It can connect with the idea of something held back, and once let loose there’s no way to stop it. Pent-up emotions are like that, especially anger. Or when the truth must be told and it’s been a long time coming.

An avalanche is comparable to anything impossible to stop once set in motion, or a delicate situation. One wrong move has the potential for disaster.

"Avalanche" of trees

I live next to a mountain, so in this dream i looked outside my window and saw an avalanche of trees falling down from the top then covering my house and blocking every entrance and window. I believe it must be some sort of an anxiety dream.

I had a weird dream/nightmare last night where my gym became a hill and a man chased me through an apartment building

It was a long dream. It started out with me at school doing several activities. Then, somehow, I‘m at my local gym. The front of it no longer has an entrance, but instead is a very curved grass hill. My former choir teacher is there and there are about twenty kids there. The kids all start climbing the hill, but then they fall down at the same time and start rolling down on top of each other. It sounds like an avalanche and I can see some kids get pummeled, but no one is hurt.

After this, my best friend comes out of nowhere, and we start walking downtown. I remember we talked about his mom picking us up once we got there. I started telling him about the kids falling down the hill, and he laughed at me. We’re walking through my normal neighborhood, through a street I go down everyday. But then suddenly we end up in the top floor of an apartment building. It’s lively, not really run down. I see down the hallway a man coming towards us. We turn to the right and start walking down another hallway to get to the stairs. But suddenly I feel a prick in my neck and the man grabs my body. My friend just keeps walking on. I try screaming out to him, but my voice is suddenly too quiet to do so. He just walks down the stairs. He even looks back at me, but he keeps walking.

The man drags me into one of the rooms and then suddenly I’m on my computer desktop. I was just playing a game? I’m on an NFL subreddit with several downloaded files. But it’s not a typical subreddit. It’s more like an old forum. The page I have up has a download link that I click on. The file that’s downloaded is a half-life map, but it can be run like an executable.

Once I run it, I’m right back in that apartment building. Specifically the hallway leading up the stairs. It doesn’t feel like I’m playing a game. I’m literally there. I can see down on the side of the hallway there’s a possum’s head, with no blood or anything. I then start walking to the room where that strange man put me last time. As I do this, I hear laughter from a group of men, like lets players making fun of something in a game. I stay put in the room until the man opens the door.

I’m now back at my desktop, with another file downloaded. The forum post on the screen says something about a “final version” of something. I run the file and I’m right back in the hallway leading up to the stairs. Once again, though, it doesn’t feel at all like a game. This time, I start running to the stairs, and I can see behind me that the man is following me. I go down like three flights and I’m already at the bottom of the building. But this man has nearly caught up to me, though. I start sprinting to a door that looks to be an exit out into the city streets, but as I’m running, I’m moving extremely slowly, like a snail’s pace. I can barely reach the door. But when I do, instead of actually going out the door, I crouch down and try to hide from the man following me. This doesn’t work, as he sees me, and walks up to me.

That is when I woke up.

I died in my dream last night.

A group of people, my husband and I included, had been taken prisoner and were being forced to participate in a game run by a one world order. In the game, we were all presented with obstacles we would have to overcome, and every obstacle ended with one person dying. The thing was, at the very beginning, we all were given one name each, the name of someone else in the group. If a person (A) was in trouble or about to die during one of the obstacles, and one of us (B) had that person's name, B would have to give their life to save A, or else B's family/loved ones would be killed. So at one point I had to watch as my husband pulled a struggling woman away from an avalanche, only to be swept away and killed himself. As the dream went along, we eventually found out that the reason that we had all been chosen was because we all had some kind of dirt on one of the main officials of the one world order. My dirt was that I had found out from a friend that the representative from China was a closet pedo. The dream ended when the person who I was supposed to die for, Raphael, was about to get crushed by spikes coming down from the ceiling. I pushed him out of the way just in time before the spikes pierced me through. I woke up choking on my own spit and woke up my husband with my coughing. Needless to say, it a very unsettling and very detailed dream.

i died in my dream and it went on.

I died in my dream in a rock avalanche, saw my body go down the hill dying, dead.
Then I saw my perfectly preserved dead body decked in jewelry and people analyzing my corpse, as I see them do this one of them tries to steal or inspect a gold nose pin, but something makes them put it back.
Then they all start taking notes and I keep watching.
The dream did not end when I died. It went on. I woke up a little later.
I've never seen myself die in a dream before.
they usually end before I do.

Walking alongside Jesus dream

I dreamt that I walked along side Jesus and we were walking up a very rocky mountain. The rocks were huge and it was dark outside. Two men offered us a ride in their vehicle, we got in. The two men were in front while Jesus and I sat in the back and we were all casually chatting and having a good time. The two men were very friendly, but they randomly kissed. Once I witness them kissing, Jesus then took me and himself out of the car and then there was an avalanche, the men were falling off the cliff and I asked Jesus to help them. Jesus walked away, and gave them his back. (mind you I've NEVER been against gays or anything of that sort so I was confused on this) he then continued to walk with me up the mountain and he then showed me these chained animals, waiting to be slaughtered. They were raging and trying to attack us but were chained. We walked passed them and he then pointed at this young white goat, and he mentioned he was a good one. As he pointed at the goat all this pus and bacteria came out oozing from the goats back and then the goat calmed down and was not raging anymore. We continued our difficult walk up the rocky mountain, he showed me more but I cannot remember. What do you guys think he was attempting to tell me through this dream? Since I had the dream I've decided to cut off meat of four legged animals from my diet, since he did not show me chickens/birds or fish/ sea creatures of any kind. Can anyone help me interpret this dream, please? I'd highly appreciate it
