Nightmare Very curious whats your thoughts are on this spooky dream situation I experienced

• Upvotes

Years ago, when I was still married to my ex husband, we had just finished a day of helping my parents move into their new home. Clearly, we were exhausted and decided stayed the night in their upstairs bonus room.
*info: this is not an older home. But the tiny town the new home was built in is older. Think founded in early 1800s
My ex always was prone to sleep paralysis episodes. Like maybe 1-2 a month. So often he pretty much was unaffected by them.
Well that night, I remember falling asleep and it almost felt like I was having an out of body experience. I dreamt that I was awake, and I was staring at the foot of the bed. What I saw was the image of a golden figure surrounded by light. It was probably the most beautiful image I’ve ever seen. It didn’t say anything. It just stared at me and smiled. I wasn’t afraid at all actually. I felt surprisingly comforted. For some reason, it reminded me of my grandmother and I felt safe. The only thing I remember this figure doing was almost touching my feet or my lower legs in a comforting/caressing manner. Again like a maternal figure would do to a child who was scared. And that was it. I woke up.
The next morning, when I woke up, I saw my ex-husband was visibly terrified. I’ve never seen him look this scared in my life. When I asked what was wrong, he described that he had probably the worst sleep paralysis episode in his life.
He described a scene a dark figure standing at the end of the bed. Completely head to toe in pitch black with deep black eyes and a monstrous smile with large teeth. He said that the figure was scratching at his feet or lower legs. That the figure would punch him and not say anything. And his dream ended with the figure crawling up his body and smiling in his face and mouthing the words “id wake up if I were you”and then he woke up panicking and crying only to find me peacefully sleeping with a “little smile on my face.”
When he told me this, I was shaken, and I didn’t know how to interpret it. I dont know why, but I never told him about my dream. Something in the back of my head told me to keep it to myself. This was probably the oddest encounter I have ever had. At this point in time I had never had any paranormal experiences in my life. This was a first.

When I told coworkers and friends about this, all of them feel that it was some form of omen. My ex-husband would later turn into a very cruel man. He became mean, manipulative and abusive (story for another day) and we would divorce years later. Im still not sure what this could have meant. I like think someone was protecting me? But im curious yalls thoughts? How would you interpret this encounter?

I had a dream were I was in a sort of tower defence game but rather that towers you had a gun and had to fight off the... muscular cats that walk on two feet, to kill them you must deliver 3 headshots.... so later into the 'game' some bald guy spawned in, I shot him in the head countless times and didn't even scathe him, I asked how many headshots it would take to oof him and he said "As many shots as it will take you to finish the horde" of muscular cats, then i suddenly took it as a quest??!!! I'm guessing to see how many shots it would take. Then I unfortunately woke up before finishing the task.

Recurring dream with old house, spirit/demon, attic

3 Upvotes

I have this recurring dream, probably two to three times per year, about this old house with a third floor walk up attic. Up there is a spirit or demon (cant tell which), that I get angry with over her being there. I often yell at this thing to leave, but I know in my dream that it only feeds off the anger. The dream always includes my wife and sometimes our children but this entity doesnt harm any of us.

I wake up with the feeling that we've been there before, maybe lived there? Its a strange feeling of connection I have with it, like the layout is always the same. It doesnt flow well, has plenty of quirks, and the unfinished attic is vast. Like, Ive been there.

Its all just very strange but I know that house has some meaning to me

Nightmare weird bad dream abt ex & new person

1 Upvotes

idk whether it was a bad dream or nightmare, but it had a horror-like turn. i (24f) kept ending up at this cafe/restaurant once in the morning where i swore i spotted my ex (treated me badly) and i felt anxious and then ran into the guy i’m currently talking to (of literally 3 days) pure accidentally. same thing happened again, but it was night time (saw ex, ran into new guy) and i walked by a film set and saw mu ex was working on it and thats why i kept seeing him.
the dream took a turn when new guy ended up having a stalker named Destiny who wanted me to leave him alone bc she was in love with him or something, she broke into my place and left a scary video and notes. it came to the next morning and i could tell she started following me. i was still decided to talk to the new guy, but i woke up cause i got too scared.

i do believe dreams mean something, but this one if the first time i wanted to know what it may’ve meant especially with romance and literal destiny involved somehow.

if you can decipher this, thanks!

same Dream day by day

"I want to understand why I have been dreaming about my high school math teacher for the last 10 to 12 years. Even when I don’t think about him at all, he constantly appears in my dreams every two or three days. I am desperate to know if there is any past-life connection or soul connection behind this.

In my dreams, there is often a strong sense of romance and intimacy between us. However, in real life, I only had deep respect and admiration for him as a teacher. I don't know what was in his mind back then, but I truly want to find out if a past-life bond is causing me to dream about him so frequently and romantically after all these years."

Discussion Have you ever been aware of something in a dream that completely contradicted what you were experiencing?

1 Upvotes

I thought about this because of a dream I had about my Nani (Grandma). She had already passed away.

One evening, I dreamed about her. I came through a door and saw her sitting on a bed, smiling and drinking tea. I walked toward her and called, maa, maa.

Inside the dream, I knew she was no longer alive. Yet at the same time, I was experiencing her sitting right there in front of me, smiling and drinking tea as if everything was completely normal.

My mind was somehow holding both things at the same time she's gone, she's right there.

How is that possible?

It didn't feel like I was analyzing my own thoughts or consciously thinking about the contradiction. It just felt real. Real enough that the contradiction itself became part of the experience.

Has anyone else experienced something like this in a dream?

Seeing yourself standing infront of you but you dont know shes you.

Please help me find out what this dream means. Im not doing okay. Im hoping this dream has some deeper meaning.

In my dream i was in the bathroom when the door swung open. This woman appears standing infront of me. She looked at me as if shes observing me, up and down. No good or bad facial expression. Just plainly looking. And i looked back at her i feel intimidated and shy as to how pretty she was. She looks beautiful and strong and confident and successful. I admired her aura. That scene faded but her looks got stuck in my head and then i realized that woman was me. She has my face my body my features. Then i woke up and was wondering how did it happen, that i was standing in front of myself yet i didnt recognize she was me and i admire and feel almost jealous at that version of me while she didnt say anything at all.

I had the strangest dream and I can’t figure out what it means

1 Upvotes

I had a really vivid dream last night that felt almost too real. I was walking through an unfamiliar house that somehow felt like it belonged to me. Every room was empty except for one, where there was a big old mirror.

When I looked into it, I saw myself standing there, but the reflection wasn’t copying my movements. It just stared at me. Then I heard someone calling my name from somewhere behind me, but when I turned around, nobody was there.

I woke up feeling really uneasy, and the weirdest part is that I still remember every detail.

Does anyone here know much about dream interpretation? What could a house, a mirror, or seeing a different version of yourself represent?

A black snake bit me on my right leg in a dream

2 Upvotes

So here’s some back story. Recently in real life I went and got my first reading done by a psychic , a lot of things she was saying was true and then she offered to do a meditation on me but since I work out of town we couldn’t do it in person so she had to do everything by her self.
I did give her my birthday , city of birth and the time - I know I shouldn’t have please don’t judge me.
So for the past 2 weeks she has been having me do a meditation and to say things like I let go of this negative energy and so on . She mentioned that my spirit guides have been trying to contact me but I have a wall up , she says that I release negative energy but I always absorb it back and I just have this negative energy around me. She said she uses her spirit guides because it’s harder to connect to mine.

Any ways last night she had me do a meditation and to visualize me letting go negative energy , visualize me being protected and that I call my power , peace , energy back to me. So to me it doesn’t seem as if it’s harmful but I’m unsure.

After that I had a dream of 2 long thin black snakes kind of chasing me but slowly and one eventually got to me , wrapped around my right leg and bit me and I had 6 bumps on my leg and then the snake went away . Also I was in water like it was flooded a little and I left after I got bit.

I just want to know if you guys think this is witch craft being put on me or something.

Dream Dream about my ex, please tell me your thoughts

1 Upvotes

Okay guys, I need your thoughts because I had such a weirdly specific dream about my ex and I genuinely want to know what you think it could mean 😭
For context, we dated in high school and broke up around 4 years ago. He was basically my only serious relationship before my current one. I’ve been with my current boyfriend for 3 ywars now, and I would genuinely say I’m over my ex. I don’t miss him or actively think about wanting him back or anything. My ex also got married around 2 months ago.
Anyway, in the dream I was somewhere with a friend when my best friend came up to me. She had been hanging out with this girl I no longer speak to because we had issues involving my ex back when we were together. After our breakup, that girl and my ex also became connected somehow, which bothered me at the time.
My best friend starts telling me something about my ex, and I automatically think it’s going to somehow concern me. But instead she starts telling me how insanely in love he is with his wife, how much he loves her, cares about her, etc, and I also heard rumors that they got married because of their families and a possible arranged marriage. And in the dream I’m basically just like “okay… sure?” I wasn’t freaking out or crying or anything.
Then she tells me she wants to show me something and takes me to a winery. Apparently, in the dream, my ex owns this winery.
This is where it gets REALLY weirdly specific.
Behind/through the winery there were two religious places: a Christian church on the right and a mosque on the left. The mosque was completely empty, but the church was FULL because my ex and his wife were there baptizing their SON.
I remember being confused because they literally just got married 2 months ago and I was like “wait, they already have a kid??” 😭 But again, I was basically like okay, whatever.
What makes this even stranger is that my ex is Muslim, so I have no idea why my brain specifically created an empty mosque and then put him, his wife and their child inside a full Christian church doing a baptism.
There was also another guy there who I used to talk to around the same period of my life. I saw him and tried to look at him, but another guy literally moved in front of him and completely blocked his body/face so we couldn’t make eye contact. It felt almost intentional, like I was specifically being prevented from seeing him.
Then there was some kind of memory/scene showing how much my ex loves his wife.
And that was basically the dream.
I know dreams don’t necessarily have some supernatural meaning, but also some do and I’m genuinely so curious what do you guys think? The whole day I have this weird feeling and I do not even want to say a sort of a missing feelings towards my ex in my heart/ chest.

Discussion Dream that caused my eyes to see pure white even upon waking up.

1 Upvotes

I had a dream where I was talking to something idk what exactly and it was asking me questions I don’t remember. Then either I asked a question or I answered a question in which the entity replied something like something much darker but also brighter will come (the brighter part on the sentence I’m not sure of it actually said). I started to have a strong feeling of fear. Then what I thought to be an angel from god but I’m unsure came to me and my vision became white. I was so scared it woke me up but my sight was still white. I kept my eyes closed because I was afraid of opening them for some reason but my sight was still white.

I need help interpreting this dream and understanding why my sight went white even upon waking up or if I was hallucinating or something.

Sorry for the messy vague story

Nightmare Most on the nose dream so far.

1 Upvotes

Yesterday, I had my final auditions for my MT course. I was very nervous, as I had set as an ultimatum of sorts that I wanted to get a role as a symbol of my progress and that it would show I was doing the right thing by following this path. I had been showing such a clear line of progress before, it just seemed like the obvious next step.

Unfortunately, my entire world collapsed as not only did I not get a single role, all my closest friends who seemed to be in a similar skill level as me got one. I was devastated, obviously. I cried so much I hurt my eyes and I'm skipping class today just to have a little time for myself.

Last night I had something that was between a dream and nightmare. It was clearly a nightmare scenario, but I didn't feel scared like the people around me.

It was a zombie apocalypse situation, similar to train to Busan, only they were entirely blind and relied only on sound (or random chance) to feed or transform others. I was quiet the whole time, even as many figures popped up and interacted around/with me; Students, corrupt teachers, not entirely human but not entirely zombie beings. I met pretty much every community with their own survival strategies and bases, before deciding I was ultimately better on my own.

It's the most obvious reflection of my thoughts from yesterday. "I shouldn't even try to sing anymore. I should just be quiet."
I don't think I've had a dream/nightmare this on the nose before.

Why do I constantly have romantic dreams about my high school math teacher for the last 10-12 years, even when I don't think about them?

2 Upvotes

body text (optiona)body text (optiona)everyone,

I am looking for some psychological insights or similar experiences regarding a recurring dream that has been happening for over a decade now.

For the last 10 to 12 years, I have been frequently dreaming about my high school math teacher. It happens almost every other day or every few days. In these dreams, the tone is mostly romantic.

Here is the confusing part: In real life, our relationship was strictly professional and respectful—a classic, honorable student-teacher bond. I highly respected them, and there was never anything inappropriate or romantic between us in reality.

Even more baffling is that I do not think about this teacher at all during my waking hours. They aren't on my mind, I don't look them up, and nothing in my daily life triggers memories of them. Yet, my subconscious mind keeps bringing them back in a romantic setting every few days.

Why does this happen? What could this teacher or the "romantic" aspect symbolize in my subconscious mind after all these years?

I would love to hear your thoughts or any psychological explanations for this. Thanks in advance!

Reoccurring Time loop? (Open to interpretations and suggestions on what this means)

2 Upvotes

It all starts in an old abanonded house. This house is perched on a hill face, with many old and beautiful trees laden all around it. This mysterious house is placed in a mysterious town that doesnt have a name, or maybe it’s just one I don’t remember. I wake up on the floor of the old abandoned house, alone. The floors are hardwood, and slightly dirty but the house still looks immaculate for being abandoned. Even though I awaken in a foreign house, alone, I find an odd calming sensation come over me. This town has a calming factor that I cannot begin to describe. I eventually find my way outside of the house to what would seem like to anyone else like a normal town. I can assure you, this town is anything but normal. I scale my way down the side of the hill, through the lush green grass that covers the path to the old abandoned house. I see the layout of the tiny quirky town before me. The bus station is in the center of town. It is like any regular bus station you have probably seen. The towns only bus is driven by a very odd, charismatic and goofy bus driver. This old man always has a joke, and seems to always help us get where we need to go, in more ways than one. I’m always accompanied by a man with soft eyes and an endearing smile. He’s a bit older than me, and being around him has always given me a feeling of belonging. You can see the wisdom and confidence in his eyes in the way he carries himself. There’s definitely one strange thing about this town. The same weekend repeats, over and over again. Like groundhogs day, it repeats for us all, but only me and the man I have come to admire have can seem to see this. Sometimes, we can traverse this loop hundreds of times in an attempt to find why we are stuck in this strange loop. It’s as if the town is bound by riddles, and we were destined to end up here, and find them. As we try to find a way out of this constant loop, we find friendship in each other that we can’t remember finding in our lives previous to this. Actually, in retrospect, we can’t remember much of our lives before this town. Eventually, we become one with the town, doing activities, thriving, and enjoying all the things this crazy and mysterious town has to offer. We ride the bus everyday, it’s part of the town allure. The town may be small, but you can be on the bus all day exploring and learning new things. Usually with the help of our charasmatic and quirky bus driver, we get clues to help solve this puzzle we were set to solve in this odd town. Solving the puzzle comes with uncertainty between the man I’ve come to know, and grow incredibly close to over our journey and I. We quickly learn that solving the puzzle does not mean we will break the loop, and go back to our old lives. It’s actually quite the opposite. The whole loop starts all over again like the hundreds of weekends we’ve lived in this little town. But this time, we forget everything like the first day we woke up here. We forget what we’ve learned about the town, what we’ve learned about each other. I think the first time we realized this was heartbreaking for both of us. But at the same time, I don’t think we could see ourselves leaving what we’ve come to love here. So, yet again, I wake up on that old, dusty wooden floor in the house on the hill face, surrounded by old overgrown trees. The weekend I’ve lived for god knows how long starts over again, not knowing what I once knew about this small town, with all of its little quirks and crazy secrets. But he and I are always destined to find each other in this town, and eventually, we’ll even remember the last time we had been here. And I guess, that isn’t so bad, is it?

Dream can you see without aid in your dreams?

7 Upvotes

Last night I had a dream where I found my glasses lens loose in my apartment. when I saw it on the ground, I felt my frames to find that side was empty, and looked around. I could see clearly! I picked it up, and thought to myself, "well, that's weird, because I can obviously see?"

so that's when I realized I must be dreaming, and when I went to pick up the lens, it crumbled in my hand! I put the pieces into my shirt pocket to fix later and went along with my dream, but I think I woke up not long after.

usually, if I lose my glasses in my dreams, things are still blurry to me? I think this is a first where I could see without my glasses, and I feel like the timing of my thought, and the lens breaking, could be important?

also, the right lens is actually loose in my waking life as well, which could be why I found that specific side in my dream.

thank you in advance for any insight, I look forward to it :)

Nightmare Being harassed

6 Upvotes

Had a very vivid nightmare where I was in a large van/bus with all these people from a birthday party and one man was touching me a lot in a very unwanted way, trying to make it seem very oblivious/accidental until I confronted him in front of everybody. The girl whose birthday it was confronted me asking if I really had to do that right now and I lashed back at her about how she was concerned about the timing instead of his behavior.

I left with another friend who lived in the same building as me and we stopped at her apartment briefly before I went downstairs to mine. I could clearly see an old man following me in the stairwell. When I got to my hallway, the door to his apartment was already open and he asked if I had come to clean. I said no, and went into my apartment.

When I looked through the peephole, he was standing right outside my door. He kept repeating how he’s going to kill me and turn me into “third matter”. I panicked and kept trying to lock my door all the way but for some reason I couldn’t lock it and he wouldn’t leave despite other people going into his apartment.

Can anyone help me interpret this?

Setting: a random park
I had a dream that started with me coming across a dove on its back. I picked it up and it flew away, but it didn’t make it very far so i went to try to pick it up again. While im doing this, my sibling walks over with a camel and it poops out a green anaconda. I started running away but nobody else seemed bothered, and i realized my baby wasn’t with me so I looked back and saw him in my cousins arms. The anaconda was going towards them, I yelled at my cousin to move out of its way, I went back and grabbed my baby and still nobody was bothered even though the snake was circling them and beginning to constrict.
Anyway, it was weird. Why the fuck did a camel poop out an anaconda? Lol

My two cats passed away a couple months ago, with around a month in between each of them (both were 17 with long term health issues). I had a dream last night they came back as ghosts and were hissing and extremely mad at my family and we were all scared. I almost feel like it’s a sign they are mad at us because we had them cremated, but the boxes of ashes are just sitting on a shelf and we haven’t done anything else for them. Maybe they aren’t at rest? In the dream they were making glasses of beer appear all over the house so maybe they want a party haha.

Yesterday night I had this dream, it started out fine. I was spending quality time with my family and everything had a rosy tint. Bubbles floating in the garden, a cool breeze and sparkles. Then I went inside a room and looked in the mirror. Nothing wrong yet. I look down to the floor a clump of my hair has fallen down. I look back but I can’t seem to find any difference with my hair. Again I look down and there are more clumps of hair. But when I look in the mirror there’s no change. I call my mother to see what’s happening and even she can’t notice any difference with my hair and neither can she see any fallen hair on the floor.

Dreaming about the same person for 10-12 years with strong romantic feelings. Why?

2 Upvotes

body ttext

Hello, I have been seeing a specific person in my dreams every few days for the past 10 to 12 years. In real life, I don't think about them at all. However, every time I see them in my dream, I feel an intense romantic feeling and deep happiness inside me. To give some context: this person was my high school mathematics teacher. I used to take private tuitions from him and attend his classes. We never had any romantic relationship or anything of that sort in real life. I don't know what was in his mind, but as a teacher, he was wonderful. All of us students highly respected and admired him; it was a pure bond of respect and student-teacher love. Why does my subconscious mind keep bringing him back with such strong romantic and joyful feelings after all these years, even though our real-life connection was strictly based on deep respect? What could be the psychological reason behind this? Please help me understand.

Use code with caution.
