Most fucked up and profound experience of my life. 100 percent true.

I absolutely am awestruck right now.

Long story short, I cannot believe I am in my bed right now after this dream. I am mentally not okay and probably will be scarred for life.

I'll spare the details but I had the weirdest, goriest, and most realistic dream of my life. On top of that it was a dream, within a dream, within another fucking dream.

I dreamed I was an American special agent alone inside a nazi compound tasked with getting some kind of document, killing as many as I could and extracting myself.

It was lucid and I was totally in control. I thought I was actually there... I killed at least 15 men and women with a knife. It felt so real.. I've never stabbed anyone and never plan to but holy shit if I did now I would already know what it feels like. Bones cracking. Blood squirting. I mean I was relentlessly slitting throats and stabbing eyes and killing people in their sleep.

I even stabbed one nazi so many times my knife broke and I grabbed his knife off of him and kept stabbing.

Guys it was unbelievably real in the moment. I cant get over the flashes in my mind of what I did.

On top of that I woke up from that dream into another where I explained what the dream I just had to someone else.

IDK GUYS SHIT IS FUCKED UP AND IVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO ME AND I NEED TO FUCKING TELL SOMEONE. But how do you tell someone you brutally killed a lot of people in a dream? I'm fuckin scared lowkey.

I need advice.

I absolutely am awestruck right now.

I never met her.

Ok so hear me out. I know when you dream and you meet random people, and their faces could be of strangers you have met.
But is it possible to dream about someone that you never met, with close to pin point accuracy? Let me explain:

So in my dream, me and my co-workers were in a car on our way back to work. We stopped at a convenience store and they went inside while I waited in the car, sitting in the back seat.

Out of nowhere at the window across from me, this woman shows up. Of course I wasn't paying attention at first because I think I was on my phone. She caught my attention by speaking up "Hi, sorry to interrupt you, are you busy?"

She was pretty, she had wavy brown hair, a pointed chin, blue eyes and kind of high cheek bones. I was startled and since I'm not good with talking to woman while being off guard, I managed to fumble out a no.

I don't need to go into the dialogue to much because it's starting to slip my mind as time passes. Anyways, we introduced ourselves to each other. Even our full names (For the reddit's sake,, let's call her Piper). The gist of the conversation was that Piper wanted to stop and talk to me because she thought I was cute (that's how I knew I was dreaming). After that topic, we talked for what felt like hours. I don't mean just a casual conversation. I'm talking about the kind of phone call you have with your high-school sweetheart til 6 O'clock in the AM. It was to say the least, really nice...

So when I sadly woke up, I couldn't help myself. I went on Facebook and searched her full name out of curiosity. I was shocked to say the least. She is real, but I'm fully certain I have NEVER met this person before. The chances of it happening are slim as it is. She lives on the complete opposite side of the world.

I didn't bother to considering if this was possible before. Has this happened to anyone else??

Ok so hear me out. I know when you dream and you meet random people, and their faces could be of strangers you have met.
But is it possible to dream about...

Ridiculously expensive League of Legends merch with glowing gigantic Teemo penis sold at a hospital

My mom fractured bones from her cheeks and I accompanied her in the hospital with my extended family.

When my mom's in the MRI, everyone of us could hear her muffled screams as well as seeing the images from a screen.

My grandma noticed that the butt area of my pants are torn apart and warned me. Some of the pants/shorts I have IRL are torn apart in the crotch area, but never in the butt. Also in the dream, I was wearing white underwear when the last time I wore white underwear was when I was a child.

Timeskip. Now I'm roaming around the hospital and asking about where they sell the "league of legends champion eggs with props" and their prices. Some say 6 liras (72 US cents), some say 7 liras (84 US cents). This may seem cheap, but this dream takes place in a public hospital (aka poor people hospital) in a poor country. A normal price would be 3 to 4 lira (36 to 48 US cents).

Timeskip again. I find a white room with multiple displays that show all of the champions. There's a vending machine in front of it. I take look at Tristana, my main and fave. Her prop is a penis as long as her arm and it glows. Apparently that penis belongs to Teemo.

I put my money (can't recall the amount) in the vending machine and get an unknown champion that isn't Tristana. I get 5 liras (60 US cents) of change back and put it back in, but immediately regret it.

To all those read this, I'm really sorry.

Dream Interoperation help please.

So the other night I had this weird dream where I had an immense pain in my three fingers (left hand) my index, ring and third finger all hurt a lot in the tips. So I started pulling on them to try and crack them- like I usually do when I get finger pains in real life and it started hurting more until The tips of my finger literally came off. You could see the bone and everything, at first this kinda scared me but then I started worrying about how I cant play claw or hold the playstation controller the same ever again without my finger tips (even started strategizing on how to get them-the finger tips- in ice and to the hospital in time, but gave up for some reason and kept trying to hold the controller but it didn’t feel the same).

I've dreamed about a alternative dimension NSFW

The sky was red, the land was made of bodies without skin, the windows were made of cartilage, the streets were made of human limbs and skin, the streetlights were made of bones and instead of grass, there were spilled organs , some building had rotting giant organs. There was raining blood and i was alone with no more sounds than the sound of the rain and a strong metallic smell.
