I don’t feel comfortable typing out the entire dream, but what could these themes in a dream mean?

It a was a very strange dream that included being back in high school and going to a dance, meeting a guy and partaking in sexual activities with him but later being deceived but him, doing a strip tease and being thrown into a zombie apocalypse which required me to collect these strange blocks in order to be protected.

Being chased by 'bad' guys, running away, then being protected by 'good' guys

This is the second time I dreamt about being chased by a group of people who seemed to want to hurt me, and then encountering another group of people who help me get away and protect me. This time, I tried to lose them in a train station -- I was also with a good friend to whom I borrowed a shirt from to mislead the bad guys. The good guys were showing me a symbol/tattoo that seemed to be a proof that they are my protectors. One of the good guys in my dream also protected me from my last dream, and got injured doing so.

Can anyone help me interpret this dream? Thanks a lot!

My best friend let me suffer

Once I had a best friend, our friendship became toxic on multiple levels. We had huge fights irl. This happened during one of them, after not talking for over a week I missed her but we ignored each other.

So one night I had a dream I was on a bus going to somewhere and she got on at a stop too. I was already excited to see her but she ignored me and sat on the other side of the bus. Soon after a man got on and he sat right next to me. He started harassing me in "secret", he came way too close, tried to touch me and stuff and I looked at her for help. She clearly saw it all and just turned her head away. This continued til I woke up.

Clearly we had issues, nothing like this happened irl though but I find it interesting today. I remembered this suddenly after she is trying to contact me now. I still feel betrayed, eventho she didn't do it for real. I have a feeling it's my brain trying to tell me she's not good for me.

I was shot to death in my dream

It was very weird. The start of dream was basically me looking at some woman hugging a sphere of fire that was supposed to be the soul of Jesus. The woman claimed to be his lover in a past life and seemed to truthfully be in love with this sphere of energy.

Suddenly, I find myself on top of a building in the middle of a storm. Calmly i lower myself down safely and zip line to a singular door at the edge of the void. As I open it, I walk into this super bright corridor with a door at the end of the hall. As I walk halfway, the door suddenly opens and the voice of God begins to speak to me. I don’t remember what he says but I just remember saying “why did u betray me?”. As I say that, 6-8 robotic looking creatures appear in front of me and shoot me instantly killing me.

I don’t know what this means. I’m not really a religious person anymore. Also, I was never scared of dying during the dream, even when I was shot I didn’t feel any pain.

I just remember dying and for like 2 seconds I felt like I was slipping into this void before someone said “no not yet”.

I’m actually kinda scared

My Dream Came True?

4 days ago, I had a dream that the guy I like (we’ve been talking for a few months now) stabbed me in my dream. Later that day I looked up the meaning of that dream and most of them said that it was a sign of being backstabbed/ being betrayed. 2 days later I caught him flirting with one of my best girl-friends and I was really hurt. I later thought back to that dream, and I guess my dream foreshadowed this..? Anyone have any takes or experienced the same thing?
