Dream

My dream starts out as me being some type of spirit and I'm on my way to hell and these spirits are trying to get something that I have that's personal of mine and when they try to attack me to go and get it, this other person that looked like a special op kind of force guy, his name was David, he tries to help me and he gets whatever that's mine back to me and tells me to never ever lose what I have and he goes and tells me, he tried to help other spirits too apparently, but he told me it's like whatever you need help just call my name and I will be there no matter where you are I will show up and I will be there and I just said okay and I didn't really want him to leave my side but I had to move on I guess and I can see some type of headquarters like an evil like headquarter where I'm assuming that that would be the devil's headquarters and he's like watching me the whole time he's not omnipresent but he's there and he's watching he knows everywhere that I'm at and all of a sudden there's like this big boxer ring looking like stadium kind of thing it's in the middle of like outside and it lifts up and there's like these four or six other people that are kind of knocked off this thing and they are getting sucked and pulled in down down to a pit and I'm watching this from the outside and I can see that this guy ended up you know not getting sucked in and then the stadium thing lifted like one of the rocks thing like just knocked him right into the thing so that way he was gonna get sucked into the pit and then the story changes to where I'm in someone's house and I'm downstairs and then I go upstairs and all of a sudden I'm just eating these animal circus cookies the ones with the icing on it and I have to be eating them consistently and then All of a sudden, I see David, kind of, but I guess he didn't see me, and he was escorting other girls down to a certain area, and then I was in some type of room, eating these animal surface cookies, and I was naked, and then they were about to come into the room, and I was like, no, no, no, wait, just hold on, just don't come in here. And then I kind of realized that David was a bad guy, not the good guy, so I felt like I was tricked, and then I was kind of trapped forever, wherever I was. But I knew that it was some type of hell.

House
Basement

Dream

The dream started off with me making a deal to enter a house, but the house was almost like a portal to visit those who have passed on. I remember wanting to go inside to see my Aunt Tami who passed nearly two years ago. I wasn’t alone though. I believe I was with my cousin Kaitlyn but can’t fully recall. As we were about to enter the house it was day. I remember having a strange feeling wash over me as though I shouldn’t enter. It was strong and for a second I thought to myself, I shouldn’t go in. There was nothing creepy about this house. In fact it looked pretty modern and updated. It wasn’t old and creepy looking or really falling apart. It was a two story house. The top floor was the main entrance and all your normal accommodations on that floor. It also had a balcony. Then there was a basement. Even the basement was updated and made to look nice. I remember that feeling of unease but ignored it and ventured in with my cousin. As we entered we seated the entirety of the house. As we were walking through an area we came across my other cousin Bryson and his daughter Sage. We rushed to them with excitement. But something felt off. One there were standing on top of the roof to the garage of the home. Also their backs were to us and Sage was wearing an old fashioned all white dress. When Kaitlyn and I first saw her neither one of us recognize her as Sage. Are first instinct was that she was tami but as a child. Until we recognize Bryson. Still something felt very off about the two. I think we tried to ask questions but didn’t get much a response before they both disappeared. Kaitlyn and I continued to get very creeped out as well as confused. As we continued to explore the house we came upon a bedroom. Most of the house was empty with little to no furniture but this room was fully furnished. As we continued to search the room it started to become dark. We were about to leave the room when Kaitlyn noticed something and kept pointing to the ceiling saying she could see something or someone. As she did that feeling of uneasiness returned. I felt cold. Suddenly my hair that was in multiple braids started to float up towards the ceiling. I hadn’t really seen myself until this moment. The dream had been as though I’m seeing it all through my actual eyes up to this moment. The dream changed and actually showed me and I too was wearing an old white dress that looked like an old night gown. I slowly started floating up towards the ceiling. Kaitlyn was in a panic as I seemed to not be myself anymore. I can’t remember exactly what happened but I remember eventually both of us running and trying to get back to the main door. We tried opening it but it was locked. Kaitlyn was in a panic and was trying the door over and over again as well as the windows trying everything to get out. I to was desperate to get out until I heard a voice almost from inside my head saying don’t go outside; they’re wanting for you. I was so distracted but this that I hadn’t noticed that somehow Kaitlyn had managed to get outside. I yelled at her and said Kaitlyn get back inside she turned to look at me when a creature large and skinny almost alien like rushed by her. I believe I rushed out and grabbed her and brought her back inside. The dream changed and I just remember us being trapped at this house and unable to escape. Even though during the day we could go outside we couldn’t leave the property. At night we had to lock ourselves inside to protect ourselves from the creatures that roamed around the place. Though we were inside we could still hear them running around outside and making screaming noises and screeching. The dream had me so creeped out that it woke me from my dream with my heart racing.

Dream

I stated my dream as a cartoon. There were three girls on the ground. Three or two boys came riding two horses. They picked the long hair l, girly girls and kissed like in barbie movies and went with them. When they were leaving one boy was trying to pay attention to the other girls but didn't have the chance. Then I saw live people. They were going in a tunnel. One boy was expressing feelings to a girl, short hair one, with a mouth piercing and was wearing like a tomboy not long frocks like other girls in the cartoon. They were doing some adventures. Then the dream shifted to me. I don't remember who were the other people with me. We had two servants kind of people. When we sing the songs of hindi dramas which were dubbed to singala, my mother tongue, they turn into donkeys/ horses. We were escaping from opponents and were trying to escape. We could in the first cave. Then we came near an old home. I was with teo boys. There when we were going one of us was trapped under the floor. Other one was trying to help, they couldn't. Then I told them it's not hard to come out as they think and told them how to do it. Then he could come out of the pit. We heard some one was coming and we rushed out of there. I sang the song and get on the donkey/ horse. I was coming home and people who came out were chasing me. Suddenly I felt the animal I was on was becoming small and it disappeared. Still I could hide and I was finding safer routes avoiding them. Then, I found two men on a car. They helped me to fleed and reach our home.( it was not my home though, unfamiliar building) I was asked to pay them for the ride and when my father tried to pay from online banking, his mobile phone company sent a messsaying he has to pay 2075/= as the phone bill. It was mentioned to pay him the bill before doing another payment. My father gave them purple color wigs as their payments as 500 rupeefor one. They had around another 2500-3500 with them. I saw they were calculationg money and they went to a night club to enjoy. I knew that the wigs my father gave were not authentic. I was looking at the night club from the second floor of a near building and when I saw them dragged out from the club because they couldn't pay, I immediately go there say sorry for them and pay them money. Our country 500 note is purple and i saw they had green color wigs representing 1000 green notes ;) then I woke up.

Dream

I was watching two of my friends were inserting a cannula into a patient in my home country. (I am a medical student, sri lankan, currently living in China). They were talking why I don't come often and I was telling that I am getting ready for the lisence exam, that's the only way to pass it in a one go. Then the scene shifted. I was looking for the friends of my mom, in Gampaha hospital where my mom used to work as a pharmacist for years. main drug store of the hospital is familiar to me and we were having a good chat, smiling. My mom's friends were appreciating me like always. Then, I came out of there and it was raining heavily. I walked along passages of wards and came out of the hospital. Since I know the hospital the scenes were very vivid. Suddenly I was walking with my high school friends and university friends in uniforms of my high school. It was raining and I was trying to overpass the uni friends who were talking and walking slowly. Because of umbrellas it was hard, and I couldn't go quickly. Then I saw we have reached the cemetery near my home. After passing the cemetery, it's my home. I wanted to go home quickly and tried to go by a grave. Suddenly i got trapped in to the ground. I can remember when I tried to come out my legs were hit by two three tombs. And I can remember a decaying mummy too. One of my high school friends too was with me. Hashini came and gave hand to her, ganguli. She could finally go a little higher compared to me. Meanwhile budhvin, one of my highschool friends tried to help me but he was so thin to drag me up. Then I was helping ganguli to go up first by pushing her so that both of her and hashini can help me to come out. Then I woke up five minutes before my alarm, 5.25 am.

Dream

Me and my family are eating pizza inside while a storm is happening. I really just wanted to be outside and play in the pool but I can’t. I’m trapped inside. Later my dream changes, I’m in my local city. I wanna go down the block but I don’t want to walk. I take a bus, but as I’m on the bus I realize it’s the wrong one. We’re going further and further away from where I wanted to go. I then realize I don’t even have a bus pass like everyone else. The bus stops far away from my original destination, I’m in a whole new city. I manage to get off the bus without anyone noticing. I’m wandering around thinking about what to do. There’s no one I can call to take me back home. I go into a gas station to get some food and be inside. I didn’t wanna be outside in the dark. I struggle to get food, everything is out of place or empty. I try to talk to people but they’re no help. I’m stuck here.

After we escaped with killed the Tron girl and everyone was free, Pikmin showed up which said they can stay because of a parasite no longer infecting them. I gave 2 people a big hug, a knight was one I really attached to but can't remember his name or what he looked like, I would wrap my arms around his arms and rest my head on his shoulder. I was then launched into the air or smth and I say a giant Elsa. I asked who the queen is now and they said Anna, and I said, "Anna has ice powers?" We then walked over to the kingdom with Elsa and climbed up a tree, the tree caught on fire and we were evacuating everyone, I stayed behind to help others escape and save someone sheep who I was stuck with in the loop, I saved the Pikmin as well. I then went into a house with the person who was helping me save the people, the sheep guy, and we were lost and couldn't find our way out, every exit was a false exit, I then found an exit after a long time and messing up the guy who kept us trapped
