Has a Dream of Your's Ever... Reset?
Hi, I'm making this post because I had the most bizarre dream experience to date, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this as well.
Alright, so a few days ago I had a dream where my older sister and I were staying at the home of a cannibal family (normal dream stuff). I don't remember any specific details, however I do know that at some point we were in danger of bring killed (and probably eaten).
Now here's the kicker: the whole dream *started over*. The whole scenario reset all the way back to the beginning. But, what makes this even more interesting, I still remembered what happened in the first "run through" of the dream. I still remembered that my sister and I would be in danger soon. You would assume I would become lucid after that, but I didn't! So during my second run through of the dream, I instantly knew I was in danger and ran out of the house as fast as I could. I don't remember my sister coming with me, so sorry to her. After running out other things happened but it's all inconsequential and half-remembered so I won't bore you with the details.
But yeah, after I woke up I was rattled ever since. It's such an odd experience being pushed back in time but still remembering what happened before. It kinda messed me up existentially, it's been making me feel like I'm in the Matrix or Inception.
What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever experienced something like this? Is this a rare or common experience? Does this indicate something mentally? I would live to know!

Had a dream a friend of mine tried to rape me
It was so unsettling. This was three nights ago and I'm still weirded out by it.
It was new year's Eve and I left my boyfriend (who is my BF in dream and in real life) at our place to go across the street to check on another friend, who was home alone, and make sure she was okay. I'll call her Laura for the sake of this story. Well, we just were talking and it was late (past the ball drop) so we both started to doze off on her bed. Well then, her boyfriend, who I'll call James, came in, drunk. For reference, I've been friends with James for years now, and did used to have a crush on him maybe 3 years ago before he and Laura got together, but that's completely in the past now. He and Laura are dating in dream and in real life.
Anyway. He was super wasted. I could tell just by how he was stumbling around. And he came to the bed and started spooning me. I just assumed that he thought I was Laura, since it was dark and I was on their bed. But then Laura got up, said "if you're going to keep cheating on me, you don't have to do it right in front of me" in a weird exasperated/bored voice. She then left the room for a bit, and James started to get really forceful. I'll spare the details because they make me ungodly uncomfortable, and I dont want to trigger any rape survivors reading this.
I was able to fight him off, and then I just started yelling at him about how he was horrible and a drunk bastard. And Laura came back in the room and got mad at ME for yelling at James. I then told both of them off about how unhealthy their relationship is (which is, for other reasons, something I kinda believe irl too. But hey, not my business, not my problems).
Next, the dream switches into the next day and James is texting me and calling sometimes because he wants to meet up so he can properly apologize. I agree to meet him in a public space with my boyfriend around 2pm. The dream ended on me snuggling with my boyfriend as I told him all that had happened and the plans for the meetup.
It was so unsettling. This was three nights ago and I'm still weirded out by it.

Death of my father
So I woke up at 7:30 and I was like ya know I think I’ll go back to sleep. Terrible idea. The dream I had was that my dad died, and I was walking around the house thinking about it, as you do, and I just couldn’t take it anymore. I collapsed to the ground crying my eyes out. I forced myself to get up, and then I walked outside to do some chores. Everywhere I went, I saw glimpses of him walking around, doing his normal thing. Finally I dropped something over my fence and went down the hill my house is on to get it. When I got there, he was just standing there. He had a weird glow about him. I asked him why he was here, and he made a joke about being bored. I felt my tears start to swell again and he took me into the warmest hug I’ve ever felt. I woke up to find I had been crying in my sleep. Do your thing, reddit.

End of the world type stuff...
please allow me to share my weird dream. And comment your thoughts. I just woke up in the middle of it but I’ll try not to be boring.
I was in a hotel resort with my mom and sister. The room we had had a balcony overlooking a beach, like a small bay. It was at night. I went outside alone for a smoke.
A calm clear night, bright moon and all. You could see the stars and some clouds.
All of a sudden two balls of blue glowin light were coming down from the sky in the distance crashing through the clouds, leaving a trail of smoke like they were about to hit the earth and their glow started to reflect on the sea. Then I looked up! and behold!!! It was a full Alien Space Armada going up in the night sky with giant dark spaceships as high up and far up in space as they eye could see....
So I ran inside and told my mom that I was going crazy and told her about this and I started crying and telling my mom “I’m sorry I’m sorry” then she got up and told me it was ok and we went to check.
So we went outside to check but the Space Fleet was still there and my mom saw it and it was advancing down to earth. I think I remember pods were falling and splashing and robot like aliens were coming out of them on the beach....The end of the world I tell you!!!
Then we ran inside, we found my sister in the lobby. The people in the hotel gathered...they started panicking and then running. My mom and my sister included...
I remember thinking “don’t run that’s gonna make it worse they’ll corner us”
Somehow I got hold of some type of shotgun and I started shooting at them. I shot at them from a door opening so I wouldn’t be flanked by them I was able to take down some of them. I could see them pretty close inside the hotel they were in search and destroy mode. They had red lights glowin all over them.
But after that I woke up ....I know there was more detail to it but that’s all I could gather when I woke up
Thanks I appreciate if you read through the whole thing.
please allow me to share my weird dream. And comment your thoughts. I just woke up in the middle of it but I’ll try not to be boring.

How I finally beat the "being chased" dream
Like many people I had the recurring dream of being chased by a dark figure, it was a shadow in a trench coat, no facial features just shadow. I began having the dream when I was in elementary school and had it until just less than a year ago. It always went the same, I was running through my house, or my high school or my hometown and he was always right behind, the dream would either end with me falling off a building or bridge or him getting right up to me and reaching out with a shadowy claw and me waking up screaming.
Well I reached a low point in my life, had broken up with my girlfriend and just had a lot going on at work and school. I was fed up with life in general (NOT suicidal, just to the point I had very few "F's" left to give). Had an especially bad day and went to bed, the "dark figure" dream started, but instead of being terrified as I always had been before, I just got fighting mad. I was done with it! If he was going to kill me then so be it, but I was going to give him one hell of a fight! I remembering turning toward him and charging full bore right into him, all fear was gone there was only utter rage, I wanted to rip him limb from limb. I had the general dream sensation of wrestling around...and realized I wasn't hurting him....but he wasn't hurting me either, he was slashing me with shadowy claws but I felt absolutely no pain. Then I remember staring him right in the shadowy void that should have been his face and just laughing, laughing harder than I had ever laughed. I woke up laughing so hard tears were streaming down my face. But the thing is I felt much better. Not only about the dream but life in general, my mood had improved a hundred fold. I felt ready to take on the world!
After that the dark figure made a several more appearances, but the terror was gone, I might feel a tinge of fear when he first appeared, but I would quickly get over it and stand my ground and think "you ready for round 2 buddy? I know you can't do a damn thing to me" and he would fade away.
