It’s a way of saying it’s admired. It has higher authority, status or importance. It comes first.

Above can mean perspective: See: Balloons

It can mean thoughts and thought processes: See: Attics

I dreamt about the real world

It was as if I had seen the real world, not the one that we are in but, a dystopian place where people who consciously dream are locked away for fear of finding the real world. I escaped from the prison to eat my favourite food, chicken schnitzel, due to the fact that in the prison you barely got to eat and a lady (That I knew was guarding the real world trying to catch dreamers) spoke to me and asked me if I was ok, I stared blankly at her, she replied with "Oh good I almost thought you were conscious" with a sinister smile. I heard speak of someone once I had left the restaurant talk about words that would unlock the gates to the prison and let the conscious dreamers be free, I found other dreamers, fell in love and walked amongst the rooftops of cities and through streets for what felt like days. I found myself reaching a pinnacle of a grand tower, that stood above the city and the code words that would set the dreamers free, I returned to the prison, near the restaurant that I had broken into, the same lady spoke to me she was angry with what I had done, that I would let people know of the real world and with the words of power, I let out all the people into the real world and woke up.

I have no fucking clue

So it all started off when I was sitting on a train with my mom, travelling through some beautiful landscapes. We were in Poland but I can't really remember seeing something similar in this country (I'm Polish). As we arrived at our destination it was night all if the sudden and we headed straight to a seemingly abandoned building for spending the night in. The room we were in, as well as the building, weren't destroyed or vandalized at all, both seemed like a typical hotel but without electricity. Anyway at some point in that "hotel" I fell asleep, dreaming about me robbing a store over ans over again (I guess it was even a Louis Vuitton store, i know it's not funny but i dreamed it, I'm sorry;() with the guy who sings this Superidol song (yeah he sang it in my dream) and somehow i was back then while I was robbing the store stuck in a time loop so i did the same thing over and over. At some point i woke up in my dream, managed to look outside and see a woman jump from a higher place just like in an action movie.

Anyway that was it, hope it isn't too weird and incomprehensive, i just woke up and i don't want to forget anything:( so I'm sorry if I made any mistakes in it

Hi, it’s 3pm now and I’m still kind of paralyzed by this dream pls help understand. Even cats were frightened by the energy this morning. going through some kind of spiritual awakening

So, I woke up with that weird feeling something must be wrong, then I saw that the light was turned on downstairs - I spent the night by myself, my partner decided to spent the night at his workplace. I was kind of scared and wanted to get up to turn it off but then my cat lay down on me to cuddle and I decided to wait until she had enough and would leave. Moments later I realized the light was turned off again!! Our second cat came upstairs and looked very frightened! I got really scared and decided to get up later, that thought seemed to soothe me. I fell asleep, So now what happened in my dream was that weird things would happen in our house, noises, floating objects. In that dream my partner was at home but our home looked a little different and I was trying to scream desperately to show him but there was no sound coming out of my mouth! Then I tried to to film with my phone what was happening but it didn’t work.. Then I heard a very loud buzzing in my ear, which happened quite often lately in wake life but not that intense.. I don’t even know if that buzzing ringing was in my dream or real, I remember screaming and I honestly don’t know if I might have really screamed in “reality”. So, when I was fully awake I got up immediately, going downstairs and realizing the light was turned on - again !!

I’m really confused. As mentioned I’m going through a spiritual awakening but I have no idea what this might have been. Srsly grateful for any thoughts on that. I still feel very drained, energetically tired and can’t seem to let go. It keeps make me feel down .. tried yoga and high vibe meditation.

So, I woke up with that weird feeling something must be wrong, then I saw that the light was turned on downstairs - I spent the night by myself, my partner...

Heard this song in my dream and it does not exist

It was such an amazing song it was electronic music and deep house. It had an upbeat melody and rhythm with deep and punch bass. The low's, mid's and highs were all crisp and I could hear it all perfectly combine to create this masterpiece of music. It was gold to my ears, I searched my spotify playlist, my music playlist on my phone and on YouTube. But to no avail I could not find this song. For that moment in that dream there was a song that was so perfect that It could not exist in this realm. Man, does It sucks!

I just had the most terrifying nightmare I've ever experienced. Advice needed

Hi, I'm extremely shaken about a dream or a vision I just had I have no idea what it was. I had just gotten back from a party and I was high and drunk, and I was getting ready to go to bed when I got up to turn the light and I completely blacked out. I then had the most terrifying and real nightmare I've ever had.
It was complete darkness, darker than darkness, like a complete endless abyss of it. The I started to see a fog that expanded and expanded and then I saw something terrifying. A demon, or something I can't even begin to describe what it was; its faces were changing constantly, it's eyes were the only light source, like looking into the sun, and it's voice, like from the bottom of hell.
The fear I felt was unreal, like there was no possible hope of happiness ever again, pure absolute terror. It then started chanting several of my friends names including me, over and over.
This felt like real life, like I had never even passed out, not had I ever had a dream that felt like I was genuinely there.
I asked what it meant, what my friends names meant and it replied with the most bizzare answer that sent chills down my spine - "if you had seen the face of God, no answer could satisfy you".
I have absolutely no idea what that even means but it feels like it has scarred me. Then I saw a bunch of things, some things I can't even remember if I tried, but one thing I saw was a train crash, and I also got a message saying "Peru", though I didn't really hear it I just felt it.
And then I woke up on my floor, completely and utterly terrified. I have NO Idea what just happened but I feel like I NEED to find out what it was, I feel like I need to find out what it meant, like I need to go to the mountains to speak to Holy men or monks or something to find out what the hell it meant. I can't stop thinking about it.
Does anyone have any idea what it could've meant? Because I'm too scared to try and get to sleep at this point, I feel like I must find out what it meant.
I’ve left a link of a drawing of the demon figure I made when I came round.
