What are possible meanings for dreams of alleys?

Dreaming about being in an alley implies limited options, because alleys are sometimes dead ends. See: Dead ends

It can mean you have been sidetracked or diverted from where you want to be. You’re not on the main road.

Or perhaps you have put yourself in some sort of jeopardy, because a “dark alley” is typically a dangerous setting, day or night. On the other hand, something that’s “right up your alley” means it’s perfect for you.

I recently had a dream about god and I don’t understand the meaning and it kind of freaked me out?

this dream took place in a skyscraper on the las vegas strip (thats where i live) and it was new years. we were having a new years party and it was with everybody from my school. and i remember arguing with this teacher i hated from middle school. and then all of a sudden we look outside. and the whole entire strip was falling apart. buildings were collapsing, places were being bombed. the world was ending. and i remember them making us go into a gymnasium. one half of the gymnasium was for ppl who wanna go to heaven and the other half was ppl who wanted to go to hell. and i remember going to the heaven side because i figured why not try to go for the best. and i remember panicking because i felt like my sins were so big that god would never except me. and i was seeing everyone else get accepted into the gates of heaven. like straight panicking. and everybody was in line or w.e. and i remember when it was my turn this guy asked “why do you want to go to heaven” and i said “ because i’m funny and they need funny ppl like me because i bring food energy” and the guy was like 🤨 and so then someway somehow we ended in this alley. AND I WAS WITH GOD. now everyone does have this description of who god is, but i remember like glancing at what he looked like but my view wasn’t on him the whole time. like we never made eye contact. or anything. my view of him had his head out of my eyesight i could only see the neck down. and i remember he had me and this other girl playing this trivia game. and i remember one of the questions was about something from mean girls. and we took a break and god looked out our score, looked at me and was like “you need to do better” or “your barely keeping up” something like that. basically telling me i need to work harder ig. and sooo then we played more trivia, and before i woke up the score was 5-4. i had 5 the girl had 4. and the purpose of the game was , who ever won would go to heaven . please please help me understand this. is this god himself trying to talk to me or like is this just a stupid dream?

My penis fell off

....this had to be one of strangest dream ive ever experienced. And fucking frightening to say the least.

Causally in my dream i noticed something in my pants felt weird so i reach down and my penis just....came off. I freaked the fuck out and panicked looking for ice to get it to the doctor to be reattached.

Got so shaken up i woke up....thought, well that was fucking weird.

Fell back asleep and then this time im with my brother. The police are beating the shit outta him and this other cop holds me back and says 'this needs to happen to make a point, maybe they will pay his phone bill in a few months'

They finally stopped beating him, everyone walked away. And he jumped on a bike and i chased him into an alley. He rode his bike as fast as he could into a wall shattering bones in his body.
I ran up to him thinking im about to slap this mf for trying to kill himself. I looked down and he seemed relieved. Before i said anything he asked me to just hug him. So i did....and told him i understand if he needs to let go. We embraced in a hug and he passed away.

Whats...going...on...here.
Btw to add my brother did try to kill himself a month ago. The navy has been denying his psychiatric requests and it got so bad he lost control and almost pulled it off. Luckily someone busted his door in and found him laying there bloody and unconcious.

So that was weird.

I was sleeping in this section in the woods and got up and had to leave my stuff behind and as I was running away this guy is yelling that's my yard so I jump into this alley and walking on the fence is a weird hybrid of fox and cat very old and I feel a sharp pain in my ankle like real pain in my sleep and I check the ground and floor in the alley is all fiberglass - I'm sliding on my knees trying to get somewhere and this guy shows up sliding on his knees in shants draggin on the ground and I realize he has no legs under his knees - I make my way into this dark concrete house and upstairs into a room that has very colorfull paintings on large clothe sheets hanging on walls and I see a women on the couch in the corner of my eye and then look and she's gone I take another look and zoom up towards her with my vision and she is suddenly smaller and some sort of dark colored clothing barbie-esque figure - A guy is doing a lecture as I sit across from him at a table and this part of the dream cycles about three times and each time is a little different him saying do you need a copy of the book and it's always a different book name but the name he says doesnt match the name on the book one time it says hemmingway - I'm in the passenger seat and one of my closefriends is at the drivers seat and she said before we go I have to put on this CD and says it's white noise I hope you like it as I do. Don't remember anything after that.

Embracing the soul of a horse

Hello dreamers! I've got a very special dream that I wanted to share with you. This happened a few nights ago so it's still fresh. In advance, sorry for my formating, I'm on my cellphone and also emglish is not my first language.

So onto the dream. I remember being on a ranch, with a group of friends, where I live is common to have ranches just at the outside of the city, so it reminded me of one of those. With horses, sheeps, cows, all those normal ranch animals. With a big main house and at the back, big corrals for all the cows and bulls, divided with long fences. There were large pastures and small hills, all inside the property; where horses/cows where running, eating etc.

I remember going to the stable with my group of friends and seeing the horses in there, all beautiful, some with long manes other short ones. We enter the stable from the main entrance of it, then, in the back it had a small fenced alley that lead to a big enclosure(the pasture i was talking about), it formed sort of an L shape, with the small part coming directly from the stable.

We where walking inside this L shape corridor when we spot some ranch hands having trouble with a horse. They where trying to control it but it was meaningless, he was super crazy, like desperate or scared. I remember paying close atention to him. They could not, by any means, calm him down. All of a sudden it pull hard from its leash and the guy holding it fell, so he began to ran like crazy inside this corridor. Everyone got out but I could not, all I wanted to do was to calm him down.

I saw it ran back and forward in the long strip of the corridor, until I put jumped in front of him and began speaking to him, in the calmest voice possible. I remember having the sensation that he was about to ran me over but I don't know why he stopped dead in his tracks, stand in 2 legs and then just fell. Then, while being in the floor I put my hands first, in his body, then I kinda drop in the floor and hug him. This is where it became a little weird. After hugging him, I felt someone hugging me, it was the warmest embrace I have ever felt. It felt so pure, so peacefull, with so much love. When I noticed it... it was a little child, hugging me. With drying tears, and a peaceful stare, like he was waiting for that hug. It felt so pure. We hugged a little longer and then I woke up. Still feeling his embrace.

I woke up in tears but happy tears, like he and/or me needed that hug. It felt so real and so beautiful. I remember just closing my eyes and thanking for that encounter. I don't know what it meant but is was beautiful.

Thanks for reading!
