Could anyone interpret my dream for me?

In my dream, I was watching an unsolved crime documentary about a woman who was killed in her own house in the 1900s. One of the theories in the documentary was that she was stabbed behind by the mistress of her husband while he watched things unfold. Out of curiosity, I went to the original house of the scene of the crime with some friends and tried to solve the mystery behind the killing, but the ghost of the wife began to attack me. In retaliation, I defended against it while my friends did the solving of the mystery. It turns out that the wife was actually killed by the mistress and the husband to hide the scandalous relationship between them. I got badly wounded on my arm and hand.

I haven't really ever had nightmares before until now. A couple weeks ago, I had a dream about my sister being crushed underneath some sort of machine. I woke up crying and I was literally thinking that I need to check in on her to make sure she's ok. I didn't see her until around 7PM that night since she was at work, but I remember I was looking her over so I could make sure she wasn't hurt or anything. The next night, I think I had a similar dream, but I can't remember it. Then, a couple nights ago, I know I had a nightmare because I woke up crying. I don't remember what it was, but I'm getting somewhat irritated because nothing has happened to me that could cause me to have nightmares. Does anyone know how to stop this?

When I was young I had a recurring dream that I had hidden a body and was nervous to get caught. It was the only recurring dream I ever had that I’ve ever remember.

Recently , I had a different variation on the same theme . It’s so odd to me that this is recurring - anyone know what it might mean ?

can someone help? i keep having scary dreams where things or people keep trying to kill me. i had pretty mundane dreams before this, this started happening maybe a couple weeks ago. the recurring theme is something always tries to kill me, but the ending is always the same where i survive and make it out alive and ok. but it’s kind of unpleasant to keep dreaming about this so what am i supposed to takeaway from it

I took a nap this afternoon and dreamt that I died. I tend to have pretty vivid dreams and I think about them often but I have never woken up so scared from a dream.

I will try to include every detail.

At the beginning of the dream I was in my living room (where I was sleeping) trying on clothing. I was wearing a small dress that was a bit revealing and when I turned around I realized that my brother and brother in law were cuddled and watching me from the couch.

I didn’t want them to see me so I went into my bedroom and was looking at myself in the mirror but my bedroom door wouldn’t close shut. While I tried to close it, I noticed steam coming out of my closet and I thought to myself “is normal?” But the steam was getting worse and I realized that the ceiling was leaking.

I came out to my living room and everything was leaking and there was steam everywhere. I started thinking about what shoes I could grab to leave and where my dog was. I also had the thought that I should find my work laptop, but then decided they would send me a new one.

As I was thinking about what I would do, there was an explosion off to the distance but it rattled the room and I became immobile.

I was hearing ringing in my ears and at this point I started trying to breathe and relax because I was scared. Suddenly there was another explosion, but closer this time and the room started falling around me.

As I’m lying on the rubble, my TV is still up where it’s mounted and it catches fire and blows up. I then have this thought that I am dying and I start getting scared and begging not to.

As the realization that I am dying hits me, I am still thinking about where my dog is and then I also realize that someone will have to tell my boyfriend that I’ve died. I feel the life leaving my body, I let out a breath and I am not really scared, or anxious really but I just can’t believe it. I start to see a light I’m moving toward, then I wake up.

Would love to hear what someone might make of this.

Last night I had a dream where I put 10 metal nails in my leg. I knew someone suggested it to me but I don't remember who. It was meant to be benefical to my health, like acupuncture but extreme.

The nails were about 3 inches long and sort of thick. I pressed each nail into my leg and foot without needing a tool. There was minimal blood and it wasn't painful, and I was focused on putting them in 'right'. I did this on the edge of a tub in a bathroom that didn't belong to me (felt like a hotel).

After all nails were in, I went to sleep. When I woke up, I began taking out the nails while in bed. I realized I put the nail in wrong, or that it wasn't a good idea to begin with, because each nail left a bloody hole that I knew would scar. There was an awkwardly placed nail in my foot that I could feel rubbing against the bone. After removing them all I felt dissatisfied and a bit ashamed. Taking them out hurt more than putting them in and I couldn't walk normally afterward.

I told my older sister about the nails (who I'm not currently on great terms with in real life), and said she likes using them. But she usually has them put into backside instead.

My background: I'm a 29 year old black woman in the US. This week I've been stressed about my job and overeating (unhealthy food).

Curious about any thoughts... it didn't feel like a nightmare. Putting in and taking out the nails was so vivid, it was an interesting experience. Overall I slept very well.

My grandfather died when I was 12 from dementia. The last time he saw me, my hair was super short and I was very boy-ish. I am now 18 and more feminine than I have been in years. My dad passed from cancer when I was 16, and it was super hard on me. My mom has since got a new boyfriend.

In the dream, my dad was there in our living room and I was acting like he never left. We were talking about music and stuff like we always did but he asked to see his (my mom’s) room. We go there and he tells me about how my mom and her boyfriend have been sleeping in here, but he’s been in the living room alone. He tells me he misses his bed with my mom, that he misses how warm she was, but I don’t remember much else. My dad at some point leaves the room, but I later hear a crash and an “ouch!” I walk out and my dad had dropped something, but my Mema and my mom were there asking a man if they recognize them, to which he says no. I quickly realize this is my granddaddy when Mema pulls me over and tells me to say hi. He recognizes me, calls me by my first name that no one calls me anymore because I changed my name, and I almost broke down crying. He said I was beautiful and he was proud of me, he said my hair was so pretty and long and curly. We sit and talk for a bit, but towards the end of the dream my Mom and grandma say he has to go, so I write him a note that I think said “I love you so much, I am undeniably your grand daughter and I’m going to miss you so much when you leave” and he read it, chuckled and said “leave? Honey I never left.” And when I went to hug him I woke up alone and freezing. Can someone please give me some insight to what any of this means because I have been crying non stop since the dream and I woke up crying. Thank you so much for reading , have a good day <3

I just had the weirdest dream. My two long term exes had both died. One killed himself and then the other was shot in his home. I think my current boyfriend made a brief appearance, but still. It was a little jarring when I woke up. Is my brain playing tricks or could this mean something?

Dreamed of practicing with a wooden sword outside near my backyard at a previous home I lived years ago while feeling really determined for some reason. I was a little bit further away from its field of view and saw a black bear with its cubs where I was so I decided to walk back and then I saw my grandma bathing a black bear cub in a kids pool in our yard. I told her the family was near by so she should go inside to be safe. We both went back in and then she said “im sorry it was just so cute”. I’m pretty sure there was more but I only remember this specific part when I woke up. So I figured it must’ve meant something, maybe?

Before I woke up today, I had a dream that a man in a van and his family were stalking me and my family. The man had managed to break into our house at one point, to which I grabbed a knife and threatened him with it. He didn’t have the chance to hurt anyone while he was in the house, but he kept a close watch on us from our back yard, and his family was also close by watching us. If any door was opened, they would all try to rush towards it to get in.

This is kinda one of the creepiest dreams I’ve had in a while.

I’ve been having some odd dreams lately and last night I had a dream of trying to save a fish from dying. I was trying to get it to water and even filled a cooler up with water from our swimming pool. I live close to a stream but it’s down a bluff behind our house. I was trying to keep it alive long enough to get to where I could put it in the water. Could this mean anything? Last night me and my bf were having a tough time because his depression often has him acting in ways that frustrate me. I have a desire to “save him” if that makes sense.

Hello, I don't usually post my dreams, but I also almost never have nightmares and this one was concerning. Please help me interpret this.

It started fairly normal and I was at my house, on the computer. My parents told me I should hang out with my friends and I agreed. My friends and I went to the movies... For some reason, I got lost (and the building changed to more complex and different...) Finally, I found myself in a forbidden part of the building with a flashlight. It was dark and I could very easily feel tension, anxiety and fear. This part of the dream until the end felt so real.... Soon, I found myself at a dead end with a door marked '9' to my side. Slowly, I tried the door. Surprisingly it wasn't locked, but I wish it was. On the other side of the door, there were long dark hallways on both sides... And a few scattered dead bodies lining them. There was a small shuffle from inside the area. Terrified, I closed the door and ran back up the stairs, nearly crying and almost had a panic attack when I ran into someone. This someone was a friend I have irl (or close acquaintance, not exactly a friend yet. I do have a tiny crush on him). Idk why he was there, but me, being scared out of my mind, hugged him and told him what I found. Surprisingly, I was thinking clearly as if I was really there. I wondered why he was here and going down the stairs I was coming up... Towards the forbidden area. I became scared, wondering if I could trust him or not, but I soon trusted him enough to leave the building. From what I can remember, we notified the police and I was convinced he was not untrustworthy. The dream then ended where it started, with him and I at my home with my parents.

hello, i need some guidance and help deciphering what these dreams mean. i left my abusive ex back in 2019 and have not spoke to him since. i’m happily married now but alone this year i have had more than three dreams of my ex trying to shoot me or hiring people to do it.

the most recent one i had just last night was a series of random strangers hired to kill me. somehow i managed to have conversations with these individuals mid-attempt and each one referred to him by name and followed with “hired us to do this” and sometimes that he was “watching behind the corner”.

a time before this, it was my ex himself doing the deed while we were trying to out run him in local traffic.

to me, they all feel very realistic and take place in buildings that i have been in or part of the valley that i still reside in.

if anyone could help assist me that would be amazing. i truly do not like the fear that it instills in me.

all i remember was the end of the dream, the knife she held touched my belly a little and i woke up.

wtf is that supposed to mean ?

I just had one of the most frightening dreams where I think Lucifer himself tried to visit me.

Starts off with devil trying to get my brother by putting all these markings over his body. Myself and I believe my mom tried washing the marks away as that was the way to break the curse.

Then, it was like he saw me trying to break his curse and he became mad at me. Saying that I deserved to go to hell. Started hurting a friend of mine bc I refused to go. Wrote writings in my carpet trying to scare me. I can’t remember what the writings said. He lit one of my friends on fire, I went outside to help but ended up trying to take all the kids that were outside, inside. I wanted them to go inside with my little brother and stay in the same room as him for protection. It was like nobody had just seen this random man running around on fire. As if I was the only who could see it. Two of the older kids insist they stayed outside, I went back inside to tell my mom and she came outside and made them come in. After that, the devil started trying to make compromises with me. Bargained that it would best if I went with him and that he just wanted to talk. I still was refusing to go. At this point, he tried forcing me to go. But I was still fighting the best I could to not go. Which was making him mad? Persistent? I woke up shortly after..

Someone please help me interpret this🫠 I don’t have a lot of dreams of “the devil” himself trying to torment myself or my family.

I will say, when I was younger I did a lot of shit out of ignorance and being misguided. When I got older and became more self aware and understood how my upbringing played a part, for years now I’ve tried walking a path to being a better person and remaining a safe space for any and everyone around me. Including myself.

Hiii, so this is a rather strange one. I’m 27/f.

My dream begins with me planning a date with someone I went to primary / high school with. I was not close with this person then or now. However, they have appeared in other dreams as a romantic interest. I am unsure why because I never had a crush or had anything but neutral feelings toward him.

This boy tells me he’s into shark mouth diving. Apparently, this involved swimming into sharks mouths. I’m aware that this makes absolutely no sense.. Anyway, his idea of a date was to do this with me. In my dream I wanted to impress him by doing it. But I spent a long time worrying about it. Whether it was safe & whether the sharks mouth would close. He demonstrated for me, assuring me it was very safe. Sure enough, the shark was docile & the boy came out without so much as a scratch. In the dream, I pondered a bit longer whether this was a good decision. I also feared that other sharks might come & attack us.

I believe I woke up at this point. What a bizarre dream. Does anyone have a clue why I would dream about this? Maybe there is no meaning but it’s so strange I couldn’t help but to ask.

Thanks :)

Hello. I’ve had a dream last night that was rather simple. I was arguing with someone in my life I don’t get along with and they frequently disrespect me and accuse me of doing things they do in reality. My relationship with this person doesn’t really matter but just wanted to give some preamble to the situation. Also I cannot just cut this person out of my life btw they are a part of my life and. I cannot control that.

So on to the dream.

This dream has me in what I think was my bedroom and possibly my house. I walk from my bedroom into a room that doesn’t exist in my house and I see the person of interest here. We start arguing and some things are said that I can’t really remember being that it’s a dream. But it aggregated me enough to spit on them in the dream like a quick tuah and spit right on the persons face and I left that room and walked back into my room and laid down in my body/bed again and woke up.

I mean clearly this is a sign of disrespect deep enough to involve my soul at this point but I don’t think I would spit on someone in real life so I’m just trying to figure out some more information on this because it seems like such an odd result in one of my dreams because I just can’t picture myself spitting on anyone.

Hi, I don’t often post to Reddit but I’m looking for thoughts on my dreams.

I haven’t had one of these in a while, but for a period of time I was having multiple dreams in which a person (either someone I knew, or sometimes someone I didn’t recognise) would stop and ask me if I’ve checked my hands yet? I would wake almost immediately after looking at my hands. In the most recent I noticed they looked very strange and I stayed a little longer.

I remember feeling a particular discomfort recalling these moments when I woke, because in my dreams these people would seem to stop ‘playing a part’ and stare right into me, not blinking, like they were breaking character for a moment and talking to ‘me’ instead of the me in the dream.

I don’t know a lot about lucid dreaming, I’ve never really attempted it, but when I’ve mentioned these dreams to friends their reactions said being told to look at my hands was significant to learning how to lucid dream. This happened at least 3 separate times that I can remember.

I’m wondering if this is common? Could my dreams be trying to teach me how to be lucid or force me to wake? And why when I’ve had no knowledge or interest in it before? (If anything, I’m honestly kind of scared of trying if it means more encounters like this) Is there a significance to having someone stare at you and ask if you’ve checked your hands?? It feels weirdly specific to have happened this many times.

Had a dream of seeing a fast green turtle (size of a volleyball) run across my walls at home and I was scared. I called on a family member to kill it but they couldn’t hear me. So I went ahead and caught it. I held it between my hands and looked at its face, which was both funny-looking and scary at the same time (it’s tongue was like that of a snake but it’s overall face looked very cartoonish). I made sure its tongue didn’t touch my hands while I was gripping it hard. After starting at it for a long time, I threw it to the family member who said will kill it and eat it.

I 17F as mentioned in title had a dream about a kidnapper. I was visiting my old school when suddenly there was chaos allover. Im a part of a trio. From that trio, lets say, my friend abc was running as fast as she could and i was just a few steps behind her, running with her, just a few more steps back was my another friend. Lets say, xyz. As soon as abc got inside a classroom she immediately sat with the other kids (6-7yo) inside as she was very scared and was panting. I was waiting for xyz and as soon as she stepped inside the classroom i immediately shut the door. Just as i shut the door, the lady started banging on it. She had a huge knife with which she was scraping the door. She kept banging and banging tried to break the door but i had held the knob so tight i didnt let it move. She kept pushing the door towards me to break it and i put all my strenght into it and pushed it back, to her side, so the door doesnt break. The adrenaline rush in me was so weird, it was like i had turned into a very strong being as there was no one else helping me keep the door. Xyz was standing behind me just stunned and abc was sitting w other kids. The kidnapper cursed at me and gave up after 10 mins. She walked to the other classroom to bang on their door. I finally got relieved but i knew that the kidnapper might take advantage of it and bang again so i stayed put and held the knob very tight.

Just then, i woke up. My body felt limp and weak. It felt like, i was holding that door in real life. It felt like i had lost all my strength. I was shaking. Can you please tell me what this dream means?

I was in a neon pink tent and was sitting across from Luke skywalker and leia but they were the lego versions and then after that I was sitting with my grandpa and watching the sky. Then I woke up

I’m curious if anyone has experienced anything similar or can explain this.

Every time I nod off briefly, I find myself having the same “micro-dream”. I’m in my grandma’s dining room, it’s very hazy but I know it from the table and wood paneled walls. I know there are people there with me but I don’t know who. And the sound! I’d know the sound of this dream anywhere. It sounds like a an old tape recorder of someone talking, but it’s muffled and I can’t distinguish any words.

And the weirdest part is the physical sensation I experience. It’s so hard to describe, it feels like a word that’s on the tip of my tongue but I’ve been having this dream since I was a child and have never figured it out. My best description it- it feels like when your hand falls asleep, but also like play-doh that’s a bit dried out, but there’s also something hard about it.

I only experience this when I drift off briefly and am either awoken or jolt myself awake.

Thoughts please?

I had a dream that were having fun with my friend we do selfies, and suddenly a homeless came and sit beside me, he do pose too like peace sign and smiling so wide, after that he talked to us if we can take a photo of him so i grab the phone a take a photo of him, after a 2 shot of him he wants to see what the photo looks like, i let him see it "he was happy when he see himself smiling in the photo" then he started tell a story that he was dying cus he was vomiting blood and pooping blood. He thank us cus finally someone took a photo of him and its like a bucketlist then i started to cry so bad and no one can stop me he just thank me cus i did the 2 bucket list of him someone cry when his gone cus everyone ignoring him in his entire life because he is a homeless man i dont know when i wake up theres a tears on my eyes like i really cried

Hello(23M) I am a deep sleeper so I rarely dream let alone dream about something so I was in my own bedroom my eyes opened to see a crow flying around at my rightside near the table next to balcony door and I caught the crow to let it go outside through the balcony I caught it like a baseball to throw it out from the balcony door but as I was leaning in to throw from balcony I saw on the rightside a crow a size of a scooter or bike but it was big and majestic like it had moon behind it's head standing on a tree and beak towards right side maybe looking at me and the crow on my hand gone outside and the dream stopped.

Can anyone please tell me what does it mean?

I never had dreams for a long time and this is the first dream I had.

I just had this dream and it ended abruptly because someone woke me up. The dream started in a school setting, eerie and dark, we were led to the auditorium because there was going to be a guest speaker. The head mistress of the school walked inside the auditorium ended up being a demon and introduced Lucifer as the guest speaker. I don't remember much of his speach but at some point during the speach, he broke into song and it was now like a musical. He sang about numbers, something like 676777 or something similar. He said that if I wanted to go to heaven then I should put my hand on top of my head and say those numbers. Before I was woken up, he looked at me and stopped singing, then he said a lot of numbers that I couldn't memorize in time. A single piece of paper flew down the hallway in my dreams before I woke up. I'm not the religious type but my family is very religious. This is the first time I've ever dreamt about Lucifer.

hey so i've been having, as the title says, weird dreams everyday of the week and lowkey its starting to freak me out. they're not about anything supernatural, but they're about people that are close to me and sometimes about situations that could actually happen.

this started after my best friend and i had a pretty bad fight over text and for like, two nights (tuesday and wednesday) after that i had dreams of us fighting again, but this time in public. i already know i have a weird unconscious habit of dreaming about people i've had fights with, and the longest that this had gone was for some months two years ago. they only stopped once i apologized to the person i was dreaming about at the time in real life.

last thursday night's dream, she was there again but with an old friend that i had many regrets about. this dream was,,, alright? because both of them were forgiving me (they were weirdly nice), but i had just stopped dreaming about my old friend everyday after i moved on from our fallout. it was shocking to have him in my dream again in the current appearance that he has, because he usually looked like his childhood self in my dreams. if its anything, the dreams about him only went away when i started growing angry about after our separation.

then on friday, i had a dream my partner had gone abroad and i had an international charge on my phone bill?? HAHAHA. it was arnd 90,000 in my currency or something. this was pretty random but it felt real, it even had me checking my phone to see if i was charged. 😭😭😭.

then the worst one yet, saturday, the one i just woke up from, my dad passed away from a heart attack in this one and his friend that i've never heard of started texting me? i still had to go to uni after all of this and i would forget that he was dead from time to time and then cry every time i remembered? i didn't see him die, it was more like he just walked out the room and next thing i knew he was dead.

i know that stress could have a factor as to why i'm having these dreams, but i'm getting confused as to why it's been happening everyday lately. i'm not sure if any of these even have meaning. haha, i don't know. sorry if this is all over the place i literally just woke up😅

I dont remember much but her screaming and the statue and trying to get away and not being able to. just wanting it to stop. then I woke up

Two years ago, i had a dream about some blonde pale dude having number 34 with a golden crown above it tattooed on his leg. It looked majestic. I actually tripped over something and while falling saw that tattoo. I was in some beach caffe full of people.
