While dreaming, does anyone else visit repeated locations they've never been to in waking life? I regularly have visited quite a few locations that I've never actually seen in my conscious life.

2026-06-26T14:42:32+00:00

There's a series of locations that are almost... Hidden in real life... That I've visited frequently in my dreams.

Like a planetarium that has an amphitheatre inside, and at the base of the amphitheatre is a pool that houses 4 whales. Two orcas and two humpbacks. I visit the planetarium after "closing time", and go to make sure the whales are okay, being fed, cared for, etc.

Another location is a haunted house (not like a theme park haunted house, but a house that is legitimately haunted). It's in a field behind my old therapist's house. There's normally no field behind my therapist's house. But in dream world, there very much is a field and a large Victorian mansion with a grand spiral staircase and a portrait of someone I don't know in the front foyer.

Another location is a glen/forest that is home to a sort of a turquoise colored water spring. There are bridges and weeping willows... It's quite serene and in dream world, it's about two blocks from the house I grew up in. In the real world, it's a little gated off area off the parkway that no one can reach.

Wanted to see if this is common for anyone else and what their experiences are like.

I Had the Most Spiritual and Terrifying Experience of My Life Today. I Don't Know What to Make of It.

2026-06-26T07:06:17+00:00

The Day Before

Yesterday around 6:30 PM, I found out that I unexpectedly had a day off today.

The funny thing is, I had randomly asked one of my colleagues about leaves and holidays during a casual conversation. That's when I learned that I had an optional holiday automatically assigned to me. Apparently, when employees select optional holidays at the start of the year, one had been automatically chosen for me since I joined the company in May.

I was genuinely happy to hear this because I hadn't taken a single leave or holiday in the last three months and was badly in need of a break.

The Physical Part

Around 7 PM, just before dinner, I developed a bad headache.

I've been getting these headaches recently and had been blaming them on travelling, going to the gym, and work stress. Because of that, I had even stopped going to the gym and cut down on travelling.

But yesterday's headache felt strange.

I had slept well, eaten well, hadn't travelled to the office, and hadn't worked out. There didn't seem to be any reason for me to have a headache at all.

The Morning

I went to bed early, around 10 PM, and woke up naturally at about 8:45 AM without an alarm.

I stayed in bed for a while, enjoying the realization that it was a holiday.

Since I couldn't fall back asleep but still wanted to rest, I started reading The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn on my Kindle. I had bought the book only two days earlier after seeing it recommended in a YouTube video about manifestation.

I read Chapters 2 and 3. The book uses many Bible verses and stories, and some of those verses felt strangely familiar to me, while others were completely new.

A Little About My Beliefs

I was born into a Hindu family, but I've always felt deeply drawn to Buddhism and follow many of its teachings. I've come across a few Bible verses before, but I've never actually read the Bible.

I don't know if this detail is important, but it somehow feels connected to what happened next.

The Dream

Around 10 AM, I fell asleep while reading. I often read on my Kindle when I can't sleep because it usually helps me drift off.

Then I had one of the strangest dreams of my life.

I was living in what felt like a different life. I was in a room that wasn't my room, yet it felt weirdly familiar and somehow resembled the one I currently live in.

At some point, I visited a temple. There, I met someone who seemed like a saint or an ascetic. I don't remember our conversation, but I remember him showing me a shiny object near a body of water, almost as if he was explaining something important to me.

I also remember spending a long time in that temple. I somehow knew hours were passing because I could see many people entering and leaving while I remained there.

Then something strange happened.

I kept waking up and then slipping back into the same dream.

Eventually, I realized I was dreaming and tried to wake myself up.

That's when things became terrifying.

I could feel my body and arms being firmly held down against my bed. I tried to force myself awake, but I couldn't move.

Every time I struggled harder, I heard a voice screaming directly into my ear.

At first, I thought I was imagining it.

But it happened again.

And again.

Maybe three or four times.

I became frightened and tried even harder to wake up, but the screaming only grew louder.

Then I realized something even stranger:

My eyes were open.

I could see my room.

I knew I was awake.

But I still couldn't move my body.

Then I noticed something on my ceiling.

Numbers and sentences.

At first, there were only a few. Then more and more appeared until it felt like they covered the entire ceiling.

I tried desperately to read them and understand what they meant, but I couldn't make sense of any of it.

Finally, with one last effort, I forced my body to move. It felt like I literally shook myself free from whatever was holding me down.

The screaming grew louder for a moment and then suddenly faded away.

I could move again.

I was so relieved.

But the numbers and sentences were still there on the ceiling.

They remained for maybe another 10-15 seconds before slowly disappearing.

Now I'm Trying to Understand What Happened

I genuinely don't know what to make of this experience.

Part of me feels like it was something spiritual.

Another part of me wonders if it was some kind of dream or psychological phenomenon.

I live alone, and I've spent most of my life being alone, so the experience has left me a little shaken.

Has anyone here experienced anything similar?

Was this a spiritual experience, sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, or something else entirely?

And do you think I should consult a psychiatrist about it?

Any advice or similar experiences would mean a lot to me.

Thank you for reading.

I’ve always had vivid dreams but this was the most intense sex dream I’ve ever experienced. Anyone else have the ability to return to the same dream??

2026-06-26T20:05:02+00:00

I couldn’t sleep, so I’m half asleep listening to music which is set to stop it at 4:30am. Music stops when my friend A has sent a message asking if I was still up, notified by my earphones. Eyes still closed I ignore the message, take out my AirPods and put them on my side table. I fall asleep on my stomach hugging my pillow under my head.

I feel a light tug on my shoulder to turn my body around… it’s soft and feels weightless as i follow its direction. I’m now on my back and my body seems to sink deeper and deeper into the mattress. I’m engulfed by it but remain in my pitch black room, that’s when I feel it again. The delicate touches moving around my body… pulling at my clothes and caressing me every where. I’m getting moved all over my bed but as I try to open my eyes, I see nothing, only darkness but I’m FEELING everything. My clothes are stripped off and I can’t move or speak as if knowing I’m just too tired to even try.

The buzz of it all is so overwhelming. I realise this fondling actually feel like hands and lips. It doesn’t take me long to start wanting it, I feel pressure at my breast first. Licking and sucking. Then rubbing at my folds, I melt at the sensation. My moans are loud and clear even as I try to suppress them. It feels wrong to be enjoying this. My hips start to move on its own accord, asking for more… that’s when I feel something at my entrance. It pushes inside me and I arch my back at the thrill of it. My senses feel so blurry but heightened at the same time.

The strangest thought pops in my head; that although I’m enjoying myself right now, so much is unknown and it could possibly be multiple demons touching me (Odd ik). I think to myself they better be handsome and a response in my ear whispers “what if I’m ugly” I flinch, surprised at the voice. I turn my body around by reflex, now laying on my stomach. I’m being held down by hands at on hips when a feeling of rubbing on my folds makes my body cave, and I start to lift my hips higher, now in a doggy position. I feel lips trailing down my back but my mind is so chaotic and loud, hating I’ve lost my ability to speak. I think that this position is better off since I can’t see who it is… but I’m scared and whoever is behind me knows it. They start to allow me to crawl away on the bed, I clutch my pillows to my body I’m shaking and trying to force my scenes to come to and wake up!

I fall deeper into the mattress again and open a door where multiply women are. They’re all dressed in bikinis and lingerie, they’re all giggling as I enter. To say I am confused is an understatement, I watch as one of the women starts to receive oral from another, in the middle of the room. I look away instantly, feeling very uncomfortable and the lady’s all laugh at my reaction. I start chuckling at myself too realising how ridiculous this all is, it’s a giggle that turns to a full body laugh. That is until I hear the wet noises and moans from what’s happening in the room. My body relaxes as I start to feel my own arousal growing. My vision goes blurry and I sway on my feet.

I’m snatched back to my bed. Feeling my control back to move freely, I instantly go to grab my remote to turn on my light attached to the wall. It doesn’t work and as I start worrying about what’s going to happen in the dark, the light suddenly turns on to an unusually dim purple colour. I try but give up trying to turn up the brightness and lay on my bed, feeling desperate for release… I then grabbed under my bed where I know my rose toy waits (I wasn’t forced but felt compelled to!) there I find two toys though, one much smaller and not mine, the other my normal rose. I use both on myself, still naked but feeling an odd sensation I’m being watched as I pleasure myself. I look around the room when I see a shadow on the wall where the light shines, the vines from an outside bush I know don’t exist in real life. It moves and grows longer, stretching across the walls. I stare at it knowing the light is restricting my stalkers access. I contemplate what that means and because I’m chasing a release I can’t give myself I give in. I stop what I’m doing and turn off the light. I immediately feel my body getting ravished once again, it’s so powerful and almost magical when I reach my climax, it’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before. I’m basking in the feeling when I sit up in the pitch black room. I know they’re on the bed with me and we’re both panting as I stare in the nothingness.

I think to myself that if this is just a dream I bet the lamp next to my bed wouldn’t turn on, knowing it shouldn’t give me any trouble. I reach over to test it out and I feel my heart drop as the sounds of the clicker switches but no light appears. Weight shifts on the mattress and I go to lay back down on the bed. I feel hands caress all over my skin, hair and face… that’s when I hear noises outside my door.

I’m awake, eyes still closed but im in my original position holding my pillow under my head and fully clothed. I turn my head to the left listening to my mum and dad pottering around in the kitchen. I feel so relieved knowing that I’ve woken from the most intense dream I’ve ever experienced, I hear my phone go off but don’t move as I’m still very tired. I’m lost in a hazy thought of what just occurred when my mind drifts back to fog and I hear my full name being called out. It’s being whispered and it’s calling me almost from far away and moving through soft winds. My head is still turned to the left and I’m eventually pulled by the same soft touches moving me to the edge of the bed. The room is dark as I feel kisses all over my naked back, then face. Their skin feels smooth and cold, like a light breeze until their mouth eventually meet mine. I’m hungry for the first touch to my lips and I feel a hand holding my chin from behind to guide me… when we stop kissing, they rub where my lips are wet and swollen and by impulse I open and close it around a finger.

A growl in my ear sends a shudder though my body and for the first time, I speak and ask “what’s your name” a laugh follows and a smooth cheek rubs softly against mine as they answer in a thick accent always speaking in a soft whisper “Leeeeoooooo” the vowels are dragged on, almost sounding like a snake. They move my head for more access to my neck and I reply breathlessly “that’s pretty” having more confidence now, I ask “ how old are you, Leo” the answer is lost in my cloudy mind as I start to gain consciousness and I feel a bite on my cheek.

I wake up twisting my neck to the left in a sudden movement. My eyes shoot open and I still hear my parents, moving about in the house. I am again in the centre of the bed, hands under my pillow and fully clothed in my grey pjs. I go to grab my phone and see it’s 5:10am, I see my friend A’s message was received 40 mins ago and my heart is beating so loud in my chest I move to turn on my lamp next to my bed. It switches on but as I lay there in the light. I’m haunted by what just happened. Pretty sure I got railed by a demon or ghost!

Something I see in a dream when waking up specifically by closing my eyes for a few seconds.

2026-06-26T21:37:19+00:00

I don't know much about it and there's no way to stop it from appearing other than waking up naturally or by other wake methods? It's mysterious to a point it's creepy. I have theorized it's my own (subconscious?) thanking me for spending time to regulate my emotions. This is my first post so sorry if this is hard to read.

I felt a presence in my dream that followed me into my reality then attacked me when I woke up

2026-06-26T08:36:37+00:00

I had a dream where I wanted to buy something from a street vendor but then I felt an eerie dreadful entity walking behind me. I could feel it getting closer and closer and I didn't want to turn around and face it so I kept looking at the ground thinking about what I should do. It kept getting closer to the point where it was just a few feet behind me like if I turned around I would immediately be facing whatever it was.

I then decided to leave the dream because the being felt powerful and I have this thing where I can leave my dreams at will I just have to close my eyes really hard for a few seconds and then I wake up.

When I woke up, I found myself lying on my back and I was relieved that I left the dream but then I immediately felt a sharp pain that shot from my back through my chest. The pain was so intense that I grabbed my chest but I didn't scream. I just told myself to endure it and eventually it passed. I lay there in bed with my eyes open extremely shocked by what had just happened.

I kept wondering if I had somehow hurt the being’s ego and that’s why it attacked me because I escaped when it was so close to me. I also kept thinking about what would have happened if I had turned around and faced it.

I want to know if anyone had a similar experience but this is one of the craziest dreams I’ve had so far.

Weird dream - eclipse and naked

2026-06-26T21:59:54+00:00

I had a dream I was naked and my husband wouldn't let me borrow his jacket. He seemed annoyed with me. I asked him for his keys to leave as we were at a school surrounded by people. I felt so exposed walking around.

Suddenly, it was pitch black outside as there was a solar eclipse. There was a countdown on TV until it finished, and then I could see outside as it was becoming gradually lighter.

characters gaining consciousness in my dream

2026-06-26T18:12:05+00:00

i just wanted to pop on here and tell yall about the dream i just had and see what you guys think
basically in the dream i downloaded this new game onto my phone and it was some like, interactive manga story type game.
and i dont remember what the story was exactly about but i do remember it took place in some type of lab.
anyway, i become sort of addicted to the game and im playing it a bunch but things start getting really weird. like parts of the story and the dialogue start getting really specific to me and like, where i was at and stuff.
and there came a point where i slightly suspected the game characters were conscious or something but i was like "no thats impossible"
UNTIL i set my phone down and one of the villains of the story turned its head toward the screen to break the fourth wall (and in the story game the characters dont move cause it was like a manga so it was just still frames)
but he turned toward the screen and moved his hands up to his face and started pulling on the skin around his eyes and he said "i know youre there."
so i got freaked out and backed away from my phone so he couldnt see me and he said "you cant hide. i know where you are. i know what you look like. i know everything about you."
then i grabbed my phone and closed out of the game but i could still hear him and then my phone started glowing really bright, and then my tablet started glowing and the tv and every screen in the house started glowing bright and i could hear this guys voice coming from everywhere and he started evil maniacally laughing.
then everything stopped glowing and it went silent
then my phone opened the game by itself to a frame of the guy holding up a photo of me in my room (it was literally a photo of me in that exact moment)
and the words in the frame said "i hope youve enjoyed controlling our fate, now its time for us to control yours."

Dream Tag

I had a dream where me and a friend were playing tag. We were adults and exactly as we are now, but in the dream we were very much childlike. Giggling and laughing like little six year olds while chasing each other around. It was so fun and it felt nice to feel like that young of a kid again. Not sure why I had that dream, but I wanted to share it. It was one of those dreams that had u waking up feeling good 😌

became a woman in a dream

2026-06-26T10:14:23+00:00

i'm a man and i became a woman in a dream. i had no idea of what kind of woman it was as i was in the first-person perspective and there was no mirrors to look at myself objectively but i could certainly see part of my body in first-person view. besides, in the dream, i had a clear sense of identity that i was a woman. the "story" in the dream was: i dated a man and he walked me home to my front door. i didn't let him in but we kissed. i was aroused and i said goodbye and got back to home before things went further. after closing the door i was naked and felt extremely horny. i could see my naked female body from first-person view and i could feel the heat inside. it was a strange dream. i had never has such kind of dream before. i didn't have any similar experience nor fancy about anyone for this situation. i didn't watch porn that night before the dream. just sharing. any thoughts?

I think I was attacked by a demon or something last night

2026-06-26T14:24:49+00:00

Last night I had the scariest most terrifying dream I’ve ever had. It was me, my bf, and my daughter. We were in a restaurant getting food and all of a sudden someone came in and started shooting. Everyone ran and when I went to look for my daughter she was killed. I was in the dream breaking down screaming crying and woke up the exact way. Face soaked with tears whole body shaking and couldn’t breathe. I woke up with nothing but FEAR in my heart. I’ve never ever even with real life experiences ever felt a pure genuine deep feeling of fear the way I did when I woke up. I looked at the time and it was 3:09 am. My bf woke up trying to calm me down the best he could but I couldn’t for the life of me get this feeling of pure fear out of my heart. I’m just literally terrified right, so I’m sitting up just trying to calm down and nothing is working. I’m looking around the room to find some to root myself with back onto this plane you know something to bring my feelings back into reality. As I’m looking around crying hyperventilating I see in my closet these 2 red lights. Not like a light light but it looked like my bfs beam on his gun. Like 2 red dots or orbs just floating. I closed my eyes as fast as I could and started praying and praying and praying. Praying over me my mind my bf and daughters mind for protection begging god to protect us until I fell asleep. I couldn’t even bring myself to open my eyes I was so terrified. I’ve told my bf fairly recently I’ve always felt like there was something heavy following me my whole life. I always felt I was super sensitive to spiritual stuff and I’m a very spiritual aware person today, but next in my entire fucking life have I experienced something so fucking terrifying the way I did last night. Maybe it was nothing maybe it was something. To add onto that earlier that day I was joking with my bf about the cat playing with my daughter’s hamster that passed because he was swatting and trying to like mess with something I just couldn’t see. But idk if I’m going crazy by connecting the 2 but my bfs cat and mine absolutely would not come in the room last night while I was up. One was actually walking back and fourth from my room door to the living room but not coming into the room.

Maybe someone can help me figure what’s going on or send me the right way as to what I can do research wise. Last night was not normal at all. And I’m terrified that something tried to attack me more than it was just a bad dream, I’ve had bad dreams before. Never anything like that and never anything that made me feel the way I did last night. Also to add when I was really young my grandma told me a story about my dad at 5/6 years old seeing the same exact red light thing but they always described it as red eyes not orbs.

People who imagine fake scenarios before sleep

2026-06-26T19:06:24+00:00

Why Do Some People Imagine Fake Scenarios Before Sleep?

Have you ever noticed yourself lying in bed, creating imaginary conversations, romantic stories, or exciting adventures that never happened? If so, you're not alone. Many people build detailed fictional scenarios before falling asleep. This habit is surprisingly common and, in most cases, completely normal.

Why Do We Do It?

Our brains don't simply switch off at bedtime. As we relax, the mind often wanders freely. Imagining stories can serve several purposes:

Stress relief: Creating pleasant or successful scenarios helps shift attention away from worries and daily stress.
Emotional comfort: Imaginary situations may provide feelings of love, confidence, or achievement that someone wishes to experience.
Creativity: Writers, artists, and highly imaginative people often create stories naturally before sleep.
Mental rehearsal: Some people imagine future conversations, presentations, or life events as a way of preparing themselves.

Is It Healthy?

For most people, yes. Daydreaming before sleep is a normal part of human imagination. It becomes a concern only if:

It prevents you from falling asleep regularly.
It interferes with work, school, or relationships.
You prefer imaginary worlds over real-life interactions most of the time.
It causes significant distress or becomes difficult to control.

In these situations, speaking with a mental health professional may be helpful.

Benefits of Bedtime Imagination

When balanced, imagining fictional scenarios can have positive effects:

It promotes relaxation.
It stimulates creativity.
It helps process emotions.
It can improve mood before sleep.

Many people even use guided visualization intentionally to reduce anxiety and fall asleep more easily.

Finding Balance

If your imagination helps you relax and doesn't interfere with your daily life, there's usually no reason to worry. However, if you find yourself spending hours creating elaborate fantasies every night or avoiding real-life challenges through imaginary stories, it may be helpful to develop healthier sleep habits, such as reading, meditation, or journaling before bed.

Conclusion

Imagining fake scenarios before sleep is a natural experience shared by many people. It reflects the brain's creativity and emotional processing rather than a sign that something is wrong. Like most habits, it is healthiest when it enhances your well-being instead of replacing engagement with real life.

The Dream Theory That Has Me Questioning Reality

2026-06-26T05:38:22+00:00

What if dreams aren't actually just dreams? What if every time we fall asleep, our consciousness somehow enters another dimension, another time, another reality, and we experience life through someone else's eyes? Maybe that's why some dreams feel so real. We laugh, cry, fall in love, get scared, and sometimes it feels like we've lived for days or even years, even though only a few hours have passed here. Then we wake up, but just like we don't remember anything from before we were born, maybe we aren't meant to remember that life either. All that's left are a few random flashes, a face we can't recognize, a place we've never been, or a feeling we can't explain. And what if that's actually true? Then who's to say this life we're living right now isn't also someone else's dream? What if we're the person inside someone else's dream, and they believe this is their real life just like we do? And the moment they wake up... that's it. Game over. Our entire existence disappears, not because we died, but because the dream simply ended. We'll probably never know if any of this is true, but it's one of those thoughts that can keep you awake at night, wondering if reality is actually as real as we think it is.

I think I am stuck in a dream and people are trying to pull me out of it

2026-06-26T23:01:23+00:00

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to post I could t think of anywhere else, let me know!

For the past few months i've been increasingly getting the feeling of being in a dream all the time. I can't pinpoint when exactly it started but I know it's been at least since Christmas. I think it is a dream because I frequently lose time and place, show up in places randomly with no memory of getting there hours later, people say strange disjointed things to me, and i've been receiving messages that I think are meant to convince me to wake up, or give me directions. I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced this and how they managed to break out of the dream?

When I hear or read the messages, I always feel a very profound sense of duty like i'm supposed to do something right now or else, but i'm stuck on not knowing what to do. My life has been confusing and disorienting since this started and I would like to go back to when things made sense. I've been trying to focus very hard on my memories of when things felt normal in hopes that might bring me closer but no luck so far.

IKEA playplace swing set

2026-06-26T22:41:40+00:00

Last night, I had a wild dream where I was in the IKEA play place and it was like mid-2007 or maybe 2008 (I don’t know, I was young). Except for a ball pit, there was this large platform with swing sets, but all the swings were black. One side of the set went into a ball pit that was over a tall wall and the other went into a ball pit that was on ground level. I swung on the side with the ground-level ballpit and when I got to the right apex, I flew off and landed in the ballpit.

Dream stalker?

2026-06-26T02:09:04+00:00

I had two nightmares a couple months ago and my husband may have stopped them?

The first one I was smoking on my mom's old front porch when a man gets dropped off at the corner and starts walking in my general direction. It looks like he was going to pass by the house out of view but he suddenly turns and runs at me, then starts attacking me. I started yelling "no" and yelling my husband's name and that's when my husband woke me because I was yelling in my sleep.

The next one is similar, I was taking the trash out at work and was walking back to the building when I hear someone quickly approaching from behind me then they grabbed me. Like the first one I start yelling "no" and yelling for help and my husband wakes me up because of my calling out.

THIS is where it gets weird. A couple weeks after my last nightmare my husband had a nightmare about watching someone stalking me. He ran after the man and strangled him. I havent had a similar nightmare since!

Promised someone in a dream I would find them in real life after I woke up

2026-06-26T17:43:29+00:00

Had a dream last night where I reconnected with a friend I haven't talked to in at least 6 years. I don't remember a lot of the details now but we got really close again.

At some point during the dream, both of us realized it was a dream and started planning how to find each other when we woke up.

At the end of the dream, I started to realize I was waking up and we both promised each other we'd find each other in real life.

And then I woke up.

Anyway, not going to reach out to her lol but that was a wild experience.

Strange dream

2026-06-26T17:39:33+00:00

I had a strange dream, actually two strange dreams. In the first one, I was with my school friends in the city. I realized I was dreaming and somehow we had to go back to school or something like that. At one point, we went into a place like a mattress store (I know, weird), but everything changed. The atmosphere became very similar to the Backrooms: yellowish lights, mattresses scattered everywhere, some areas like a maze.

While we were moving forward, we saw a tall creature with deformed limbs. It must have been about three meters tall, very thin, black body with a white face, like something from analog horror. That thing started chasing all of us. I assume some didn’t make it, but I did. I managed to run and get out of that place. When I got out, I kept running because it was still behind me. I entered a fancy building, like a hotel, and the creature couldn’t get in. I guess it can’t handle too much light. But inside the hotel there was an old woman who gave off a really bad feeling, even worse than the creature. She tried to come talk to me, but I ran away again and went out through the back of the building.

The creature started chasing me again. I ran into a street full of drunk people and random people, but nobody helped me. I kept running until almost sunrise. I reached a place with a huge bright sign. I wasn’t scared anymore, it was more adrenaline and curiosity about what would happen next, and that’s where the dream ended. That dream was about four weeks ago.

The second dream happened early this morning. It was very confusing. I should mention I’m aware of my dreams—I have lucid dreams where I can control everything. I don’t remember how it started, but I wasn’t at home or anywhere I recognize. I was surrounded by people talking. I stayed still and realized I was dreaming, and I remembered my friend told me to say “this is a dream,” so I did.

Everyone looked at me weirdly. The environment started to distort, there were glitches everywhere, everything turned white (I didn’t faint). And then that creature appeared again. This time it came closer to me. I froze—I couldn’t move or wake up. It grabbed my shoulders and spoke to me. Its mouth moved in a strange, distorted way. I don’t remember what it said, It scared me so much, I couldn't wake up, until that thing finished "talking" then I suddenly woke up.

When I woke up, my room felt strange—darker, colder. It wasn’t my room… or it looked like it but didn’t feel like it. It was a weird sensation. I couldn’t get out of bed. I tried to remember the dream and then I “woke up” again—like a dream within a dream. What’s even weirder is that when I woke up, I saw my brother from behind serving breakfast, and I fell asleep again, and when I woke up for real, he had just arrived home. Everything felt off.

Also, months ago I dreamed I was on a ship and a tall creature was stalking me through the windows of my cabin. I don’t know if it’s the same creature or not. What do you think?

I can't explain why but my dream involving Keanu Reeves is hilarious

2026-06-26T21:21:42+00:00

Dream I had a few years ago.

This is how it unfolds.

I am in my small Italian village where I actually grew up in real life and where nothing ever happens.

All of a sudden.

People start running around and losing their mind.

I hear the news from somebody that Keanu Reeves happens to be here because he is shooting a movie in a big city nearby and he will spend half a day here.

Mind you, nothing ever happens here, so the local administration takes the opportunity to make a bit of advertising for the town.

Suddenly there is a literal stage that they built, I get pushed on it and they tell me that they are shooting a local news report and need somebody to present (me, obviously). They say don't worry, they will whisper me the lines from the backstage. I go along with it.

I'm on the stage, in front of a big enthusiastic crowd, holding a mic.

In front of me there is actual Keanu Reeves. He looks slightly disoriented but also willing to play along for the sake of the small town turism ad.

They whisper the following and I repeat every sentence:

"We are here today, to celebrate a great star happening to visit our small provincial village in the north of Italy!"

*crowd cheering*

"And not only are we grateful for his presence honoring us, today we also know it's his birthday and we got him a present!"

*Me looking confused, whispering toward backstage* (a present???)

Somebody hands me a package

I hand the package to Keanu, who opens it.

He takes out an action figure of himself.

I think to myself "oh, that's a nice idea :) it's not like we could gift him something that he doesn't have, he is rich, so we gift him an action figures of himself as a way to say "you are so awesome that the best thing we could think of it's you" ".

He thanks us politely but something in his eyes is off as he looks at the action figure.

Change of scenery.

I am in front of a giant door, alone.

Silence everywhere.

I open the giant door.

I enter into a dark giant room.

At the bottom of the large room, there is a giant chimney with fire burning inside, that shines a faint light in the room. In front of the chimney, there is the dark silhouette of Keanu Reeves. He is holding a liquor glass and spinning the liquor in the glass obsessively, while staring maniacally into the fire, not facing me.

I take a couple of steps into the dark room. I realize. I cannot see the walls, though they are very high. Because. All the walls. Are covered. With different action figures. Of Keanu Reeves. Different editions. Different sizes. Funkopops of his roles. All the possible existing Keanu Reeves action figures.

The room is double the height of a normal room but I cannot see an inch of wall.

I look at Keanu.

I ask him.

"Did your fans give you all of these?"

He turns around.

Looks at me.

Bags under his eyes.

Desperation in his eyes.

The deepest voice tone possible.

"Yes."

I wake up immediately.

TLDR: Keanu Reeves visits my Italian small village and later I found out he is totally overwhelmed by his fans gifting him enormous amounts of action figures of himself

Oliver Tree

2026-06-26T01:18:00+00:00

You know I've been following this guy for a long time I even have his debut album on cassette, so please don't take any offense to this. But I swear to God maybe a week or 2 before his accident I had a dream where this guy was in a circle with all his buddies trying to convince them about dying for popularity. I can't say the specifics but it was something all the line of, "here me out guys if we die, you know how big we'll be." kind of thing. And everyone around him including me kind of gave each other a face like wtf that's too much. That's as much as I remember from the dream but it's crazy thinking about it now because it was right before Oliver Tree died and he seems like the type to joke about that kind of thing. Idk just seemed weird and coincidental so I wanted to talk about it...

A magnolia tree

2026-06-26T21:04:46+00:00

Hi all, long time lurker, hoping you guys can help me out?

It’s not usually this difficult to figure out what my dreams mean, but this one is really stumping me.

I was in a large, overgrown garden with stone walls and concrete buildings - the garden was flourishing, but it was clear nobody had been there for some time. In my dream I explored this place a while, and then I came across this magnolia tree. I was perhaps standing behind one of the walls or looking out the window from one of the buildings, but I could see that it was a large tree, fully in bloom, and the image stayed with me all day once I woke up.

Like I said, absolutely no clue with interpretation, but the image of the tree felt so significant that I wanted to ask for some help, so here I am! Any and all thoughts are appreciated, thank you <3

Mysterious face In dreams?

2026-06-26T14:58:11+00:00

I know many people have had these type of dreams.. So how about those dreams where we kind of fall for a total stranger? Being with this total stranger but feeling like we’ve known eachother forever? For me, I felt adventurous like a kid when I was with her but also a feeling of knowing that I met my perfect match!

I know dreams can mean many things but I also know that dreams can send you pretty direct messages! Yes subconsciously maybe many of us want that perfect match BUT… out of billions of people, so many different facial patterns, why this specific person with this specific hair and smile? With this beautiful peaceful feminine energy? Man, waking up I was really disappointed! I couldn’t remember her face at all!

Maybe my brain created all of this out of my own wants or desires in life But, what if some of our dreams are trying to lead us towards someone? Are these actually people living their lives somewhere in this world or another dimension? How many dreams have I actually been in that I have no idea about? Dreaming of specific people has always fascinated me!

I had another dream about the end times

2026-06-26T11:07:01+00:00

I had another dream that seems to be about the end times.

I found myself in a temple floating high in the sky. It had no walls, yet it resembled an ancient Greek temple. Everything was brilliantly white. What felt strange, though, was that it was filled with modern-day people; the kind you see in busy city scenes in movies. Some were passing by, others were chatting, buying, and selling. It was as if the temple itself served as the backdrop to ordinary modern life.

Then I saw a gigantic white serpent slowly wandering through the area. No one else seemed to notice it. Everyone remained absorbed in their routines, almost as if they were on autopilot. I was the only one who saw it, and simply looking at it filled me with fear.

After a couple of days, I heard loud trumpets and sounds as if people were rejoicing right before falling asleep.

This was back in 2018.

Does anyone else have a feeling of Dragons coming back?

2026-06-26T13:11:40+00:00

I saw a weird sequence of numbers in a dream. The numbers were 110154 before they switched to 1112507511.

I have no idea what to do with this. There was no significant thought that came to my mind when I saw this number in the dream. It doesn't seem like an angel number, or anything related to traditional numerology. But I do recall seeing the date "26th," which just so happens to be today for me.

In my dream, the number appeared in my sketchbook. I started writing the same thing under it as a way to not forget it when I woke up. I remember saying "111250" then stopping there because I questioned, "Wait, why am I rewriting something that is already there?” Sadly, dream logic kicked in and I forgot that I was doing it just to remember.

I also remember seeing 7501, but there's a high chance the numbers were arranged differently. I don't think I fully remember the order except for three 1s followed by a 2 at the beginning.

The Dragons:

In the dream, archaeologists were digging up giant snake bones. The news reporter said, "We have never seen this species of snake before," and the bones were rattling the scientists. But in the dream, I was like, those are dragon bones, clearly they're dragon bones.

I for some reason recalled the Law of Universal Disclosure & Karma. A law saying that you have to tell people what you're doing or there will be major consequences. And I just remember thinking: that's why they're discovering the bones. Because they have to tell us something before it comes.

Then a small white snake entity—not white skin color, but glowing white. It swam up to me in the ground, inside the Earth. The only way I saw it was because it was glowing. Once it swam up to me (or into me, I'm not sure what happened there), I just had this revelation that the dragons are coming back, and the bones are telling us this.

I remember dancing and jumping around happily clicking my heels and singing the dragons are coming back yay!

I even woke up briefly at 4 o'clock cheering "The dragons are coming back" before drifting back to sleep.

I think I saw the sequence of numbers before I had the dragon dream.

[]

This also lines up with some strange physical synchronicities that have been going on in my life involving dragons.

I remember eating dinner with my mom and all of a sudden asking her, “Do you like dragons?” and she happened to be watching a video about dragon royalty (I don't know, some AI-generated show, whatever).

Then a game of mine, after 3 years, finally released a new Dragon-class character after the 1st ever on. And guess the plot, the dragons are fighting a corrupted version of an elemental classes. I don't know about this one, but it is quite the coincidence. 😭

Then suddenly House of the Dragon appeared on my FYP. Which was a bit weird for my algorithm, and I even had to look up what it was. It turns out it's a TV show.

There is some other stuff, but it all started about two months ago. At the time, the majority of the minor ones just flew past me. The major ones I can remember: one was a giant white dragon saying something about, “She's been waiting.” Another was a brief flash of a gray dragon laying down; he didn't look like a Chinese dragon with a serpent-like body, this one looked like a Western dragon.

Dead/missing people from my family

THEM - 324, US -405. (Dream about the war.)

2026-06-26T13:03:31+00:00

I had a dream today.
Covered in torn clothes, atop a cold hill I bore a heavy machine gun, rusted from the rain, snow and the mud. Beside me were my comrades.
I was back home. I was a soldier in battle, lying in the grass, waiting for the enemy to show their heads for us to pop them off with a precise shot.
We couldn’t just spray in a general direction of where they were. We barely had any ammo.

As I shot at the fellow man in my family land, I heard screams from afar, screams from nearby. My people were dying, both soldier and civilian becoming casualties in this war for something so unclear.

The soldiers downhill, like a black wave in the grass, moves towards our shore. We kept shooting until the wave turned into a splash of flesh and blood.
I sighed and turned around only to see a large screen made out of millions of flickering little lamps attached to the church tower we’ve used for cover.

With a mechanical yelp it spoke with text:

THEM — 324
US — 405

From what I understood, this meant kills. It certainly seemed like I heard exactly 324 gunshots from our hill.

I then began wandering until I met my own mother. In an instant I transformed into a child —a rugged parody of a uniform too big for my body, my machine gun weighing me down.
I dropped them of course, and began following my mother, slipping and sliding upon the wet soil, drenched and stained from the rain, blood and gunpowder. The lush green vegetation around me was also covered in the same concoction, but just with a thin layer.

As we walked, down the path that seemed way too familiar, stepping around or over the bodies, mangled by my gunfire, my mother stopped at the entrance into the woods.

She smiled and collapsed onto the ground. I ran up to her, held her head with all strength a child could muster up, and she spoke to me. I didn’t hear what she said with her tired voice, or perhaps simply don’t remember, but I felt a mix of emotions — sadness, relief, but mostly disgust. Not of myself and what I’ve done, but disgust of my own mother, which was growing cold in my own hands. I wish I could have told her about it right there and then, but I couldn’t.

I already had my phone in my hands, calling for an ambulance. My tiny hands held it clumsily, shaking.
With each dialtone my mother’s breath became heavier and raspier.

Someone picked up. Not someone from emergency services.

Their voice seemed like something I’ve heard many times before. Behind their muffled speech I could only recognize a couple of words. The only thing that was sensible enough for me to understand was something about the “golden horns”.

A White place.

2026-06-26T20:27:31+00:00

Hello everyone.

Can anyone give me an interpretation?

Thank you

Since I was young, every so often I have an "abstract" (that's what I call it) dream. The dynamic is always the same. I'll describe what I see, and in terms of feelings, I'll try my best.

Note: Most of the time my dream happens just as I'm about to fall completely asleep. I can sense that I'm asleep, but not fully.

Everything starts with white. It's like a white space, just white, no walls or anything that could define the size of this space. I can't even call it a space because it feels infinite. I am in this space but I can't see myself. I know I'm there, but I can't see myself. It feels as if I'm part of this white world. I could describe it as just a white universe and nothing else.

It feels very peaceful and relaxing.

At one point I hear a faint, distant sound. I can't define it at first, then gradually it becomes clearer. It sounds like a rumble, like a storm, like a waterfall. Gradually, a sense of danger. I can feel something is coming but I can't see it. Everything is white. The sound of the storm becomes louder and louder. And at this point I see it. I see it, but I can't tell if it's close or far from me, above me or below me, right or left.

I SEE A BLACK DOT. A TINY BLACK DOT AND WHITE, WHITE EVERYWHERE.

The sound of the storm is getting louder and closer. I look at the black dot and I know that it is me. The black dot is me. But I'm not.

I can see it. It feels like I am the dot. But I know I am not.

I am just a spectator. But what am I looking at? I can't be just a spectator, as I'm part of this white universe. I am the white universe and the black dot.

I know that something is coming. The dot (me) is tiny. For whatever is coming.

I think about moving, about running, about hiding. But nothing happens. Everything is white, and I look at the black dot and I hear the sound.

Suddenly a wave of something enters my dream. It's like a sandstorm. Like chaos.

No dot, no white universe. A kind of storm...

And then I wake up.

Every time it happens I want to fall asleep again and dream again. For some reason the feeling of peace and calm I sense in the first part of the dream feels beautiful. Impossible to describe. When I wake up I don't feel panic or any sense of fear or worry.

I just hope that when I'll fall asleep again I'll be dreaming again of the white universe. The peace.

And I know I will. I don't know when, but I will.

This is my dream. Since I was a kid, I've had this dream.

What do you think?

i need help and can't figure this out

2026-06-26T14:04:11+00:00

Okay so I'm 28 now, my friendship with this girl ended when i was 24, for context im also a woman and I'm straight. We met when I was 20 in university and our friendship lasted 4 years, it ended in 2023. We were extremely close, we shared everything, we acted more like a couple than best friends. We'd kiss from time to time, flirt and watch adult content together too and our boundaries were practically non existent.

My friendship with her ended because she just wasnt who I thought she was and we had a fight, after which I was completlely ghosted with 0 efforts on her end to make things right despite me reaching out. She actively stopped others from being my friend and did her best to get me banned from events she was going to.

The whole time we were together, it was like i was in some trance with her. She did vile awful two faced things to others infront of me and called it 'self love' and my moral radar never ever lit up all that time until she cheated on her boyfriend and encouraged another friend of hers to cheat too in the name of 'self love.' We were inseparable those years, and the way things ended hit me out of nowhere. Im doing good now I have true friends who support me, a boyfriend woh does everything for me and supports me more than she ever did, but i still dream about her regularly. In some of them, we're friends again, in some I'm hiting her and lashing out violently. I saw her at a party a year ago and called out to her, but she ran away from there. She can't look me in the eye anymore and hides from me and does her best to ostracize me because she can't face me.

The dreams don't stop, the ache in my chest never goes away, it's a constant anger and bitterness at how things ended, I feel angry as hell and unfairly punished when I see her, because she sufffered 0 karma for what she did to me and is living her best life without having had to work hard for anything. It;s weird because it's not like I'm not happy, I'm doing better than I've ever done in life and have all my needs met, so why? I want to see her suffer still, we haven't spoken in 4 years and everytime I htink I'm moving on I have another dream about her and I wake up with that sadness all over again. I don't know what this is, can someone help me? What does this sound like and what should I do to finally let it go? Do you think it's unresolved from her end and so it manifests in my dreams? What the hell do i do? i WANT TO FORGET SHE EXISTS AND NOT BE BOTHERED IF I SEE HER

I tried killed myself in my dream

2026-06-26T05:01:06+00:00

Anonymous post because I don’t want people inside my life to know about this. I am depressed and passively suicidal. Within my dream there was a pill that only gave you a day left to live and after weirdly getting consent for my girlfriend to take my own life I kept telling myself it was the right decision. The panic I felt after realizing what I did was incredibly vivid. I remember telling myself I cursed myself out of a future with my girlfriend and that I didn’t want to die at 18. When I woke up I immediately hugged my girlfriend and swore to myself I would never resort to suicide. I’m still thinking about this dream after a few days and I’m wondering if it was my brain trying to tell myself something, any thoughts would be nice.

Recurring small teeth in dreams

2026-06-26T15:56:27+00:00

Every few weeks or so I have this recurring dream where some/all of my teeth fall out to reveal a smaller set of teeth underneath.
it’s become so common that in my dreams I’ll tell people around me that my teeth falling out isn’t a huge deal, because it happens all the time and I have sets and sets of smaller teeth underneath my current teeth.

any idea what this could mean? I know teeth falling out is an extremely common dream, but would small teeth underneath your actual teeth have any specific meaning?

I had this nightmare almost a year where I saw a large shadow of some person like shape. I was trembling during that dream. When I woke up I brushed it off as a sleep paralysis episode/demon (I have had only one sleep paralysis up until this one). Now I am wondering out of curiosity, are these sleep paralysis demons negative entities or jinn or something like that? Can they be made to visit someone else?

Recurring Dream Location

2026-06-26T19:30:09+00:00

Does anyone else experience this… when I dream, the location of these dreams are the same two places: 1.) my elementary school 2.) my childhood home

It’s so odd because no matter what the dream is about it will always take place in one of these locations, or both!

What does this mean???

Met a mystery man in my dream

2026-06-26T14:52:21+00:00

Hi everyone :) I had a dream that I literally cannot get out of my mind. Any perspectives on this would be so appreciated.

I had this dream last night and started my period in the morning, which I typically find is a very deep and emotionally charged time of the month.

I had this profound dream of being in an old, wood shack book store. My mom, grandmother, and sister were coming in and out of the store. We were taking shelter there. At one point, they bought my favorite snacks, things I haven’t seen in over a decade (animal crackers, etc). I set up a blanket for my grandma and I to lay on. I was holding her hand. Quick note, my grandma is my mother figure.

the dream breaks, and I find myself walking through an old 1800s home at the top of my childhood lake/hiking area. This is my favorite place to be, and somewhere I’ve always wanted to live near to. I’m even considering moving back to my childhood town.
I had never seen a home there before. But it felt like this home had always existed in this place, and I was inside the bathroom doing a tour around with a “mystery man”, which I’m assuming was a casual date.

the dream then flashes to the same bookstore again. I’m laying on the guy’s chest and we’re looking deep into our eyes, not a word said. I touch the ”mystery man’s” arms and notice how he looks. He has lean muscles, dirty blond hair, khaki shorts on, and a green short sleeve/polo shirt. He’s also wearing wire glasses. I will mention, this is almost identical to something I wore when I was younger (I had a tomboyish style).

He’s nerdy, but that also made me intrigued because I knew we could have deep talks about the books in the store. I remember thinking that I’ve been searching for someone to have deeper talks with. The one thing he asked me about was a scary ex of mine. He said, “what was his name again?”. I looked into his eyes again, then looked at my grandma as I reached for her hand, then woke up.

it was so potent and held all these elements of my childhood. The books were reminiscent of my love for books and deep conversations, but also for all the possibilities that lie ahead. I also find myself thinking about this guy so much today. I can remember the feeling of being grounded and enamored by him- I wish I could dream again just to re-experience that charged, electrifying feeling.

What could this mean? Is there a precognition element here? Thank you for the outlet to share this dream and discuss :)

I Had One of the Most Terrifying Dreams of My Life and It Felt Unbelievably Real

2026-06-26T04:12:35+00:00

Last night, I had one of the most vivid nightmares I’ve ever faced, and I honestly can’t stop thinking about it.
In the dream, I was lying in my bed just like I normally do. My room looked completely normal. My roof is made of glass, and outside it, I suddenly noticed something flying.
It wasn’t human.
It had the body of a baby but the face of a horrifying adult. The face was pale, twisted, and absolutely disgusting with a terrifying expression that I can’t even describe well. It also had four small devil-like wings and a tail. It never actually entered my room; it stayed outside above the glass roof but kept staring directly into my eyes.
That eye contact is what scared me the most. It felt smart, like it knew I was watching.
Instead of hiding, I somehow pulled out my phone and tried to take a picture of it because I wanted proof of what I was seeing. Right after I did that, everything changed. Suddenly, I was teleported into what felt like its room. I don’t even know how to describe the place. It happened instantly.
At that point, I convinced myself, “No… this has to be a dream.”
The moment I thought that, I woke up immediately.
I was back in my bed, the creature was completely gone, and I realized it had all been a dream. There was clearly no photo on my phone, but the whole experience felt so unbelievably real that it’s still stuck in my head.
I’ve had nightmares before, but nothing this realistic. Has anyone else gone through something similar where you realized you were dreaming, woke up instantly, and still remembered every detail so clearly?

Blob dream

2026-06-26T17:57:04+00:00

I left this as a comment on a different post, a few days ago. Thought I'd give it a post of its own though. This was a dream that felt physically strange while I was dreaming it. I can hardly articulate what I mean by that, other than I just had these unearthly sensations in my body.

I had this dream sometime last year that I was a.....I don't really know, I suppose perhaps an amoeba? I don't know how else to describe it. It was this awful feeling of having very limited senses and trying my best to evolve while just being stuck as this fluorescent little blob, rolling and moving my way through what appeared to be some type of....shopping mall? As I rolled over objects trying to collect them into my blob form. Just fluorescent lights in pinks and oranges, lighting up and fading away as I struggled to see, feel, and grow. I was rolling and blobbing my way over objects that I would attempt to use, to make myself grow and evolve. I felt so stunted and frustrated. There was this difficult to explain feeling that was very physical, and I don't ordinarily FEEL things in my body during dreams. I can only describe it as a whole body sensation of frustration and mild pain. A repetitive tune was playing on loop.

At some point, I'm beginning to force limbs out of my watery blob form, as a team of people crowd around me with.....sea creature type objects? Shoving them into various parts of me that were struggling to form orifices. It was incredibly painful. My partial limb bits were watery and useless and I could feel this all over exasperation at struggling so hard to change forms, as what looked like giant crab shells filled with slimy oyster bits were painfully jammed into me.

That's the best I can do to put it into words, but it's not even close to explaining how utterly bizarre it was. It's worth noting that I was under extreme stress in my life at this point 😂

What does this mean?

2026-06-26T11:45:16+00:00

I’ve never been a frequent or even in depth dreamer. A large majority of the time I forget my dreams right as a I wake up. Something was different last night, it was by far one of the most emotionally visceral dreams I’ve ever experienced. I still have an uneasy feeling about it, and although I am relieved it’s not real, I still feel like I experienced it irl.

Dream Summary: I accidentally killed a stranger in a car accident. Rather than call 911, I attempted to hide the body on a farm. Things didn’t go well and I end up arrested, then serve 25 years in prison.

When I get released, the first thing I do is try to find my fiancé. I call her, text her, etc., to no avail. I then find her on Instagram, this is where the emotion comes in. In every single photo of us, I had been replaced by another man. In all of these photos he had a shit eating grin that it’s seared into my mind. He was taunting me. I keep scrolling and learn that they have kids. I can see their faces so vividly. A feeling that my future was taken from me sets in and I absolutely freak out. I can still feel the emotion it felt so real.

This dream jarred me so much I had to come here to share it and maybe get some guidance on what it could mean. My first thought is jealousy but we have such a strong relationship and there really is no jealousy or insecurity between us.

Multiple dreams in one night

2026-06-26T17:34:53+00:00

Snow in the summer
Home invasion
My front door removed from the hinges while my glass door was still intact

I’ve experienced dreams like these before, but they were all in a row last night. Is there an explanation for them?

I saw my ex in my dream

2026-06-26T17:14:02+00:00

My ex and I broke up 10 days ago. In the past few days, I have remembered him, and every time I reflect on him, I feel pain, and my heart tightens. He left because he was bored with me, he said that I had treated him coldly before, and many times that he no longer loved me. I really didn't know how to express my feelings before, and I wasn't good at speaking sweet words. Usually, I would provide him with dedicated advice on medication or health, and I would prepare many plans to have fun with him and also bring gifts...but what a pity, we broke up.

In my dream, I remember talking to him on the phone, not seeing his face very clearly. He only filmed the camera in his right eye. When I knew him, I had dreams a few times, but I didn’t see his face every time, but I felt that it was my ex. He told me he often dreamed about me and he dreamed much more clearly than I did, seeing his face and his actions in his dreams. I am Vietnamese, and there is a saying in my country that if you dream about someone three times, your destiny will be ruined. We will never see each other again, but my ex and I both play on the same team for the upcoming school year. I don't know if this rumor is true anymore. Do you know about this rumor? If you do, please verify its authenticity for me. Even then, I still have feelings for him, although I'm no longer naive, he's more mature. Sometimes I miss him so much, I want to go back.

I miss you, Deadllyyy!

A Man in my Dream

2026-06-26T17:13:49+00:00

Was years ago, but I still remember the dream so clearly. I actually wrote it on my notebook when I woke up.

So, sometimes, when I dream, and I suddenly wakes up, I can just sleep again and choose to continue the dream. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. One time, was still young, maybe I was only 18 or something. I had this dream where I am an adult. I was in a park and I'm waiting for someone, but I don't know who. But deep inside of me, I know that someone is important for me, and I am eagerly waiting for them. And then I heard someone called my name that made me turned - it was a man. A pretty man, a face with soft feature and masculine body, and curly brownish hair, green eyes looking at me softly, and lips that doesn't smile. I know he's a man from a foreign country. He was looking at me so passionately, and I was doing the same. And then the dream shifted. It showed myself where I was checking a file, with the man's face. He's an ex convict, 21 years old and a single parent of a a 3 years old boy.

Until now, at 25 years old, I can still remember his face. But still, I haven't met anyone with the same face. One thing that still in my mind - who are you?

Weird dreams

2026-06-26T16:56:18+00:00

I keep having these weird scary recurring dreams where there is a figure standing in the same corner of my room but the figure is different each time. The first time it was an angel/demon statue the ones like in doctor who it’s the statue where if you don’t look at them they’ll move. The statue would appear in the corner of my room and I look up an its standing above me and the faces will change into a distorted face. Then I’ll wake up panting and out of breath. The second one was just a static figure same moment same every and then the third time it was the big monster from the back rooms movie, the giant pirate looking guy (haven’t seen it sorry if it’s not a pirate). They always be in the corner then above me with the same face. It’s awful and I have no clue what it could mean

Your brain manufactures terrifying hallucinations during sleep paralysis — and it's the same 'shadow figure' across almost every culture on Earth

2026-06-26T16:38:20+00:00

When you're in REM sleep, your brain paralyzes your body (atonia) so you don't physically act out your dreams. Sometimes your mind wakes up before your body does — you're conscious, but completely frozen.

Here's the unsettling part: in that state, your brain's threat-detection system goes into overdrive with no real danger to process, so it invents one. That's why people across completely unrelated cultures — Japan, Egypt, Brazil, Newfoundland — independently describe the exact same thing: a heavy presence sitting on their chest, a shadow figure in the corner, or a feeling of being watched.

It's not the same demon. It's the same brain mechanism, just expressed through whatever your culture taught you to fear.

Has anyone else experienced this? Genuinely curious how similar everyone's version was.

Why is fear in my dreams often disproportionate to what is happening?

2026-06-26T16:26:38+00:00

I often have incredibly long nightmares, they are more stressful than actually scary. Last night it was running from a daemon of evil, and no doors or barriers would secure behind me, often fully falling off the hinges. I woke up from the dream calm, but the dream certainly wasn't pleasant.

Meanwhile one time I had a dream where I was locked in a dark classroom with the Blues Clues dog. He just like stared at me. I woke up shaking and crying.

sequestro

2026-06-26T16:19:35+00:00

basicamente, dentro do sonho era como se eu me lembrasse daquilo ali, como se não fosse a primeira vez que tivesse “vendo” aquela “cena”, algo assim. Eu não era eu, neste corpo, nem estava em meu país. A idade era parecida com a que tenho (20yo), mas não exatamente a mesma. Um pouco mais velha. Eu era asiática e nesse momento estava “sequestrada” por outros dois asiáticos. Um homem, pouco mais velho que eu e uma mulher, que parecia ter minha idade. Ela também estava sequestrada, mas parecia gostar realmente dele e já ter sofrido mais lavagem cerebral que eu, que mais fingia confiar e ansiava pela fuga. Mas, veja bem, eu queria confiar nele. Queria PODER confiar nele, melhor dizendo. Então, nesse sonho em específico, lembro de estar com os dois num banheiro, dentro de um prédio. Eu tratava o homem com certo carinho, para não deixá-lo bravo. Apesar disso, parecia alguém por quem eu realmente havia me interessado no passado. Então, do nada, enquanto estávamos dentro do banheiro, ele tentava me dar uma tesourada no pescoço. A outra menina gostou disso. Eu consegui me defender e ele simplesmente parou. Então, depois de um tempinho, eu perguntei para ele (com uma voz manhosa, um pouco triste, mas nada mais que isso) por qual motivo ele havia feito aquilo comigo, se estávamos bem. Ele ficou calado, me encarando. De alguma forma eu sabia que precisava me preocupar mais com ele do que com ela, porque ela não agiria fora das ordens desse homem, de qualquer modo. Não lembro exatamente o que houve depois que lhe perguntei aquilo e ele não me respondeu. Mas lembro que, um tempo depois, eu estava olhando para uma pequena janelinha de dentro do banheiro, que não era possível que passasse uma pessoa por dentro dela. Em algum ponto, o cara começou a dizer para eu ser discreta, pois havia o vizinho de baixo que ficava acordado até tarde. Então, num último momento de coragem, eu abri a janela e comecei a bater no vidro e a gritar a plenos pulmões. Então eles começaram a falar de novo, rindo um pouco de mim e me dizendo que era impossível eu ser ouvida, por determinadas razões. Não acreditei imediatamente e continuei, mas percebi que provavelmente nem devia haver vizinho nenhum. A mulher achou outra tesoura mais pontuda em algum lugar ali, e tentou me acertar também. Depois ele. Mas não conseguiram ainda. Eles não tentavam múltiplas vezes, apenas uma. Era como se não importasse tanto, meu medo fosse o bastante, até que um dia me esfaqueariam. Porém, mesmo diante dessas duas últimas tentativas, continuava a fingir que estava “tudo bem”, que eu só estava triste, mas continuava fraca e indefesa. Na minha mente, no entanto, isso fazia parte da minha única esperança de sobreviver. Nesse ponto também não me recordo tanto, mas conversamos mais um pouco (sobre o que havia ocorrido).

Agora, eu não me lembro mais se isso ocorreu no sonho ou se foi um pensamento dentro do sonho. O que me lembro é de ver a mulher primeiro, que parecia já morta ou muito ferida, no chão. Depois o cara, um tanto distante dela, mas também no chão, com cortes de faca ou tesoura, me olhando muito surpreso e aterrorizado com o próprio sangue. E essa é a ultima imagem que tive.

Dreaming More After Moving Bed Position?

2026-06-26T16:19:18+00:00

Howdy all, I recently felt compelled to change my entire bedroom layout. Moved my bed from a wall facing W-E to in front of my window facing N-S. At night, I sleep with thick blackout velvet curtains drawn in front of my window with the slatted blinds also shut. I'm also facing my closet mirror now, but sleep with the same but different color velvet curtains drawn in front of them so there is no mirror exposed. I also got rid of the extra platform I had under my already tall mattress, so I am closer to the floor now. My bedroom doorway used to "cut across" where my head rested at night, and now the door opens towards the foot of my bed to the opposite side of where I typically sleep.

All of a sudden I am having LONG, emotionally charged dreams!! I don't make a point of remembering most of them, as I tend to wake from them and go back to sleep for an additional hour every day (medication timing thing). But it's highly unusual for me to even be dreaming... for reference I'm in my mid thirties and I cannot recall a time in my life where I've had such vivid back to back to back dreams that weren't nightmares resulting in me needing to wake myself up out of them. Typically I don't dream at all and I never have.

Is this a bad thing? The dreams are not really nightmares, more like deep emotional exploration. I've woken up crying a couple times, but not from fear or anything, more from something very emotional happening (in one dream a recent ex's mom embraced me and said she missed me and hoped I was doing well, and she'd always like me). Just wondering if I messed up by moving my bed or if this is normal/ok. I will say I have never felt so rested after a night of sleep, but it took a week or so to feel like that. The dreams are just really throwing me!!

I dont even know what to think

2026-06-26T16:10:35+00:00

Last night I had a dream. It started i joined a frat, and then the classic "hazing" or "pledge duties" started. Out of no where I discovered the frat was actually being run by powerful higher ups, which chose what we had to do. Our "tasks" were to kidnap kids, put them in the big gumball machines, set them in public spaces or on the front porch of random people, and blow them up from inside the machine, to where the top clear ball part of the gumball machine was full of splatter.

I woke up and was really disturbed by this dream, I dont even know how my asleep brain made this up. I recently quit smoking weed, and I've had weird dreams, but this one seems excessive.

I didnt tell anyone and I dont plan on it because any sane person like myself knows this is sick. I dont even know what to think of myself anymore.

The Red Streak Sky

2026-06-26T10:11:33+00:00

This picture my memory of what the sky looked like.
I had this dream 2 hours ago and I still vividly remember it. Because this is short but impactful, there’s more detail than a normal long dream.

dream that I had on 6/26/26
“red streaken sky”
so I was walking around in the kitchen, there was a thing of body wash on the counter. Idk why but I stared at it and it stated smoking with a hiss sound. after a bit of this, I went outside in the backyard, nighttime (where mom was), and this is how the conversation went
“Mom, the smoker is smoking- no, sorry, I mean the Bodywash is smoking.”
mom: (Something along the lines of:) “Oh boy, I don’t want to have, like PTSD or something.”
mom (while walking inside): “What sound is it making?”
me: “A SSSSSSS sound.”
Mom then proceeded to throw away the bodywash. Me and my sister were admiring the night sky through the backyard. I vividly remember it as multiple red streaks with some green at the bottom, and one yellow dot in the middle, above the streaks. While looking outside, the sky lit up for 1 second. 2 seconds later, the sky lit up as a meteor came crashing down through our atmosphere. I saw it hit the ground and explode. I screamed and covered my ears and woke up. When I woke up, I immediately covered my ears. I woke up somewhere around 4.

Weird symbols on my arm

2026-06-26T12:16:50+00:00

Just had this nutty dream where I felt like my left arm was just gone, so naturally I check it out, I see this red cloud, the numbers 0-9 and like a bunch a symbols I just couldn’t read like some enchantment table shit. Right as I go “wtf” I begin to float up toward my ceiling and I floated out into this weird colourful hole and fell down for a few seconds before I got scared and opened my eyes. Any idea what any of the shit means cuz I woke up confused as hell a little nervous to go to bed tonight tbh.

I had a dream that seems to be about the end times

2026-06-25T23:43:23+00:00

I was on the roof top of a building and there were unidentified objects falling from the sky. Two predator looking beings appeared in front of me and told me "You still have time".

They kind of look like predators (in the alien vs predator movie), but their bodies seemed more human and they were wearing a cape. They gave off a positive yet intimidating frequency. I am sure they aren't evil. I actually felt so vulnerable and infinitesimal in front of them.

I'm just curious if anyone has had dreams about beings that looked similar.

I dreamed I was a surgeon working in an alien spaceship

2026-06-26T08:06:28+00:00

I had a coworker with me and we had lunch before going to our work station. We were cleaning our surgical instruments. Afterwards we were washing our hands outside of the operating room but we used some kind of soap from earth that apparently was banned for some reason.

So I drew this lazy diagram to make it easier to explain. We were washing our hands on the sink (W) and I left the soap (S) with the rest of my things on the other side.

The light was dim in the room. On the hallway, there were some individual bathrooms (B) for some reason. And our alien supervisor came out from one of them.

We got nervous and hoped he wouldn't decide to come this way. He was leaving when I think I made some noise and he probably figured we were there.

He came to us and told me I had forgotten my wristwatch and to be more careful with my things.

He was about to exit and get into the hallway when he looked to the left, turned back to the hallway, and then looked back to make sure of what he was seeing.

Then he looked at us. He didn't get mad, it was worse. He got closer slowly with a serious expression and sternly told us "you know that you are not allowed to use that. Never do this again" or something along the lines.

Then he just left. Didn't even confiscate the soap or anything, but sure felt like we were in trouble.

For being just a dream, sure made me feel real tense.

Had a dream my dentures broke.

2026-06-26T15:12:51+00:00

I seem to have moved on from having dreams about my teeth shattering into a million peices to having dreams about my dentures shattering into a million peices. I do not remember the start of the dream but I remember me biting on something hard then next thing you know my dentures shatter into large pieces then into small fragments. While I am still eating I am swallowing the dentures before foolishly realizing what i’ve done.

I end up rushing to a local dentist that I have never seen before but he was a chubby older white guy wearing glasses and a lab coat. I tell him my situation frantically and he just gives me a blank stare then nods. He goes to the back room to grab some “paperwork” while there I notice a pretty girl sitting in a dental chair directly behind me. I felt so emberassed. Then the dentist comes and holds a peice of paper 2 inches from my face saying the price would be over 10,000 dollars and that if I do not pay after getting my dentures fixed I would be jailed or sued.

At this part I frantically wake up and gradually realize It was indeed a dream. But I did forget to put my dentures into a bowl of water last night and that could have triggered something within my subconscious to have a dream like this. Maybe this was the reality check I needed to take care of my new teeth.

Can’t open eyes in dream

2026-06-26T15:10:11+00:00

So in the past there were a few instances where I’ve had a dream and it feels like my eyelids are the weight of a bus and when i am able to open them for just a second I see glances of the „dreamworld“. I want to open my eyes but they’re just so heavy and then even when I’m like almost awake I still can’t open them. Is this some sort of sleep paralysis? (Maybe this helps, but it’s often, when I’m taking a nap and wake up multiple times in a short period of time)

Does anyone else remember the locations from their dreams more than the dreams themselves?

2026-06-26T00:37:10+00:00

I usually forget what actually happened in my dreams, but the places stay with me. Throughout the day, random dream locations just pop into my head, and I can remember exactly what they looked like and what they felt like.

It's almost like I have a map of places that don't exist, just stored somewhere in my brain. Some of them even feel oddly familiar, even though I've obviously never been there.

It's kind of creepy.

Why do I keep having these dreams? Pt.2

2026-06-26T14:44:10+00:00

For context, I'm 16 F and have mental health issues (won't go into context due to personal reasons). I keep having recurring nightmares that are very vivid and truly terrifying. I also want to say that I do have dizzy/fainting spells, and I have not figured out the cause. I would also like to note that my ex and I are the same age. My cousin is 20 M, and my mom is 36 F. Today is June 26, 2026, at 9:43 am.

All I really remember is that I got dizzy and fell everyone saw and walked away i heard my ex say that i did that in front of my cousin on purpose i got mad then the dream shifts to my cousin being mad and i told him i wasnt mad at him and he said okay hope you're happy walked up this ramp and started cutting his thoat and repeated "are you happy?" "Does this make you happy?!" I kept screaming, "Oh my god, stop!" and for everyone to call 911, but my ex and mom were screaming; my ex's dad didn't care. Eventually, my mom called, and I saw my cousin with a cigarette in his mouth and the big gash in his throat and blood all over his chest and neck, then woke up.

Dreams like this get me very exhausted and make it hard to sleep, in fear of them happening again. I do take medication for my mental health and have been since I was 12. The last time I had a dream like this was June 4, 2026. I did make a post about my last dream and asked for help, and since then I have let my therapist know about these dreams, but I have to wait until my next psychiatrist appointment to see if there is anything that I can be put on to make these dreams stop (even if that means I don't dream entirely). Have you had dreams like this, and how do you deal with them? Did you find a way to make them stop?

The Entity & My Dream Realm

2026-06-26T03:33:07+00:00

Not sure if this is allowed here, but I just made a post about this shadow guy called ‘The Entity’. That has been haunting my dreams for 8 years straight.

I didn’t want to bombard my post with so much information, so I decided to make a separate post.

In my original post I discuss that I have/had powers that this entity took away from me.

The powers I have/had were:

- dream hopping (opening up portals to go to other dreams)
- flying
- gliding
- super strength
- telepathy
- telekinesis
- super speed
- super jump (jump really high)
- super climb (think if Spider-Man climbing on walls)
- shape shifting

This thing has been chasing me for 8 years straight.

I remember when I first began to lucid dream I couldn’t really control them, then I trained myself to become more and more lucid. I then taught myself how to open up portals to other dreams. This power had allowed me to travel to different dreams of my own plus to other people’s dreams. I remember I also learnt shapeshifting and either presented myself as a guy, or as a princess that loved traveling via portals.

The more I dreamt; the more abilities I would learn.

One day, I did this and ended up in this abandoned city. Everything was grey, and nobody was there except for this man who said his name was William. He said he was finally glad to meet me. He began to follow me from dream to dream and would talk to me and when I would notice I was about to wake up, he said he wouldn’t be able to wait to talk to me because he was so excited. The only times he didn’t follow me was when I entered a different persons dream.

One day, I had met up with him again, and told him that I knew I was dreaming and that none of this was technically real, and that this was the ‘dream realm’, a place that I could go to when I sleep and I could live out an entirely different life at will, and I expressed to him that I loved the fact that I could change my appearance, and live in places I’ve dreamt of living in, and visit people I’ve always dreamt of visiting. He got upset and said “you weren’t supposed to know.” I questioned him and said “know what?” And he turned into this shadow entity and left my dream.

I then began to notice that he didn’t show up in my dreams anymore, and one day, I dream hopped to this school, but everything looked too cheery and happy. I walked into the school and saw this shadowy figure. I knew it was William. I walked away and soon noticed he began to chase me. I tried dream hopping but he lunged at me and knocked me down, holding me to the ground. I tried screaming but he covered my mouth. He told me something that I can’t remember what he said, he then said that he was ‘The Entity’.

I woke up. Later that night I went to sleep and tried dream hopping, but realized my ability didn’t work. He had taken my ability away. I began to notice he showed up in every single dream, and even when I infiltrated other people’s dreams, he showed up too. All he does is chase me and take away my abilities.

He also took away my ability to not dream, so all I dream about is just nothing.. don’t know if that makes sense.

He also likes to trick me by shape shifting into people I know, and then reveals his true form at the last second.

I don’t know what he wants from me, or why he’s doing this.

It doesn’t bother me much, but it’s been a while since I’ve had a nice dream.

Sometimes I’ll have a nice dream and at the last second he’ll show up and the whole cat & mouse game begins.

I dreamed that I punch an entity in my dream, is possible to harness energy in dreams and are the entities conscious?

2026-06-26T13:56:17+00:00

I was having a nap in my room one day and I remembered becoming conscious in my dream and suddenly seeing a dark mangled entity that was trying to pin me down. I vividly remember thinking that I would die if I don't do anything. So I envisioned gathering energy in my fist and punching the entity in the face. Since then there hasn't been any dark entity lurking in my dreams.

For context, I often practice becoming lucid in my dreams. Aside from that a weird thing I do when I'm lucid is I kinda envision myself having powers then doing either combat practice or random target practices. I have mastered it to the point that when I do those combat practice I can visibly see damage in my dreamscape.

Now whenever I try to lucid dream I cannot help but feel suppressed. Suppressed in a way that when I make conscious effort to be lucid in my dreams the dream abruptly ends. But before this suppression happened, I dreamt of a man who entered my dream and was begging me to stop hurting the entities and destroying the surroundings. Now I'm just confused.

Weird dream existential dread thing

2026-06-26T13:49:23+00:00

Not really someone who dreams a lot but every year for the past 7 years I have this dream once or twice a year. I can't really describe the dream since I really only remember it like for 5 minutes after I wake up from it and have never really put anything to paper but yesterday I had it again. The only things I remember is me being there and I keep adding time to like a timer, and there's a huge Star wars esque spaceship and then I wake up with an insane feeling of dread, to the point where I have to sit myself up and do breathing exercises. But there's no first person perspective and Its like I'm looking through a video or something. I don't even like star wars.

During sleep paralysis, 57% of people report sensing a presence. Many describe the exact same figure. Has anyone here encountered the Hat Man?

2026-06-26T13:47:33+00:00

For those who practice lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis is a familiar state — that liminal space between sleep and waking where the brain is active but the body cannot move. But some experiences in that state go beyond the typical paralysis sensation. In 2011, Dr. Brian Sharpless analyzed data from over 35,000 participants. 7.6% of the general population had experienced sleep paralysis at least once. In 2019, his follow-up research found that 57.84% reported sensing a presence in the room during an episode. What's strange is the consistency of the description across people who have never met each other: Tall. Dark. Silent. Wide-brimmed hat. Standing near the bed or in the doorway. J. Allan Cheyne at the University of Waterloo identified this as the intruder experience — the brain generating a threatening presence during the transition between sleep and waking. The same figure appears under different names across cultures: → Old Hag in Newfoundland → Kanashibari in Japan → Karabasan in Turkey → Jinn in Islamic tradition For those experienced with lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis — have you encountered something like this? Were you able to take control of the experience or did it feel different from a normal lucid state?

Nighttime, full moon ritual in a house

2026-06-26T13:36:09+00:00

I went to this house in the desert under a bright full moon. It felt like I was somewhere in Mexico. There sat a small crowd of people. I sat down on a folding chair and then a crow comes and sits on my lap. A few seconds after, a black rooster then comes takes its place! A man next to me is in disbelief.

The crowd is busy creating masks, figurines, and hanging up objects to the ceiling. They stack a long line of masks against a window that is now open. In the center is a mean, angry looking turquoise mask with black hair.

Everyone is now wearing regalia and in a circle, I join in too, they are holding things like antlers and shells.

I step outside and immediately notice a strange, small figure sitting on the front steps, its head was flattened and was concealed by a white sheet over its body. I immediately knew it was a spirit, and made my way inside where I woke up.

Any help with interpreting this will be appreciated!

Giant glass of Fanta smashes and floods my entire city

2026-06-26T13:21:12+00:00

In my dream there was a parade in a park in my city with a massive glass of Fanta about the size of a multi story flat. There was fireworks and all sorts going on for it. Me and my dad and my cousin were driving back home and we live high up so we get a good view of the front of our city and a view of the glass as a result. As we entered our flat and climbed up to the top floor where our house i looked out the window of the flat hall (closey it gets called here) and I saw a fire work fly into the glass and shatter it. I felt utter fear at that moment and it was as if my vision had zoomed Into it as I saw every drop that was spilling out. Me my dad and cousin just stood there in shock. Got into the house and looked out the window and saw the Fanta rising up towards our house. It had flooded the entire city but hadn’t reached us because our house is situated on a hill pretty high above where the glass was. It kept rising and rising and the next thing I remember I was shoulder deep in it in my house and wading my head above it to keep breathing. I don’t remember anything else from it but yeh pretty weird

Re occurring dream where I jump really high and can’t control where I land.

2026-06-26T13:06:15+00:00

In these dreams I’ll be walking around normally when I start feeling floaty and like my steps take me off the ground. Whenever I jump I’ll go really high into the air and have no control of where I land. One dream I can vividly remember is I was for some reason at a four way roundabout and it was very busy with cars, in the middle of it there was trees and bushes, similar to one that’s near my house. I was jumping cars and dodging them with this floaty feeling and every time I moved I would launch myself really high into the air and shit myself trying not to fall in-front of any cars and didn’t somehow. Every time I fell back down it would hurt my knees and I would scrape off of the ground. It’s always random when this happens to me in a dream like I’ll be having quite a nice one and all of a sudden I’m being launched miles in the air. It’s quite a scary dream just because of the feeling of not being able to control where I land but I’ve had it so much before that I’m kind of used to it and i don’t think anything of it when I wake up. Wanted to share this because usually my dreams are very random but this is the first dream that I’ve had multiple times over and I’m curious if it means anything and to see if people think it’s interesting. If anyone actually sees this.

Reoccurring dreams about going to restaurants and not being allowed to eat anything?

2026-06-26T04:03:27+00:00

I've had this reoccurring dream for about 3ish years now where I'll go to a nice restaurant or go on vacation with my family but something always prevents me from eating. Sometimes it's me not being able to afford the food and sometimes it's people distracting me until it's too late to eat anything.

At first I thought they didn't mean anything but it's annoying that I've been having it for 3 years and I'll wake up with the same relief that it was a just dream. I really don't understand why my subconscious is fixating on it.

Does anyone else have similar dreams or know what they could represent at all?

SOS feeling super creeped out by my dream

2026-06-26T12:12:18+00:00

I’m feeling quite unsettled by the dream I just had.

In the dream my husband and I are staying with my estranged father. The vibe in the house is not great - quite tense (like it was in real life when I lived with him). At one point I’m getting dressed to go out and my dad sees me partially naked. I’m a younger version of myself when this happens. It’s awkward but nothing more. Then not too long after I hear him masturbating in the shower. My dream brain goes “that’s about me” but honestly I’m not sure. Then I wake up, feeling disgusting.

I’ve never had a dream like this before. HOWEVER, I will say for context a couple of things:

Recently my parents and I have had a falling out and it is not yet resolved. We’ve had a negative relationship for much of my adult life. I’ve struggled to feel seen or supported by them and they’ve gaslit me a lot throughout the years.
I recently had a dream about my mom hitting me in the face and leaving bruises other people could see (she’s never physically abused me) which I interpreted to mean that my brain was searching for ways to make obvious the verbal abuse so that I would no longer feel gaslit.
Yesterday I was watching a show where a young female character comes across her dad’s stash of Penthouse magazines, and it triggered a memory because I too found my dad’s stash when I was young.

I want to be clear that my dad, despite being a pompous jerk a lot of the time, is not a creep. So I am at a loss.

Thank you for taking the time!!!

Have you ever experienced literal euphoria in a dream?

2026-06-26T08:25:36+00:00

I recently had the best dream I’ve ever dreamt. It was perfect. I was on the road late at night, the air felt so good, the dark night looked beautiful. After a while of driving, I got teleported into the sky and began falling, and it oddly felt good. I landed in a random car with 2 others in it, their music was loud and we were going very fast. I don’t know how to describe, it just felt so good. The smell, the entire atmosphere. It was a sensory utopia.

I dreamed I was being baptized… or sacrifed. I’m not sure

2026-06-26T12:09:21+00:00

Well, fresh new dream. I dreamed that my cousin and I were about to be baptized by a catholic priest, even though I’ve been already baptized, and she is jewish, like wtf.

The ceremony took place outdoors, in what looked like an open area that reminded me of an existing park around here. We were each lying on something like medical stretchers or examination tables.

As part of the ritual, we each had to touch a tiny dish filled with salt and then feed a fake bird with it (??). We both completed that part of the ritual and made the sign of the cross.

My cousin finished first and walked away.
My family was there. Then it was my turn.

Things became weird when the priest began drawing a strange mark on my right thigh. It looked like either a hashtag (#) or perhaps an “X.”
As he was making the mark, people started gathering around us (older women and assistants to the priest) watching closely, almost as if something important was about to happen.

While marking my leg, the priest handed me this photograph which I remember very cleary, thanks to GPT I could remake it very similarly.

It showed a woman dressed entirely in black again st a black background. She wore a black hat and what looked like mourning clothes. The most disturbing detail was that her face was painted purple, and it was covered by a lace veil with “x” marked on her eyes, making it impossible to identify her face.

It looked brand new, almost like a freshly developed Polaroid with vivid colors.

My grandmother appeared to be arguing with the priest. She seemed familiar with the ritual but strongly disagreed with this particular part of it. either because of the woman in the photograph or because of what was about to happen to me.

Then one of the priest’s assistants approached carrying a piece of wire, like the twisted wire cage that holds the cork on a champagne bottle.
Everything suggested that the wire was supposed to be passed through or attached to my leg, exactly where the priest had made the mark.

Just made my way out. I kind of just appeared in my old house.

I didnt felt terrified by the the woman in the photograph. It just felt like she was someone who had already been condemned of something, and I had the sense that, depending on the outcome of my ritual, someone would eventually be handed a picture of me with my face painted purple lol

I woke up immediately after that, thank God (?)

Any thoughts?

PS: sorry about GPT writing, I used it to translate to english.

For the past 8 months I've been getting reoccurring locations in my dreams

2026-06-26T11:33:43+00:00

Okay so about 6 months ago I began to realise that all of my dreams every night have been taking place in one of like six locations. It's so weird, I can basically map out most of them by memory now.

There's one that's like a beach with a mountian overlooking it, one that's like a weird version of my childhood town, one that's a supermarket I go too that's connected to a carpark, a giant cyberpunk city, this giant jungle gym place and there's a small snowy Canadian town.

Every dream I've had over this year has taken place in one of these areas, the dreams are always different and random but the location stays the exact same and barely any details of the location change. I've recently started trying to make maps of them.

is there a pychological explanation for this? I actually can't remember the last time I had a dream that wasn't in one of these places

Trying to decipher a comforting visitation dream

2026-06-26T03:58:17+00:00

To start off, I lost my childhood cat today. And the grief is overwhelming, but that’s not why I’m here. I’m relating this experience to one I had about a year ago, when my sweet orange tabby passed away over the summer while I was out of the country. I only found out when I returned home, and my parents broke the painful news. I was devastated and desperately wished to see a sign that my baby was okay.

Well only a few nights after, I had a dream that my orange baby was there, in my very own bed that he used to sleep alongside me for so many years. It was a beautiful sunny morning, and he was butting his head against me as he so often did to wake me up. I held him close to me and it felt so very real, his warmth, his soft fur, his soft rhythmic breathing. It was so vividly real. I woke up for real not too long after, on a sunny morning, and the only difference was my cat was absent.

To me, there’s no coincidence, and that had to have been him checking on me and telling me he was safe and okay. With my other cat’s passing today, I pray that I receive a similar kind of visit.

I want to know if anyone has experienced something similar from a passed loved one, and what you believe this kind of experience means. I’m usually a pretty skeptical person with doubts about spiritual encounters, but this may have shifted my perspective. But I want to hear other people’s thoughts, opinions and interpretations both of my cat’s visit as well as your own.

My own laughter woke me up

Never record my dreams. Well, except this one time in 2024, apparently. Just found it in my notes app. Here it is. What does it mean!?

Baseball tryouts. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis are watching a tall guy pitch. Bill Murray shows up and says to the guys:

“You didn’t tell me the guy pitched like Randy Johnson!”

Dan Akroyd says: “That’s not all he does…says he’s a cook.”

“A cook!?” Bill Murry says shocked.

The others nod and shrug.

“Well he’s going to be throwing baseballs for the rest of his life. A cook…”

Bill Murray walks off shaking his head.

Always comes back to snakes…

2026-06-26T00:05:16+00:00

I believe that snakes have a big play in my spiritual dream messaging. I for years have had snakes be used as a way to send me a message in my dreams.

Yet there’s a certain niche of dreams of snakes I have that no one has been able to give me a confident definition on. It’s the type of snake dreams where it’s very short lived, bland and none eventful but seems to be trying to signal something at me.

This one i just had seems to be one of them.

DREAM:

I was doing parkour at what seems to be a skate park a bit after sunset, there are a few kids running a head of me and seeming to be rushing to get somewhere. I start following their lead, suddenly feeling i’m rushing late too.
As i’m running after them, i peak to my side and see a lizard shaped like a snake, I then change the direction in which my running is heading in to avoid the huge lizard and I cross paths (not coming in close range of , but running past it) of a white and black snake.
It had perfectly aligned stripes of black then white and so on.
The snake is just slithering very calmly on the raised skate path, it seems to notice my presence but was moving very slowly to turn into my direction. It had its tongue out as i was running past it. The distance between us was maybe a metre. I felt fear from the stigma of it being a snake however the snake didn’t really oppose threat to me.
I then woke up shortly after

I always seem to have these dreams of snakes where they are just existing and i’m passing by them, but the way my body physically reacts anytime i encounter in these dreams, the way i feel my actual real heart pounding and sort of “take note” to these snakes leads me to believe they have a symbolism i might be missing. Does anyone have any idea what this may mean?

Minecraft?

2026-06-26T10:38:19+00:00

Ok so I had a dream where I was in Minecraft and in a bc I think, where there was this mod that had a capsule with something black in it.

You would put it in a armour slot which would grant you flight, a mini gun and these arcs. The gun and arcs would come out of your arms.

I was fighting some one who I can't remember but we were in a Minecraft city with everyone from the content smp.

Bit weird but it felt cool.

Also when some one with the capsule equipped, there was a chance for another one to drop (or maybe the one that was equipped was dropped)

Oh and when two people would collide in flight, that would also damage each other.

That's about it, cya.

Crazy dream has me motivated

2026-06-26T06:41:42+00:00

Hello! I am new to this sub. As someone who has dreams every night, and has very strong dream memory recall, the posts here are very insightful and helpful to me.

I would like to share two dreams that I have had this week that have motivated me to believe in a better future for myself. A little background here, regarding the dreams is that I have been toying with the idea of pursuing a PhD for almost a year now. My dreams this week helped me gain unexpected clarity about my PhD idea.

Monday night, I had a dream where I visited The Netherlands as a tourist, and fought with the tour guide because she won't let me visit Erasmus University. I have only heard of this university but have never visited the university's website until after both the dreams to know more about the Uni. I remember spending my entire day walking around the streets of Amsterdam in my dream. It seems my dream self wanted to be in Amsterdam while also wanting to visit Erasmus University, located in Rotterdam.

Upon waking the next morning, I thought it was cool that I saw myself in country I've never been to, and thought that perhaps this is my mind foreshadowing, telling me about an experience I will have in the future. I have been busy with other priority tasks, so I chose not to engage with the memory of this dream.

Two days later, I had another dream. This time, I was walking towards Erasmus University. I have never seen that building in my waking life, until I looked it up. In my dream, I could see the main building around the corner. I was walking with someone, telling them how Erasmus university chose me as a PhD candidate because they liked my perspective on things, and because the committee liked how detail oriented I am. The person I was speaking with accussed me of cheating to get into the university, since I do not have any published research. To that, I replied (I remember my exact reply), "You don't need published research to get into Erasmus. You need to demonstrate how well you do research. These are two different things."

I woke up a little disoriented, because I remembered the dream so well that I felt like my body has actually experienced this. I was a little skeptical, but I googled if Erasmus needs published research to apply for a PhD and as I said in my dream, Erasmus doesn't need published research!

I was so overwhelmed by my dream, and the fact that I looked this up only after both my dreams, and somehow knew what Google would say before googling it was crazy to me.

I have had a vast number of dreams, from the spectrum of nightmares to pure bliss, to extremely silly dreams, but this one was a first.

Thanks to my dream, I'm gonna get myself to start working on my PhD idea before my dreams start telling me more. I'm secretly hoping that my dreams tell me more about my other creative ideas, potential ventures, etc.!

This is one of the few amazing dreams that I absolutely love 😭❤

I dreamt about a murder investigation that somehow turned into a sports competition

2026-06-26T10:24:37+00:00

This is genuinely a dream I just had exactly with no added AI context, but I had ChatGPT improve the writing a little.

So this guy is telling me a story.

At first I don’t even know where we are. Some city. Normal city, I guess. Except in this city everyone kind of has sniper rifles. Not everyone, but enough people that nobody is shocked by it.

So the guy is on the phone with his friend.

He asks him, “What’s the longest sniper shot anyone ever made?”

His friend says, “I don’t know, like 450 meters.”

And the guy says, “Okay.”

Then after a few seconds he asks, “Where are you?”

His friend says, “Why?”

He says, “Just tell me.”

The friend says, “I’m like 850 meters away.”

And the guy looks through the scope and says, “Oh. I can see you.”

The friend laughs.

Then the guy says, “Who’s standing next to you?”

His friend says, “Some woman. Why?”

And the guy says, “I’m going to try something.”

Now obviously this is a bad sentence. When someone with a sniper rifle says “I’m going to try something,” you should not continue the conversation.

But his friend just says, “Bro, no chance. The record is 450.”

And the guy says, “Yeah, but what if I’m lucky?”

His friend says, “Even if you hit, nobody will ever find you. You’re too far.”

Which is a crazy thing to say to your friend, by the way.

So the guy shoots.

And he hits.

From 850 meters.

Nobody can believe it. Especially him. He was not even doing it seriously. He was just being an idiot.

The police come. Big investigation. Very serious.

They ask, “Where could the shot have come from?”

Someone says, “Well, the longest shot ever is 450 meters.”

So they make the search area 500 meters.

Very professional.

They search everywhere. Roofs, windows, apartments, everything.

Nothing.

Because the guy is sitting 850 meters away, probably eating chips.

Then some scientist comes on TV and says, “Actually, 450 meters is not the limit of the human body. It is just the longest one we know about.”

And for some reason, instead of helping the police, this starts a sport.

A few years later, nobody is even talking about the murder anymore. Now everyone is talking about the Long Shot Championship.

It becomes huge.

Countries send teams.

There are uniforms.

There are coaches.

There is probably one guy crying during the national anthem.

And the funny thing is, nobody can even beat 450.

People are trying so hard. Expensive rifles. Special glasses. Wind calculations. Computers.

Still nothing.

Then our guy is watching this on TV and he starts thinking.

“Wait.”

Because he remembers.

He did 850.

And now he has this terrible thought.

“Maybe I’m not stupid. Maybe I’m talented.”

This is where everything goes wrong.

He joins the competition.

And everyone is like, “Who is this guy?”

He steps up.

Shoots.

Hits the target.

850 meters.

New world record.

The whole place goes insane.

People are screaming. The commentators are losing their minds. His country is celebrating. His friend is probably at home sweating.

And the guy is standing there like, “I knew it.”

Then the police also see it.

And one detective is watching the TV like, “Wait a minute.”

Because now the old case suddenly makes sense.

They were looking inside 500 meters.

They should have been looking at this idiot.

So they arrest him.

And that’s when the story comes back to me.

Now I realize he is not just telling me a random story.

He is telling me his story.

And he is telling it from prison.

He says, “So yeah. I’m here forever now.”

Then he smiles a little.

“But I was right.”

I ask, “About what?”

He says, “I am the best sniper in the world.”

Does anyone else have reccurring dreams about people they despise

2026-06-26T06:35:57+00:00

This year I had a falling out with around 4 people, and every other week or so it seems that I have a dream about talking to one of them and them telling me they forgive me and then their face becomes distorted. I wake up sometimes thinking the bit where they forgave me is real and it just makes me feel conflicted. I dont want to speak to any of those people again and truly dont think they're good people, but I just keep having these dreams. Anyone else?

Lucid dreaming and seeing my dead dog

2026-06-26T10:15:48+00:00

hi! first time posting here! i can’t believe it took me so long to find this subreddit lol i have some of the most insane dreams. First of all, I have been diagnosed with narcolepsy so my REM sleep cycle is out of whack and i can start dreaming before i even go to sleep (sounds very weird i know). I’m ALWAYS conscious when dreaming, and mostly have reoccurring nightmares that are EXTREMELY vivid due to my condition but honestly it feels so much more than that. everything feels so real.

which brings me to my point about my passed dog, i call for him in my dreams sometimes and i am fully convinced he’s visiting me in the dream realm or smth🥹i picked him up and gave him a hug in my dreams last night and felt his fur on my hands and face, it was so real. idk if this is a bit of a shit post tbh, but i wanted to know if anyone else had experienced such vivid dreams where when you wake up you can still feel what happened? or remember it like it wasn’t a dream? and if anyone elses passed pets or relatives like to visit them when dreaming?? even if not it’s helping me cope with his death so win win ig🤣

Do you tell people your nightmares immediately?

Growing up, my mom always told me that if you have a nightmare, you shouldn’t tell anyone about it for at least 24 hours because it could come true in some form or fashion. I’ve followed this for the most part, but every once in a while I just have to spill my guts. I honestly can’t remember if any of them have come true, but I don’t think they have. Did anyone else hear similar things growing up? If so, do you still follow the rule, or did you decide to see what happens?
