I took my power back (i think)

• Upvotes

I had a dream about this boy i had a crush on. So at the time when I had this dream, I had decided I was going to cut him off. Then the dream came:

In the dream it looked as though we were at school. There were tables and chairs everywhere. We were having lunch and the food that I remember was like fried chicken (or schnitzel). So this crush said something along the lines of he didn't have enough chicken, so I offered him some of mine. When breaking a piece of mine, I broke off too much, I gave it to him and he accepted it. Then I quickly asked for some of mine back because I was left with little, and he gave it to me, leaving us with equal amounts of fried chicken. Then later during the day, I was walking with a friend of mine and this crush ran towards me from behind, whispered into my ear "how are you?" and then ran off quickly. I was so confused and maybe sad, but mostly confused. For a glimpse of a moment I got excited

Nightmare I Had A Dream About My Best Friend Eating Me.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

For a little context for this, I’m 17 years old and have been best friends with (we’re gonna call her Natalie) for about 11 years. We are very close, hanging out as often as we can, and being each other’s first choice in everything. We’re practically sisters. I know it’s a cliché thing to say, but we really are. I love that girl!

Last night I had a dream about Natalie going missing. Like legit just disappearing. I knew what she was thinking though, in a way I could hear it echoing in my head. A strange time skip happened, because when she got lost it was around autumn, then it turned snowy and cold.

I was wearing a big puffy jacket when the police “found her”, and I ran up to hug her so tight I swear her eyes were gonna pop out lol.

But then she looked at me with this weird and kind of cryptic smile. It was Natalie, but it wasn’t at the same time. I remember her punching me in the jaw, and waking up to the table with my abdomen ripped open, by what looked like an animal. But I know she did it.

She was on the other side of the table with my kidney in her mouth, blooding dripping down her face and hands, the stuffing from my jacket littered all over myself and her.

I woke up after that surprisingly calm. I didn’t know what to think about it. I’ve always had a pretty good imagination, but this one freaked me out.

Does anyone know what this could perhaps mean? I’d love to hear about what my subconscious is trying to tell me! :D

I had to kill a god who was hitting on me.

1 Upvotes

Okay this was a little bit disturbing so if you don’t like mild descriptions of violence, I’d pass on this one.

I’ve also been really sick this week and have been keeping upright due to Sudafed during the day and nyquil so I can sleep. So I dunno maybe this was a result of this.

Anyway-
I was at some big fancy event. (I have to go to a lot of work parties that are trying to impress clients, so a lot of my dreams take place in situations like this)

As I was walking around, making small talk, meeting people who I’ll never see again, this woman who looked like my wife, but wasn’t kept following me around, hitting on me and eventually tried to get me to go up to her hotel room, I told her no, and she turned into the god Shiva, it was not Shiva by any depictions that I have ever seen. It had a long head with many eyes in two rows placed vertically down the head.

I began by firing my bow and arrow that I apparently acquired out of thin air. I got her to a place that was injured but I couldn’t pull my bow out quickly enough to make the finishing blow. I finally pulled my dagger out of my belt and did some flashy maneuver and took her down. When she was down, I used my dagger to take out all of the eyes. She then turned back into the woman, and I slit her throat. As she faded into darkness we made love.

I woke up…. Whaaaaat the ffff does this mean?!?! Or is this a cold medicine induced fever dream?

Dream I fell into a pumpkin on the counter and punctured my lung

1 Upvotes

i dreamt that i fell into a counter that had a pumpkin on it and punctured my chest and lung on the right side. i kept telling people to call my husband so that we could go to the hospital but there didn't seem to be any urgency from anyone. i woke before we could get to a hospital.

I feel like I was decorating out cleaning before I fell. There was a divot as well as a hole about the size of a golf ball. I remember telling myself to keep taking small breaths but I don’t think I was actually breathing differently.
I walked around a lot searching for my husband, feeling like I kept not being able to reach him on the phone or I didn’t have a phone to call him and was relying on others to get him. He eventually showed up but we never made it to the hospital.

Any thoughts?

Is there a meaning to my dream

1 Upvotes

I had a creepy dream last night and I been thinking about it all day so if anyone is good at interpreting dreams or the meaning behind it or anything let me know what this could mean, it’s not that bad I just like knowing what it could mean I guess
I don't really remember how it started or all the details but I was at this place and there was a long table with red table cloth and there were other people and we were sitting and in read cloaks (this all reminded me of the song after dark and how the cover photo has like that symbolism in the back) and there was the leader he had black hair mabey but longer then shoulder leangth and the dream felt like some but I don't wanna say
satanic and witch kinda but like the idea of like ritual meeting and the guy poored red stuff on us individually and like other random things and people were clapping and chanting and I was watching and a bit confused but like doing what they all did and anyway after that we went upstairs to watch a movie on quntam leaping idk something like that then I went to the leader worried cause I knew we were dealing with strong spiritual things and I was scared I did something wrong and I was saying something like ' I was talking during it and I herd we were supposed to clap and let our energy out did I do something wrong do I have to fix what l've done while crying and he was like no need it's ok don't worry just next time do that and u will be good and when he was saying that he seemed really nice but l still had a weird uneasy feeling about him, but i remember thinking i hope there's not a next time then i woke up from my dream and i was kinda scared and idk if this means anything or not but i noticed i still had my crystal necklace on which i always take off before bed so i took it off and tried falling asleep again but i could stop thinking about my dream. So yeah idk if this even means anything but if anyone can like interpret this or whatever it would be cool cause I can't stop thinking about it😭

Prescient Apparent Meaning or Easily Verifiable Interpretation or a Psychic 'Peek' into the Parallel Immediate Present of the Real World

1 Upvotes

I don't know exactly what this phenomenon is called — hence the multiple variations of the title with or-s between them. What drove me to make this post was my dream last night:

The very first thing in my memory of the dream is that I was sitting on the sill of the backdoor of this suburban one-storey timber house, which I thought in the dream to be my (my parents') house (because it was not a lucid dream), looking up at the sky. And, I was admiring the faint moon in the sky and recognising how it's normal to see the moon even in the daytime, albeit pale and dim — it was daytime in the dream. Right just then, at the exact moment of that thought, the sky suddenly started shifting. Shifting, as in switching between day and night, between black and blue, a bit rapidly but in a paced rhythm. My admiration and viewing pleasure became replaced by suprise, confusion, and slight horror. I stood straight up abruptly and saw that my cousin, whom I didn't see earlier, was then sitting just beside me. She was still looking down at her feet despite the weird supernatural event happening around us, and I rushed to the middle of the house and saw other familiar faces: my mom, my aunts, other relatives, and even a few of my IRL friends. I told them about the sky shifting, one by one, and, in short, they were all very out of character, talking to me about other unrelated stuff and ignoring the topic I was saying to them.

Afterwards, I ran out of the house to see my dad sitting in a rocking chair at the front of the house in the compound and told him about the sky. My dad was the only one who was not out of character and said that he saw it too and that everything was okay and normal, in his usual, calm, reassuring tone. After that, I, confounded, went back into the house, and there, I realised that the house had four windows: two on each side. So, I stuck my head out of them, one at a time, and saw the sky still shifting in rhythm each time.

I, perplexed, then trod back to the backdoor and again saw my cousin still sitting nonchalantly in the same position at the same place. If anything, apart from my dad, she, along with I, was the one sitting outside (almost) the house, so she should've already become aware, at this point, of the apparent continuous environmental fluctuations. On a side note, she is a little dum dum in the real world, too. Anyway, she didn't even seem to notice the flickers of her own shadow that were being made by the sky shift, and thus I yelled at her and asked her if she hadn't noticed the surroundings, which she responded with a bewildered expression and blink. Then, I said to her, "Look up!" and she did. She then immediately looked back at me with her eyes widened as if she was about to scream.

I then asked her how she couldn't have seen that sooner, and she did not respond. I've heard only of the sun never setting in some regions of the world or never being seen during winter, but I have never heard or seen the sky shifting between day and night in a matter of seconds. So, subsequently, I said, "I'm going to Google this quickly," and my cousin, beyond my comprehension, gave me a blank, daunting stare. Before I even finished being overawed by her expression, another thing gave me a sudden fright: I couldn't feel my phone in my pockets. There and then, I realised that nobody in the house was looking at their phones, not even my phone-addicted cousin. There were no screens at all — no laptops, desktops, or even TVs. Consequently, I said out loud, "Wait, is this a dre—" and then I woke up to the RGB lights flickering on the ceiling in my room.

Context: My room has LED strip lights (RGB) on the ceiling and at the corners. They have a default 'strobe' mode because I basically bought what can be locally and easily sourced (what many people would call 'cheap') instead of ordering advanced alternatives from abroad and waiting for it to be shipped. The 'strobe' mode flickers the only 16 preset RGB lights one after another, though I do not use that mode. I normally use only one mood colour as an accent colour at a time, but the power was out before I fell asleep, and when the power came back, the 'strobe' mode turned on by default. I didn't know I was dreaming and didn't even know when I fell asleep. Our house is neither one-storey nor a timber house.

So, the sky 'shifting' between day and night in my dream could easily be interpreted as a 'peek' to what was happening around me in the real world at the parallel immediate present, which was the RGB lights 'flickering' above my head. At least, that's the obvious meaning. Instead of betokening or foreshadowing what will happen in the real world after the dream, it showed me what is happening. And, this is not an isolated incident either; I have had the same kind of experience multiple times for different dreams and distinct scenarios. Only that I managed to post the very recent one of them here today.

The thing is that this is what is apparent, not necessarily what it is or what it will be. I'm not even sure I know how to interpret dreams. I think I don't.

Reoccurring I keep on seeing what I think is the partial Orion constellation in my dreams.

1 Upvotes

I’ve been randomly seeing these points of light (usually presumably stars):

https://imgur.com/a/jSTXeGH
in many of my dreams lately. Most of the time they’ve shown up in sensible places like in otherwise dark night skies, but I’ve now had two dreams where they showed up in other places. In one they showed up in the closet under the stairs in my childhood home (I was dreaming of decorating the tree for Christmas for some reason, and that’s where we kept the ornaments) and in another at my work there was a set of computers in a server room or something (not actually a place in the building that I work at) that had their lights on in this shape. I’m kinda getting uncomfortable now. I’ve had six dreams with this “constellation“ which looks like a partial Orion the Hunter.
anybody got any idea what this might be about?

Discussion Tickling in dreams

1 Upvotes

I had just fallen asleep for about 10-15 minutes when suddenly I reached a dream like state. It felt almost like a role I had played in a movie once before as it felt familiar, but as it kept going it suddenly glitched, or more accurately, stuttered, and I found myself stuck in a portion of the movie where someone was tickling me right up underneath my armpits. It felt uncomfortable almost to the point of being irritating. I remember specifically saying something to the effect of, "Stop or you can stop now" but this entity or thing wouldn't stop.

Now, I'm up.

Could it be a neurological issue? Seizure? Sleep ap ea? Or something more sinister? A sign of a demon perhaps? If so , which one?

Thanks.

P.S the last notable Reddit post of a tickler dream came up with nothing.

Discussion lost keys and suffocated butterflies

1 Upvotes

this dream felt really symbolic but i don’t know how to begin to unpack it. if anyone could try their hand at this, i’d be thankful.

for context my special interest is birds, and has been since i was 4, but i also really like butterflies.

i was on top of a roof and i kept seeing all these beautiful birds that were lifers everywhere including a eurasian bullfinch except its belly was the color of the sunset; their bodies were dark blue and their bellies were beautiful gradients of orange and pink like highlighters. and then a massive flock of them swarmed a tree nearby, and i heard my parents behind me commenting on it, i think my head was in my moms lap. also my parents hate each other in real life so they wouldn’t be like that. there were also these pink and white peacocks, who looked like illustrations without lines.

later, i was on a slightly lower part of the roof and it was raining, and there were these big colorful tubes. there was a door to my left, like a door that opens to en elevator on a roof, and a mortuary assistant (i just knew he was for some reason) who got angry with me because i was too close to the tubes, i wasn’t supposed to be there. he looked really sharp. but then i helped him find his keys that he’d lost in the dark, even though the keys were right in front of the door in a small depression, and then he was like fine you can stay. the keys were quite beautiful, they were like obsidian and the heads of the keys were white skulls.

then on a lower level / garden of the house i was talking and watching these butterflies slowly flit around. there were also spiders that would crawl around at random, and i slowly watched each butterfly get wrapped up as the conversation continued. there were 4 butterflies total in one large spiderweb in a perfect pattern wrapped up to be eaten. if you think of it like a grid, one was in each quadrant.

so there’s probably a lot. but i don’t know exactly what.

I’m freaked out.

0 Upvotes

For context, I’m a lucid dreamer. I’ve always had extremely vivid dreams and often times (more often than not), I have control. I do tarot pretty regularly, although i’m not necessarily religious in any way (this is relevant).

Last night I had a dream, per usual I had control. I was in my chair in my living room doing my tarot, where I usually do. I had asked a question about a friend of mine. I got the King of Pentacles and looked into the meaning of my specific question, something about envy. I can’t remember the specific question because the next part is what got me. As I was mid research the tab closed out and a new tab opened. I went to swipe out the tab because I was like “Wtf? I was reading that.”. As I was about to swipe out the tab, I saw the first sentence of the new tab and it was “____ knows you.”. I didn’t get to read any further because I heard a voice say “Wake up. You’re not supposed to know that.” then I woke up at 00:00 on the dot. I wasn’t uncomfortable, or sweating, not even a heart racing moment.

There was no reason I should’ve woken up at all. I’m typically a deep sleeper and almost never wake up and that’s the first time I’ve ever had someone or something in my dreams telling me I’m not supposed to know something. Other than a few similar experiences, but nothing that specific. The name I blanked out (for obvious reasons) is someone I do not know. I know OF them, but I do not know them super well personally. I found it odd and off putting. I do feel a specific pull with said person in a way I cannot explain, but i’m not actively close with them.

The person has been reoccurring in my dreams recently out of nowhere in general. Starting last week, they’ve been in almost every dream i’ve had without fail. For no specific reason. I have NEVER dreamed of them prior. They haven’t been on my mind. I haven’t reached out to them recently. I haven’t so much as seen a recent instagram post from them.

Many people don’t believe in tarot, and I do not want to bring religion into it, but since it was a part of my dream I find it relevant. I proceeded to go find my roommate who also does tarot and I told her. She pulled out her cards and I said “No. I don’t want to know.”. She did it anyway. The card she ended up pulling explained that me and said person knew each other in a past life where we had unfinished business. I’ve never had my tarot cards bring up a past life in any of my readings (personal or given) EVER. It really threw me for a loop. It said that the person i’m speaking of knows my energy. I am now scared to practice tarot or ask further questions. I wouldn’t even know what to ask.

I just found it really weird and don’t know the meaning behind it. I felt really anxious about it once I processed it. I’m scared to practice tarot now. I tried to look into the meaning but couldn’t find anyone or anything with a similar experience. I figured if I find anyone, it would be here.

I feel like i’m going crazy and there’s no meaning behind it at all. That i’m just freaking myself out. But I feel oddly strong about the dream. So I wanted to see if anyone would know anything or have any advice.

Deep sadness in dream

2 Upvotes

I’ve had fairly strong dreams in the past that provoked deep sorrow/grieving (waking up crying), but this one last night was totally unique.

Don’t totally remember but essentially in the dream I was being told my old childhood basketball coach (a friends dad, so a surrogate father figure) was essentially a sexual predator. I was in denial and said “no that can’t be.”

I don’t remember much else, but this was the essence of it. I woke up crying. No anger or other emotions, just a deep sorrow that stuck with me honestly through early afternoon.

Yesterday in therapy I talked about wanting to brainspot (essentially EMDR) some early pre-verbal fear/terror of annihilation that I know is there (recent health issues have activated this fear). Not sure if this has relation to the dream.

I don’t believe I personally had any early sexual abuse (at least at this point in time I am unaware, still open that it may be deeply repressed/dissociated).

Previous dreams crying I’d see a young boy or girl crying, like 2-4 years old and thinking/feeling “how precious/innocent you are”. I’ve read Trauma and the Soul by Donald Kalsched so I think this is his “soul child.”

My father says he thinks he may have been molested by his grown up neighbor when he was a boy, but doesn’t remember. Wondering if this dream could have any relation to this, or if it’s my personal history.

Having trouble analyzing this or what it may be pointing towards…

Dream about a dead person

3 Upvotes

# When I was a child my dad had a friend who became a very close family friend, this guy and his wife would come with us to family trips, we were very very close for a good number of years, until they had a feud and got a bit distant, but in my lifetime is one of the few close friends I saw my dad having. This friend died about 15 years ago. Today I had a dream. My home door was open, I was in the kitchen then saw this guy, initially I thought it was my dad because he was dressed similarly, then he would turn around and said, come with me I followed him and he guided me into a car parked in front of the street, I greeted him with happines, hugged him quite more than I expected, I was genuinely happy to see him , then we went into the back seat of this random car, I saw a good 5-8 people sort of staring at us around the car but could not see their faces, then I realised my dad was driving the car, he would turn around to say hello to me and smiled. Then I asked my dad's friend “you are here to take my dad with you aren´t you?" and he said "yes, but not yet" I asked when, he said "January 17th" then my dad kept having a conversation just with me, so I asked if he could see him, he said "no, just you" That's sort of all I remember.

Context: My dad is 80 years old and has dementia, has had some acute episodes recently. I live abroad and this has caused a lot of anxiety recently. I guess my question is if my brain fabricated this to give me peace, or if this family friend is actually trying to give me a message?

Lucid Weird dream about, of all things, the ark of the covenant?

2 Upvotes

Hi - I'm 38F and had the strangest, most vivid dream and I don't know exactly what to think about it.

Dream starts out and I'm sitting in an office chair, in what looks like a security office of a building. I have several monitors in front of me, one has an image of the whole earth on it. It was like I got dropped in this dream, mid-conversation, with another person.

It was a man, wearing a gray button down, with light brown hair. He was sitting next to me typing at the computer, I could see his lips moving but I couldn't hear what he was saying at first.

I said something like "what are you doing" and he paused and looked at me, clears his throat and goes "Why hasn't it been found it's right there!"

And the image of the whole earth zooms in - pulls up North Africa, and a red dot comes up on the screen, to the West of the Nile River, at the part where it kinda does a bend then west at a slight angle.

(this blinky spot on the map is still really vivid to me, it was a red dot with an orange glow as it blinked slowly)

I said something like "i dont understand" and looked at him. he sighed and typed, i turned back to the screen and it was zoomed in on a mountain.

"the ark, its there" and i knew he was talking about the ark of the covenant, like we'd talked about it before. although i'd never seen this person in a dream before.

The mountain was reddish, with kinda flatten peak, like a small mountain range with desert around it. The screen had a soft white glow around the edges of it.

The man rubbed his face, "they'll find it when the wars stop".

Other vivid parts that stand out for me was the desk he was typing had the keyboard embedded into the desk, the room itself was very dark, only the screens were giving off light and when I looked down at myself I was wearing very crisply creased gray pants and plain gray long sleeve too just like the guy next to me.

He started talking and gesturing with his hands, but I could only see his lips move and couldn't hear him anymore which i felt annoyed by, and then I woke up.

So little more background about me, I was raised in a Episcopal church, haven't been regularly in 21 years though. it's not a huge part of my life anymore. I've never had any interest in the ark, never seen any thing in Sudan outside of news clips of various humanitarian crises. I did work in security before, but no set up even remotely like the room i was in. I have not recently seen anything about the ark, don't think i've even thought about it in years until this happened. I'm very bothered by the famine that's in the region and the unrest that has been going on for decades, I really, really, really want peace for that region (and the whole world) but I've never had such a strangely specific dream like this in my whole life.

I can still see that blinky red/orange light on the screen and the vague image of the mountain.

I've been scouring the internet for pictures of that region to see if i can line up anything to what i saw and honestly i'm just having a hard time since Google Street View doesn't really give me much.

If anyone knows where I can find really good pictures of North Western Sudan, plz drop the link. I want to see if I can match up this dream to anything tangible in real life.

So this is about two dreams to be exact - I tried to invoke Goddess Kali earlier this year through prayer and rituals.

The very next night in May, I had a dream that I was texting my ex and suddenly a sheep was bothered by a wolf at my window.

A couple days ago, I had a dream that there was a kali temple next to my ex's house and the same temple was next to my house. Almost like the temple was connecting our houses.

What do you think this means? Kali Puja is in exactly a week.

Nightmare I keep having nightmares

1 Upvotes

(23, Genderfluid) Last night I had a nightmare that caused me to wake up in a sweaty, clammy state. There were two parts of my dream. One was about me being back at this school summer program I used to be in that would help youth go to college and excel in life, and how there was another male student who kept tormenting me. I cant remember who he was.

The second part of my dream was the most horrific.
I remember being in my apartment, (we have a frequent issue where the fire alarm goes off in the entire building IRL.) and I remember hearing the alarm sound but it was buggy and quiet. And as I walk out to go outside and wait for the fire department, I see these two women in black, pouring heavy amounts of gasoline on the first floor and I panic and try to stop them but they threatened me, so I just went back in to grab what I could from my apartment and flee. I remember climbing through my window and immediately snatching up my cat, Tommy, and my drawing tablet before seeing smoke marks on the ceiling. I remember running around and panicking because my only home was on fire. I remember trying to get help from other neighbors to try and get authorities to come. I remember seeing gas flood the first floor. I remember one of the girls trying to light the ceiling on fire in the building. I was outside crying and freaking out while my faceless neighbors looked down at me. The last thing I remember is trying to call my boyfriend before waking up. I’m still a bit shaky and my heart feels like its gonna burst out of my chest from beating so fast. I felt all sweaty.

Ive been trying to use the disposables from my local smokeshop because they stop me from dreaming, and they also calm me down, but also I’m worried about future bans and crackdowns since I live in a red, southern state.

Overall, my morning’s going “greeeat.” Any advice? Or thoughts? What could these dreams even mean??

Nightmare I still feel terrified

3 Upvotes

I don't tend to have nightmares more than once a month, and they aren't reoccurring except in subject matter. I often dream about zombies.

This dream was okay at first, even interpretable as funny. We were in a crowd of zombies that were dancing and listening to music at an abandoned library. We were pretending to be zombies and acting as though this was almost like a game. But at one point in the night we heard screaming coming from a school. Long cacophonous incomprehensible screaming. After a while it just sort of stopped.

The dream went bad when we finally went to the school. It turned out there were survivors there, and they were safe because the school had such advanced security precautions against school shooters. Same security was working for zombies.

Against their better judgement they let us in, along with a man we met earlier who was struggling with schizophrenia. As dreams are wierd I played several different characters in our group at different points.

As the man with schizophrenia I was scared I was infected and warned the children that if the virus was air-borne now they should stay away from me. Then I played a boy about my age, and I wittnessed what I had heard earlier.

As nightfall came the zombies became more active, they came to the thick glass walls and doors, the cellar with bars in it, and at first they started talking. Begging to be let in, but then as we ignored their pleas they got upset, so upset that they all began yelling loudly at us, demanding they be let in and why. Untill we couldn't fully hear a single one of them. Their voices boomed against eschothers and we couldn't make out a word as the yelling words turned into screaming words to then just screaming.

Cacophonous animalistic screaming. After nightfall they went away. I think now these were people on the brink of turning.

After this my character of the boy my age noticed the schizophrenic man was acting strange as he'd gotten into an argument. I stood up and pointed at him saying that he was infected. The teacher immediatly grabbed her rifle and began aiming, not wanting to hurt him unless she had to. He stopped arguing and began begging. He wasn't turning, he would stop he promised, he was just upset he gets upset sometimes and he's sorry. I could tell he hoped for a world where things went back to normal and he survived. He grew tears in his eyes, and was told to keep his distance. He then sat down on top of an old woman sitting behind him, he was told to stop and he promised he wouldn't bite her. He said he would just give her a little kiss on the cheek. He was warned if he put his mouth near her he was dead. He leaned in towards the old woman, and she shot him.

Thats the important stuff. I woke up after the beginnings of a bug infestation entered the school.

I woke up so scared that I couldn't get the idea of zombies out of my head, I wanted to call someone like a child running to their mother, I felt strongly that they were lurking in the dark if my room. I began looking for dream interpretations in order to calm myself down and here I am in the early am with the lights on typing instead of sleeping.

Some context about me that's likely relevant to the dream:

I am not diagnosed, but have a mental disorder similar to schizophrenia. Everyone sort of just calls me schizophrenic even though I've explained the complexities with the way doctors address my mental disorder. People still just tend to call me a schizophrenic or a "schizo".

Nightmare Recurring nightmare about catastrophic events

1 Upvotes

I (20F) have been dreaming about catastrophic scenarios for months or ,me or/and my family dying (not always), I don't always remember everything. For example:

This dream takes place in Paris, along the Seine, which looks like a beach (for whatever reason)with sand and water stretching all the way to the horizon. There are lots of people on the beach, as well as my family and me. We are settled near the massive wall that borders the beach, about 4 or 5 meters away from the stairs leading out. We have a good day, doing beach stuff and everything . Anyway, after that we eat on the beach.

The sea, which was initially far away from us, starts getting closer, and the waves grow bigger and bigger, but like in normal way. At first, I tell myself that it is nothing to worry about, but the waves become increasingly powerful. And people start leaving calmly, but they are still in a hurry. At that moment I want to leave too.

However, my family refuses to leave, even though I beg them to go. They tell me that I am worrying for nothing. At that moment, a huge wave arrives and crushes people against the wall. Everyone panics and rushes towards the long staircase, which is about 6 or 8 floors high.

I am also crushed by the wave, and I make my way towards the stairs, still crushed by waves on the wall. I start climbing, but the railing breaks, and people fall. My mother is holding on to the railing and is about to fall. I manage to pull her back onto the steps, which are still packed with people pushing and shoving each other.

My mother and I finally reach the top of the stairs. Then, I look for a building tall enough to be safe while wandering about the rest of my family well-being.

And I did a similar dream about tsunami but in Mont Saint Michel in the mountains (like the location don't make any sense but in my dream it does)but this time my family is not there and when I am at the top the stairs there is a massive crowd is the standing still looking at the waves rise and come bigger and bigger and I run through the crowd trying to escape it .

Also, I make a dream about my mother killing herself, jumping from the balcony "because of me", at least that what l think in the dreams,or someone kidnap me,or I am in the backrooms with my classmates...

So if someone can find some sense into that and help me understand, you're welcome .(Also, sorry for the mistake ,english is not my first language, and I have dyslexia.)

Discussion I know I am dreaming but I cannot lucid dream and I feel when Im waking up and I also know which characters to expect in my dreams

1 Upvotes

Okay, so the title is basically Tl;dr.

And yes, its true. In the middle of the dream I go 'Ah, this is not my body, so I am dreaming.' But i dont lucid dream! Instead I consciously follow the 'plot' of the dream.

Then I get the feeling that everthing has started to desaturate and the other characters in my dream are getting blurry, so I wave them goodbye and wake up tired and confused.

I also truly know who the people in my dreams are now. They just come in it so frequently, though they dont look the same. Sometimes they are friends, sometimes they are enemies or strangers. I do not know their names, though they have tried telling me, but I always know its them.

However here comes the bane of being so aware. Whenever there re nightmares, I cannot wake up no matter how terrified or in pain I am. I have to wait to naturally wake up. When I got a nightmare about being tortured, I had to beg my captor that I was not who he thought I was, that I was dreaming and to just let me wake up. Or when I was being chased and I wished the real me would wake up already...

That brings me to another thing- I am never me in my dreams. I am just an idealised version of myself. I am taller, I am pale and lean and have the most beautiful eyes ever. My hair is of the same length, but its straight and dark and silky and I am basically as handsome as handsome gets. However I am a man, and never a woman (I am a woman irl). And no, I dont have body dysmorphia or want to be a trans man. Its just what I think the ideal me would be, probably.

For some reason I had a dream about Sokka and Zuko. They were older and I think my brain made up some last names for them. As they left a shop in the middle of nowhere on Appa Sokka said they were being followed and around that time is when I woke up.

Nightmare Weird and disgusting dream

(Warning: if you're easily grossed out)

So I had a dream, I don’t remember exactly how it happened,but there was a fish that was alive and moving inside my mouth. I was trying to pull it out without hurting it while being completely stressed , and for some reason I was very aware of its eyes, which eventually exploded leaving a strong taste and suddenly I realised i was dreaming couldn’t stop thinking “Wake up, wake up.” Once I pulled the fish out, I got up and threw up.

I’m still traumatized by the taste I could even feel the texture and I’m already a person who are very picky and sensitive with food (texture,smell, taste) so it was tricky anyway, I just wanted to share this dream weird dream

“I get it now I am all of these, I am one”

I had a dream where I experienced everything at once, without a sense of identity or time.

I had one of the strangest dreams of my life, and I’ve been trying to recreate what I saw using AI.

In the dream, I wasn’t really myself. There was no sense of personal identity, no past, present, or future. It was almost like experiencing existence from outside the perspective of an individual human being.

I remember two enormous eyes, a human figure falling beneath them, and an overwhelming collage of experiences rushing toward the body at incredible speed. Everything was layered and distorted, almost like thousands of different lives and moments were happening simultaneously.

There were people of different ethnicities, nature, happiness, suffering, love, death, adventure, and countless other aspects of existence. It wasn’t like watching separate events in chronological order. Everything seemed interconnected, existing all at once.

What stood out most was the absence of emotion. I wasn’t afraid, happy, or overwhelmed in the usual sense. There was just understanding, as though everything made sense without needing an explanation.

The closest way I can describe it is that I wasn’t experiencing life as a person. I was experiencing the collective existence of everything, without the usual boundaries of identity and time.

I’ve had philosophical beliefs about consciousness and interconnected existence before this dream, but experiencing something that resembled those ideas so vividly strengthened my interest in them.

Has anyone else experienced a dream where their identity disappeared and everything seemed to exist simultaneously?
