not really recurring but almost every night in my dream, i'm always running. it feels like someone is chasing me. and there's no day that i don't dream tho most of it i forgot but i always feel tired when i wake up (i think i'm running on these dreams too) help! do you know what this means and how to stop it? 😭

recently i've been having this recurring dream. up to 3 times a week some weeks. i am able to fly, and i fly around everywhere and usually it's nowhere specific it varies. but then later on in the dream i stop flying and just walk for a bit. then when i try to fly again i cant. i try my hardest but in the end i just give up trying to fly and walk back to where i wanna go. so i am able to fly, then i lose the ability to fly. does this have meaning? i dont usually believe that dreams have meanings but i've been having this one consistently for a while now.

Ciao sapete cosa significa sognare di ricevere una testa di pesce cotto da mangiare? Non ho più contatti con questa persona ma in passato mi detestava.

This one is mildly sexual

I was in some sort of 3D game. It was like those games where you're sliding around with a knife in your hand; CSGO I think?

Anyway, I remember taking a break with the other players (we are the people in game, not 'playing' the game) and everyone was suddenly horny.

Next thing I see is a couple having sex. One of the players says I should 69 this guy. I reply that I'm not gay but would if they passed as a woman (I like trans women).

Suddenly everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. They start berating me, acting like I'm a terrible person. I try explaining that I didn't say anything wrong, just that Im not gay. My ex was there and she was the only person I knew and I tried explaining that I said nothing wrong but she stayed silent.

Everyone kept going off on me saying I was a POS and then tried killing me in game. It was a horrible feeling. I was trying to escape but they kept deleting parts of the map until I had nowhere to go. They said "this is what you get" and broke the floor beneath me.

Then I woke up.

I am crossing a border to Afghanistan together with my two female friends.I am female; irl I dont have any intention of visiting Afghanistan, but I am happy in a dream, although in my dream, we just find ourselves at the border, crossing it by foot. Befor crossing, I try to buy some scarves to cover myself. I go to twi different shops, and cannot find the scarf I am looking for. Then we continue towards the border. A small wild species cat (like palais cat), which is behind some fence, comes to me and bites me on a hand. I sm surprised, since cats usually are not that unfriendly. I wonder if she could have infected me with smth,so I look at the hand to see if she pierced my hand. She did,but the wound is very small and no blood is present. The most surprising thing in this dream is that cat bit me out of nowhere. I love cats and they were never unfriendly to me. Thanks for any insights! Edit: before that dream, I had another one, and I only remember some parts of it: lying on the hospital bed bc I have to have some blood drawn from my thumb, assumably for the blood test, next to me on another bed is my ex-friend, also having blood drawn from her thumb. I check if the needles and other equipment is clean. I also remember some nice house with palm trees on a very high hill. That dream was quite comfortable, and then I just find myself on Afghan border with two other friends, one of which is my another female friend with whome I dont hang out anymore irl.

I'm driving on a road to my high-school, it's not really day or night. There's a tortoise on it's back on the side of the road, so I stop to flip him over, and he turns possessed, standing on his hind legs and starts chasing me (slowly). I run across the street and there's like a whole "farm" of possessed tortoises and a creepy man who seems to be the farmer. He was evil and had done something evil to make the tortoises like that! So I was screaming at him and we fought and then I ran into a barn to the top of the barn, became semi lucid , and like, flew out of the barn like a kamikaze to kill the farmer and also wake myself up. Wtf was that about? I need to hear from many sources what tortoises can symbolize because this one is stumping me. Thanks !

I haven’t seen nor talked to my ex in 6 years but I see his girlfriend around sometimes because we have a class together but the dream was weirdly vivid.

I was getting close to his girlfriend and trying to be her friend, she didn’t like the idea first but after a while she warmed up to me. We sat next to each other on the bus while my ex sat in a different seat near us obviously not liking how close I was to his gf. We kept talking until she asked me if I wanted to come over and I said yes well once we get to the house my ex starts being rude to her which makes me uncomfortable so I clean up the house(?) anyways she takes me to a room and cries abt how he never helps her with anything and asks me to stay then ends up kissing me, I woke up after.

It was weird, his girlfriend and I were friends but it ended after she accused me of being jealous so idk what any of this dream means.

I had a dream in which i set a very old tree near our house on fire at midnigt. Cctv were placed all around the town but it was all broken at the time and i didnt know that . The fire exploded and burn my back but i wasnt hurt and people were trapped in their house and cry for help. But nobody were hurt nor got their property damage. They didnt know that i did it and didnt even suspect me. Someone try to build a house in the place. While they were discussing my eyes met my mom's and realized that she knew it all along or suspected me.

My bf and I have been together for a couple of months, our relationship is great and means a lot to me, but for the entire time we've been together I've been dreaming of cheating on him about 3 or 4 times. Obviously I'd never cheat and never thought of cheating., I have also never been cheated on (to my knowledge).

In the dreams, I'd do all sorts of things, from going on dates, to making out, to having sex, with people that most of the time don't exist, or exist in different names. All of a sudden, towards the end of a dream, I'd remember my bf exists and try to make excuses to myself, then wake up. I have had this happen before with exes, but only once per relationship.

According to some comments on similar posts, I should talk to him. I obviously don't wanna mention these dreams to him, but I do feel like we should talk, about our insecurities in being in a relationship. We know each other quite well and value each other a lot, but haven't talked about that yet.

Dream I was pregnant walking around a store with Natasha (Cha-Chi) and it was supposed to be a while before I was due and it was supposed to be a boy but for some reason I had crazy contractions and had her right there I the store and we named her harmony.

Cha-Chi was a girl I knew as a teenager and she died a couple of years ago. Now she came in my dream.

I also had a dream about 2 weeks ago and my husband’s brother came in my dream, he also is deceased.

Am I supposed to be a medium or something?

Thanks.

I keep on dreaming about having a marketing job at Toyota, which is a big downgrade from my actual job in Tech.

I do not know why Im having this dream but, I don't feel good about having to change job in real life since I love my current job in Tech.

I had a very strange dream about a week ago, and today someone in a group I'm in was talking about this subreddit so I thought I'd post it here.

My dream started out normally, usually while I'm still in control of things I construct puzzles for myself and try to solve them over and over, then I imagined myself using social media or chatroom, reading and writing messages in text form, usually arguing with somebody. Then I guess in the dream someone on that social media, someone who I didn't know in the dream was talking about some project with fish, and I must have traveled to it, because it was a clearing in a field surrounded by trees, and there was a lot of mud and tools, and me and a group of many other people made this structure, it was like an above-group koi pond made of mud and rocks and sticks with many pools and bridges between them like a maze, and then it was filled with water and I watched the fish navigate the maze, and it was very nice.

But then, I looked up, and emerging from the trees there was a group of men on horseback, they may have been Native Americans? They said we had built this structure on their land. They didn't seem angry, just very emotionally cold to us. One of the leaders of the group offered to take it down or move it, but they didn't accept that. Then they pulled out bows and started firing arrows at me and the rest of the group. I was struck twice, the first went through my chest, but it missed my heart, and the second went through my right shoulder and pierced through my cheek into my mouth. I collapsed onto the ground onto my side, because it hurt, it burned it stung, it was sore, I tasted blood, my entire body was writhing on the ground, and I saw the people who I had helped build this mud structure running and screaming as my vision went dark.

And that's all I can remember. I woke up still remembering what had happened in the dream.

I don't understand it at all, so I figured I would ask here what you all think it meant.

And the worst part is that it felt like a dejavu.

Not just because of my exwife being in my dream, but because it felt like we had already been through this story and somehow had covered it up.

It wasn’t a nice car. We kept his body in the trunk for some reason, and then parked the car in a neighborhood where it might get stolen.

I’m so confused.

In my dream it showed my sister dying on a bed but her spirit floating and communicating with me. There was her child who I guess made it through birth. Survived and couldn’t be older than like 8. Me and others were communicating with the child trying to explain what had happened.

I can’t remember everything that was said or what my sister said in the dream but that’s all I can recall. The dream moved sort of like a montage in a film.

In real life she’s not pregnant.

I just want to know the meaning. Thanks in advance for your help.

So i have been having these nightmares for the past two weeks nearly every night, They are exactly the same each time. Anyhow i was wondering if anyone maybe knows what it might mean?

So it starts with me, my mother and my aunt going to the Lorelei festival. My mother drops me off at home with her car before she leaves to take my aunt home. I always give her a brief hug through the open car window before i watch her leave.

Now i am not sure if it was the next day in in dream or that it was a week or so later but my aunt calls me up in the middle of the day telling me my mom has passed away. I nearly immediately put in my phone next to my moms contact ‘the end’. My aunt never tells me how my mom died exactly. I spend the next months in the dream daily going through a grieving process. Crying, Being depressed, not believing it and wanting to call my mom but always being reminded that i can’t anymore when i see ‘the end’ behind her name. I eventually have calmed down a bit but run into a daily problem. I want to call her but am again reminded of her death by ‘the end’. Making me break down again. It is in this point where i wake up crying the same as i did in the dream.

For some extra information. My mother ins’t dead, ill or anything like that. She is in good health concidering her age. We also have a good connection.

So I keep having these same theme of dreams every night and it's been years it's been like this. I spoke about this with some people and they thought I should come here to see how people would interpret this.

Basically, I have constant dreams about either being in school, getting chased by police, or being in random houses and trying to escape.

Let me give a little detail about these themes.

When dreaming I'm in school, it's often times I am leaving and trying to make it to the bus, but for some reason I keep missing it.

When dreaming about getting chased by police, I find most times I'm not even sure why I'm being chased. It's not like I did something in my dream then got chased. The dream just starts out as I'm just getting chased or investigated or arrested etc.

When dreaming about being in random houses, I just appear there then have this thought "what am I doing here?" And I try to leave because I don't want the home owner to come and call the cops for me being in their house and I don't even know why I'm there. It's always confusing.

I have bunch of other dreams but these are common themes. Any thoughts ?

For some back story, my grandfather went missing in 2006 and we haven’t seen nor heard from him since. For the past 3 years I have searched every website under the sun for any record of him, even using several alliances he may be going by now. I’m not going to lie, I have started to give up hope, thinking he may have passed away either in 2006 or since that time, and was just unable to be identified. I’m always getting to the point where I know I’m running out of time, because if he is still out there somewhere he would be 76yrs old. I’ve also had a lot of stress in my day to day life, along the lines of issues with my mother, running to do things every night of the week after I’m done working, and the weekends, along with trying to keep everything up at home and prepare for Christmas, I’m sure stress play into my dreams as well.

Now to the dream. In my dream there was a hurricane coming (odd because i was living in Louisiana, and I have never lived there) I was shopping at a mall and all of the stores were closed. I was very frustrated because I wanted to get my hair done but no stores were open. I finally stumbled upon a salon that was open and I went inside, instead of getting my hair done, i started working doing other peoples hair. (I’m not a hairdresser nor have I ever desired to be). As I was working my husband called and said we were going to six flags, so I left. (To my knowledge the 6 flags in LA was destroyed in Katrina). We went to six flags and all the rides were broken and we kept getting stuck on all the rides. My father showed up and told us we weren’t supposed to be there and we needed to leave. We left and went to a huge gathering for thanksgiving. I cooked all the food myself, and it was a huge feast, enough to feed 200 people. There were people from my past, family, and people I don’t recognize. After I finished cooking, I went and laid down for a moment. I fell asleep, and when I awoke everyone had eaten and left and had thanksgiving without me. My husband was still there so I asked home why he let me sleep through it and why he didn’t save me a plate (in my dream I had a memory that something like this had happened before). My husband didn’t answer, instead he took a phone call, so I left and went back to work. As I was walking back to my new job, at the mall hair salon, I spotted my uncles (dad’s brothers) in the parking lot. As I started walking over to say Hi, my youngest uncle said we found him, and I saw my grandfather came walking out from behind a vehicle parked near. He looked normal and healthy from far away. I started running towards home crying, as I was running the hurricane hit, and rain and wind over took me, I struggled to get to him. Once I made it over, I embraced him for a hug, and when I let go to speak to him, he changed. He was then walking abnormally like he had a disability. He didn’t know how to speak, he could only make loud grunts, and he was acting weird, running around with his hands drawn up, hitting and kicking cars, screeching, and crying.

This is where I woke up to my alarm. I woke up very anxious, and sad. I would appreciate any insight.

Often I'll have this dream out of nowhere, all of my dreams will be fuzzy but I'll fully remember this one.

I'm in a pure white museum, blank walls and floor, with dome-shaped rooms. To pass on through each room, I have to take on some kind of "burden" / sacrifice something.

For example, I remember once dreaming of this place and having to memorise information that would physically weigh on me almost, slowing me down.

Another time, I had to eat a sickly sweet cake decorated like... I guess an anthropomorphised jellyfish? As I ate it, my body fell away until I became the subject of the cake.

I'm mentioning the "alien spaceship" aspect as not only did it seem high-tech, it's often followed by dreams of alien planets or space stations or the like.

Hello, not sure how to title this. I have quite a strange dream to share Ive never posted a dream or asked for clarification but this one was not like anything I've dreamt before. My memory of the dream is very choppy but it started with me on a fairly empty highway barefoot walking at night. I walked on the shoulder of the highway to avoid cars as a few would pass by occasionally. I remember thinking I wish I had shoes because I didn't want to accidently step on something but nonetheless I felt a sense of purpose that I was walking somewhere specific for a specific reason to do a specific thing. The next thing I remember after the highway is being is this building which is hard to describe it felt like an old creepy mansion but it also had certain areas that were very vibrant with clown themed colors. I again felt no fear and had a sense of purpose. I realized that my purpose was to kill a specific entity in this mansion place. As I walked through the mansion I saw my past and future self were both there as well it felt like this was an extremely important point in time where my past and future self intersected perhaps to fulfill this goal we had of killing this entity. Once I realized what I needed to do another entity appeared a very tall clown like figure that was probably 8-9ft tall outfitted in a strange clown costume with black and red and it felt like he knew exactly why I was there as well. This entity never made physical contact with me but I knew he was trying to stop me by any means. Once I got close to him and the entity I was meant to kill who was also a clown like figure but much smaller probably 5ft tall or more I said to myself "Well, Its time to go" I then suddenly had a blade in my hand that was probably around 12-14 inches and In one quick motion while keeping a sprinting pace I quickly stabbed this entity right through the mouth and out the back of its head, lifted it up in the air holding it by my blade and ran with it down this very bright and red hallway that went down a little ways and had a dead end where there was a door immediately to the right of the hallway. I stabbed my blade into the wall while this thing was still attached to it and immediately opened the door and my dream was over. When I woke up I felt more confusion then anything I didn't feel afraid, this was strange for me because my dreams always tend to have me feeling powerless even when I realize its a dream but this one felt like I was in complete control the entire time.

This is a recent vivid dream I had.

The scene was really weird. I was cornered by three women (not really cornered but by back was touching the wall and the women were standing in front of me), those women were probably above 30 years old. I couldn't see their faces, but I felt that I knew them like a family members.

But that isn't the weird thing in the dream at all. There was another presence of something non-human. A tall 9ft dark figure of a man with a classic hat (I couldn't see his face too). He was standing behind the women and it looks like they couldn't see him at all. Anyway, in the dream I got possessed. I saw this fog or smoke that enters my body, but it ran away the moment it did.

The weird thing is that I felt like I was awake. I felt the entity entering my body in real life. When I opened my eyes, not fully I saw that fog above my body. But I didn't believe what I saw, blaming my still sleepy mind at that time.

What do you think that this dream could mean?? 🤔

(🛑 That 9ft dark figure show up even in real life. I often see it everywhere 🙂)

dream of the ocean turning pitch black and my father trying to pull me to shore, the swell was growing like a tsunami but every time it receded it started to pull me out farther, there was a warm spot in the water which I knew was dangerous and I just kept looking at the water thinking its so black who knows what could be in there

Hello guys. Today I want to tell you about a dream that I had.

In the dream I was vomiting too much,and the puke wasn't just liquid but it has pieces of, not sure what, but it was more like jelly pieces.

And in the dream I also had a very bad stomach ache, even if the dream's scenes changed a lot, the ache and the nausea didn't get better or go.

It was a vivid dream where the pain felt real. But the weird thing is that I knew I was dreaming.

what could it mean??

Hello, over the past couple of months I began dreaming a lot.

In all my past dreams, i always woke up before I died in the dreams. But now I'm fully dying in them.

Not all involve it, but close to 50% of my dreams in the past month have involved me dying.

One was falling off scaffolding (like construction scaffolding) and me feeling my face slam into the ground.

The one that's been bothering me was I was being blamed for a murder, and I said "no no it wasn't me it was person X"

Person X was sitting beside me, and pulled out a knife and stabbed me in the throat, i felt/heard everything, and didn't die for maybe a minute and remember lying looking up before I died.

What do full deaths in dream mean? Could it have something to do with my dad dying.

I've had dreams where I'm trying to wake him up, only to realize he has passed and that shit seriously bothers me for like a week afterwards

I've began a journal I add to when I wake up if anyone needs any extra details, I'm begging to have 2-3 VIVID dreams a night, compared to one every 6-8 months before.

Any insight would be appreciated.

I don’t remember much about this dream but I remember being outside and watching some kind of medium sized monkey walk around with amusement, and thinking “oh now we have stray monkeys walking around, that’s interesting”. I’ve never had dreams about monkeys before so wondering what you all may think it means?

I was taking care of a giant toad, bringing it fresh water to drink and swim in, and someone in my life took the water bowl away from the toad and I got very upset and screamed at him to give the water back or I’m going to kick him out. Then I saw a tiny white snake, it slithered behind a rock and i sat waiting for it to come out. It came out 10x bigger than it was before, and started charging at me; I felt fear. Then the snake transformed into an otter. It looked at me and I was overcome with relief. And then I woke up. Looking for interpretation.

I was going into this Hag’s cave looking for a crystal ball and no matter what I’d do, looking for different paths, using different weapons to try to kill it, and even running away. But none of it would work and it would just keep killing me

Looks like I’m at work.. there’s a few coworkers of mine around me.. (I don’t know anyone in this dream but in the dream they’re coworkers) there’s this one pretty attractive women.. she jumps up into this big bin with stuff inside and does this to hand product over to us standing outside of the bin… I told her I’d do it but she went ahead and jumped in.. it’s about 4-5 women and me and one other guy.. the lady in the bin gets into this awkward position where her behind is facing us.. she’s very well shaped and I’m looking at the other guy across from me… and he’s looking at me.. I turn my eyes towards her and check her out.. he kinda looks at me annoyed and I shrug.. saying sorry couldn’t help myself.. I look at her again and just have a complete perv moment staring like wow… I take it all in and look around at everyone else.. the guy stopped glaring at me.. we’re all still taking product off her hands as she hands it to us… next thing I know we’re not there anymore..I’m in the back stock room.. where there’s a broken door… it’s got a lock on it holding it closed but there’s an opening at a bottom corner.. just a slight enough crack to allow a small animal in.. a few cats come in through there and I’m just WTF… I hope no one saw that on camera.. as more come in.. there’s a yellow cat, brown cat, black and white, a few kittens.. and a grey one at the very end that struggles to get through.. I feel for the little guy so press the door slightly to let him in. They all come into the back room area and scatter to different places to get warm.. that was pretty much it..

For context I am not an athlete. Also, I am currently unemployed due to losing my job a few months ago. It hasn’t been easy looking for a job in this economy but I am trying.

In the dream I was at some sort of watch party where they showed sporting events and my name kept flashing across the bottom of the screen saying that I won gold. I won gold in like 5 different events. The kicker is that I do know what sport or event it was. And why did I watch the event from a different POV if I was the winner.

I feel like my dream is incredibly tame in comparison to what I’ve read on this sub, but I would still like some help.

I had a dream about myself and a man that I had gone on a date with one time.

I’m gonna try to give some backstory, but I also don’t want to get recognized in this sub.

This man and I had worked together for about a year. We always had a sort of sexual undercurrent to our conversations. He was just that sort of person. Looking back, he probably seduces everybody he meets.

Anyway, one day while out with coworkers, he asked me to go out with him. I said yes. We had a good time and surprisingly he kissed me when the night was over. Though I’m attracted to him I didn’t want things to get too hot and heavy so I pulled away prematurely. We still texted here and there after that night, but it was definitely less and less and then eventually he moved abroad.

Now onto the dream.

Essentially, the dream was a retelling of that evening we spent together. Everything went mostly the same. Maybe I had a few more drinks and maybe I was a bit more flirtatious. But the big difference was at the end of the night. Instead of pulling away, I leaned in. So much so that I ended up pinned against the side of my car and then eventually we got down to it in my truck bed. He was always alluding to his skills in the bedroom, not in a cocky way, but kind of matter of fact. Coincidentally the day before I had this dream, I found a TikToker that reminded me of him. And this TikToker was basically telling stories of their escapades prior to settling down and becoming a one woman man.

After this man moved away, I confirmed my suspicions, that he had a roster of one or two dozen women and was legitimately the kind of person who seduces women, makes her fall in love, and then moves on like yesterday’s tweets. Just for fun.

My suspicions about this dream is that I have some kind of regrets about what happened. How I didn’t go as far as I would’ve liked to in the moment. I have problems with living in the moment. I’m always thinking about things that haven’t happened yet. He was always good at that kind of thing. Just living in the moment. kind of reminds me of that Taylor Swift lyric fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter. Like I’m not able to live in the moment because of my past and my upbringing, but I’m trying so hard because life can get to be too much.

Or alternatively, maybe I wanted his attention. Maybe I wanted to be different even though I had feelings that he was this type of person. Maybe I just wanted to feel like things were genuine. But why did I dream about it then? I already knew that.

But I would like input about the underlying themes here. Thank you.

In my dream, it was my birthday and my wife and I were visiting with her grandparents. Her grandpa was unusually serious and asked me to come with him into another room so he could give me his gift. He handed me a wrapped box which I then opened. Inside the box was a very ornate gold faberge egg. This egg was larger than most, it was probably a little under a foot in length. When I was holding it, I realized it had multiple layers. I pulled off the outer gold layer and inside of it was more gold in the shape of an egg shell but it fanned open when the outer layer was removed. When it fanned out, there was a hollow ceramic statue of a rabbit inside. I removed the rabbit so see a blue jewel which glowed. The jewel was fixed to the center and seemed to be what was holding everything in place. I asked him why he gave me this gift and why he needed to give it to me privately and he just said “you’ll figure it out eventually”

I have been thinking about this all day. Most dreams I just shrug off but this one really felt like it meant something. I would love to hear any and all interpretations. Thanks!
