I flashed my dick at El Chapo’s mom and sister. Had to go on the run because he was trying to have me assassinated for it.

It starts off with me chilling at El Chapo’s mansion, with his best friend/right hand man. I had just built them a badass addition to their house. It was like an indoor bull fighting arena that had a nice beer garden sort of vibe to it.

I was proudly showing off my new project to Chapo’s right hand man when suddenly I had to piss. So I go outside around back to piss but Chapo’s mom and sister would not leave me alone to pee. So I decided fuck it, i gotta pee hella bad, so that’s what I’m gonna do.

I warn the two ladies, who are standing directly in front of me, that I have a rather large penis. I pull out to pee and they gasp, remarking to each other that indeed I do have a rather large penis.

I put my dick back in my pants and the realization hit me like a ton of bricks- I JUST FLASHED MY DICK AT THE MOTHER AND SISTER OF FUCKIN EL CHAPO! AND THEY LIKED IT! IM A DEAD MAN!

So I went on the run.

The rest of the dream was really Intense, but it’s starting to fade at this point. What I do remember is ending up in jail somehow, escaping into a hospital, where everyone’s been killed by this hitman that’s after me. Then me taking the clothes from one of the bodies as a disguise. Then we end up in a pig slaughtering facility where the final battle ensues.

He finally finds me, pulls out his gun, I go in for the attach, disarm him, gun jams. There’s a struggle, I get the gun unjammed and I shoot his bitch ass.

Victory is mine.

Me and my big ass dick walk off into the sunset.

Demon Dream

For background, there are demons in my house, now the activity has gone down tremendously since sleeping with crystals under my pillow, lighting candles, and using myrrh, BUT, last night, I had a creepy dream. I was in my house with my best friend when all of the sudden, we could here a little girl laughing, even though I knew what it meant, I followed the sound into the bathroom. When I got there, I looked behind the shower curtain and saw a little girl with short curly brown hair just standing there. I instinctually told her to leave and that I didn’t want her there but my voice wouldn’t come out, she just smiled. I don’t know why but she slapped my stomach and then all of a sudden, the little girl turned into a man and for some reason, so did I. I mean, it was me, but I was suddenly looking through the eyes of someone else, and then the male demon said “she’s down there with a baby in her stomach”. I think he was talking about me. I’ve been reading tarot lately and I’ve been seeing the tower and empress cards a lot lately, which would normally mean that I probably couldn’t get pregnant, but I already thought I couldn’t....so I’m worried that I am and that the demons in my house are after me or some shit like that. I know this was a rollercoaster ride from start to finish but please understand that I’m freaked out, I would really appreciate anything you guys have to say on the matter. Thank you

Dated an ugly red haired man and cheated on him with my current boyfriend

There is a TL;DR at the end so if you don’t want to read, and

I was sitting in a school courtyard, hugging and kissing my current boyfriend, Sandy. From my side, there is a guy whining that I never hug him. The guy has red hair and freckles and honestly he looks ugly but I assume me and my current boyfriend broke up in dream but we still were attracted to each other even though I was dating someone new. In the dream I wanted to break up with the red head man, who I have never met before in my life, but I felt guilty about potentially using him so I didn’t want to break it off yet. I did not like him more than pity him though. I will call the red head, Steve.
The bell rings and the boys leave, while two of my girl friends walk me to my class. I care deeply for both, there is none of the red head “I only pity you” stuff going on with my friends. However, I rarely talk to one because she might be depressed and doesn’t answer the phone, we will call her, Sofia, while the other is my best friend, Usagi (She loves Sailor Moon). As we walk to class, the sky goes dark with clouds and as the rain falls, lightning nearly strikes us. We run to the furthest building possible, me carrying Sofia at one point while she says she’s going to vomit. The lightning nearly strikes four times before we make it to a building with cover. I keep carrying Sofia and she throws up on my back. I’m annoyed but I understand. Usagi promises to care for her on their way to class and both leave.
When I go to class, I ask for a spare sweater or jacket since my shirt is nasty. It smells awful for obvious reasons. My friend, Aaron, offers up his sweatshirt and I take it going to the bathroom. It’s a girls bathroom but it appears both men and women are inside studying French. I studied French in high school and I am afraid I can’t speak well so naturally they speak it better than me. I then lose my phone somehow while changing out of my shirt. I try to find it when an old man begins cleaning the faucet and when I smile commending him for his work, he smiles back.
I then just end up in a car in a parking lot with Sandy, my real boyfriend. I don’t remember what happened except I ended up being chased by a bull and had to find my way back inside even though I don’t remember why I got out in the first place. I can’t remember anything else so I think it ended there.

TL;DR
• Two boyfriends, one I am dating in real life, one that is ugly and doesn’t exist but apparently I’m cheating on him with my real boyfriend
• Two friends, one needs to be carried and throws up when I carry her
• Lightning storm
• I get chased by a bull
• Lose my phone while changing shirts

There is a TL;DR at the end so if you don’t want to read, and

I dreamt about a sister that i didn’t know about

Today I dreamt about a sister that I didn’t know about (she told me her name was Nora and that she was 13 years old I’m 14). I remember that I was just hanging out with her I was asking her questions. I made her soup then we went to a bird convention where there where many birds on display. We walked around and had a great day. She was the best person that I have ever met she was like my best friend. Then I saw my mom I asked why can’t Nora come home she told me we can’t afford another person in our home (this isn’t true irl because we are expanding our house) then my mom told me that we had to go home and I hugged Nora and went home. I woke up crying

This is some context about my life: I have two siblings a 6 year old brother and a 11 year old sister me and my sister fight and argue a lot and she doesn’t like hugging me or when I try to kiss her cheek. My brother is annoying and cries when I do something he doesn’t like. But I still love them.

Please tell me what my dream means
