I had a dream that I was in a casino and things took a turn in a strange direction

There I was standing at the entrance of a magnificent casino with huge lights, it was a red carpet entrance and I amongst three nameless others were the stars. The brilliant flashes and popping of the cameras of yesteryear seemed endless. Dazzling attire and marvelous sights, bright neons and the search light bouncing around the sky marking our location, all filled the air with a very exciting atmosphere.

Walking along the what appeared to be a long endless corridor crowded with people one chap with a top hat stopped and asked me "Good day sir, what brings you to tonights festivities?" Cooley slipping my sunglasses on I said In my best Jack Nicholson impersonation "The Cocaine". Taken aback the man seemed stunned at my public claim for drug usage but regained his composure. As I was stepping away I could faintly hear him yell out from the crowd "..but I do admire your honesty!"

It was apparent I was important. But who, I did not know. And why? suddenly it occurred to me I had a female companion, not a date but a friend, perhaps a co-worker or collaborator on whatever thing got us here.

She was trying to get the attention of a man, he didn't hear her over the constant roar of the crowd, but as one of his friends following behind passed us I made sure she got an introduction. Off she went With the men, presumably to enjoy the atmosphere, I watched her disappear into the crowd smiling, laughing....

Then it happened. The crowd went silent and in unison did a 180 degree turn and put masks on. All matching in step, the floor falling out to a void of oblivion behind us there was a sense that everyone knew something I did not yet I knew I must play along. "yes, I must follow this crowd because they knew what to do and when, without so much as a alarm!" I thought.

A monotone voice came over a PA system: "ALL must report to their perspective flights, they will be sealed off"

And suddenly I knew what would happen if I was sealed into a vessel. I would be gassed! They were getting rid of us! I broke free of the crowd and ran to the highest portion of the building I could find. Up an endless flight of escalators the floor now periodically falling out in front of me, and having to react quickly, jumping to solid floor to avoid falling through the random openings.

Suddenly, I was back at the time previously mentioned with my female companion. I watched her face laughing and smiling and disappear into the crowd...I knew what was coming next, a heavy pit filled my stomach. Then it came. The silence, the 180 degree turn, the masks, the marching. I did not comply...

I watched as the others marched passed me. The floor fell out into nothing, I jumped in. I fell into an endless hole of what appeared to occasionally have stone walls, geometric shapes, horns and shadows. Grabbing for anything I could only made the fall more violent, tossing me upside down and disorienting me into a state of vomit and a level of sickness not perceivable to the human psyche. Suddenly the bottom. .. No impact, just sand, forming slowly around me, swallowing any memory or thought along with my body. When it all went black I entered what was a new life. What I experienced was just a game, I knew this it was not explained it was more of a understanding. I took the virtual reality headset off and ascended to the top of the same hole by way of elevator that I had just moments ago falls for so long.

I reach the top and everything is white tile with blue glowing edges. . . Where do I go?

Then I wake up (THE END)

There I was standing at the entrance of a magnificent casino with huge lights, it was a red carpet entrance and I amongst three nameless others were the stars....

I jumped into a dark bottomless pit to get an imp off of me.

I'm not sure if this was a dream, a nightmare or a sleep paralysis. Anyhow I felt as if I was waking up as I heard my alarm, then I felt I was being dragged back to sleep and couldn't wake up. A small red demon only what I presume to be an imp had grabbed me and wouldn't let go. So I just jumped off into a dark bottomless pit. I then saw myself ascending held on to a crane without the demon and was able to wake up.

A strange dream that was...

Dreaming of a deep ocean, reaching the bottom and digging a hole

Hello everyone!

Last night I had an interesting dream.

I was in a forest by daylight fighting against a robot (a crossover between a power ranger and Iron Man). The thing was very powerful, yet I managed to cut his right arm.

Then, the vision changed. I was diving deeper into an ocean and the light and it was getting darker as I was going deeper. I reached the sandy bottom of the ocean. There were no animals or rocks. I remember I was sure where I was going.

Upon reaching the bottom, I dug a rectangular hole, but placed nothing inside. Then I began to ascend. Everything was dark, yet there were sea lamps (?) weakly illuminating the path to the surfacr, which I followed.

At a certain point, a powerful light emanating from the bottom of the ocean, from the whole I dug, made its way to the surface. I cut through the darkness.

I know the ocean is a symbol of the subconscious. Descending indicates a voyage into the deeper layers of the subconscious, as it gets darker. But I have no ideas about the other symbols.

The sea lamps would indicate a sort of connection with deeper aspects of the subconscious and that I can go deeper and ascend the surface without much trouble, as I am able to find the way.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

In my dream I had sex with Satan and trying to stop the apocalypse - NSFW?

Tagging as NSFW, but not sure if it's needed?

TL:DR
I was fighting Satan's apocalypse, but failed as he caught me and impregnated me, I also fell in love with him and became kind of obsessed with winning his affection

My dream started out on a more nightmarish side..
Me and 2 friends were kind of like Buffy, we were fighting monsters and trying to stop Satans apocalypse.
However, eventually we are caught by some of Satans henchmen and my friends were imprisoned.

Satan had other plans for me, I was destined to bear his child.

Satan was impossibly attractive, in a 90's Hollywood bad boy way. Shoulder length wavy, blonde hair, intense blue or green eyes. Fit and toned, but not overly muscular.
He wasn't necessarily my type, but undeniably attractive, when I woke up, all I could think about was how insanely hot he was.

I was still working from the inside trying to stop the apocalypse, in order to do so I had to get into a hellish library and find a specific scroll.
As his prisoner and bride, I didn't have free reign as he didn't fully trust me, but I was working on building up trust so I'd get more free reign of the place.

I don't remember exactly how the ceremonies went down before the bedding ritual, but when the time came for him to impregnate me he took his sweet time with teasing before actually starting the intercourse. It was consensual, I thought he was so incredibly attractive there was no way I could turn him down. The sex wasn't amazing though, it's like he enjoyed torturing me with my own horniness for him and didn't give me the full experience on purpose.

I was still crazy for him and wanted him to like me, love me even.
There was another girl residing with us, I'm not sure if she's human or a demon, but she was very bitchy to me. She wanted Satan for herself and took any opportunity to make me look bad or try to sabotage my relationship with him.
I even said we could share if he wanted to, but she wanted him for herself.

He had a huge penthouse apartment away from the violent carnage on the streets, but next to my bedroom was the portal to the hellish library I needed to get into to steal the scroll and end the apocalypse. It was locked, but I could see from my door if someone was heading in.

One day I see Satan and a henchman going in to the library and I sneakily follow them, the library is incredibly dark and grimy. Black metal is twisted in elaborate ways to form the "bones" of the building, it's so dark I can't see anything without the light of my phone.
I can't find the scroll before I can hear them ascending back up from the lower levels of the library so I have to quickly retreat before they see me in there.

After this attempt at stealing the scroll I seem to let go of my attempts at saving my friends and the world as I get increasingly more concerned with dealing with the bitchy girl and saving my relationship with Satan.

It's as if he had a weird hold on me that compulsed me to want him more than anything else and made me completely irrational, I just wanted him and to have sex with him again, but make him give it to me for real and not hold back.

The dream abruptly ended as I woke up from being to warm, I had fallen asleep on the couch with all my clothes on and my partner had put a blanket over me

Sigh, the weird thing is I really want to go back to the dream.. I can't get over how amazingly beautiful Satan was in my dream.

I'm not religious nor did I have a religious upbringing, I've watched Buffy and other supernatural TV shows before, but not recently.

I don't care what kind of interpretation people have to offer, any insight is cool as I'm just very curious what this dream could be trying to tell me.

The End of the World

I've had this dream, that I was outside with one(two?) young woman who had very dark hair and a smirking face, she being in the left from me. Then I saw the sun as it became white and then a weird tonality of blue (like burning methane) and then it became black and all the sky became black. Then there was a new sequence where there was an ascending road in a city and I was in a truck that had concrete packets in it, and I dropped the concrete packs down the road while the truck was going up that road as that same road was slowly Desi reheating behind us. Then there was a last sequence where in the space there was a triangular shaped giant spaceship that hurled some kind of laser at the earth and the planet started to engulf in a firestorm.
