Dream

Upvotes

Hi, this might sound strange, but the other night I dreamt about a vampire. I don't remember exactly where we met; I just know he was very handsome and gave me a code I could use to find him. I woke up immediately after he gave me the code and wanted to Google it, but I don't remember the whole thing—just the letter O and the numbers 010. Has anyone had similar experiences, or do I just sound crazy?

Dream implies that you are dreaming about a certain person but they look nothing like they do in real life

12 Upvotes

I always have these dreams about people where I know who I’m dreaming about but they just look like someone else probably some random person, but they can look similar sometimes to how they look in real life. sometimes the same person in a dream represents 2 people in my life as well. I rarely have dreams where people I know in my dream look like how they look in real life. Although I never see faces clearly or remember them clearly when I wake up , but I just know they didn’t look like they do in real life. Sometimes they’ll have a completely different personality too and almost represent a completely different person, does this happen to anyone else?

Dream Art My Adobe series, oil paintings

One watercolor. These are inspired by mysterious desert dreams I’ve had in the past. Adobe structures, similar to Santa Fe, were common, especially villages. The dreams were very archetypal and Jungian in nature, which led me to discovering the work of Jung in early college.

Question any one had reoccurring dreams of an apocalypse?

40 Upvotes

I had these a while back nearly every night dreaming of a different apocalypse situation. some with viruses with strange symptoms and ways they spread. ( one was spread through the non infected feeling intense emotion to be infected, very strange). the imagery in all was haunting though.

Does anyone have an opinion of what this could mean or why it was reoccurring?

is it normal that I sometimes dream about an ex (my first love)?

6 Upvotes

Sometimes I have dreams (not that often), nothing really happens in them, they just kinda remind me of the existence of that person from my past. Their face just kinda appears and that’s it. It’s been 3 years and I’ve moved on. Happens to anyone else? I always feel confused after, we have been in no contact for like 2 years and he’s with someone new.

When I was 14 years old , I had a dream that I was in a ship and I was tied with iron chains and there was a girl next to me in the same condition , and in front of me there was a man , he was hilarious . He was laughing and joking and I noticed that his trousers were folded on one side, and the other side of the trousers was unfolded , and suddenly came a dwarf pirate with a gun and shooting in the air , so this hilarious man and helped me and that girl next to me to run and then the dream has finished , I woke up feeling weird but I didn't think about it , after months I saw this man and I swear it's him , the same eyes and the way of joking and the same hilarious personality . Also I found out that he has the same habit as the guy I saw in my dream which is folding one leg of his trousers while the other leg is unfolded , can anyone explain what happened ? Or does anyone have the same experience?

Had knee arthroscopy today under general anesthesia. When I woke up, the first thing I said was, “Where am I?” I genuinely had no idea what had happened for a couple of minutes. Then I asked the nurse Why did you wake me up? I was having such a good dream

Atlantis Dream

Upvotes

Has anyone else ever had the dream of being a general on the island of Atlantis on the day of its destruction?

I keep having the most vivid dream. I can smell sulfur in the air as the oceans turn to acid and swallow the whole island. I run to the top of a lighthouse. When I get there, I look out over the island to see my people drowning in the acidic ocean. I hear a loud noise from behind me, and I am attacked by some kind of huge man-beast, and this is what thrusts me awake.

anyone else ever had this dream?

Or even better... anyone have an idea of what it means, and why I keep having it over and over?

Question Should I be worried? Is this real?

Upvotes

Yesterday morning, I woke up, looked up at my wall, and saw a large sea urchin looking bug climbing up it. I immediately freaked out and ran across the house to another room to get heI came back with a friend less than a minute later, and the bug was gone. This isn't a bug that could hide very easily. I've pulled all the furniture out and apart, searched all my blankets, and looked in every possible location. I have been horrified to go back to sleep until I know it's gone. I haven't slept since. It's getting to the point where I really need to sleep. I started thinking, could this possibly be a type of hallucination?I haven't been this paranoid in a long time, never like this. Please let me know if anybody knows anything about this. Thanks.

Included photo is the closest thing I could find that looks very similar, But the apparent Max size for these guys is only .4 inches, and I'm sure what I saw was Larger.

Nightmare theory of dream universe/world

Upvotes

part 1 i think that the dream world has there own like people like dream people a resemblance of real people with there own mind

part 2 so my post from earlier was just a scared post i made because i was so terrified so here's the start. i wanted to fix my sleep schedule because i was waking up at like 9pm everyday so instead of getting up i went to sleep and i had a dream i didn't know it was a dream until i woke up, i went to sleep again cause it was only 10 now, the 2nd dream i knew i was dreaming so i did random stuff and just had fun.

part 3 woke up again cause now it was 11

then i watched tiktok i seen a video where it said "things to never say to a dream person" So i had a great idea! (not great) went to sleep and then the 3rd dream i was with my friends and said "you guys aren't real" they started laughing and said in a sarcastic way " ooh he said it" then laughed again I just shaked it off and went back to doing whatever the hell then i looked at my friend and said "im a celestial being" he looked at me his eyes went black then he went back to normal a second later and that was it.

part 4 2nd to last dream. i kept trying to make them freak out with those phrases and then i woke up again still wanting to test out one more phrase "bring me your god" so i went to sleep...

part 5 last dream. it was a dark field with a tiny creek i walked around and ended up in a house it was a white layout that looked like my first home it was dark quite and lonely i looked around and walked in a room it was my moms room i looked around got sad then left the room i looked around more and someone walked up to me and told me there's only 3 walls in my house i looked and there was definitely 4 walls so i knew it was telling me i wasn't safe i woke up and immediately looked around it was dark so i pulled out my phone and saw it was 1am. we are currently doing renovation so my bed was in the living room 7 feet in front of me was my door the windows were all vanta black the hallway was dark Have you ever played fnaf 4? that was the feeling i was scared and alone so i let my dogs in and we layed down and i was fine after that was about it ill never forget that night

final part my hypothesis i feel as if the dream people were mad that i was purposely trying to scare them and make them freak out so they sent me to a dream that would make me never want to dream again and it worked.

Short Dream Only had one dream last night I can remember: I got a hug

8 Upvotes

And it was me being embraced for like 10 minutes by a person whose face I could not see. Right as I pulled back in the dream to get a look at him, he turned his head away with his face covered by his hair then I woke up. But he looked sad right before I woke up (at least his mouth did).

We were also, for some reason, floating above a beautiful coastal city at night in the dream. And the dream started with the feeling of me being yanked off my bed and dragged which was kind of thrilling I’m ngl (the dragging transitioned into a hug).

That was the whole dream. I don’t even think I need to interpret this one. I’n just lonely LMAO

I've been having dreams regularly for the first time ever, having had dreams for the last 3 nights in a row. Here they are.

3 Upvotes

Context: Throughout my whole life, on average, I have had on average maybe 1-3 dreams that I remember per year. These dreams usually have never heavily involved people or events from my real life, so that makes the following three dreams I've had in a row pretty interesting to me. I think it could potentially have something to do with the fact that I'm sober (Again. Pft.) combined with the big ass dose of magic mushrooms I took a few weeks ago. Anyway, the dreams, in the order I had them:

  1. Bugs. Foot bugs.

Whole dream was just me feeling pain in my foot, reaching down and seeing a black spot. Each time I saw a black spot I would pick a bug out of my foot that looked like something between a small black wasp and an ant with wings. After picking the bug out of one black spot, another would appear. I did this until eventually, one of the bugs I pulled out turned out to be a long worm about the length of my index finger, with a large round head (that I never saw except for under the skin.). I lost my grip on that worm and watched as it slithered under the skin up my right leg at an alarming rate. I told my mother what was going on, and she said she would get it out for me. I told her there was no hole for it to leave from, so she cut one in my leg and began to pull it out, which is where the dream ended.

  1. Smoking meth at the register.

Exactly what it sounds like. Some way or another, in this dream, I obtained a bag of meth. I then proceeded to go into the back room, grab one of the store's meth pipes that's meant to be attached to a bong, and started smoking it at the service desk. At some point in the dream, I had the realization, "Hold on just a fuckin minute now, I see my po for a drug test in two days." (I actually did have a drug test in two days. Went to it today. Came back clean. Still get paranoid before them for some reason.) and put the shit in my pocket after it cooled off. Waited for my mom to get there to pick me up, when she came, she went inside to use the bathroom and I sat on the floor and moved all that shit to my backpack, then went to the office bathroom and took a few more hits. Dream ended there.

  1. Whole store got taken over by my friend's friends because the indians tried to fire me but turned out to be tweakers.

I got fired because I wasn't at the store after my coworker went awol. Or something like that. Forgot that part already. I come back sometime after being fired and there's this indian man getting me a car battery who looks like fucking gollum from lord of the rings. I come back again later and it's ran entirely by random people who say they know my friend and indian gollum. They say my previous bosses ended up getting kicked out of the place because they were smoking meth all the time. Makes no sense, I know neither of my bosses are on meth, nor are either of my bosses on site of the store anymore, they are several hours away. But anyway.

Yep that's about it.

Short Dream Flying/Falling in a dream was so fun...

4 Upvotes

I loved this dream. I was falling from a great height and as I approached the ground I could see electrical towers below. There was a building and a roadway/walkway with some people on it.

Then I thought I wonder if I can flap my arms to glide down. I did that and slowly landed on the ground. I looked at some people that were close by and thought I wonder if they know or can do that.

I'd never flown before but I really enjoyed it.

Nightmare Distrusting sexual dreams

2 Upvotes

Throwaway account. trigger warning for incest, heavy sexual themes, sexual trauma

I’ve been heavily abused as young as my memory goes. I have cptsd and osdd due to the trauma I’ve gone thru. I often have very disturbing dreams, which can be other than sexual, like apocalypses, tornadoes, catastrophe events, military, being in war, and then sexual ones. I went thru sexual abuse by my father, many child on child sexual abuse instances as well. All my life, my existence has inherently been sexual. I’ve come to realize recently once starting therapy that my sexual dreams happen more often than I thought. I’d like to say tho that my sexual dreams nvr scare me, I’m not disturbed by them. They don’t affect me. I’m heavily dissociated and have the inability to rly conceptualize that wat ive gone thru and the affects negatively affect me. I only consider something a nightmare if it genuinely scares me in my sleep or I am startled awake. Anything else no matter how insane it is is just a dream. And I carry on with my day like it’s nothing. My therapist told me that that’s kinda a high standard to interpret my dreams as. And that a disturbing dream of the nature I describe is a nightmare even if it doesn’t affect me. Imma post the one I had last night here and see wat others think.

AGAIN this is very gross stuff so beware. I personally find it hilarious, how I wrote it in my notes app to remember to write it in my journal was pretty funny personally. But yeah

Dream:
As far as I remember it started with my grandfather fucking me doggy style. I was into it in the dream ofc. I mean rly in these dreams I think it’s a sexual part (alters in osdd system) like Maria or someone I’m not aware of. I’ve nvr as far as I’ve remembered had a sexual dream of pawpaw (my grandfathers nickname, he died when I was in 2nd grade, I’m 20 now). His dick was long and huge, lots of snapshots of “admiring” it, he was 6’ 6” after all. Maybe it’s tied to the fact of when he was sick in the hospital I was in 2nd grade and he was in a hospital gown lying on the bed and I curiously peaked in between his dress and he snapped at me and yelled not to look there but I saw his balls and his flaccid dick but not a lot of details it was quick (this is a real memory, not part of the dream). Anyways I was riding him, grinding on him, just having a bunch of sex. He would say things to me, seemed like a gentle lover. Tho I don’t think a 67 yr old man could rly be any other way (generalization). He admired me, I was a slut for him. As I usually am in these kinda dreams. Then some stereotypical porn star Asian girl was there, she was a virgin, was all flustered, very petite. My irl gf was there, it was our job to prepare the girl to get fucked by my grandpa. My gf would touch her breasts she’d protest in that typical pornstar hentai way, there was a view of my gf climbing on top of the girl and my gf was naked, her ass up and arched, she looked beautiful. then I think I switched and I was masculine (Nick?) I had my same body but I was a man, and I wanted to eat the girl out, so I climbed on top the girl and yanked her shorts down, it showed a view of her vagina, typical porn vagina, small button clit, symmetrical folds, innie not an outie. I nvr got to start cuz then I think the dream ended or my gf irl was shifting around in bed and it woke me up. There was a scene of my parents room back at the old townhouse and pawpaw was laying on my moms side, back to the door, and when I came in he looked over his shoulder at me. And then I was in their bathroom but I don’t remember the context of it.

The end.

For context my grandfather nvr sexually abused me, there was nvr any connotations of sexual behavior from him. He just had a bad temper, so u had to be careful around him. Other than that I loved my grandpa. So yeah, like I said very weird shit, my mind has always been like this tho so i dont know how this might be interpreted by others

Recurring Dream Recurring apocalypse dream

Post image
102 Upvotes

This is one of the recurring dreams I used to have.

No dream has ever scared me as much as this one. I think what made it even more frightening was that it kept repeating.

The dream always takes place in my own house. At first, everything is completely normal. Then, without any explanation, everyone around me suddenly disappears. As this happens, I find myself walking toward the balcony. It happens the same way every time.

When I step outside, the sky is always pitch black. Then a massive explosion tears across the sky, as if the sky itself has split in half. A gigantic planet, glowing in shades of red and purple, emerges from the opening. It looks like the end of the world. Everything starts being pulled toward it, gravity seems to stop working properly, and reality itself feels like it's falling apart.

At that moment, I see a UFO in the sky. This detail is important to me because I occasionally see the same UFO in other dreams as well. But in this dream, while everything is happening, it just stays there, perfectly still, as if it's watching me.

I don't run or try to hide. I just stand there, unable to take my eyes off the planet. It feels both breathtaking and absolutely terrifying at the same time. I haven't had this dream in a long time, but strangely enough, I wish I could experience it again.

Has anyone else had recurring dreams like this, where the exact same events happen every time?

Long Dream A dream where I died, was partially embalmed then came back to life.

Upvotes

Last night I dreamed I was in a medical lab, with a handful of other people and doctors and nurses. I was dying of some unspecified reason. Me and the others. There was no cure.

I was laying face down on a bench with my head hanging off the end. I could feel life leaving me, draining out from my feet to my towards my head. I had a phone call with my family to say goodbye.

Then I died, and the medical team started filling my body with a cold liquid, maybe formaldehyde but when my veins were full to my neck, I came alive. Much to the shock of everyone. I was alive, though my body was fragile, being full of the liquid and I had to move carefully or I might die again.

I was kept in the lab and was a medical curiosity. I went viral on the internet. Memes were being made of me. People and reporters came to talk to me. My favourite band, Placebo wrote a song about me and had me in the video.

The whole time I could feel the delineation of my cold-liquid filled body and my neck/head which was normal. There was a lot more going on, like protesters outside the facility and a second near death scare. I remember being delighted at going viral, and being open to talk to anyone who wanted to meet me.

I wonder what it all means.

Faculty meets Severance

Upvotes

I've had a dream last night that was very much the Faculty crossed with Severence, basically it had a lot of elements from the latter and took place in an episode of the show, and it had an Invasion of the Body Snatchers type scenario with some of the members of the the Lumon Industries company being replaced by aliens who could mimic them, I specifically remember an alien doppelganger posing as me and trying to convince others they weren't an alien in various ways such as a 'blood test' which was a nod to the Thing, and I specifically remember Christopher Walken playing both 'Burt' and the alien clone version of him (the alien clone acts more forceful and at times comes across as menace) and there's a room with toys, specifically plushies of various animals including goats and sheep.

Short Dream My dog was taken by an angel

28 Upvotes

Unfortunately, I hardly dream unless I’m taking a short nap. Otherwise I tend to close my eyes and wake up the next morning.
A year ago I had to put my dog down as she was suffering from kidney failure. A few days after her passing I dreamt that I was in my backyard with her and a man that I can only describe as a very well known family friend. He gave off this comforting energy and had a wonderful genuine smile. He was like an old friend I had known my entire life. He said with a laugh “I tried walking through the side yard, but it was hard to get through all that” (the side yard was covered in thick weeds at the time)
He then took my dog by the leash and they happily walked off together. There was no sadness, it was a pure feeling of “see you later” like my friend was taking care of my dog while I finished up my chores before I can join them.
I’m not religious, but since then I’ve kept the side yard tidy just in case. I haven’t dreamed of her again since that night.
