    teeth-related nightmares getting worse

    for like many years now i’ve had reoccurring dreams of my teeth falling out, especially ones where my teeth crack/break into a bunch of pieces. in those dreams i’m grinding my teeth, i can’t stop grinding my teeth, it hurts and the pressure is building, and then they start to crumble and i’m spitting out mouthfuls of teeth bits and blood and it just won’t stop. while these are most of the dreams, sometimes i get dreams where my teeth get RIPPED out, mainly by facial piercings. the dream i had just now was the second one, and it was the worst id ever dreamt.

    first of all i only have one facial piercing and that’s my septum; but for some reason whenever i have these dreams i also have lip peircings and peircings that go thru my literal gums?? the dreams typically go like; i twist around my peircings with my tongue, they get caught on my teeth, i try to get the piercing off, it gets stuck, my teeth get ripped out. it even happens with my septum (and i’ve tested it’s literally physically impossible for my septum to get caught on my teeth) and in this dream physics were NOT a thing i guess bc my septum peircing ended up getting caught on my front teeth, behind my teeth, somehow went down my throat and then came back up to the same spot, without the piercing ever being removed???? and i had two piercings in my gums and those ended up ripping out my teeth as well.

    once i finished ripping out my peircings to prevent more teeth from falling out, the dream still went on, and i lost more and more teeth. this dream was so gorey and gross tho for no reason, more than normal? like when i lost a tooth it hurt really bad, the spot was throbbing, and blood was pouring all over the bathroom floor and on myself. or i thought it was blood, but eventually i noticed it was a clear liquid that just would not stop coming out, it was really watery and tasted and smelled so bad. each tooth that was ripped out/fell out hurt so bad and it was so graphic and vivid and gorey it was straight up body horror. by the end of the dream i was looking in the mirror and on the bottom row i only had one molar in the back on each side and a singular tooth in the middle.

    literally woke up and cried, and i have never cried to a TOOTH dream of all things. but this one was just so nasty and painful, and also really drawn out?? like that was the longest dream ever. ik teeth dreams can represent anxiety or fear of losing something, and recently i’ve been majorly depressed and anxious so that might be why. i just don’t know why my brain would conjure up something like that it genuinely upset me so much😭

    does anyone else have tooth-related nightmares like this or know what it means when they get worse/increase in frequency?

    Very real Dream/vision of the devil

    This actually isn’t my own dream. This dream was commented under a post I made about dreaming of the devil. I’ll leave a link. I just wanted to share this story so I can get some opinions on it and hopefully learn more about it.

    “I had a pretty vivid dream once involving the Devil.

    We were in pitch black where walls, roof, and floor were indistinguishable, everything was simply pitch black, except for me and an individual who were sitting with out knees crossed across from each other. The dream starts mid conversation and I witness it in the third person. When I started to witness the conversation he was telling me about a mountain, a particular mountain, but I can't recall which mountain or if he ever mentioned a specific name. This person was perfection in beauty, his appearance was soft with nothing short of grace and it seemed as though in that black nothingness he was omitting some sort of glow. As the conversation and idle chit chat went on he eventually tells me that he's not how people portray him, that he's been misrepresented and hated for things people don't understand, and at that point I had a good idea of who he was but he openly declares himself to be Lucifer. He tells me he doesn't belong in this place, that he's above it, that he's better than it, and that he deserves to be "out there". He tells me that if I could bring him with me he would always be above me, that I wouldn't need to face any ills, that I won't feel sadness, that everything will be perfect with his hand looking out for me, if I would just take his hand and take him with me. I don't know why but I lifted my hand to take his and just before I could take it I hear a vivid, violent powerful "NO!" Not the type of no that's pleading or panicking but the type that's demanding and dictating.

    I woke up after that "No" in a lot of pain, the type of pain you get in the head when you wake up from sleep paralysis, the buzzing, the feeling that your head will implode, and as I was coming out of it I hear three knocks on my door in slow succession. I eventually got up and checked my door and nobody was there.

    I'm not much of a hocus pocus type of person but out of all my dreams that will remain one of my top 3 for the most weird I've had. It felt so real.”

    sleep paralysis/ possible astral projection?

    i just posted one of my other dreams a more severe one, but this is something else that happened near that time, ive always had sleep paralysis but it comes and goes, about 20 days ago i kept getting sleep paralysis when i woke up and while trying to sleep, but this is mainly about ma dream of being asleep, then in my dream almost floating through my hallway i just remember feeling really fast and i couldn’t see my feet, and i went through my short hallway to infront of my bathroom and was leaning down almost messing with some carrier bag i dont know what i was doing but, i then started feeling fear and turnt around going back to my room and above my stairs was like a small white glowing ball almost, i only saw it for a split second and carried on to my room but i went through my door an quickly closer to my bed but dont remember if i saw my body, and then i woke up just feeling uncomfortable,

    maby irrelevant but around that time i also had a small dream while trying to fall asleep that i got up and turnt my bedroom lamp on to go sleep cus i kept getting sleep paralysis and felt fear every time i would drift off then i woke up in pitch black with the light off and was just confused, i then got sleep paralysis again struggled to sleep.

    appreciate any opinions on these dreams or whatever❤️

    Dream with a stalker

    I had a dream where I had a stalker my age. He followed me everywhere (literally), broke into my house and sneaked into my bathroom, stole my phone to delete all my contacts and add only his, etc. I’ve rejected him (because I’ve always considered myself lesbian), but it’s been a few days since the dream and I’m starting really miss him. He was very kind and always helpful, he also didn’t get upset when I rejected him and didn’t hate me or anything and just acted as he always did. In my dream, for some reason, I didn’t even mind him at all and on the opposite, I got attached to him. But I’ve always considered myself lesbian, this is the first time ever im genuinely attracted to a man. But he’s not real. Does that make me bi? Idk if this is relevant but I’ve never met that dude guy irl, I don’t even remember his face or name but he was pretty tho, I know that.

    Dream Highlights

    I was in my room talking to my edward cullen poster, wondering if my partner was there. It felt like I was being watched. It went on for a while. I lifted the too bunk of my bed with my knees, feeling cardboard. A strange black insect was crawling on the bed. I got scared, disgusted by it. It could've been a termite? On a cardboard box placed on the floor, was a brown spider, with crawly legs. I then had a dream about a hair metal band, which was a weird dream. The singer was blonde. It was a band from the 80s. I recognized them. Def leopard 'pour some sugar on me' might've played. I then dreamt about a girl I know, laying with her on the floor. There was a case of canned drinks from the '90s that I wanted to keep. Cardboard case holding the cans/glass bottles together. A separate can was behind it, half full or empty. Fanta, it appeared to be. Cartoon characters were on the packaging. Maybe nickelodeon related. I also wrote kitten down, which implies I was holding one. Another cardboard box was there, with the spider from earlier. I had to go to school, as I it was already late. I had a tan/light brown liner pencil, contorting her leg with it. I had contoured my nose with it. Surprised at how good I was.

    In the kitchen, a magazine caught my attention. As I was looking in the fridge, needing to go to the bathroom. The hair metal band apologized, for comments they made on kurt cobain. The magazine cover showed girls that were nirvana fans. A celebrity girl that had a name that started with the letter 'm' was on the front. One had a long sleeve nirvana shirt. Light blue or white stripes on the sleeve. Nevermind, or nirvana written on it. Another photo also in the right corner, of a girl holding a plush doll, maybe? I didn't look at it much. The headline said, 'Peter Pan' and something else at the top. The magazine was in the style of 'the sun' or 'enquirer.' I ate tortilla chips, feeling myself grow even more constipated.

    I had another dream that I was outside, in my backyard. I leaned against a tree, seeing custard or eggnog pie there. Mint green milk as well. I wanted to put on my white satin dress, unsatisfied with what I was wearing. Something was over the dress I was already wearing. A light blue top was on me.

    Yesterday, I dreamt of being in a room. With a tv playing creepy bumpers for a prolong time. My partner was sitting with me. The only audio I remember was 'coming soon' come from the tv. There was a couple more. Probably 'coming soon to theaters/vhs' as well. It was likely, 'Coming soon to vhs & dvd..' It felt more digital than analog. We embraced, intertwining our legs. I don't remember it well. I was scared of the tv. I shoved his head down, wanting my nipples licked. That's the only part I remember. Anything could've happened; fingering? tongue kissing probably. He seemed different, like he was a fictional character. His hair looked like a lighter shade. And he wasn't wearing his glasses. He probably kissed by neck because he loves to do that. I don't know why. He didn't move from under me for a while. I spread my pussy, getting it licked as well, maybe. He would've had to get inbetween my legs then. We laid naked, not having sex. Blankets covering us, on what looked to be my sister's couch. He looked annoyed, as I may of been farting.

    I woke up after the dream, still tired and overwhelmed.

    Today I had some weird dreams, all morning. Yesterday was Halloween. I watched charmed and the crow before going to sleep. I forgot to mention that I had a dream about my little brother younger, in my last post. It made me sad. I also had a dream where I was with my partner, sitting under him. I kissed his hand, then felt a kiss on my forehead. I then had another dream. I was with my family, trying to lock the bathroom door so I could take a shit. My little brother kept pulling at the door, making the wood shift around the doorframe. He was going through puberty in my dream, for some reason. He was teasing me here, still young and childlike. My subconscious knew that I had to go to the bathroom. I found a gumby walkie talkie on the floor, which belonged to my older brother when he was a young kid in the '90s. It was wooden and had a stencil of gumby pasted on the front. A figure of gumby was also there next to it, which my brother owned. It's head was chewed on, from what looked like mice. My mind thought it was from a dog. My partner was there, amused that I was affected by my little brother growing up. He got to sit with both my mom and dad, talking with them. Willingly approaching my parents. I sat with a old classmate, next to two other tables in the cafeteria. She hooked her face over my head, as I examined the room around me. The table next tus was the special ed, beside another that had teachers only sitting there. Sweets were in the room, overpriced. One cookie was $10, another was $12. I looked over at my partner, seeing him nearby. Still talking with my parents. Gothic windows were at the end of the room. They were at the backside of the school, different from the regular windows. The room became dark, no longer the brightly-lit cafeteria. Some sweets and frosting were pinsized, fitting on my thumb. There was alot of them. I didn't memorize any of it. A tv played on the background, eerily. My twinflame walked into the room, which surprised me. I questioned how he was even here, asking 'Is it really you? or did someone shapeshift into you?' He looked confused or guilty. 'I believe some people can do stuff like that.' I remarked, cursing myself after. He probably thought I was weird because of me saying that. He had a black cloak on, and mask/hood. I could now see it as he stood up. I was looking for my bookbag and a black mesh kimono, digging through a pile of clothes under a table. I saw a dark burgundy dress, pulling it out; annoyed. Demons filled up in the room, which reminded me of the show charmed. A marilyn manson shirt got my attention. The tag said, 'Hell.' It reminded me of the company hell, etc. that brian owns. It had purple and green spray paint and nipples air brushed on the front. A photo of manson above the breast. On the tv was pogo's voice, saying 'You're selfish!' to Manson. It was a comedy, and it looked like snl. It had played twice. To the right of the room, my dad sat. I saw a dvd in a cabinet, a edgy '00s movie with people's faces on the cover. A typical movie cover that precedes twilight. Two cases were ontop of it, placed backwards. Showing only the latch of the case. The movie was about a woman that had a drug addiction. Yet was a mentor to teenage kids. There was two things infront of me that got my attention. Cookies or something else, maybe more dvds.

    I turned to my dad, leaving the classroom with my things; fabric hanging over my arm. Bookbag heavy. Black colored obviously. 'Dad, can you look for my checkered bag?' I asked, receiving a unsure response from him. Like he couldn't do it. He was sure he couldn't. I had a white and black pencil bag/purse that I used to take to school with me. I can't remember which grade it was. I followed my crush out the door. I had said to my dad, 'Remember the guy I had a crush on? that's him.' I pointed to him. 'March, April, Aries; born in 1998. 1997, I mean..' I said, going out the door and into a school hallway. Dimly lit and white.

    Black railing or tiles, in a strip/line. I woke up right after this, overwhelmed by how vivid it was.

    Explanation please!

    Hello! I’ve always had weird dreams and I never gave much thought to it but I just woke up from something scary and I wouldn’t have bothered much; also I’m not religious in any way, but today being All Souls’ Day I’m a tad bit anxious I guess? Any one who can tell me what’s actually happening would be great or just that I don’t have anything to worry about. I had a long day and I was really tired and ready to go to sleep but I wasn’t getting sleep. Everytime I closed my eyes I saw someone bake something like a cookie or a cake and offered that to me with 2 dates written on it - Nov 2 and Nov 30. I kept going through this about 5-6 times and everytime that person offered me something with those dates I got this nervous shiver and woke up I don’t know if this means anything? Post that I tried to sleep again and I got a short dream, the main part that shook me was I was with my boyfriend on the bike late night coming back home and he was passing me a bag which he hung on his handle so I can take it back home, I looked up at the road and there was this lady dressed in black ominously standing at the side of the road and turned to us. I got scared and put my head behind his back, he tried to ride away from her, next thing I know we are flying in the air, my eyes still closed, it’s almost like we banged something in front of us that flung us into the air and we were coming crashing down. This felt so real I’m still getting jitters. I remember just hugging him and closing our eyes as we came down.

    Sorry for the long post didn’t realise! But any explanation would help please! I just lost someone close recently to a bike accident and today being the day it is I just don’t know if it means anything or I can relax.

    Nightmares. Please help. Not normal nightmares.

    TW: HARD TOPICS

    I have nightmares every night. They’re not the standard ‘being chased by a bad guy’. They’re horrific. Just woke up from having a dream of laying in bed, class ceiling, then seeing a skydiving man plummet straight on top of my roof. Guts everywhere. Decapitated.

    This is standard. I mean really horrific. People being raped while I’m hiding under the bed. People getting hurt. Horrific stuff. My loved pets being hurt infront of me.

    Please. I can’t do it anymore. I’m not stressed. I adore my job. I went through trauma as a kid but can honestly say I never think about it, my whole life is something to be thankful for. I have an amazing husband. I love my life. I never think about when I was a kid. I wasn’t sexually abused or anything, I was physically pushed around a bit but I’ve been through therapy years ago. I don’t think it’s related.

    PLEASE. I don’t feel like I can vent to people IRL. These are nightmares. I’m not intentionally thinking about this stuff. Please. How do I make them stop. It’s every single night. I always have, at least a few times a week. Now it’s every single night

    I have been known to have nightmares/sleep paralysis when I’m stressed, but this one this afternoon was the worst. I was taking a nap and had sleep paralysis, while I was having it I dreamt that someone opened my front door and sexually assaulted me. No this is not a link to my childhood or anything like that, but I have been feeling idk maybe gutted (?) about it and I don’t know what to do I’m only 17 and I can’t afford therapy

    I prayed to see where I would die and I did

    I was in a mall parking lot looking for my car and a woman pulled up. It was night time. She was in a sedan. I had just exited the store. And I was thinking about how I had to put my things into my car. I saw her get out of her car, she had long raven black wavy hair. She walked towards me but I thought she was just going to go to another store. As she approached me I told her that she could go around me. All of a sudden she was directly behind me and I felt her body kind of pressed against me and her hand was against my mouth. I felt super weak and everything started to fade to black. Then I woke up.

    Any guesses about this dream?

    I had a dream which I'm trying to find meaning of. There was me, watching a VHS like old videos of an unknown lady that had a flock of green parrots, all happy, flying and talking around. They loved her. Like 8 or 9. There were several videos of the same thing. Small lady with big glasses, curly hair. Sunny day and everything. The next 2 videos cut to basically her frantically eating what seemed several of the parrots. So I could see the parrots defeathered, boiled, and placed on a metal structure while she ate it with a grotesque expression of hunger in her face. I could tell that were the parrots because of the size of the piece of meat that the lady was eating and also because they were cooked but still had the beak and also had blackened eyes. So, next step is me finding myself in the middle of that situation. I lived with her and I wasn't allowed to leave. I looked around and couldn't see the parrots. But then she hands me a transparent, plastic big bag and told me to place it on the fridge. The bag contained several parrots defeathered and raw. When I opened the fridge, it was filled with suspicious foods inside placed on plastic bags. In her kitchen, there were several foods and instruments that necessarily don't belong normally to a kitchen but used on the weird food. For some reason (and with all reasons), I felt captive and manipulated as I was kept against my will inside that lady's house, which also looked pretty similar to one I lived in the past. Any guesses? I don't normally watch scary movies or anything related to the topic, so I wasn't influenced externally. I also have no idea who the lady is.
    Also, at the end I'm rather confused about it than scared about the whole dream...

    Dreams where you can't keep your head up/eyes open?

    Sometimes I have dreams where it's like my head is rolling around my shoulders and I'm trying as hard as I can to keep my eyes open, only getting disorienting glimpses of what's happening around me. Has anyone else had dreams like this?

    Opinions?

    When i was 16 i rode up on my best friend/(we were raised together), he was on the ground unconscious after a atv accident. That was the last time i was able to see him. Im 39 now and occasionally have a dream where he pulls up in the driveway. He ages. Has scars from the accident. Each time we are both just blown away because he knows and i know he is not supposed to be there. Usually ends with me giving him a hug and crying. Part of me thinks its just a scenario from my subconscious but its so surreal compared to other dreams i wonder if it’s actually him.

    Nightmare

    Last night I had a dream where my neighbor was a serial killer and had a fetish for corpses as well. I caught him beating a corpse through his window and he saw me take pictures and pointed at me. He also threatens legal action on the neighbors if they snoop around. He would wear a blazer with short shorts and some green boots.

    The neighbor looked like a mix of idubbz and Jimmy from At Dead of Night.

    Trauma dream

    I keep having repetitive and constant dreams of getting attacked, raped, and beaten. It always tends to annoy me the whole day even when i try to forget about it. Yesterday i had a similar dream but with a certain guy, i never wanted to admit it but im actually really scared of him from past experiences. The dream was so detailed and felt so real he was trying to yk… and he started stabbing me. I looked at my hands and there was red everywhere. I woke up and the whole day i was off and traumatized thay everyone else noticed. Its still annoying me and thinking about it is like repeating the dream all over again. Thank you for reading if you have reached this far. If anyone has any advice please tell me.

    Dreams of my hometown very closely resembly the way it looked a decade ago, when I was 6

    So I was checking out my hometown in Google Maps and using the 2012 Street View.

    I noticed that one specific place was almost identical to how I see it in my dreams, even though it hasn't looked like that for a long time now.

    The thing is, I was around 6 back then, so it's amazing how my mind still uses environments I was in 12 years ago.

    Does anybody else wake up (still dreaming, like a trance) frantically looking for something??

    A few years ago while on a trip from Colorado to Idaho, my sister and I stayed at a super sketchy Econolodge that smelled strongly of Marijuana.

    So, in the middle of the night I woke up and frantically looked for a phone, using my phone as a flashlight, (i remember all of this, very vividly) my sister woke up and was asking me questions and I kept telling her "I'm looking for the phone. No not mine, the one we bought today" i looked through our luggage, under the bed, everywhere. I was so stressed, so upset. The only objective was to find this imaginary phone "that we bought". Like wtf.

    We ended up talking about this in the AM and concluded that I was probably second-hand high of some sort. Since I've never even been around Marijuana in my life.

    Anyway.... I thought that was a weird one-off, second hand high thing. But then a couple nights ago my sister-in-law tells me that my brother woke up in the middle of the night frantically searching their whole bedroom (including inside there newborn's bassinet) for.... wait for it.... "the eggs not the ones in the fridge, the ones in here!!"

    Does anybody else get these weird frantic-search-dream-trance things???

    Any similar experience?

    When I was a kid, I would say between the ages of 6-10, I would have a dream every few months or so, that I was laying down in a room that just seemed entirely white! I remember it being so bright. There was always people there standing around me, I could never make them out but I could see their figures circled around me on this bed/table. I would be lying there for a while unable to move, and then when I would wake up, I would have to run to the bathroom to vomit! It felt like I had a wet microfibre cloth stuffed down my throat! Ever since then I have been unable to touch microfibres (weird side note, but it really messes with me) and I have always been so intrigued to know if anyone had any similar experiences?

    Samhain Dream - Dullahan?

    So long story short I had a series of really weird dreams last night. I've been a bit sick this week and have been watching scary movies which contributes to all of this. My question is, I couldn't find what significance Dullahan's had in dreams. I told this story to a friend and they immediately said I had dreamt of a Dullahan. And the story I am about to tell is only part of the dream I experienced, but I wanted to know if it symbolized anything. It's quite long, and this is the summary paragraph, as the remainder of it is a short story in itself. If you decide to read it thanks in advance, and I look forward to receiving any comments on the symbolism or what some of this might mean! Also FYI I do have vivid dreams, but I rarely have ones like these.

    Last night which was October 31st, towards probably 3am I had woken up from one dream that startled me and gotten up to get some water. I wasn't feeling great, and was a little bit light headed with a fever. I decided to hydrate and go back to sleep after experiencing a paralysis dream. I went back to sleep falling into yet another vivid dream almost instantly. I was walking along the street of a smaller city where it was dusk with the sun just about to set. There were wide sidewalks and two to three story buildings lining the street. It was honestly quite crowded and busy with "people" of different shapes and sizes dressed in what I thought to be costumes. The whole street was hustling and bustling about. I didn't really question it, despite seeing what looked like some children with strange face paint and marking, or others who wore strange masks. I didn't even think about why I wasn't seeing any truly "normal" people. It didn't really bother me outside of a very tall man who I noticed had seen me and was now following me. No one else paid any mind, however this tall entity decided that they had taken an interest in me specifically, I didn't sense hostility but more of curiosity.

    I walked until I ended up in line for an event at one of the establishments that lined the street. Once again I was being followed this very tall slender man, who was now right behind me. They seemed extremely curious about me, getting so close that they were now peering over my shoulder as I talked to the bouncer at the entry way to the event. I turned around and asked the tall man if I could help him, but he just smiled and then quickly got out of line and walked off, seeming a little bit giddy. I had no clue why I got that reaction, but I turned back to the bouncer for the event. He held this microphone looking device in his hand that was scanning everyone who went inside. It made a beeping buzzing noise for people as they went one by one through the threshold. It was now my turn in line, but when he then held it up for me, nothing happened. He asked me if I should really be in line for this event, at which point I cracked a wry smile and talked my way out of it. I asked him to try again and see what happened, which he obliged. He tried it one more time and it squeaked out a half buzz, but definitely not the sound I heard early. He motioned me through with a gesture that told me "Good enough" and let me in.

    As I walked through the door there was what appeared to be a small chapel in the left corner of the building. there were arches and flying buttresses all being swallowed up by the orange glow of candle light. It looked like an older church, that had been lit up for a ceremony. Below the large circular ceiling there were multiple wooden tables with people sitting, and the tables had a strange version of chess being played. There were multiple boards all around, some taken by a game, some empty waiting for use. They all had uniquely shaped game pieces for every board. I even compared some and each board had their own unique sets of pieces. Off to the right from the long benches and archway there was a bar. It had a long dark wooden slab that stretched out a good distance to the right. And behind it loomed a darkness that you couldn't see past, outside of the bartenders glasses and equipment. There wasn't a back room or kitchen, just a grey blackness that seemed to never end. Along the dark mass of a bar sat stools for the patrons, some of whom were there drinking and talking. I decided to sit down for a bit and joined them. They seemed pleased to have company at which point they offered an alcohol/spirit I had never seen before, I cannot remember the name but I believe it started with an "F". It was a brown amber liquor in a strange bottle that I had also couldn't place. The bottle had a very narrow base and tapered outwards and upwards. It was made out of this beautiful green glass with a crackle flare. And it had an emblem and label on it, but I didn't recognize it. I also for whatever reason realized a party wasn't complete without music, and managed to manifest my phone and played a wide variety of eclectic music for them which they seemed to enjoy. The funniest part is I remember the selection including Alice in Chains and I believe the song was "Them Bones" but it had a completely different name on my phone. After hanging out for a bit, I bid them goodbye. Only because it seemed like a few hours had passed since I had partaken in the festivities.

    I then left out the front door, and was back on the main street. I noticed it had gotten considerably darker and remember thinking I had to get to my car so that I could leave and drive myself home. I then spent some time wandering the streets. At some point I wandered to a cross roads, which was actually a 4 way intersection with strange stop lights. The only resemblance they shared with reality was still coming in the red, yellow, and green variety. I waited for the signal and once I felt it was all clear I walked to the other side of the street at which point the dreamscape turned barren. There were now run down buildings and dirty lots, with nothing around. The air seemed dusty and the tone of the scenery became dark and decrepit. As I was looking around at the chance, I saw a car in the distance which I thought was my "car", however as I got closer I realized it wasn't. I opened the passenger door to the vehicle, and peered inside but it was barren. Most of the dash and steering wheel was missing, not even there. Just the driver seat and the back seat covered in a worn burgundy cloth with orangish brown carpet. Frustrated I pulled my head out from inside the cabin, and shut the door. And, that's when I saw it.

    Peering over my right shoulder there was a pale, white, bald head sitting in a dirt mound. It was too clean to be part of the landscape. I stared at it and became fascinated, as I turned my body I saw that it lay roughly 10 feet away from the sidewalk. It's eyes shut, mouth shut, a little bit dirty, but still contrastingly clean compared to its surroundings. I felt compelled to walk towards it. As I took steps closer and closer, a spirit appeared before me, wearing a beautiful satin brown Khimar. Her face obscured, and in her right arm she held what looked like a child. She stood in front of me, blocking me from approaching. Her Khimar fluttered silently, with the satin cloth sparkling and me being in awe of how beautiful it was. Unfortunately that lasted only a few moments, and my stubbornness kicked back in. I was drawn to the head, and continued to pressure my way towards it. The woman attempted to block me again, and again, at which point I said, "Out of my way!" and I frustratingly moved past her. I could tell she was equally frustrated as well, waving me off as I had chosen my fate. That was fine because I had reached my goal, and slowly bent down, extending my arms and my fingers. And then I picked it up.

    This was probably not smart in hindsight, people don't just go around picking up severed heads. But here we were, as I lifted it upwards I got a better look at it. In my arms now, the eyes and mouth still shut almost peaceful. Coddling it, I started to wipe it clean. I flicked off the ants crawling around and wiped off the dirt smudges on the cheek, brow and crown of the head. Content with my objective being met, I started walking again. And no sooner had I taken several paces before the head opened it's eyes and mouth. And a soft blue flame/aura exuded itself from it's neck. I stared at it remaining calm and trying to not freak out, at which point it became even more animate and startled me as it started to tried to communicate, with me! It stared at me and seemed very frustrated, and I believe it threatened me in some capacity, because I had it's head. This part though made me really mad, because I had no intention of hurting it. However I intuitively realized that this was probably some strange being, but my logic was, the head most likely had a body. So with that in mind I decided that if the head could talk and speak, then it could also be strangled. And I let them know very promptly that I would have no problem doing so if we continued to have a problem. The head grew apologetic and told me to wait, and that it was all a joke. At which point we walked a bit further and a body appeared. As it apologized I gave the head back on the condition of no funny business and to leave me alone. The entity insisted it had just been a joke and that it was sorry, just a small prank was all. It truly meant me no harm and then it's body manifested. We had been walking for a little bit and I appeared in some sort of city square. The head and myself came to an agreement for me to let go, and that it wouldn't bother me anymore and would go on it's way. I cannot remember all the details, but I don't believe we bargained outside of me giving it's head back in exchange for no more funny business. The entity said goodbye to me and I continued walking, heading towards the boundary of the dream world which showed up as lots of white space, almost like the end of the dream scape area, and as I walked into it I woke up.

    Thanks for reading if you do, I had fun writing this one down earlier and was happy I could remember it!

    Dream about Ancient Egypt

    Didn't know much about history of Egypt or about pharaohs. But I watched when I was little about Moises and that's just it.

    It's just weird having a dream that I saw a lot of servants and I am sure those are from ancient Egypt. They're wearing white with a dog mask on it and one servant comes to me, (I am wearing modern clothes with my body in the real life) She told me that I am the pharaoh, I told her I am not maybe she mistaken me for someone else, and pinpoint other people, but she said she was sure that I am their Queen.

    A year ago also dreamt about being a queen in that time. Can't remember it, I just let that go and it did happen again but with much clearer dream.

    When I woke up I kept on searching about servants in Egypts with short hair wearing white dress and having a dog mask. Just curious why I am having this kinds of dreams.

    Most of my dreams recently have anything to do with my waking life, like there is an intuition in my dream. But this one is different, I don't have any connections in Egypt or anything in this life.

    Unable to wake up while aware of my dream and simultaneously aware of my real body.

    I had an unusual dream, but I cannot remember many details. I remember my friend was there, who for some reason I could only call by my own name, which dream me thought was his deadname. I tried waking up, but couldn't. I vaguely remember summoning two pistols in my hands and trying to escape the dream, and woke up shortly after.

    I have been getting little sleep lately so I could be sleep deprived, which would explain why the dream was batshit insane, but I am more confused about why I was aware of the dream and the real world at the same time.

    What does The Gilgamesh Resurrection Chamber Dream mean?

    I had a dream last night that was influenced into showing me the arbitrary contents of the universe thanks to the power of Benadryl. I saw the Gilgamesh Resurrection Chamber mentioned again and again throughout the dream. I was speaking (in the dream) to my long dead great grandfather about something when, all of a sudden, he mentioned the Gilgamesh Resurrection Chamber. This happened every time I spoke to someone in the dream. Does The Gilgamesh Resurrection Chamber mean anything to anyone, or am I just having a random dream?

    Repeated dreams about boyfriend cheating

    This is probably a super common one, but it’s getting exhausting! I’m in an extremely happy and healthy relationship for over a year now (27F, 30M), he includes me in everything, we spend every night together, he leaves his phone unlocked with me (I never had the urge to look), answers all his calls on speaker, I’ve met all his family and friends, etc. absolutely zero reason to feel insecure or to think that he is cheating. We communicate well and we spend quality time together, tells me and shows me he loves me every day etc. Every night for the past couple of weeks I have many different dreams and there is always at least one where he cheats (never something explicit, more like holding hands, being there for another woman and ignoring me, falling for someone else, etc). I do get insecure about being cheated on/replaced, but that precedes this relationship and it wouldn’t be fair to project this on him as he’s all green flags. I also think he’s objectively more attractive than me and more successful so I feel like he could find better, which is more of a me problem with lower self esteem. I did get emotionally cheated on by my ex in the past and it broke me. Any advice? Every morning I wake up feeling horrible after “seeing” my partner betray me.

    I am able to leave my dreams?

    So sometimes when I have a dream and something bad is happening and I’m like “Oh no this is bad I gotta leave” I just leave the dream, I don’t know how I do it.

    It’s like another sense I just kinda do it. What happens is it brings up the save and quit option from Minecraft and I click it somehow. Then I do one of two things.

    1. just stop dreaming and go back to darkness

    2. chill in the Minecraft menu and join back the dream whenever. This one is a bit weird though because when I join back the dream is different slightly.

    Anyway I was just wondering how or why this happens.

    Reoccurring scene of comforting friends gives me a really strange feeling

    I recently had a dream where I was in a mall and I found my friend in a public bathroom in front of a mirror looking very sad. I could see it in her face, she was on the verge of tears. I started saying "You look really sad, tell me what's bothering you, what happened? Or don't if you don't want to", something among those lines.

    And whenever I think of how I felt in that scene I get this strangely nice feeling, a craving to experience that again. I believe I've had fragments similar to this before, where I'm comforting or hugging someone crying.

    It's just strange how this triggers such a specific feeling that I haven't even really experienced in real life as I haven't seen my friends crying in real life or had to comfort them in that manner.
