Murderous doll during a famine
Idk why the heck I had this dream and this is also the most detailed dream I remember but I guess that’s because I told my mom as soon as I woke up.
Im my dream my family used to be rich but then we went bankrupt because the economy fell and almost everyone became poor. our main house got repossessed so we were living in our dock house at the end of a sea port in a fishing town. There was also a famine going on. Someone exploded out house with a freaking rocket launcher so we were forced to live in our garage which wasn’t attacked to the dock house. There was also a cursed doll that was trying to kill me. When I was asleep in the garage I saw the doll that had been locked up in there and she started attacking me in my sleep. I was screaming for my mom and she picked up the doll with my blue shorts and threw the doll by a pile of a bunch of stuff. I was like “what the heck mom?! You should’ve held onto her, now we won’t be able to find her and get rid of her!” And my mom and I were looking and couldn’t find her. So it was like around 5 am already which is when the fish market opens up. To get away from what just happened I went to go get the fish since that was the only food you can get in this town. Crops were failing and animals were dying so it was hard to get food. When I went to this guys stand there was one rich guy there asking for a shit ton of stuff. The fisherman told him that the fish were all gone. So that man left and then the fisherman told me he only has 5 choices and that I should take 3 and leave. I grabbed a big ass salmon, 2 small fish (that were wrapped together in a banana leaf) and a squid. I didn’t have a bag or anything so I had to carry the freaking fish in my arms. When I was going back home I freaking saw that stupid ass doll again! Except this time she had morphed into a little kid!!! But like didn’t have any hair, or clothes, or private parts so she kinda looked like a gingerbread man lol. And she started attacking me but I had the freaking fish in my hands!!!! I was screaming for my mom and my mom came out of the garage and was like “what the heck is happening?” And I told her the doll had morphed into a kid and that was it. My mom was like “don’t kick it because it’s going to look like you’re kicking a little kid if the neighbors walk by” and I was like “idgaf! I’m not trying to die and she made me drop the only fish available!” So my mom grabbed the little kid and freaking chunked her ass into a dark alley that was around the corner of the garage. And I was like omg we have to find the fish fast before she comes back. We were looking like crazy and for some reason there was a bunch of broke ceramic where I dropped the fish. So the fish got really powdery and I could only find the 2 small fish because they were wrapped in the banana leaf. I couldn’t find the rest but the kid was coming back so we had to go inside the garage and lock the door. I was like “wtf how are we supposed to feed the family with 2 little fish and that thing keeps trying to kill me!!!!” The kid was banging on the door but I guess it didn’t know how to open doors because there wasn’t even a lock on the door so she could’ve just turned the knob and gotten in lol but then she stopped banging and went somewhere else.
Then I woke up lol
Idk what any of this means but that was a crazy dream for me.

Shot and killed someone, then woke up in browns training camp
At this particular point in my life, I am trapped in a visicious cycle of debt.
I owned a rather successful business, for five years, that failed last October. I have a couple years of back taxes that I didn’t file, because 18 months ago I started having troubles with said business, and procrastinated. It’s my own fault, and the issues with my business have compounded these issues.
I also have a large amount of personal credit card debt from trying to prop up the failing business- along with remaining debt on the assets of said company. I currently am employed again, and in such a manner my wages cannot easily be garnished (contractor.)
I’m struggling financially, and will eventually be able to get these taxes filed (a prerequisite of filing bankruptcy) and eventually clear the debt through brankruptxy. Filing taxes, filing brankruptxy? It cost money. Quite a bit, and I can’t get the money together easily to pull myself out of this situation quickly.
I live with daily fear and anxiety of being served with lawsuits from my failed businesses debt, be it from debt collectors or banks I owe remaining balances to from the loss of my business assets.
So the dream starts predictably-
Sitting in my home, a constant knock at the door. I check the peephole and there is a man I do not know, who’s body language screams business, and serving me. I ignore him, he keeps knocking, shouting and whistling. This goes on and on. Eventually I open the door and demand he leave, quickly shutting the door.
The knocking and whistling continues and worsens. I have a loaded gun I keep hidden in a cabinet near my front door (I live alone, no children etc)- so I retrieve the firearm, and reopen the door.
He apparently had two other people with him, and one rushed into my home seemingly to intimidate me, so I shot him. Twice, in the chest.
The next portion of the dream transitioned into, really god damned weirdly, finding myself in the lobby of the Browns (football team) training camp lobby, wandering around asking for a bathroom to hide the gun in. Finally finding one, I try to hide the gun in a trash can, but did it in front of an entire roomfull of strangers that saw me in bare daylight.
I woke up shortly after that. Fear. Fear was my number one feeling. Sadness, I was reeling from the action of even simulated murder, but my empathy for the man is killer in a dream almost made me cry.
Fuck me I cannot wait to get this bankruptcy filled.
At this particular point in my life, I am trapped in a visicious cycle of debt.

So i had another premonition dream!! Something is speaking to me!! This one was about Saudi Arabia and russia and china and their plan to destroy america :D
So in this dream i had a meeting from a few different angles. One of them was joe Biden in the White House and he said that russia is deliberately trying to drag the ukraine war on even if it means letting their own soldiers die by the thousands because it is hammering inflation and making his problems worse
​
then the new king of saudi arabia, Muhammad bin salaman, said the Saudi kingdom has started a new course and that course does not involve the United States. He then tells his peeps he’s gonna raise gas and oil prices to begin the dismantling of the u.s. oil dollar and that it will compliment russias efforts to destroy the american dollar as well. He tells his government peeps that the big overall goal of russias war is to dismantle the western order and turn them into the places they have been colonizing for centuries
​
so oil and gas start to spiral out of control because Saudi Arabia and russia have been raising prices on it, and as a result in the not too distant future america begins to have some 1979 chaos times a lot when gas starts to reach $10 a gallon and america‘s inflation problem begins to lead to higher import costs for gas and oil, it cannot cover its domestic needs even as it is the worlds leading energy producer
​
so this is where the dream gets spicy. The king Of Saudi Arabia then says “hey, look at america their money is becoming worthless we need to switch up to some yuan man” and then Saudi Arabia uses the crisis they created to justify the end of the american oil dollar and begin the domination of the chinese oil yuan . China then does a 1-2 punch on the u.s.a. It accommodates the kings request and at the same time uses americas bad relations with Iran to fund literally whatever Iran wants in foreign oil infrastructure
​
then bin salaman goes the most apeshit he has ever been and reaches out to Iran directly for peace talks, they both dont like america now and can act on it and they do, they invite the u.a.e. To evict the u.s. navy from the Persian gulf all the way to east Asia, revoking americas exclusive right to protect the regions oil tankers . Europe, in the midst of an energy crisis itself, and now with England no longer part of the EU pressures great britain to cancel the u.s lease on its Indian Ocean base of Diego Garcia
​
Australia, under immense pressure from the chinese, then tells Washington the seventh fleet is no longer welcome to Fremantle as a homeport. And america is evicted from the entire Indian Ocean
​
the u.s. navy begins a chaotic spiral, it can barely cover a quarter of its energy needs, and it needs to import the rest from these hostile nations it needs to protect us against. An oil shock begins in the United States that was designed to occur right alongside the future recession we have coming up, prices for everything become eyewatering and jaw dropping. i see scenes that are similar to pre nazi germany, where German children rolled wheelbarrows full of money because the money was so worthless, except this time it was children and mothers taking shopping carts of it in america to buy the most basic necessities. Wages go into free fall, and all of our exports just stop being exported and then because some areas of america cannot pay for police there starts to become a purge like setting everywhere. And in some rural communities because people cannot access food they just literally start eating each other. The united states files for bankruptcy and the whole world forces us to pay reparations for all of our wars and we slowly descend into madness, darkness and chaos unlike anything we could ever fathom as a nation.

Or when I looked in google it said it may be a sign of bankruptcy or death incoming in the family which frightened me.

Dream about failing businesses woke up sad
I had a dream where out of the blue I watched an animated documentary about two men. They both opened a hotel next to each other. The first man's hotel failed and he went bankrupt. It showed him standing in front of a boarded up building holding a sign saying "bankrupt nothing left, life crisis" and he was bawling.
The second guy's hotel was successful and it got bigger and bigger to the point the 2nd guy had a harder and harder time managing it. It showed him sadly wishing he had his simple hotel back. Somehow the business collapsed and failed and the second man lost everything. It showed him holding an empty piggy bank and he was crying too (in the dream he was literally saying 'boo hoo').
All of the sudden I got an image of my ex girlfriend alone in her bed crying. We were together for two years and I ended the relationship because I just did not think a marriage would work and there were other problems. We did not part on amicable terms.
I woke up in the middle of the night and I just had this huge urge to call her just to see if she is doing okay. While I don't want to reconcile, I really do hope she gets married and has her own family.
Even though the business part is very simplistic and people don't just go completely broke when a business goes under, I just woke up feeling very sad and slightly guilty.
I had this dream two months ago but it's seared in my memory and it gets me sad.
Note: I'm not an entrepreneur, I don't even work in the private sector
