Dream

I was running away from someone who was trying to kill me. In the beginning I believe, I was hiding in this dark red room waiting for a chance to kill the people looking for me. When I finally got that chance I took it, I don’t know how I killed him but I did, I ran out onto the street stole someone’s motorcycle and drove away. I knew people would be looking for me which is why I was running. Then it cut to me being in a large long classroom with all women. I was looking for them to protect me, they seemed to know each other better than I knew them. Then it cut to different scene, where I was now running away from killers again but this time there was multiple, and also others running away with me. The room looked like a classroom and in the dream I believed the killer that was after me was a teacher. eventually the other people in the room started disappearing until it was just me the serial killer that was a teacher and two killers that looked like students. I didn’t know how to get out of the classroom at the time so i was trapped, but got caught by the students instead. Suddenly, i have a film camera in my hand that they took and watched, which the teacher didn’t want them to do, so once he caught them he killed them and hung them on what looked like a fish hook. I believe it was evidence of him being an serial killer. After this I was the last one left. I guess I escaped cause i was running around the classroom again. he was taunting me, telling me id never find the way out. He told me that he sent the other kids to a better place, puerto rico, but he had actually hung them all on hooks. He said that I would never find a way out because the way he told me to get out, the classroom windows, were actually locked shut, but i ran over there anyway and tried to open 3 windows. They only opened half way, but my next thought was to crawl through before I woke up

Trapped

Dream

I took a few hour long nap, and dreamed of being an aquatic humanoid animal. Like a mermaid of some kind, but I believe it was more like a Japanese Yokai possibly. As I was able to turn to a human and enter civilization I ended up going somewhere and being caught and trapped, but a nice man with similar aquatic abilities saved me and set me free, and I woke up from there.

Dream

I use to have this dream a lot and it has never left my head. I’m older 22-25 I’m staying at my grandparents house (well where they use to live) I don’t know why I’m there. I’m outside on the porch and this little girl comes and grabs my hand…everything goes dark. I open my eyes I’m in a basement filled with plastic balls and stuffed animals Nobody says anything to me , I don’t see anyone but somehow I know I’m not allowed to leave and I’m trapped. I feel doomed but not scared. I can hear people looking for me but there’s no way out…and even though I could I don’t scream for help

Tree

Dream

Being trapped in a pressure pot. And feeling the air inside of me boil and rip me apart. Like being put into a vacuum chamber and trapped. Coming back alive to be boiled over and over again… I did manage to escape, running into a scary and run down neighborhood, my family and familiar faces had me trapped, and I had no other option but to run from them. They were shooting at me and fighting. I hid in a tree for safety until I could escape quietly. Only to be chased more

Yell

Dream

I was in a spacious fancy office building with people that had a nice size of a yard with a mini playground. Someone with me was looking for something with a code (like coding) and couldn’t find it. I went into another room trying to find it and came across 3 people that were trying to hide something. One of them handed over the code to me while the others were trying to run away. I caught one while the other was trying to trap me in the building. I kept yelling “open the door” as he was trying to barricade me in. I passed the sliding door and threw a man down in front of one of the people I was with. Another person I was with frantically screamed “it wasn’t him!” I woke up right after that

Taxi

Trapped

Dream

How do I even put this one into words? I was definitely trapped in my dream even if it wasn’t in the conventional sense. This dream took me through different scenarios and sequences each one becoming worst than the previous one. For example part of the dream my daughters went missing. Even though the dream did not wake me from my sleep there was a prominent feeling that I either wanted to wake up or at the very least the dram to stop. My dream did trick me into thinking the dream was finally over but it wasn’t the case. This reminded me of what I said in my last log with the train and taxi going everywhere but home.

Trapped

Dream

I was in the waiting room where I attend therapy, waiting for my therapist. She came out to welcome me and I got up and followed her to the room where we would be talking. As we approached the door she stopped to let me pass, I walked into the room first and saw my ex partner sitting in there. I turned around to face my therapist but she was gone and the door was closed. The room was not how it is in real life, it had no windows and the button on the wall to release the door was gone so I couldn't get out. He started to walk towards me, then went to grab me and I woke up. Remember feeling scared in the dream, woke up feeling like I was still there.

Piégé

Dream

A weird guy and his gf we’re having issue. I used him but also was kind in letting. Him know that the relationship with his gf won’t last. He can’t sustain it long term. He turned around glanced at me from the driver seat while in was in the passenger seat. Calmly said “yes it will” I didn’t get it. Thought I was odd but exited the car the. Endless of cards and him happened. I put me in a loop and trapped me there. He’s the only one who can get me out of it. Kidnapped me and fake kidnapped himself so I don’t know which version of him is real and which is the loop. I finally got it. If he couldn’t have his gf. I’m close enough so he’ll have me simply bc I was there and vulnerable enough. I don’t know how the dream ended but my mother pulled me out (woke me up) of it in the real world. Poetic.
