What are black and white dreams about?

okay so last night i had a dream that i was at a hotel pool with my cousin and my aunt. i love my cousin so much her and i grew up together, and she loves to swim. there was a manta ray in the pool it was black and white. she kept going close to the edge to touch it and play with the animal.

i knew this would happen so i kept telling her to get off the edge. so THEN THE NEXT THING I KNOW, THE MANTA RAY PULLED HER UNDER THE WATER AND SHE STARTS DROWNING!! and she’s screaming “HELP ME HELP ME PLEASE” and she’s crying and gasping so i’m assuming water was in her lungs.

mind you, i cannot swim. she was 10 ft under and i woulda drowned saving her so i yelled for my aunt and she was so calm about it?? she just dove in and got her quickly and apparently the manta ray grabbed her by the neck and my cousin was kinda sad but fine afterwards.

Normally I don’t see in first person, but in this dream I actually was first person. Everything was vivid and I, the dog, lived in a nice suburban home with a family consisting of a father who was often away at his job and who came home late each night, a mother who stayed home, two kids a year apart who were nice but in the dream I was wary of them when they got too hyper, and an old grandmother who stayed at the house (on the mother’s side of the family) and was always really cranky and disliked dogs. There was the kitchen which had black and white tiled flooring and a counter through the middle of it. There was a living room with a large TV in it and a saturated green rug on the wooden floor. The kids shared a beige colored room, and the parents shared a smaller and cozier room that had a brown wood and red theme to it. The grandmother had a room that was basically green, yellow and white, and she collected tea sets and fancy dishes, which were all placed in these giant cabinets/bookshelves/on the wall. I spent roughly 5 years as their pet, and in those 5 years I learned all about them all and how they were like and every minuscule detail about the house and the immediate area surrounding it where I had been allowed to roam. In the dream I was fairly sure I was a large dog and even though I had this dream a couple years ago, I still remember it just as vividly as I had the dream today. Also in the dream towards the end, the grandmother died of cancer.

For the last 8 years of my life I have had the exact same nightmare once every year. Doesn't matter what time of the year but only once in that year and it's really creepy. The nightmare goes like this and every time there's a slight change. I'll mention the most notable ones but they always start and end the same way: the in between is also extremely similar with maybe one or two changes.

1. It always starts off with me opening my eyes in a black room and then it shifts into third person in a black and white city and I'm on a roof
2. I start jumping from roof to roof and I'm always screaming to see *someone*. I don't know who.
3. I get in some sort of vehicle with a faceless person (the person I was looking for) and we just kinda teleport to some stall selling coloured oranges because everything else is black and white and the person with me begins to develop the face of someone from my family. Then they pick up an orange and get poisoned by it and die
4. I wake up in a coloured city this time and then I get teleported into the same black room I was in before but this time there's floating numbers. I reach the number 100 and then I just die. Flat out die just like that.

Then I always wake up and I always instinctively walk out of my bedroom. Always the same. The only difference is the person who gets 'poisoned'. What the hell does this mean? I'm not scared of the dream anymore since I've become aware of it but it just creeps me out.

It was a very disturbing an elaborate dream involving politics blackmail and pedophilia.

There is this very powerful right wing politician R that bullies opposition around and is sadly very very popular. His party hold power in the equivalent of senate and the house and majority of state parliaments as well. I personally hate the politics and demeanor of R.

​

In my dream I saw R holding a gigantic press-conference/political rally with audience in thousands. It was like he was on a stage down in a valley and the audience was in mountains around it. Was like a football stadium kinda view but valley and mountains. Its evening and dark. R walks onto the stage with a kid and says the kid has something to reveal. R starts talking about another politician N. N is a decently well known opposition politician. I don't love N but don't dislike him either. Seems respectable to be holding fort again R and his party. N belongs to one of the few opposition held states.

Now R and the kid starts narrating how the kid was kidnapped and disappeared in and around a guest house/resort which is in the political constituency of N. The kid was thought dead but was very much alive and a captive. The kid was repeatedly abused and assaulted and raped by N and his powerful friends. To the point where the kid almost felt hopeless and started accepting his fate.

Then R starts saying saying he has video evidence. He doesn't want to show the video evidence because of its graphic nature but has made an animation of it for public screening. He plays the animation. It was extremely graphic and bloody. The black and white (sometimes colored) animation had scenes from a very narrow walled space with a flickering clay lamp with oil and cotton wick at the far end, then the kid facing the lamp and the politician N. The place was so narrow it seemed once you get in you cannot turn easily and have to back out. The floor was bloody and the kid was in pain.

​

It was horrible. I woke up extremely disturbed.

​

Clarification: The politicians are real but not US politicians or of any large country.

I just had a dream in a black and white world where a massive Goofy (from disney) head appeared behind a spinning globe. He then proceeded to snort up all the sand from the sahara desert in one line which turned into minecraft sand blocks while he did so. He then puffed out smoke into an orbit around the earth, kind of like the universal logo, that said "It's high noon".

What does this mean?
