a voice say that you can go through the door she said, you can go through the door, this is almost your reward for helping me and as I got ready to go towards the door, it closed really fast Almost as if she shut the door when she slammed the door her face completely changed and almost like a demonic But not really her face can change and she ripped off this mask and she said You are not supposed to go through that door you are actually supposed to go somewhere else you are distracted This was a distraction and I heard a voice say listen like this isn't a dream But this is like it's a dream, but it's not a dream Listen to the words she's saying she said like that door wasn't for you to go through But because you were helping someone else you thought this was a door that was presented to you But that actually wasn't the door you got distracted when you were trying to help this individual instead of Going next door to do what you need to do You stopped to help someone else and then you thought this this opportunity was for you. That wasn't for you so then I sat there and then I woke up

i was going on rollercosters for a field trip so i waited in line with all my friend so they could go but since i dont like roller coasters i skipped ti the end and there i found a girl who was unable to go on the roller coaster due to a physical condition. so i sat there and talked to her for a little. she was nice so when she had a care taker come pick her up she said we should hang out again and i agreed. i would go to her house and my mom would go out with her parents. then her care taker came in and said he wanted to go for a ride, he kept being weird and against my better judgment i went with him. everyone in public was acting really weird like looking like they were satanic cult. i said i wanted ti go home and i was scared and suddenly we were driving down a corn field. i was begging to go home and he said he would take me there but then said let me check if he is here and pulled out a mirror asking “are you here” suddenly all around us would flash graphic images of a lady. we were driving past things like a circus parade and then we got out the car it was like everyone but him was after me. so i followed him, we were headed into a subway when i saw someone cosplaying the god Kali, so i went to point him out but my care taler was gone amd it looked like the people staring at me were after me so i asked Kali for help to please save me. she took me down to a bathroom to keep me safe and text my mom but in the other stalls people were pulling at my clothes and legs to go under to them. thats when i thought my dream ended, it felt like i had woken up and was talking to my mom about the nightmare i had and she comforted me and made me feel a little better before i fully woke up

Subway

Dream

NYC subway-I am trying to figure out which train to take. And I’m having trouble getting the ticket dispenser to work. And I’m asking someone and they are helping me. I have to walk down to another station the five instead of the three. So I start to walk, someone wants to give me some thing and is following me and I thank him, but I don’t want whatever it is. He’s trying to give me. He could be a bit of a creeper but maybe not and it’s all OK. I finally get to where I’m supposed to catch the train have more problems with the ticket dispenser and have someone else show me how to use it.. 2) snow policy- I wake up and there is a ton of snow on the porch in Bayfield and I think that the snow policy of going into the college won’t work. Because if it’s that bad for me, what about other people so I am calling. And I run into Tom and Walmart and tell him that he needs to be sensitive of other students. Then Gretchen knows of a woman who she can interview who’s Pakistani. We meet her and Gretchen interviews her. and I’m saying like get on with it. Gretchen is asking slow questions. The woman drives a big truck. She is really neat. Like a semi. And she is also pregnant and tells the story of almost getting stoned by another person and surviving. And somehow that makes sense with the snow argument. but Gretchen needs to write it all up and then the woman isn’t sure about having her name used in an interview.

Subway

Dream

I had a dream last night where me and my family were in the subway together. But then all of the sudden they just left and said they were gonna be right back. So I just sat there and waited. I saw an adult man look happy and tried to talk to me as he was looking at his cute baby. I noticed his baby and thought he looked cute. But I was still curious about why my sister and mom had left me, I continued waiting for a few minutes until they came back. They were both very mad at me and especially my sister. She grabbed my cheeks and squeezed them really hard, I said “OWW YOUR HURTING ME IM IN PAIN!” Then she said “I can slap you in the face right now…” Then I was like “WHAT!?!? WHY!!!???? What did I do!?!?” My mom was there as well but said “You should already know what you did.. I’m not telling you..” I was so confused I was like “I have no idea what your talking about what did I possibly do wrong!?!?”

Abuse

Video Game
Childhood home
Siblings

Dream

I was back together with my abusive ex. It seems like I gave him a 2nd chance or something. I was living inside an apartment that was familiar to my childhood home. My friends and siblings was there. I specifically remembered seeing my older sister Jenny and my estranged brother in the dream. I don't remember seeing my eldest sister but I knew she was around. My ex was playing video games and he told me to get him a coke. Something he often did during our relationship, order me around. But this time in the dream I asked him to rephrased his request as a question and to add please. Because I was practicing boundaries on how he should speak to me. He rephrased it but deliberately didn't add please. I told him I would not get him the soda until he asked me the way I would like it be asked. I went back to my friends and family letting them know what he did which was something he often did during the relationship. I wanted them to see the abuse I've experienced before. They took my back and supported me in putting that boundary up. My ex did not budge he continued playing video games and instead of rephrasing the question went to get his own coke. For some reason are started to feel physically insecure to be in the same space as if I was unsure if the issue was going to escalate so I decided to leave. I ended up in the subway/train station with friends nearby all supporting me. My ex was at the station to attempting to leave too but I knew he was only there because I was there too. I was trying to dodge him and I found one of my friends I hugged them and somehow it was like we were able to hear him from some sort of comms radio where he was at and my friends helped me nor encounter in the subway/train station while I was there and I was able to dodge him with the help of my friend. I remember feeling validated by my friend and family being there to experience and see an abusive act I often had to deal with throughout the relationship especially one of the most covert type of abuse, which is verbal and emotional abuse that aren't often taken as seriously as physical and sexual abuse though I experienced those in the relationship as well.

Dream

I had a dream my friend invited me to an airbnb with their other friends I didn’t know that well. There was a loft where everyone would sleep and a downstairs basement area where we would all hang out. Even though the air bnb was cabin like, it was in the middle of a city. All of the friends went to sleep except me and a few other girls. We decided to pull an all nighter and turned on the TV and the news was playing. 3 people were standing in a starwell leading to the underground subway system when bombs went off and debri was hitting them and they were getting shot at. They were screaming help and eventually ran down into the subway system. We were terrified and realized it was a terrorist attack. One of my friends was super quiet and I asked if she was okay. She said no and the street where those people were being attacked was the street next to us. We tried to wake the others up to tell them what was going on but they kept saying “it’s fine” and “the government will handle it” and I kept thinking I can’t wait to leave the U.S. next week

Sexual Assault
High School

Dream

I’m back in high school and my friends and me were planning our graduation prank (something we’re actually working on right now). I remember sitting in class, my school being a mix of my high school and the campus of my former middle school. I’m together with my high school friends and we go out of the school to go on a quest that was also a trip. We meet new teenagers in our age. One place was at a river. We sit on the beach and have fun together. I’m suddenly alone with only a girlfriend of mine (who i don’t know in real life) and she’s on a small sand-island on the river that is connected to the beach. There are also the two other teenagers who have been drinking since we joined them on the beach and lay on their backs in the sand. One of them stands up and goes towards my friend on the island in a threatening manner, like he wants to sexually assault her. I try to stop him and he suddenly grabs me by my throat and presses me against something hard like a street lamp. But it’s the doorframe of the living room in the apartment I’ve lived in when I was a child and young teen. I feel him pressing my back so hard against the edge of the doorframe that i started to feel my bones and get scared of him breaking them, so i squirm in his grasp. Me and my high school friends had to drive with the subway, the public transport I used to drive with to get to my former middle school. We have a group chat, a mix of all the graduates who want to be a part of our graduation prank. I don’t know some of them and suddenly they joined us in the subway. As they introduced themselves I saw an old friend from my second former middle school, who in real life I want to have contact with again. She is with her friends, also a group of people I don’t know. I lean in to hug her but but she tells me she’ll sit on the subway seat so I ask her if it’s still fine if we hug and she agrees. It was slightly awkward but that’s how we are sometimes, and hugged. I wake up.
