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.

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.

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!

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?

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...

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 was in a loving relationship with Kermit the frog

2026-06-25T14:53:03+00:00

Things to note: there is implied sexual content but nothing is stated explicitly. (It fades to black) let me know if this needs an NSFW filter. Also, this dream is from around 3-4 years ago so I many things are blurry, but I remember the main "plot" of it.

It starts with me at my outdoor wedding, I'm walking down the aisle, Kermit is at the end with a wedding dress. Holding a bouquet of flowers.

Once I reach the end and greet him, the perspective then shifts, I see myself standing next Kermit. As we are right about to kiss (or hug? I can't remember), it all fades to black.

Everything fades back in, and I'm in my body again. I think I was washing dishes? Or doing some sort of chore, when I hear Kermit from the other room "Oh Kermy!~"

As I walk into our bedroom, I see Kermit laying in the bed like shown in the photo, in one of those sexy maid outfits.

If I remember correctly, the perspective then switched to an aerial view of the room and I see myself staring at Kermit from the doorway. Once again, the scene fades to black and I wake up.

Anyway that was the time my mind made up weird self insert fanfic of me and Kermit the frog.

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.

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 feel so vulnerable and infinitesimal in front of them.

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

Had the same dream for 2 weeks straight, drew it.

2026-06-25T11:32:55+00:00

Haven't gotten much sleep lately, everytime I sleep this is what I see, it's just darkness and then this appears, I can't look away and everytime I wake up I throw myself out of bed, the first day I dreamt about it I felt a sharp pain in my left arm as I had been clawn in the dream, I looked back and there it was, eyes moving looking all over me, when I woke up I had the the claw mark on my left arm, it's been driving me insane, someone that knows anything about dreams that can tell me about why this is recurring.

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?

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.

Cell phone in dreams

2026-06-25T22:56:50+00:00

So I didn't get my first cell phone till I was 23 irl. I noticed there's never cell phones in dreams that's what I thought forever. Now they are slowly showing up. As if my brain is trying to keep me none lucid. So I can't use a lack of cell phones as a lucid trigger. But the digital clock gives it away. Time being 8:7 instead of 8:07 or 9:65 Wich would be 10:05 irl. Ridiculous times in short even c:36

Just wanted to share something

Dreams happening in reality?

2026-06-26T04:52:31+00:00

For the past couple of weeks, things I have seen in dreams months ago keep coming true. Things such as specific scenes in movies or interviews. I watch a show (my family didn't know this show existed months ago), and I recognise a scene and can describe what the next few scenes will be to my family before they come up. This applies to conversations and general events as well. It makes me worried. I had dreams months ago that may apply to stuff happening in my personal life currently. Stuff that may potentially happen, but I don't want it to. These are dreams related to marriage and death. I wonder if the fact these events coming true back to back mean something at all?

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.

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?

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

Dream of having a baby boy

2026-06-25T21:34:13+00:00

That was a strange dream that I had for years but never got out of my head

So, I had a dream of having a baby boy around 2022. I was 22f, single and didn’t have any boyfriend back then. It was so real and I can’t forget that feeling after all these years. I just watched a video about dream of having a baby and it reminded me so much about my little boy. I can’t forget it at all. It might be just a dream but my heart would be so longing to say that it’s just a dream. That would be the most memorable dream I ever had in my life. I just miss my baby boy so much. I still remember his smile, his giggles, his touch, the way I held him with lots of joy and happiness. Oh how I wish I could explain my feeling. That dream was like quite wild. That child was like the result of cruel and forced action (y’all know what I mean) but I wasn’t really mind of that person in the dream and thought to tell him about the baby since he has the right to know of his son (Like whattt????) Yeah! That’s the crazy part but I was happy of my son’s arrival and was happy to have him in my life. He’s like months old and his giggling and smiling face never left me. I still miss that to this day! When I woke up, I was so heartbroken and the pain of losing my son who never existed was too much. I pray that God will give him one day. I’m currently 26f and have a boyfriend who’s such a gentleman and sweet. We’re currently in LDRS but promised to marry in 2 years time. Hopefully, my baby boy will come to us when we’re ready. I just wanted to let this out of my chest here since I miss him again. I hope you don’t mind. Hope you have a blessed day!

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?

2026-06-26T02:43:14+00:00

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?

Possession dreams

2026-06-26T06:26:19+00:00

It's a recurring theme I've been seeing in my dreams occasionally. Something will take control of my body, sometimes an evil spirit, sometimes something infectious like a zombie virus. What could it mean? And why do I often enjoy when it happens? My only guess is it might be a submissive/masochistic thing, but even that feels like a bit of a stretch, it's such a strange feeling.

Had a dream about a GIANT wolf spider named Maria

2026-06-25T12:10:21+00:00

Maria lived in my house and crawled out of the back of my closet one day and introduced herself. She was literally the size of a pug and she acted basically like a dog too. She did tricks and I gave her treats. One day she announced she wanted to have babies and if you know anything about wolf spiders, they carry their babies on their backs. So I told her she could absolutely not have babies in the house, she had to go outside to have her babies and they couldn't come back inside with her until they were grown. She became an outside spider and played with the neighbor's literal pugs all day long. The neighbor thought she was my actual dog and complimented the fact she never barked.

Vision is super blurred as if my prescription was -8, with an uncomfortable physical feeling.

2026-06-26T09:56:04+00:00

Hi guys,

I wanted to post about this to see whether anyone experiences the same thing.

This has started happening from time to time and it started about a year ago.

Almost exclusively its the last thing before I wake up. No matter what dream it is, when it happens I always go to sleep in my dream, then wakeup, and I cant see- its not like im completely unable to see and things are dark, its that everything is blurred. It is extremely disorientating feels awful, because I also *feel it* physically- its like that super groggy, tired, almost heavy feeling and inability to see things. Sometimes I start to realise it is a dream and then I wake up.

When I wake up from it I feel a little bit like those physical effects of the dream, just not to the same extent. A bit groggy and tired, sure.

It is super uncomfortable and I hate when it happens. Ive always had really vivid dreams, but *this* has only started in the last year, and I hate it.

Is it that my brain thinks im waking up, but im actually in a dream still? It is a very strange experience.

In case it is relevant, I've had lucid dreams before.

Has anyone experienced a similar thing?

I visited Agartha in my dream

2026-06-26T06:07:10+00:00

So I literally just found out about agartha on TikTok and went into a rabbit hole. Then I saw some pictures (ai generated ofc) and some descriptions of it and it reminded me of a dream I had many years ago about running outside and seeing an entrance to the underground. I went and I appeared in a complete different world. It appeared to be a forest-y cave. It was so beautiful but at the same time felt eerie and almost dark like there was something watching me. It was a dream I never forgot and always wondered where that place really was. What could this mean? I believe it was spiritual

Reality turned into a dream? Dream turned into reality?

2026-06-26T09:31:54+00:00

Ever heard the phrase "Don't go to the bathroom in a dream"?

I had the same experience, but with my dog. It went on like a normal dream and weirdly enough my dog was in it. We went though a drive thru, and another dog was barking outside.. That's when I suddenly woke up and realized that it was my dog barking. Anyways, that was such an interesting dream. It's kind of like that one AOT episode where Armin was trying to wake up Eren.

The Parking Lot

2026-06-26T05:07:50+00:00

So I almost never remember my dreams but this one stuck with me and I’ve been thinking about it all day.

It started with me just opening my eyes and my phone was already in my hand with Uber open. Like no buildup, it was just already happening. I hit home the location was already saved ride gets confirmed and the driver arrives.
Now here’s a small detail that felt weirdly specific, The driver had no face and I was sitting in the front seat, not the back like a normal passenger. The seat was really uncomfortable so the driver actually helped me angle it properly. Then he asks me to put on Google Maps because he didn’t know the way and his car had no CarPlay or Android Auto. I most happily did it, like it felt completely normal that I was now navigating.
Few minutes in, Maps leads us to this road that’s completely sealed off. Like a wall. Not under construction, not a detour, just shut and sealed. The weird thing is I had used that exact road before to get home, but this time it was just gone. So we divert and end up inside this massive parking lot that was right on the main road. There was no way around it so we just went in.
And then we couldn’t find a way out. We kept going in circles. We asked random people standing here and there inside the lot and even they had no idea. Eventually the driver tells me to wait while he goes ahead to find an exit.
I waited a really long time. He didn’t call. He didn’t even end the trip on the app it was still running the whole time. Then finally when my phone rang and it was him calling back I woke up.
Never got the answer. What does this mean? Especially the sealed road I’d used before and the driver leaving me waiting those two details are messing with my head. Anyone had something similar?

Recurring dream about someone who is no longer in my life?

2026-06-26T08:49:03+00:00

Every night recently I have been having dreams with the same plot over and over. It goes somewhat like this. I meet this person by chance somewhere, they want nothing to do with me, find me annoying, and want me to go away, but then I’m persistent and by being around them more often they realize (or remember, kind of) that they actually like being around me and we become best friends. The dream I just woke up from happened to be us imaginary playing Midevil type games. Past nights it was things like shopping, sneaking out. They don’t take place in the past when I knew him, though, it’s like us now, when we don’t know each other, reuniting later.

For context I’m sixteen and I was friends with this guy in middle school, which was a long time ago, and we were very, very close. We had an abrupt ending to our relationship but there wasn’t any closure really and it wasn’t on bad terms. In my Freshman year I would often text him and he would not respond. I am suffering with extreme anxiety currently, near agoraphobia, and am currently learning online. But yeah. Does anyone know what this might mean? I’m superstitious and honestly kind of crazy so in my mind it had a translation to the real world, and I’m hoping it’s something like getting a friend.

Arcades are in my dreams constantly. What does it mean?

2026-06-26T01:41:41+00:00

It’s not the same dream, but many many many times I’ve had dreams of being in an arcade, playing machines, sometimes winning big and sometimes being disappointed. These dreams don’t really have anything else in common other than being in an arcade. Sometimes it’s the same arcade but more often it’s different. It’s even been an abandoned arcade a couple times with vintage and outdated machines. I’d pass it off as a coincidence but I’ve had so many of these dreams it’s genuinely hard to ignore. I’m curious if they mean something I’m missing.

Why do i keep dreaming about cheating on my boyfriend

2026-06-26T07:26:40+00:00

I literally have never felt any desire to cheat on him, i genuinely havent even felt attracted to any other man during this relationship. Im a bisexual girl, and i do still feel attracted to girls all the time. I still dont feel any sort of desire to cheat on him even with a girl. So the worst part is that i keep dreaming of cheating on him with other men, and thats the part thats so confusing to me. In my dream i feel happy but i suddenly remember i have a boyfriend and i still dont want to leave the situation. Its just so far from reality that its like im a different person. What could this mean?

Same people, different scene every night

2026-06-25T23:40:11+00:00

Almost every night I will dream about my ex-girlfriend, an ex-housemate and dead pets.

My ex and I broke up ten years ago. I don't know why all I dream about is her, her family and her new partner.

I'm always living near her, in a ramshackle house that reminds me of the grossest share house I ever lived in. One of the housemates from that house is always there, working on renovations.

My ex gf and her family look at me from their property with pity and disgust. They make me feel hopeless because my life is in disarray and my ex has a wife and kid now.

I used to have a pet rat and sometimes he is running around. My late pet dog is ALWAYS there. He's either happy as larry, missing or declining in health/neglected.

The setting is always somewhere cold, green and forested. My ex's family lived in the forest so that's probably why. But I also saw something traumatic in a forest A friend killed himself and I saw the body so they freak me out.

Why can't I let go of my past?

I can switch dimensions / universes in my dreams

2026-06-26T01:13:40+00:00

Basically most dreams I have I can control the time and can just dip if I want to. Basically I’ll trace or draw a circle or box big enough for me to fit through, and then as if it was cut out for me, I push that shape inwards and it creates a sort of doorway/portal that I can go through. For the time part, I usually have this point on my left hand that in the dreams I can press to reverse time. So if something doesn’t go right or it’s not fun enough and I want to try a different action at that point in the dreams, I can reverse and try again.

Woke up from a vivid dream, and saw a computer screen when falling back asleep.

2026-06-26T06:51:07+00:00

I had a dream where i went to a secret lab and raided the facility, freed the animals, and destroyed it. Then i woke up. I immediately close my eye to go back to sleep. But I started to notice something. A screen, just barley visible, was in front of me. As if I was looking through someone else's eyes. There was an application window with a title of THNKMGMT(think management) on the screen. The window was black with babyblue and white letters. Then i can see a bullet level list. Whatever the user was doing i could see a new level added live. Each level was showing. "Management #" starting with 1. I saw up to level 8. Then on the screen was words, almost like a live chat. It was moving too fast to read.

I have a recurring story in my mind. There is a story with similar motifs in my involuntary thoughts and dreams.

2026-06-26T06:44:11+00:00

The man was watching a movie with his wife; they had put on a romantic comedy and were laughing and having a good time.

The man loved lingering in his wife's warmth.

But suddenly, his wife's expression changed, and she fell silent.

As the man was making jokes about the movie, he noticed she had become completely unresponsive and quiet. He immediately paused the film and asked, "What happened, my love? What's wrong?"

The woman had a blank look on her face; without saying a word, she got up and went to her room.

The man went right after her, but the door was already closed.

"Let me give her some time," he said to himself and sat back down, but his mind was on his wife. He wondered, "Did I say something wrong?"

Later, as evening approached, the man prepared a delicious roasted chicken and set the table. Then, he went over to his wife, who still hadn't left her room. He knocked on the door and said, "Dinner is ready, come on, let's eat together." The woman didn't answer.

He waited for a little while, and the door opened; the man could finally breathe.

At the table, as the man was serving the food, the woman was so cold and so unresponsive that he began to feel genuinely afraid. "What happened to you? I'm starting to get worried, are you okay?" he asked.

His wife still did not answer.

The man ate his meal without any appetite. Afterward, the woman went straight back to the room and closed the door.

This situation went on for exactly three days.

Finally, the man walked through the ajar bedroom door and sat next to his wife.

"I am so sorry, please forgive me. I truly didn't mean to hurt you; I would never want to break your heart," he said.

He had turned his head to the right, avoiding looking directly at the woman.

"I don't even know what I did, and because of this, I am so scared. What on earth is the reason you haven't spoken to me for three days? I am terrified, please forgive me. Don't leave me," he pleaded.

His voice was cracking.

The woman told the man, "Look at me."

The man didn't turn his face.

"Please, look at me, please," she said.

But there was no movement.

The woman calmly and gently cupped the man's jaw with her hands, and suddenly, she felt her hands getting wet. When she turned his face toward her, her husband's eyes were bloodshot, and tears were streaming down his cheeks. So much so that the tears had begun to pool in the woman's palms.

The woman immediately hugged the man so tightly. While embracing him, she touched his back with her other hand, as if she were soothing his invisible wounds.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you are the one who needs to forgive me. Please forgive me," the woman said, her own face now turning bright red as well.

Then, she began to kiss the tears flowing down the man's cheeks, kissing one side and then the other, while the man sobbed out loud like a child, completely surrendering himself to the tears.

He leaned into the crook of his wife's neck.

At last, his breathing relaxed, if only a little.

Most of the time, this feels more like a daydream forming in my mind rather than a dream. Why am I imagining this?

What does this story show about my psychology? I am curious about your interpretations. Thank you.

Two dreams; one of snoop dogg wanting to play a game with me, one of being inside said game before running from Henry Creel and trying to pull his hair out

2026-06-26T06:42:11+00:00

First dream started with me going inside my living room, finding snoop dogg sitting in the new couch with an Xbox controller on one of the ovular-trayed black trays. I didn’t see anything wrong with him sitting in my living room, just walked up and said, “Hey, I think your name is Marc…. Uhhh…” before realizing that I was remembering the name of one of my cousin’s friends. He waved his hand down before saying, “Don’t worry about it, just call me snoop dogg.”

He wanted to play a game with me, and I said that I only had one controller, even though I don’t. I wasn’t consciously lying in the dream though, I did genuinely believe that I only had one controller. Then he reached uo to the one on the try with his left hand and said, “Why don’t we just play one hand each then? Since you’re better with this stuff, I’ll be the one moving around, and you can be the one attacking.” And I didn’t see anything wrong with that. So we were sitting with the tray between us, my right hand on the controller as well as his left, but as soon as we had booted up labyrinth of the demon king (don’t know why that game has been appearing so much in my dreams recently.) I woke up after sitting on the main menu for a few seconds.

———

Woke up without writing anything down to notes, went back to sleep.

———

Next dream started with me inside the ‘labyrinth of the demon king’ game I was going to play in the previous, except I was embodied there while believing it was still a game. I had a selection of four abilities, green on the bottom and red on the right, blue on the left and yellow on the top. The green one was a teleport ability, and the red one was used to break walls. I was with a ‘sister’ who looked like the merchant from that game except person-sized. I also had a female voice.

We had begun in a cave, trying to find our way out because Henry Creel was chasing us. There were twelve green stones along the floor, and when I blinked on top of them a small hole just large enough for one person to crawl through opened up inside a recess on the cave wall. I let the ‘sister’ crawl through first, keeping watch behind us. After she went through, I followed.

We eventually crawled out into a large body of water. The sky was black, and Henry was guarding us from the ‘next area’. I tried to teleport up into the wooden platform with beams that went down into the water, and that was the first time I saw him. He looked like how he does post-transformation at this point. As soon as I blinked imto the platform, I blinked down into the water just as fast. Henry had teleported imto the water with me, floating in front of me with a slight smirk.

Still feeling fear, I began frantically blinking around the water faster than he could keep up, before darting down and around the wooden beams. He grew frustrated at that point, but it felt like he was playing with his food, or toying with me. Then I teleported onto the platform, the sister following behind me. We ran back through a cave system, eventually finding ourselves back in the same room with soapstone/shaped gems on the floor. This time there was a red one, second from the left along the bottom row.

I tried to crawl through the hole from earlier, but this time it was too small for me. The sister began calling out about how he was following us, and I crawled back out before using the red magic on the red stone. Hadn’t thought to do that until then. Upon doing so, a larger section of cave wall to my right after turning around and slid upward, and we both ran through.

We both eventually came to a room reminiscent of a pyramid interior, with two staircases in the wall; one upward as well as one downward. I used the red magic on the section of wall that looked to have a staircase going upward, and while my feet were varying me through the entire thing looked 2d. Like the sensation of running up the stairs in 3d space was taking place more in my mind than actual embodiment. It’s difficult to describe how it looked. When I looked down, I didn’t see my legs, but couldn’t still feel myself moving them. At this point, I felt so excited and invigorated that I was consciously thinking about how this was one of the best experiences of my life.

After running all the way up the stairs, we entered something like a mixture of movie theater/school cafeteria/bathroom. The lights were heavily dimmed with the same feeling as an empty movie theater, school cafeteria tables were lined up in rows, and the floor was made up of small ceramic squares constituting a grid. I consciously thought about how I felt like I was in the backrooms, paying attention to the lighting reflecting off the flooring and thinking, ‘This is the best game I’ve ever played’.

At the back of the room was a curtain-doorway imto something like a waiting room. I ran through, not staying in there long or looking too closely at the surroundings enough to remember them. I ran to my left, towards the other curtain door before peeking through. The lighting in the previous room had grown brighter, and Henry Creel pre-transformation was about to show something to two people sitting there. One was a man, and when I peeked out he had smirked at me.

I decided to run out and jump onto Henry after he had started up a projector, trying to tear his hair off because I thought it was a wig (?). I wasn’t able to in the slightest, and then I said something in frustration, and Henry said in response, “If I asked whether you were everyone you remember being up until this point, or the one attempting to pull out my hair right now, which would you choose?”

I woke up shortly after that, after having stopped trying to pull out his hair, feeling like the question also pertained to him in some way, and feeling apologetic. Woke up directly after apologizing for trying to pull out his hair.

———

The only context I have for Henry Creel is that I began playing him in DbD quite regularly after starting to play the game again, once Jason was announced. I’ve not played a single survivor match against him since doing so, only as him. I’ve never watched anything more than season one of stranger things.

Chewing Glass

2026-06-26T06:31:38+00:00

I've been having this dream for a while now, the dream itself changes but the aspect of me chewing Glass doesn't. I lowkey don't know what it means but in the dreams I'm eating or chewing on glass, like, I'm obsessed with it and can't stop. It doesn't hurt or bleed i feel no pain, but every time Im about to wake up I spit out the glass/scoop it out of my mouth.

I never swallow the glass, just chew and hold it in my throat until I can get rid of it. The only real thoughts I have about the glass is "it'll hurt if I swallow this" and " if I swallow this I'll die" so I don't swallow the entire dream/ make special care to not swallow any glass.

I think it's interesting and my friends also have no clue what this could mean but it doesn't hurt at all so I'm fine with it.

Does anyone else ever reference things in a dream that happened in past dreams?

2026-06-26T06:26:58+00:00

So I've always had very vivid, complex dreams and lucid dream periodically. I used to work at a hospital and about a year ago I had one particularly long, vivid dream about working a night shift there. It included spilling coffee on myself and sneaking in to use the laundry there to wash the dirt shirt before my shift ended. I just woke up from a dream that took place in a hospital. I was with another person who was working in the hospital and I was talking to them about my own experience working there. I told them the story about my long night shift story that included using the washing machine to wash my shirt.

What does i mean when we see dead people in dream?

2026-06-26T06:19:10+00:00

My grandfather died 7-8 years ago,tonight I saw him,before dying he lost his memory due to a brain tumor, when i saw him in a dream it was kind of creepy but I knew he would not cause me any harm.

I have had a recent exam,in that exam there is two part,and in real one part was extremely bad(it was viva),another part was great.I saw myself giving that Viva to my grandfather. And when I couldn’t say things he got really angry and scared me.But I deep down knew as he is my grandfather he wouldn’t give me fail.

I saw giving another viva,even I sae number so high in that viva that will cover the weaker one.

Note :yes I am kind of having anxiety attack from the whole exam experience overall. Passing this exam is so important to me.

But here my question is why did I see my grandfather here?I was not even that vlose to him,he was a good person but always cold and religious.

Had a really weird sleep paralysis episode. Lucid dream, phantom movement, and a creepy tactile assault. Is this normal?

2026-06-26T00:17:36+00:00

Hey guys, I just woke up from a super disturbing sleep paralysis episode and need some insight. It started with a lucid dream where I heard gunshots, which woke me up. I was lying on my stomach and wanted to move closer to the wall, so I started scooting over. The weird thing is, I felt like I could actually move and my body was shifting. I opened my eyes and saw my room exactly as it is, but suddenly my body just stiffened up, I slowly lost all control, and realized I was stuck.

While paralyzed, I started getting intense physical hallucinations. First, it felt like something was biting my hand and holding it. I forced myself to move the hand and it stopped. Then, something started sucking on my thigh, but I managed to move my leg to make it stop. The worst part was that I had one hand behind my back, and suddenly felt a heavy pressure there, like a literal dick trying to penetrate me from behind. I knew it wasn't real, so I stayed calm and wiggled my toes until I broke out of it.

My main question is, has anyone else actually "moved" right before the paralysis fully hit? I’m 100% sure I felt myself physically shifting toward the wall at first, but now I’m doubting if I actually moved or if my brain just faked the movement. Also, how do you even cope with the creepy sexual hallucinations? That last part was honestly so unsettling. Thanks for any replies.

Why have I been having very disturbing dreams?

2026-06-26T02:03:35+00:00

Possible TW!:

Recently, especially this month, I’ve been having disturbing dreams. These dreams feel very real to me and when I wake up I remember them vividly and they make me feel sick. At the beginning of June, I had a dream that a kid I’m my family got arrested and then got killed by the electric chair… then just last night I had a dream that my dad ended his life by swallowing something weird (I can’t remember what exactly) during both dreams, I dreamt that I was sobbing and could feel the pain of crying that much. I’ve been sick all day from the dream I had last night.

I don’t know what to do, I don’t have anyone to talk to and I’m scared people in my life will think I’m crazy for these dreams. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I make it stop? Why am I having them?

i keep having dreams where i kill people

2026-06-26T01:31:43+00:00

it’s always the same feeling in them. i’m never myself in them, always a male for some reason.

the one last night was in my grandmas house but everyone was a random person. i was a 16 year old boy and shot my grandma by accident in the neck, i begged her to come out of the room so the family wouldn’t see it as she hadn’t realised yet but she came over for a hug, then got scared and realised when i backed away, i ended up running down the street. i felt so much guilt.

the one before i was a monster hunter. i can’t remember much about this one.

the one before that i was a child serial killer in america. i had playing cards and i would leave a spade card each time i killed, i tried to convince my sister to do the same but she snitched and ofc i woke up just before the neighbours caught me.

these are just in the last few days, they’re horrible and i wake up feeling guilty as fuck. they’re incredibly vivid and usually end just before i get caught.

i’m really not sure what’s causing these as i have no real stresses at the minute and i can’t relate to any of the reasoning i’ve found on google, these are awful dreams and i really want them to stop

Shadow Person in my bedroom

2026-06-26T05:16:43+00:00

I just woke up from this odd dream where I was sleeping in my bedroom with the door locked and all the sudden I hear someone trying to open the door but failing to do so through the door handle so they unlocked the door somehow. I hear them walk in and just as quick as they walked in, they walked out. I got up from my bed (in the dream) and walked over to the door and opened it to see who was on the other side, I couldn’t see anyone until the shadow started walking back to the door from a hallway and grabbed the handle forcefully to close it. The whole time they’re pulling the door shut, I’m holding the door open and asking, “who is there?”. Once I saw the shadow outline of someone holding the door handle, I shut the door and locked it. I went back to the bed and laid down. I then woke up in real life.

I’ve had dreams before of an entity trying to scare me in the past at my mother’s house. This one didn’t feel like that particular entity in my recent dream. The layout of the bedroom in this dream was similar to the layout of the bedroom I had at my mother’s house. I’ve always said that her house is so negative and has a lot of bad vibes attached to it. I don’t even like to stay to visit. I’m never scared of shadow people or malignant spirits but the dreams I’ve had before, they try to frighten me.

What do you guys think this means? Has anyone ever had dreams with shadow people?

I had a dream with God / Jesus

2026-06-25T21:44:22+00:00

In 2024 I was finishing up college and had just broken up with a short-term girlfriend. I had a vivid dream in May of that year that I still think about:

God came to me and told me to bring a red rose to my mother to put into a wine glass. I knew this was God because his presence told me it was Him.

When I gave the rose to my mother, she put it into a wineglass while holding it up in her right hand (almost in a cheers like way).

I watched the red rose wither away and turn into something dark, almost like dirt. I watched the transition of the rose go from alive to dead to dirt. A process you’d witness with any flower over time but in a matter of seconds this happened. As the rose was transiting into dirt, or this dark color, my mom was screaming, “IT BURNS! IT BURNS!” In a way that made me feel like it was hurting her.

Afterwards, we had a feast with every member of my family. I specifically remember seeing my dad and mom but I had a feeling my extended family were the people there at that feast (over 20 people).

When I gave my mother the Rose, God was with me or by my side. We were on the second level and looking down at the feast going on the first floor.

Haven’t had a dream like that in a while. One thing I know for certain, it was God. It was God telling me to bring the red rose to my mother. I cannot remember if he directly gave it to me. In the dream, I could not turn to look to Him. I felt his presence in awe and knew immediately it was God.

I still think about this dream. What it could mean. What it was telling me. What maybe it warns me of. Everything felt fine. When I woke up immediately went to my friends, who believe in Christ, and my mentor who could not makeout the dream. I went to Reddit and nobody could say for certain why it meant.

I am a huge believer in dreams having “meanings.” This experience for me was huge at the time. Just thought I’d resurface this.

i was with the dallas cowboys cheerleaders at the mall and my mom was tina fey and also the coach of the team? I was friends with a few of the cheerleaders and was even staying with one

i was trying to talk to them but my teeth were stuck together with sticky date hardened caramel/candy and the more i pulled out the more stuck together they were. I tried to find a bathroom to remove it, but the only bathroom I could find was in an italian restaurant and i was too scared to go in.

Raven

2026-06-25T21:21:17+00:00

So I had a very strange dream and I’m hoping to make some type of sense of it. I passed out on the couch after work, this wasn’t at night it was middle of the day. In the dream, I was in my apartment and my mom called me to come outside, for some reason she was walking my dog. When I opened my door to go outside, there was a dead raven at my feet. In the dream I remember just staring at it, I didn’t leave my apartment or go through the door, I was just looking down at it. The feeling I kept coming back to was “this is important” but it wasn’t scary. Then I woke up.

For extra context, I’ve been going through a lot recently and seeking out a diagnosis for my mental health issues (mostly anxiety/depression related). Had some big life changes over the weekend, quit one of my three jobs. This past week I’ve actually felt a lot of relief in that and reconnected with the people in my life and shared what’s been going on with me. And now this dream lol. Not sure if anyone would have any ideas but I do find it very curious

Apple Watch BPM

2026-06-26T00:55:36+00:00

Does anyone else get notifications from their Apple Watch after they wake up that they had a high BPM episode? Almost every morning I wake up to a notification that my BPM hit between 120-140 for about ten minutes while I was sleeping. I have either an extremely distressing or violent dream that’s always unsettling and hard to shake for a bit once I wake up. It’s happened my whole life, I’ve never had a good dream, at best it’s neutral. I know these things aren’t super accurate but the pattern has happened often to raise an eyebrow. Just curious if this happens to anyone else?

Dream Log #1 — The Most Vivid Dream I’ve Ever Had

2026-06-26T00:49:10+00:00

I’ve never shared this publicly before because I was afraid people would think I was crazy.

But I’ve decided to start documenting these dreams because they’ve stayed with me for years.

I’m not trying to convince anyone that these were real experiences. My goal is simply to record them as accurately as I remember them and hopefully find people who have experienced something visually or emotionally similar.

This dream happened before my recurring spaceship dreams.

I remember falling asleep in the exact same position I was actually sleeping in.

Suddenly, I felt something pulling me upward.

Not floating…

I was being pulled incredibly fast, farther and farther away from Earth until I was surrounded by deep space.

When everything stopped, I found myself standing on a large floating rock.

There was no ground beneath me.

Only endless darkness filled with countless stars.

The atmosphere wasn’t scary.
It felt… ancient.

Heavy.

Silent.

Standing beside me was a tall hooded figure wearing a long robe.

I couldn’t see its face.

It never spoke.

It never threatened me.

It simply stood beside me.

The floating rock suddenly began moving forward at an unbelievable speed, almost as if it already knew where it was going.

Eventually we arrived at what looked like two enormous structures or portals.

One appeared dark.

The other appeared bright.

I don’t know whether they were actually portals, but that’s the closest way I can describe them.

As we approached, I suddenly felt my head being gently guided downward, almost like I was about to bow.

At that exact moment, a thought appeared inside me—not something spoken aloud, but something I knew with absolute certainty.

“It’s not my time yet. My mother and my younger sibling still need me.”

The moment that thought appeared, everything changed.
I was suddenly pulled backward at incredible speed.
Seconds later…

I was back inside my body.

I woke up immediately.

The strange thing is that I never felt like I had a nightmare.
The feeling stayed with me for a long time.

It felt heavy.

Not frightening.

Just… incredibly real.

Visual memories
- Deep black space
- Countless stars
- A floating rock/platform
- A silent hooded figure beside me
- Two gigantic dark and bright structures
- Extremely fast movement through space
- Complete silence
- A feeling that is difficult to describe but emotionally very heavy

Visual references
A few days later, I unexpectedly came across visuals that immediately reminded me of this dream.

One was the cosmic environment shown in The OA.
Another was this TikTok animation.

Neither of them is exactly what I saw, but both gave me an immediate feeling of familiarity.

The OA (Netflix) — especially the cosmic/star-filled scenes.

TikTok animation that reminded me of the dream:
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSCj23onC/

I’m curious…
Has anyone else experienced dreams involving:
Standing on a floating rock in deep space?
A silent hooded figure?
Two giant portals or structures?
Returning because you felt “it wasn’t your time”?
Seeing visuals later in movies, TV shows, or online that unexpectedly resembled what you saw in your dream?
I’m open to psychological, neurological, and spiritual interpretations.
I’m mostly looking to see if anyone has experienced something visually or emotionally similar.

If you’ve experienced anything even remotely similar, I’d genuinely love to hear about it. Even if your interpretation is completely different from mine.

Prophetic dreams and Deja vu

2026-06-26T04:34:20+00:00

Anyone ever have a dream or vision that is completely meaningless, or even just a few seconds long, and then a month or more later you seem to go through that exact few seconds again?

I'm asking because I'm writing this after it just happened- not that this is a first occurrence.

Like I said, the few seconds had no real meaning or consequences to them.

I'm watching a YouTuber do a let's play on Telltale's Batman, and it's on a specific scene where Batman is talking to Gordon about how someone hacked their radios, and Gordon tests it and the bad guy who's dead on the ground has his radio go off. Then Batman tells Gordon to turn it off.

The weird part is it's not just the scene I remember, but deliberately watching the Lets play. Keep in mind this is a brand new video, so it's not like I saw it before and don't remember.

Not only that, I remembered in my dream I paused it for some reason, and look at the next videos in my feed. Then, IRL, I paused it at the exact same time, and the Thumbnails of the videos in my dream were the EXACT SAME.

panic attack/harming myself in my dreams

2026-06-26T04:32:07+00:00

i started out having panic attacks in these related dreams where everyone (usually family) around me blamed me for something horrible (idk what) that happened and im telling them i did nothing, and im having a panic attack, crying, and cant breathe trying to explain myself, to scream, run away, anything to stop the feeling in my chest. recently they have gotten worse where im trying to hurt myself and then they start hurting me and im begging them to just kill me and stop the psychological torment.
im working on better eating habits, making myself more comfortable in my home before sleep, but its just so horrible waking up and still feeling that feeling from my dreams.
ive had vivid nightmares since i was 3 and woke my parents up with my screaming from them for years until i was 7, so im pretty good at recooping after them and escaping the dream while im in it, but these dreams have my heart hurting. idk why im putting this out here.. just wanted to let that out after reading a few other posts on here. happy dreaming fellow dreamers💭

Tuve un sueño bastante extraño

2026-06-25T20:42:51+00:00

( imagen para no ser ignorado )
Lo primero un plano nocturno, fuera de mi casa a lo lejos una luz en forma de cilindro que baja desde el cielo, es del color del cielo de la mañana pero muy fuerte, osea con muchisima luz pero en un tono celeste cielo. Luego de eso ese cilindro de luz se expandio haciendo todo brillante y volviendo el cielo totalmente azul como si fuera una mañana pero manteniendo un hambiente oscuro, como cuando hay un eclipse y el cielo se ve azul pero con sensación de oscuridad. Luego de eso comenzaron a suceder y aparecer varias cosas en el cielo, figuras raras y un gran sol con cara (exactamente el que se encuentra en el centro de la bandera de argentina) en un gran cuadro (como si fuera una carta de poker) pero a tamaño gigante. Luego de eso mientras todo eso sucede sucede una batalla o algo similar, es un demonio peleando contra un angel con piernas de caballo y pecho torso y cabeza humana, con brazos humanos también, en uno una espada blanca y en el otro un escudo blanco, el tambien era blanco pero como grus en la parte de caballo, el demonio no es algo fisico, es una entidad, una precencis que puedes creer percibir con la mirada pero que a la vez no ves mas que una oscuridad y la pelea no es donde hay gompes si no como que el angel hiciera movimientos bruscos en donde se siente esa precencia, luego una gran bestia que me mira fijamente y abre su mandíbula, es negra y la cabeza es bastante parecida a una forma deforme de shin godzilla. Luego de eso vuelve la oscuridad por unos momentos, en el sueño me voy a la cama para luego despertarme de nuevo en el sueño y salir, se repite el culindro de luz para luego abrirse en el mismo estilo de cielo azul con oscuridad pero esta ves baja Dios, almenos en el sueño no tenia duda, no lo pense, solo lo sabia, era un joben con ropa floja y varias parcas de compes en las manos y cabeza que hablo conmigo aunque no entendi nada, luego hablo con mi mama y en ese momento acabo el sueño, o solo eso recuerdo ya que paso hace unos dias, no queria decirlo porque pense que era un sueño normal pero podría significar muchas cosas mas o no, simplemente se que no es algo normal.

The terrible dream I had last night.

2026-06-26T03:51:21+00:00

Last night, I had a dream that terrified me-though it featured neither a ghost nor a deranged killer. The dream unfolded like this: I wake up to find myself as an elderly man, around 60 or 65 years old, physically frail. Looking around, I see my aging mother-whom I love dearly-on the verge of death; my father has already passed away. As time goes by, I receive news, one by one, of the deaths of all my close relatives, such as my siblings. The world has moved far ahead, and people view me just as they view the elderly today-as tedious or out of touch. I try to find my place in that world but fail, and in the end, I simply wait for death, just as the elderly do in real life in today's world

And than i realised thear are no place for old man

Than

I woke up

The Cardinal and the Crow

2026-06-25T21:50:00+00:00

Usually when I dream, it’s always these long meandering journeys with a fair amount of humor to them most of the time (except when I dream about tornadoes — those are scary). My dreams rarely appear to have any deeper meaning or symbolism. But last night I had a short dream where I stepped out of my house and looked up and noticed a crow fighting a cardinal. The two of them appeared to be suspended in air, not even “flying”, and they hung up there in conflict for a minute before the crow bit the cardinal in half. The top half of the cardinal landed at my feet and was screeching and screaming with its breast open and ribs exposed. I stared at it for a moment processing what I just saw before waking up.

What could this possibly mean?

I live in Indiana which our state bird is the cardinal and I live in a more rural area with plenty of cardinals around especially when I load up my feeders. Crows are notoriously an issue in the city where I work to the point that the city has a “crow committee” that is in charge of dispersing the population of crows. Beyond that the two birds don’t hold much weight in my life and to be honest I can’t think of any other time I dreamt of a bird, especially that close up.

Any ideas?

Anyone else keep having health anxiety dreams lately?

2026-06-26T03:32:48+00:00

I had to be hospitalized last month and been dealing with health issues since March. Lately I’ve been having so many health anxiety dreams that I end up waking up exhausted. I keep having dreams where I’m hospitalized again, oversleeping and being late to important appointments and not being let in. Just last night I even dreamt that I went to my doctor’s appointment and the health provider tried to kill me.

Anyone else getting dreams like this lately as well?

Recurring dream, nightmare, gore warning.

2026-06-26T03:04:54+00:00

Lately i’ve been having a recurring dream about eating ice cream — or some kind of dessert, but it was actually like decomposing guts and stuff. Like, grey gook, blood, mess. Honestly, I haven’t been able to sleep recently because my dreams have been brutal, and dark recently and that is one of the most recurring ones.

Last night I dreamt that me and a few other people that i’ve never seen before conducted a satanic ritual on a dead body, and slowly died one by one. It was just all around weird and fucking disturbing, because then my dad woke me up — and i had another dream where it started off as a normal, happy dream where I was at a sort of Chuck E. Cheese knock-off, having fun, talking to people playing games — then one of the mascots were brutally killed.

I don’t know what’s going on, and honestly? I’ve been having trouble sleeping. Does anyone have an idea what’s going on?

I had a weird dream and I'm confused

2026-06-26T03:04:25+00:00

I had a weird short dream today that turned into a nightmare.

I accidentally fell asleep for around 30 - 40 minutes. Then the dream started with me in an unknown place with a random woman I didn't know. She was sitting on a bed/sofa with white and brownish walls, just staring at me and smiling. I wasn't scared, just confused.

Then I suddenly ended up in an apartment that looked like where I used to live. The front door was wide open. I was far away from it, but I felt like someone was there, so I walked toward it. I felt like I had somehow left the door open even though it wasn't me. When I got there, I saw someone outside, but I couldn't see their face. When I tried to close the door, everything around me started becoming darker. The colors changed into deeper, stranger shades, and the whole place felt more eerie and unsettling.

At the end, I couldn't move. I tried to get up but nothing worked. The more I tried, the more I started to panic. Then suddenly I woke up and immediately got up. This was the first time I've experienced something like this.

The funny thing is, I'm actually glad I woke up because I had left something charging next to me.

Has anyone else had a dream like this?

Gross nightmare about sharks

2026-06-26T02:59:23+00:00

In the dream, it was as if I was watching a video, rather than actually being at the scene. It was a man in some kind of basement, where there was a cut out in the floor, full of water and these hideous looking shark like creatures. There were too many sharks and they were too big for the small space of water. The man was commanding them to do tricks and stuff, throwing them meat. The guys filming seemed thoroughly entertained.

The man slipped off the small platform he was on, a truly terrified look on his face, and the sharks attacked him. It was weird because he had made them do tricks, as if they were his pets and he had a relationship with them, but they were really just waiting to devour him.

Once he had been eaten, the camera turned to the people filming and they were all laughing and it became apparent to me that this is something they do regularly- recruit people into their shark squad, help them learn to deal with the sharks, manipulate them, look after them, all just to have the sharks eat them so they can make videos of it.

At the end, a man jumps into the water, but the sharks don’t go near him. He essentially plays around with the previous man’s remains, and comes up close to the camera, pulling his mouth into a smile, revealing that he’s holding the man’s eyeball in his mouth. The crew sarcastically thank the man for ‘volunteering’ to be the one to die, though he clearly thought he was just a part of the crew.

What disturbed me the most was the cruelty of the people. I woke up disturbed and almost guilty, as if I had killed this man by dreaming him up and putting him in that scenario. Guilty from watching those people be so hideously evil, and not being able to do anything. Yuck.

The entity.

2026-06-26T02:29:29+00:00

Long story short, I have frequent nightmares, and in every nightmare, I dream of this shadow figure that I have called ‘The Entity’.

Or well.. he made it known that that is what his name was. And I know he’s a guy because he’s told me. He can shapeshift into people and has crazy strength and other abilities.

It will chase you from dream to dream, it’ll take away your powers, it’ll reset your progress within a dream, it’ll make you fall or your teeth fall out. It’ll harm you.

I recently had a dream where I had flight powers and telekinesis. I’ve been slowly regaining my abilities I once had mastered but they were reset due to this entity.

In this dream, the entity showed up. I used my flight to try and fly away, but he caught up to me, and took away my flight powers.

I remember it chased me everywhere, no matter how much I used my telekinesis to move things in the way to slow him down.

Eventually, I remember I ended up in a grassy field and hopped some random fence into the field, the entity unfortunately caught up with me and tripped me.

I remember lying on my stomach on the floor, and told myself while crying “I’m going to die.” It then spared me and left me alone once he heard that. I then woke up. It also spared my telekinesis.

Many people before have suggested that this entity maybe is some subconscious thing, or something that I’m ashamed about or an issue I’m running away from that has manifested in my dreams..

At first he was just.. somebody who would show up in my dreams as different people, and then he became a shadow man who would just linger or follow me, then it turned into him straight up chasing me and stealing my powers. He can also make me not dream of anything.

There’s also been a few times where he’s actually killed me before in my dream, or harm me.

Not sure if this matters but I’ve been officially lucid dreaming for about 8 years now, and ever since I begun to lucid dream, this thing has been lingering in my nightmares.

I’m open for discussion if anybody is interested.

Asked how dreams work to a person in my dream. Has anyone had a similar experience?

2026-06-26T02:21:16+00:00

I have told so many people about this dream, and I always kind of get a little scared they think I'm crazy lol. It was around two years ago, but I still remember it so vividly. I was in a house with other people, and all I knew is that we were supposed to hide. It was like a game of hide and seek. I hid in a closet. I don't remember who told us this, but the dream just kind of started with me knowing someone had told me to. She then found me (the owner of the house). I guess I had been told that when you are found, the lady would kill you. So when she found me, I started begging for my life, "please don't kill me, they told me to hide in here I didn't know what else to do." She spared me. Then it was kind of like a montage of us becoming friends, just us laughing, then going on a walk, etc (I can't remember that well). Then all the sudden, I realized I was in a dream, and I got really sad, because I knew when the dream ended I wouldn't see her again. I basically said something like "Aww I'm so sad I don't want to never see you again, I just realized that this is a dream". She then said something that I don't remember, and then I asked her a question, "how do dreams work?". She told me that there is basically a world of dreams, and that the dream workers are assigned to people's dreams to help teach them lessons. I don't think I was scared in the dream, but when I woke up I felt really eerie (maybe just because I've never really had a lucid dream before).

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you ❤️

Have you ever dreamt you are in somebody else's body?

2026-06-25T22:34:09+00:00

This is something that has happened to me in different stages of my life. Its not exactly dreaming you are someone else, its weirder cause in these kind of dreams, I am aware of who I am, and I am also aware i'm not on my body. For example, in a very strange dream, I was in the body of a schoolgirl in an arcade playing with another schoolgirl, I was aware I was not me, then in the same dream I was suddenly in the body of PAMELA ANDERSON lol, I was in the bath, naked, and my husband, her husband, was bathing me? It was weird. Then I was back again in the schoolgirl's body, but this time a Man with wings and a bird/human face suddenly landed there, he was angry and I realized he had the same face as the supposed husband of pamela anderson, AND he demanded to know who have gotten inside His wife's body. He killed some people and then turned to look at me and thats when I woke up. This Is the wildest one i've had about this. But there was another one where I was in the body of my father (two weeks after he died), and another one where I was in the body of a scientists studying a giant woman on a slab in a weird lab... Does anyone else have this kind of dreams?

Dreams when I was a child

Help me interpret this dream I had constantly for a while

2026-06-25T17:10:35+00:00

In 2022 I would always dream of my ex choking me and telling me he wished I was dead. Like those crazy lovers where they like are in the mode “if she’s not with me she won’t be with anyone”. It’s a dream I had for months and it was always the same dream, we were in this wood cabin in the north. In winter, it had been years since the last time we saw each other and he would always push me against a wall and start choking, and he would ask me like “why don’t you care”. I would just start laughing. I never told those dreams to anyone but, a week ago I had the same exact dream again and I’m just curious about why would I be laughing when he’s hurting me physically? Like idk I think I have the answer but I’m curious to know your thoughts on it! Thank you !!

I dreamed I had a freezing power

2026-06-26T01:32:58+00:00

I was in a passenger in a RAV4 or something like it, driving along and then we made a left turn and of all a sudden we were sliding on ice and the car and everyone in it (me and the driver) was going to screech sideways against a parked car and I threw my hands out and of all a sudden everything froze and then with out thinking I wrenched the steering wheel and straight mend the car before the whole thing unfroze, and then I woke up.

It was a pretty odd dream (as I don’t live in a city that has snow or ice just cold in winter) and the dream was like clear and distinct and I normally don’t remember much of my dreams when I wake up.

Help interpreting pregnancy dreams!

2026-06-25T21:32:45+00:00

Throughout May of 2026, I had multiple nights of dreams about being pregnant. I am sterilized and do not wish to have children, though I do love them. I thought these dreams were a result of a number of my close friends recently giving birth to their first babies and me being thrilled for all my new nieces and nephews.

On May 29, I woke up after having a dream that I had given birth. In the dream I knew that I had given birth, that I was keeping the baby, and that my partner was ecstatic. However I did not meet the baby nor did I ever see it. I rolled from the hospital bed and said “ok. Off to work.”

The dreams then stopped until last night.

I had a dream that I had my baby with me. A teeny tiny little newborn baby girl. Dressed in frilly fruit frocks and the like. My dad adored her. In the dream I was talking about how my kitten was supposed to have a vet appointment at 11AM and I had a four week post partum check up for me at noon. In the dream my dad wanted me to leave the baby with him and my mom and I just kept saying I wanted her to go with me to my check up.

Well I was curious when I woke up about the timing. Tomorrow is exactly 4 weeks since I “gave birth” to now having a dream about a four week post partum check up.

I’m at a loss for what these dreams could mean.

It’s not unusual that I have recurring dreams or dreams that build on previous ones. I still have certain nightmares and dreams that I’ve had since I was 4 years old. But they’ve never been this intense or realistic or so specific to one topic.

Any ideas?

An old lucid dream with Klarion from DC and moving across dreams

2026-06-26T01:15:40+00:00

Basically it started in my room. I opened my window by removing the mosquito net and leaving through the window onto the roof. My sister decided to watch over me as I moved along the roof to the window outside of my room which was also where she was. She told me to call for Klarion so I did without too much thought. Calling out his name was kind of odd, kind of like I wasn’t physically producing sound to call him but I still heard his name being called spoken in a muffled manner. Frustrated as I probably was I stubbornly called him multiple times until this girl who I’ve seen before jumped and kind of flew towards the roof, and I think my sister said to call him for him in his original form, that or I thought of it randomly so I did then the girl kind of dropped like some sort of doll cur off by her strings and then he came over to the roof in the same manner. He looked kind of young from what I noticed. I remember turning my head to tell my sister as soon as it happened which lead me to not greet him properly. I only remember holding Klarion once he came, probably in the same position I continued to feel throughout the dream which is his legs were wrapped around my waist/ hips, and his arms were over my shoulder, though later on I feel his arms beneath my own arms and my chin on his left shoulder.

Moving on the roof I saw the guy who played the Green Goblin and kind of pointed it out. Then the world kind of grew dark, or the sky did and it was almost as if I was glowing? I asked about it and they said it was normal. Then I believe this lady told me something in regards to shifting or something because next thing I knew I was moving towards this wall like I was being pulled there. When this happened I was just observing the two girls by the wall and I continued to observe the people and sights I came across. It felt as if I was phasing through dreams. I did point out to Klarion who was attached to me the whole time about the places that I’ve dreamt about, specifically pointing one out and going “I had powers here” which was inside some mall of sorts. At one point I remember seeing my reflection, and seeing my actual face, I wasn’t smiling in the reflection so I stuck my tongue out, feeling the pressure and sensation of it and kind of seeing the reflection lag or kind of glitch as I did that since both the mouths were kind of blurred but eventually my reflection also stuck out her tongue. I didn’t think I saw Klarion as I checked my reflection but I did continue to feel the sensation of him with me in my arms so I didn’t pay it much mind even as it persisted to the rest of the dreams. I think as it went on I began to wonder if I was just going to go through every dream but that wasn’t the case for long. I eventually wound up in this convenience store and I remember at another point I was trying to consciously bring myself to the upper level of where I was, I could see the internal infrastructure between the ceiling and the top floor. Also the sensations of moving between dreams, especially the first time were so vivid.

Did I experience hypnopompic hallucinations or something else?

2026-06-26T01:14:49+00:00

Hi everyone.

I’m 21, and something happened tonight that scared me more than anything I can remember.
I had been asleep for about an hour. In my dream, I was running away from someone, and it felt like some kind of recurring dream.

Then I stopped seeing the dream and became conscious that I was lying in my bed. I don’t mean that this happened fully inside the dream—it felt like I was already awake or at least aware of my real surroundings.

Suddenly I heard a deep rumbling or crashing sound. It didn’t sound like it came from outside. It felt as if it was coming through the wall or through the room itself, almost like it was moving toward me and covering me.

Right after that, I felt a strange vibration, and everything around me started getting darker, even though there was some light coming through the window. At the same time, I had a very strong feeling that someone or something was standing over me. I was terrified to open my eyes because it genuinely felt like there was a presence right above me. It felt incredibly real.

I don’t think I was fully paralyzed because I believe I could move my head, but I was extremely terrified for about 5–10 seconds. Then it suddenly stopped, but I was left completely shaken and couldn’t fall back asleep.

I’ve read a little about hypnopompic hallucinations and false awakenings. This seems similar, but I’m not sure because I felt conscious and aware of my real room when it happened.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Does this sound like hypnopompic hallucinations, a false awakening, sleep paralysis, or something else?

Why am I never myself?

2026-06-25T18:54:28+00:00

Hi! I don’t know if theres another dream-related subreddit that this would be more fitting for this, but this is the knly dream subreddit I could find?

I’m never myself in my dreams. I play these ‘’characters’’, whether ones made by my brain, or ones from things that I’ve watched or played.
But never myself.

I never even see myself in dreams as anothet person, my bodily-self is kind of just. Nonexistent in my unconscious mind, I guess?

The whole purpose of this post, I guess is to ask if there might be a bigger meaning to it rather than just me not being myself?

A vivid dream with a cat and a lucid dream where I clawed my way through a ceiling

2026-06-26T00:43:16+00:00

I’ll start off with my vivid dream since it occurred a day before my lucid dream. One might question why I’m adding the two dreams together but I’d rather treat it as a 2 in 1.

At first I was walking down this street until I reached this particular house. The house itself was on my right as I stood on the sidewalk and before me on that property were a bunch of birds. They were on the tree to my left and on the fence that separated that house from the other one. I was a bit unnerved by them, they all had dark coloured feathers, like some sort of dark blue colour. What really stood out to me were the pigeons that were with the other birds and this other bird behind the fence on the property of the house over, I don’t remember what kind of bird it was but I remember it kind of having this blueish glow with light blue feathers. Part of me thinks it must’ve been a peacock. When I walked past the tree I remember glancing back for a moment and seeing this glowing cat near where the tree was but in this sort of hole carved inside the concrete fence. It was the same colour as that bird, a light blue, but kind of like a ghost. I didn’t look long as I continued walking until something brushed against my right leg startling me. Looking down I had calmed down when I noticed it was a cat, the same one from earlier but it had coloured fur this time. The fur had patches of white, black and brown, a calico maybe? Since it was purring against me I picked it up in my arms occasionally shifting my hold to properly support them. It was so vivid, the softness of the fur and the way it moved underneath my hands or the way it’s weight pressed against me. I looked down at the cat in my arms and called out “shadow” but since they were silent and no longer purring I took it as a cue that they weren’t. I don’t particularly understand why I spoke that word, after all what ties could that cat have to shadows in particular?

During my walk I eventually wound up on this road, the same one with a roundabout section that my mind would occasionally showcase me to demonstrate my “neighbourhood“ which really didn’t match my actual neighbourhood. Regardless as I walked on the road a few cars came up behind me hitting my lower back as I held onto the cat. I would’ve walked on a sidewalk if there were any so y’all can’t really blame me for that.

Eventually I was in this store walking down a particular aisle. The cat once again remained in my arms even as the scenes changed. What I noticed was that a man was with me now. But we didn’t seem very close even if I’d occasionally see him by me and stop to wait for me. I know that I’d also every now and then stop before an item to see if he’d stick longer or just end up leaving. At one point I did want to ask why he cared so much about me but the words simply remained stuck in my mind in a moment of hesitancy. So I just let the unclear relationship between me and him linger on.

Alright now for my lucid dream which I just had today:

At first I walked into the bathroom inside this school. The lights were off and it was overall dark so I decided not to go to the bathroom. Moving further into the girl’s bathroom I went to the back where these people were gathered. I decided to climb the furniture there. I began by locking the wheels of one of the chairs on the table and began to climb up until I reached the highest surface possible. The room changed into this classroom of some kind, students walking through the door to reach the hallway on the other side to get to this gathering of some kind.

In that room I as I stood up so high I used my nail to scratch on the white coloured popcorn roof as an attempt to reveal something on the other side. Doing so created a small black streak on the wall. Then this older lady walked into the room through the open door. I got down cause she told to me I guess. I then kind of placed the blame on these two other characters there, looking at them as they eventually complied. Part of me knew that I needed some sort of outside source to do such a thing otherwise if it looked like it was an autonomous decision by me there would be some sort of trouble. As the lady left I pushed the door close and locked it so she wouldn’t come back and disturb me. I then climbed up these furniture pieces that were around and fully clawed at the ceiling with my hands until a bigger gap appeared. She came back in but I was already up there. Since it seemed like my lucidity or view was dimming I changed the narrative to I got out through that hole as I pushed myself up into that roof.

But I guess that brings the question of whether or not anyone else does that in the dream, changing the narrative whether you’re lucid or not. Because in my recent dreams I’ve been doing plenty of that.

Do u dream/think the same as u were kid? Do you constantly still think/dream u r a superhero even u r now an adult?

2026-06-25T18:32:47+00:00

When I was a kid, I have always been a dreamy boy. I Didn't have a well relationship with people arround me.

Never felt belonged anywhere. I always felt weak and lonely.

So i made a world for me, in my imaginations. I am a person with superpowers, i do combine it with reality like police and not exposing myself or whatever.

In my dreams, or before i go to sleep I think about it this world until i fall asleep, i have two friends, one which is totally unreal and imaginative and another someone I used to know but now I don't talk with. Its not like I hate him, but I just have created a better version of him in my dreams. but in real life, that version in not my type. Though, he is with me in social medias I never text him neither want to text him, its like the same feeling you have for a friend u knew before but now u r moved on. But in my dream world, he is the most important and close one to me.

but anyways, even till now, whenever i felt kinda lonely, i feel kinda unbelonged, i just go to the world and imagine the reality in that world, where I have no limitations in my power and I can do anything. I can time travel, read minds, change minds, and have unlimited money. I do think about it even if I am with friends but if I felt bored, or if I wanted something different.

I am 24M. do you have such experience? even though we are adults now, I haven't moved on from my fantasy world. and it hurts me alot, as I feel it makes me get far away form friends and even family, and present time. In my dreams world I don't need to study I pass every exam, but that's not how it works in reality.

what would wud be your advice? DONT BE A PSYCHOLOGIST, REALISTIC ADVICES.

2026-06-26T00:25:10+00:00

in the game you played as some pink pill with hands in some procedurally generated isaac-like brick rooms with random events, but the camera was placed in the corner and followed my character, i was in some multiplayer lobby and threw a peanut at a chest and it started talking to me and then a boss fight with some green bean man started and people were running from generic free 3d models of pokemon like creatures, there was a flashlight that you would hold, also i went into a room with checkerboard flooring and went on top of a table, then the generic free model pokemon ripoffs came from every entrance and i had to juke one to get out.

wrote a lil story from the last vivid dream i had.

2026-06-26T00:24:31+00:00

Was it a space station? I'm not sure. It was like a long corridor , or the tracks between two platforms. I saw a train with the main engine up in the air, like the head of a cobra. Was it hostile ? I'm not sure, I kept my distance. I was tall as a child. My position shifted. The train was further away, like I was in a stadium and the train was circling the rim of the roof opening. Perhaps the sky was outer space. The seats were empty. I think I picked up a phone. Someone's mother was calling desperately to hear their missing child. I wasn't that child. My mother is still alive. I didn't care. I told her i'm not her child. and i'm not lost. I can't deny her desperate cries entertained me in a way. I decided to move away further. Perhaps in the hallways of the stadium. The snake train thing still out there. I think I picked up another phone later. in a different area. speaker on again. i heard the exact same cries from the exact same mother from that phone. the shocking similarity from the last phone woke me up.

I had a dream about finally escaping my home life… and it turned into a nightmare. The hardest hitting dream i’ve ever had.

2026-06-25T20:17:57+00:00

As I realized all of the different symbols and meanings within the dream, I got emotional.

I went to Disney World with my mom and my little brother, but for some reason I had to enter the actual park alone. While going through security, I met a group of rogue kids who would end up becoming the main part of the dream.
There was something strange about the place. Certain words were restricted and for some reason we weren’t allowed to say them out loud.
The group consisted of me, a black guy with a mustache, and a large Asian guy. I first met them during the security check. They were already there when I arrived and told me to sit in a specific spot as part of the security process. It was a strange procedure that I wasn’t familiar with.
I remember carrying two bags, and they were extremely heavy.
Somehow, I ended up getting into their car, and we drove off toward Disney World. The security checkpoint seemed to be located somewhere separate from the park itself, almost like it served its own purpose.
As we drove, the black guy and the Asian guy were joking around. Eventually I joined in, and before long all three of us were laughing and making jokes together.
When we arrived, we headed to a huge dome-shaped building. Around the outside of the dome was a giant parkour course, and inside there was a small gym and a basketball court.
At one point, a little kid started following us around. The black guy looked over and said,
“Whose little brother is this? Why is he following us?”
We more or less pushed him away, and after that I never saw him again.
To enter the dome, we had to complete a parkour route, jumping from obstacle to obstacle until we reached the entrance.
Inside, we met another kid with curly hair who was really attractive and seemed incredibly cool. He had a friend with him as well, and both of them fit right in with the group.
Later, I went outside with the curly-haired kid. He started teaching me how to wall-stick on the side of the dome. He showed me all the different ways they had fun there. What was strange was that workers were cleaning nearby and didn’t seem to care at all about what we were doing.
Eventually I went back inside and sat down on a bench.
The black guy sat directly across from me and started talking about his hopes and dreams. He explained how famous people, including Frank Sinatra and others, had broken the law in order to become successful. In this universe, the laws seemed incredibly strict.
I told him
“You have to make sacrifices to become what you want to be.”
As he spoke something changed.
A horrific image suddenly appeared in my mind.
It wasn’t just an image. It felt like a vision of the future.. a premonition. It felt like I was seeing destiny, something I knew with absolute certainty was going to happen.
In the vision, I saw the black guy arguing with police officers about freedom.
Then the image became far worse.
I saw all of my friends lying on the ground, being beaten until they were covered in blood. The officers kept hitting them even after they were already down.
The vision ended.
After that, the three of us—the black guy, the Asian guy, and I—left the dome. We made our way back through the broken parkour route, jumping from obstacle to obstacle as we headed toward the exit.
But as soon as I reached the door, another premonition hit me.
Again, I saw all of my friends on the ground.
This time it was even more brutal.
Multiple police officers surrounded them, beating them over and over again. It was like watching people beat a dead horse. Blood was everywhere. Some of my friends were coughing up blood. Others looked motionless.
I was viewing everything from far above, high in the sky. From that angle I could see every one of them scattered across the ground—bloody, beaten, and dead.
Then came the final image.
I saw red ants crawling over their bodies.
The ants swarmed them the way flies gather around something dead. Their bodies were rotting away while the insects consumed what was left.
And I knew this wasn’t just a possibility.
I knew it was the future.
The dream ended there.
It was one of the most brutal dreams I’ve ever had.

The symbolism within the dream correlating to my home life
Heavy Bags: I was carrying heavy bags (a burden) when I was first arriving with my mother and little brother. I didn’t want to be there, because I have a lot of problems with my mom already, and didn’t want to be seen hanging with my little brother.
Going inside Disney world alone: It felt like a transition into my own world, where I was finally free.
The overly strict laws within the world: I have very strict parents, especially my mother, who has kept me from living a childhood even worth mentioning. I am not allowed to do ANYTHING. Leaving me behind from the usual teenage fun.
The rogue kids: Representations of freedom, independence, exactly what I wanted to be like. Living without all the crazy restrictions, having fun.
The little kid who tried to tag along nobody wanted to be there: Symbolizing my little brother and how he tried to follow me and I pushed him away. I wanted to be a teen doing teen things, not forced to hangout with my little brother anymore, as harsh as it sounds.

Then the inevitable ending authority had for the kids just trying to have fun, and be free. This dream has hit so close to home it’ll probably traumatize me. If you read all the way through, I really appreciate it.

edit: (yes i did use ai to resummarize the story but it’s all there i didn’t want to have to rewrite it using correct grammar and all that)

Reoccurring dream of my childhood home, does it mean anything?

2026-06-25T16:17:52+00:00

After moving i have had multiple dreams about me being in my old childhood home. In the dream my bedroom specifically is ALWAYS filled with disgusting things like animal feces, bugs and dirt and whatever you can think of. To be clear, my house was nothing like this, so it’s odd to me that whenever I dream of my room it’s ALWAYS in that state. sometimes worse sometimes better.

Then, another pattern I’ve noticed is that the clothes are almost always too small or not shaped right/don’t fit right. The first couple of dreams I was trying to go through my things and closet and was trying my best to get everything clean. I remember being worried about having to sleep in my bed because it was so disgusting.

Then last night, I finally dreamed about my current room, which doesn’t happen often. There were, surprisingly, bugs everywhere. I quickly grabbed my things and ran downstairs and decided to sleep on the living room couch. Theres a large window behind the couch, and the curtains were shut, but in this dream I couldn’t relax because I felt like someone was trying to watch me. Eventually I caved and asked to sleep with my grandma like I did when I was a little kid (not my mom though. which was weird because she was there and asking about it). While I was explaining, with my mom standing there and looking down at my grandma, we heard a knock at the door and I jolted awake.

I don’t normally look too much into my dreams but this one was weird and unsettling enough that it woke me up. I also find it odd that I continue to dream of my old room in that gross state, and now this one with bugs of all things. I hate bugs. It may not mean anything at all. I just thought it was weird. Any ideas or thoughts are welcome!

A dream from 2 years ago still haunts me: infinite pillars, red-eyed monkeys, and a body wearing my clothes

2026-06-25T19:52:48+00:00

I had this dream around 2 years ago when I was still in school. At that time, my friendships were in a really bad place. A lot of people I considered friends were drifting away, talking behind my back, or excluding me. This dream only happened once, but I still remember it vividly.(this is a bit long so please read it till last to understand)

In the dream, I was on a school trip. We were traveling somewhere deep into a jungle. I was sitting alone in the corner seat of the last row of the bus. Eventually, we arrived at our destination.

The place was surrounded by dense greenery. In the middle of the jungle stood a large bungalow or mansion. The moment we arrived, something felt off about the atmosphere. Everyone else seemed excited and was hanging out in groups, while I was mostly following along by myself.

There was a huge gate, almost like the entrance to a museum or some ancient place. We entered through it, and what I saw inside was strange.

Ahead of me was what looked like an old South Indian-style open structure with four pillars. Beyond it, there seemed to be infinity. The same structure and the same four pillars kept repeating endlessly into the distance.

As everyone continued moving forward, I noticed a room on my right. A few people I considered my friends entered that room, so I followed them inside.

The moment I stepped into the room, they disappeared.

I looked around, confused. Then I saw them outside the room, walking away somewhere. They didn't seem to notice me at all. I shouted and screamed for them, but nobody reacted. It was as if I didn't exist.

I started to panic.

Suddenly, several large monkeys appeared outside the room. What I remember most clearly is that they had glowing red eyes. They were screaming, making aggressive noises, and staring in my direction.

There was a small barred window in the room. Through it, I could see them clearly. They couldn't get inside, but their presence was terrifying.

After what felt like a long time, everything became quiet.

It seemed like dawn or early morning. The door slowly opened on its own.

I stepped outside.

There was nobody there.

Everything was silent and dark.

Then I realized the room itself had disappeared.

I was standing alone in a massive hall. The hall stretched endlessly in one direction. Pillars lined the sides, repeating infinitely, just like before.

I started running forward.

After some time, I stopped.

On one of the pillars ahead of me, I noticed a body hanging.

As I got closer, I realized the clothes looked exactly like mine.

I still couldn't see the face.

I walked up to it and reached out to touch it.

The instant I touched it, the body suddenly lifted its head and stared directly into my eyes.

I woke up immediately.

I never actually saw the face, but I somehow knew it was me hanging there.

I've never had this dream again. Looking back, I'm no longer in contact with any of those friends, and honestly that's probably for the best. But this dream has always stayed with me, and I've always wondered what it meant.

Any interpretations?

Dream journal #16

I had a dream that there were two sequels to “cheaper by the dozen” from 2010 with the same old cast, that I didn’t know about, called “cheaper by the thirteen.” 😂

I had a romantic dream, what could it mean?

2026-06-25T23:05:24+00:00

(in my dream) There was a guy in a rich household which I frequently visited, but the guy was kinda neglected there. He was someone who looked lean, weak and poor. He got arrested by the police. I was there while the police were taking him away, he turned to me while I was coming my way, we both looked at each other...with love and regret that we could never express our love for each other... But he was quite a fearless guy, he somehow got himself free from those shackles and rushed to me, he straightaway kissed me, our lips locked for a short moment, shared a hug and he returned to the police again. We looked at each other, one more time. That was it.

First time seeing dead bodies in a dream

2026-06-25T19:03:22+00:00

So this particular dream was actually kind of a repeat, like same general plot as an old dream.

In the original dream, I was a spy in a whole team led by Nick Fury, we had to retrieve a bunch of vials of something really important from an organization that was using an abandoned school as a hidden base.
We also had specialized powers that we had to activate, I had the ability to turn invisible at will. I ended up retrieving my assigned vial and escaping by parachuting out of a window and activating a mini jet pack thing.

Now the re-run. Everything went basically the same, just slight differences in presentation, still a lot of sneaking around, a lot of holding my breath in front of enemies. But things changed in terms of how it ended.

I end up getting my assigned vial and debating how to get out and get it to headquarters, the room I was in had a massive window and I seriously considered jumping out and just tanking the broken glass.

I looked down to see a railroad running right below the window, and 3 bodies sliced through the middle. 2 women and 1 man. There was blood everywhere and it caught me off guard that the dream changed into a birthday party scene and it never went back to the spy re-run.

(The thing about this dream is that it kind of blended in with other unrelated dreams too, the spy re-run dream was like the 2nd or 3rd dream at this point)

Everything in the birthday dream was more or less kind of boring and normal, my main concern in that dream was getting a good slice of cake, I woke up not soon after the birthday cake dream.

So that was my first time seeing dead bodies in my dream, it genuinely startled me a bit. I’ve never seen other people die in my dream or other dead bodies. The people didn’t look familiar, I would’ve remembered if they did. I don’t know what that was supposed to represent, it was so sudden? Even for one of my dreams.

Any help is appreciated!

Dreams continue as I’m waking up

2026-06-25T18:26:09+00:00

So I know about hypnopompic hallucinations, and I don’t think this is it (correct me if I’m wrong). What I experience is I’ll be dreaming when I’m asleep, and as I start to wake up the dream continues. Until I’m at a point where I’m still dreaming, but I know it’s a dream and I can make a conscious choice if I want to fully wake up or continue to dream. Almost like lucid dreaming except I still can’t control the dream, and it only happens when I’m in this state of half-asleep half-awake.

Am I experiencing a reoccurring dream or sleep paralysis? And who am I feeling is with me?

2026-06-25T22:03:40+00:00

I've been experiencing something different in the past 5 months or so. Different from my usual reoccurring dream experiences.

For reference, Im a side sleeper. Mostly my right side. When I wake up this is what I see (photo for reference) My closet door, and my wall clock. I took this laying down on my bed.

I was up late last night, woke up too early and tried to start my day, but was feeling pretty lagged. I went back to bed to get a bit more sleep and thought I woke up, saw my wall, but couldn't move. I thought I was awake, albeit groggy. I could see my elbow from my position, the door, the clock, but when I tried to move, I couldn't. I fell back into dreaming (something rather disturbing) thought I woke up... again, and saw my wall...again. Tried to move...again. I couldn't. I was talking to myself, in my head, wanting to move, but nothing. I wanted to snap out of it. A message notification, a knock on the door, the cats meowing. Something. I fell back into sleep. More dreams. Then I finally woke up thinking I'd been in and out of sleep for maybe an hour. 3 hours had passed.

This is the 6th time its happened in the past 5 months. Every time but once I've seen my wall from this angle. The other time I saw my bedroom door, sleeping on my left side. And my hand. I tried to move my hand but couldn't.

This is strange and a bit unsettling, but it doesn't terrify me. This other issue is a little more difficult...

My step dad passed away on May the 4th of this year. He was in hospital for 4 and a half months. In that time, I was taking my mom back and forth, 3 to 5 times a week. I was also helping her clean out their house and garage for her move to a wheelchair accessible apartment and easier upkeep for my senior mom and step dad. We thought he'd be coming home. He didn't. My sister came in from another province so we could all spend time with him in palliative care during his last week with us. A couple of days before he passed, she stayed with me while my mom stayed the night at the hospital. We had wine and watched a movie, chatted, and she fell asleep on the couch. I have a guest room, but she'll often sleep with me. In the middle of the night, I thought I felt her getting into bed. I thought I was briefly awake. It felt like she pulled a little at the covers, settled in and I could hear breathing. Normal getting into bed stuff.

When I woke up in the morning, she was still on the couch. I asked if I was keeping her up and she moved back to the couch. She said she hadn't moved from the couch all night. I'm a very "tidy" sleeper and take up very little space, even though I sleep alone. My blankets are rarely disturbed past my side of the bed. This morning was no different. The blankets on the left side were still basically in place. My sister had not been in there.

She stayed another week and a half after step dad passed. We did all the arrangements and made the lunch for the memorial, and stayed with mom most of that time.

About 3 weeks ago, middle of the night...I felt the same sensation. Just me at home, my cat was sleeping at the foot of my bed. I felt someone getting into bed with me, but this time, a whisper, asking if I was ok. I couldn't tell if it was male or female. I was on my right side, this was coming from beside and behind me. I wanted to turn over or reach behind me but the thought of not feeling anyone or actually feeling someone were equally disturbing.

The voice came again, but more masculine this time, and it said, " You need rest". Then I heard my cat hissing. I've never heard him hiss before. The sensation of a presence dissipated, and I sat up to see my cat. He was sleeping peacefully. The presence didn't feel particularly ominous, but not sll that comforting either.

To those who stayed until the readin, has anyone else experienced these two sleep issues so close together, or as often? Will it get worse? Better?

Thanks for reading. Any insight is appreciated
