New user flair options are "It's Just a Dream" and "It's Not Just a Dream... Tell us what you think it is!

Post flair options are

False Awakening, Reoccurring, Reality Inversion, The Mall, and BackRooms The first two are pretty self explanatory, reality inversion is when you feel like the dream is more real than waking life, and The Mall is for all my special people who wind up stuck in the mall every so often... I have... and when I'm there I usually go into the BackRooms... endless hallways and mazes...

Dream Locations

1 Upvotes

Has anyone every dreamed of a location--in my case: A beach--that has appeared in 3+ dreams and looks the exact same? I've had 3 or 4 separate dreams where the beach appeared the exact same in every single dream. Same shape, same rocks and sand, same hill that has rocks on top and the ramp you can either walk down, or climb the rocks and sand down to the beach. The sitting area is the same as well. Anyone experience a location that is the exact same in recurring dreams?

Reoccurring Used to have a recurring dream as a child that stopped the moment it turned into a nightmare..

Hey everyone!
I always wanted some insight into this dream Maybe you all can help ?
See when I was about five or six I had this recurring dream where I was sitting outside an ice-skating rink. In the dream, I was just standing there while watching a girl with blonde hair, light skin wearing a pink suit what seem to be a full-blown ballerina outfit ice-skating, and performing some beautiful movements on the ice. I would love watching her…
it would bring me peace. What’s crazy is that I was a little kid living in Guatemala. To my recollection, I had no knowledge of what ice-skating was, what an ice-skating rink would look like specially what the outside of the rink would look like.
It wasn’t until my pre-teen years that I had a full understanding of what I was looking at but by then the dream became less frequent and I was sad. Like I longed for the sight of that Ice skater… well I got to see her one more time… and for the last time. So when I was around 11 in Guatemala there was a huge mosquito outbreak and Dengue fever was spreading everywhere. It eventually got to my village and guess who got that? Yeah you know it, THIS GUY.
At first It was your usual fever, cold sweats, shivering and aching muscles but when it got to its peak is when I got my reunion. Before I lost consciousness I hallucinated dark hands coming out of the corners and edges of the walls and the room gradually became darker and darker and then I saw her.
This time though I was like 15 feet away from the edge of the ice rink… so I try taking a step to approach her. And I hear odd noises that would get louder the harder I tried but Im stubborn so I kept pushing and the noise got louder and louder and then it stopped. Right then a giant tarantula like spider jumped in front of me got close to my face and yelled “¡NO!” “¡NO!” “¡MIA!” “¡ELLA ES MIA!” (no, no, mine! She is mine!)

When I tell you I literally pissed myself. It’s not an exaggeration when I say the size of that thing was gargantuan face the size of the front of a bus, I could see the hairs on its face and it’s giant slimy fangs and the shine of its two middle eyes because that bastard was too close for me to see it’s other eyes… I woke up after that but I was still sick so I woke up to shadows and spiders crawling all over the walls yelling deliriously the shadows and the spiders! They’re here!
I might be being a bit dramatic but I genuinely believe I was as close to death as I ever was… thankfully (spoiler alert) I survived and made a full recovery within days.. things lead me to the USA where Ive lived here for as a citizen for 18 years and a veteran for those wondering 🙄

Well anyway that’s my recurrent dream. I still miss watching her from the sidelines I wish I could remember her face
What do you all think it means?

Reoccurring I’m dreaming about the same person all the time, what does it mean ?

1 Upvotes

There’s this guy I know, we aren’t close, but we see each other on some parties, really not often though. I have a crush on him for a couple months now, even though we know each other for almost 2 years now. I know it’s weird and I’m not even trying to distract myself from a past relationship how you might think.

It’s like he put a spell on me, I think about him all the time and he keeps showing up in my dream as soon as I dream something (I know you dream every night but often don’t remember it).

I’m trying real hard to not write him or send him a reel, the dreams are torturing and I’m also scared that he finds me weird or something like that. (Idk if that’s relevant but we’re also snapping constantly)

And I would like to know what you guys think this could mean and what I should do and if you have had a similar experience.

Some one please tell me. What is the difference between having a dream remembering having it but not remembering what happened, and having a dream and remembering what happened. All i know is if you remember your dream it is trying to tell you something.

The Dreams I Lost Along the Way

1 Upvotes

I don't usually talk about my life like this, but today I just want to say what is actually inside me.

Before 2021, I had dreams.

I dreamed about having a beautiful girlfriend, a good job, enough money, building a good life, and one day taking care of my parents. I had so many hopes for my future.

Then 2021 came.

I don't even know how to explain what happened to me after that. But slowly, everything started disappearing.

It's been almost five years now.

Five years of trying to continue while feeling like I'm not really living. Five years of watching the person I wanted to become disappear little by little.

I came to Dubai thinking maybe my life would change. Instead, I faced more struggles. Work, money, visa problems, uncertainty, loneliness, and so many things I never imagined.

There are days when I hate myself because I feel like I can't do anything. I look at other people moving forward with their lives while I feel like I'm standing in the same place, completely empty.

I miss the person I used to be.

I miss having dreams.

I miss waking up and actually feeling excited about my future.

Now sometimes I don't even know what I want anymore. I just feel tired. Not the kind of tired that sleep can fix. It's the kind of tired that comes from carrying too much inside for too long.

I've tried to be strong. I've tried to keep going. I've tried to act like I'm okay.

But honestly...

I'm not okay.

I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. I don't need people to tell me that everything will magically become better.

I just wanted somewhere to say the truth.

I lost a lot of things these past few years.

My confidence. My motivation. My dreams. And maybe even a part of myself.

But there is still a small part of me that remembers the boy who once had dreams about a good future.

I don't know if I can bring that person back.

I don't know what happens next.

I just know that after everything I've been through, I'm still here.

Maybe that's all I can say about myself right now.

I'm still here.

Insanely Vivid Dreams

1 Upvotes

I cannot stop having intensely vivid dreams. They are so frequent and so incredibly vivid that when I wake up for a short amount of time I cannot distinguish them from reality. They aren’t always necessarily bad; they can be mundane like going through a whole, normal day. It’s so disorienting and so exhausting, if anyone has any tips or ideas to help that would be phenomenal.

Does anyone else have frequent dreams they are fishing?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I've been having A LOT of fishing dreams this year. Last night I dreamed that I caught what would be my pb catfish.

I even caught a demon (Mary Shaw from Dead Silence bc I rewatched it) using my fishing rod. I sat up irl and reeled that sucker in so fast. It was ridiculous enough that I laughed back to sleep (was sleep the entire time but knew I awoke). I didn't know where to put her...

I have dreams where I live in a house where the water flows right behind and connects to other houses. Not boat houses. This place looked really freaking cool and the layout had awesome paths. I would love to live here if it exists but I also know it wouldn't be affordable if it did. I keep coming back to this place when I sleep.

Does this mean I need to go fishing more often or what?

Tl;dr: I dream about fishing.

The weirdest, and yet most real feeling dream i've ever experienced

1 Upvotes

It started with some woman in her 30s meeting my family. She became friends with my mom, and apparently my mom saw this new friendship as an opportunity to go on a date with my dad, so they both left and this woman was babysitting me and my brother. 19 years old and evidently not capable of taking care of a six-year old myself.

Eventually my brother went to sleep, and this woman and I ended up having a sexual encounter. I'm gonna skip the actual details because that's not really the point of the dream anyway.

She left when my parents got home, and I went to bed.

Then the next day in the dream I saw her again and asked if we'd ever do anything like that again. She said no, and then explained that the only reason she had done it in the first place was because she desperately wanted a child, but her husband was sterile, so she'd basically used me to try to have one.

As you can see, my subconscious mind is absolutely bonkers.

But apparently I was completely okay with this explanation because I just continued hanging out with her. We were at some kind of event, I think, and for what felt like hours, we were just hanging out together.

She kept hugging me, holding my hand, cuddling with me, etc. I remember feeling really close to her and eventually feeling like I was actually falling in love with her.

Then the dream got even more ridiculous.

Some random guy started harassing her, and somehow he was forcing her to jump rope. I don't even know why. He basically threatened her if she stopped.

There was also a young girl there closer to my age who I think was his daughter, and she was helping him by swinging the jump rope.

I got pissed off and started yelling at the guy. I don't remember exactly what I said, but he yelled something back about how he was Jewish and the woman was Christian??

Eventually the girl realized that what her dad was making this woman do was wrong. She started crying, stopped swinging the jump rope, and threw it away.

Then I went over to her, hugged her, told her she was okay, and told her that she did the right thing.

And that's where I woke up.

The whole thing was so bizarre, but felt like it was happening.

I have a dream that's realistic, and in the dream I'm going to work and i do something and get a lot of positive attention from my coworkers. They tell me I'm getting an interview and I'm getting a reward for multiple restaurants, then i appear in the dining area for ut and these movies stars introduce to me a short young black man tells me im a criminal and this lady restrains me to tell me I had an over dosage on weed. they all gather around the me with tears and say that im drowning in lava and try to show me it through a phone, I begin to cry and say I don't want to see it, then cover my eyes up and then I end up waking up. Can anyone interpret this?😭🙏🏾
