My Dog Visited Me

A little backstory. Recently my dog Cash passed away suddenly after suffering a heart attack. He was a 9-year-old pit bull. Cash had been my best buddy for the last 4-5 years. I'm 20 years old so he had been there for me during a time when I'm still trying to figure out life and such. I would often put my head on his big belly and talk to him about all the problems in my life. Whether it was relationships, school, work, or athletics, he didn't care and loved me for me which meant a lot.

​

I was tired today due to getting home late after a basketball game and then having to wake up early for class. So I came home and decided to take a long nap. I've never lucid dreamed nor have I ever tried to. But this dream felt so different from any other dream I've had. I was home and I went to my backyard where I found Cash laying down in his favorite sunbathing spot. When I saw him I immediately went up to him to start petting him. That's when I realized something about this dream was different. I could actually feel Cash. That's when I started to pet his favorite spot, right behind his ears. He got so happy and I took a step back to look at him. He had this big grin that he always had after he had been shown affection. His tail was wagging and his fur was shining in the sun. I started to cry in my dream because of how happy he looked and how much I missed him. That's when I woke up realizing my eyes were watery.

​

I'm still emotional writing this, think I'm going to have to let it flow later tonight haha. I really felt like Cash visited me. Can anybody relate to this or want to enlighten me as to what this dream means and why I had it? Would appreciate any of the sorts.

So I think I'm haunted by demons

So this one night while staying in Mexico I had this dream where I saw I believe a bull demon...

My dream started like I was at a party and I was leaving and offered a ride but declined, I started walking and I hear a moo/roar and I for some odd reason say "An evil has manifested" and immediately look at the top of a building and see a bull demon and turn around to head back in, to which the demon crashes in front of me then I wake up with scratches on my forearms and calves.

ILL NEVER SEE DOGS THE SAME...

Before you read: know that I’m very curious to anyone’s thoughts on this scary ass dream.

Last night I dreamt about dogs. Not your average dog, I’m talking genetically modified hulk looking dogs that were all about the same size but different furs and snouts. I had never seen any of them before, except for one dog who is my friends dog(small black friendly cute pit bull.)

In the dream a few people I know invited me to check out this very nice house which was basically all glass and ceramic, plants everywhere, 2 floors, and very detailed.

When I arrived I noticed the dogs took an interest in smelling me and just being friendly. After about what seemed an hour in the dream, they started to chase me at full speed. I recall just standing alone in a huge room and here they come full speed. No growling, no barking, with expressionless faces. And when they got close to me they...basically tried to rape me? I don’t know it was the strangest thing...I fucking ran.

Trying to hide or just escape to another room in the house. I would evade them and try to tiptoe around to find my friends and let them know like hey THESE DOGS ARE FUCKING NUTS.

once the dogs heard or saw me, they were in hot pursuit. To the point where I was using my weight to hold the door back so they couldn’t come into the room or closet I was hiding in.

When I tried to tell people about what was going on, nobody could hear what I was saying? Or basically flat out what I said didn’t register in their minds. Or I would tell them like can you put those dogs outside or lock them away somewhere and that they understood, but not the reason as to why they should.

The only dog that didn’t try to hunt me was the one I knew. But when I say these dogs were swole. I mean beefy fucking dogs. I managed to just climb out of a window at some point and just run away from this hell of a hole.

But yeah.... WHAT THE FUCK MAN

Okay so in my dream I'm in a new house on a big bed by myself and I'm bout to cover myself up and my ex's pit bull laid on my legs and we made eye contact then that was it.
He's a American Staffordshire Terrier and he's champagne coloured. And everything in the room was white like a hotel. He also had his back legs tucked front legs out straight over mine and his face turned and we held eye contact.

Embracing the soul of a horse

Hello dreamers! I've got a very special dream that I wanted to share with you. This happened a few nights ago so it's still fresh. In advance, sorry for my formating, I'm on my cellphone and also emglish is not my first language.

So onto the dream. I remember being on a ranch, with a group of friends, where I live is common to have ranches just at the outside of the city, so it reminded me of one of those. With horses, sheeps, cows, all those normal ranch animals. With a big main house and at the back, big corrals for all the cows and bulls, divided with long fences. There were large pastures and small hills, all inside the property; where horses/cows where running, eating etc.

I remember going to the stable with my group of friends and seeing the horses in there, all beautiful, some with long manes other short ones. We enter the stable from the main entrance of it, then, in the back it had a small fenced alley that lead to a big enclosure(the pasture i was talking about), it formed sort of an L shape, with the small part coming directly from the stable.

We where walking inside this L shape corridor when we spot some ranch hands having trouble with a horse. They where trying to control it but it was meaningless, he was super crazy, like desperate or scared. I remember paying close atention to him. They could not, by any means, calm him down. All of a sudden it pull hard from its leash and the guy holding it fell, so he began to ran like crazy inside this corridor. Everyone got out but I could not, all I wanted to do was to calm him down.

I saw it ran back and forward in the long strip of the corridor, until I put jumped in front of him and began speaking to him, in the calmest voice possible. I remember having the sensation that he was about to ran me over but I don't know why he stopped dead in his tracks, stand in 2 legs and then just fell. Then, while being in the floor I put my hands first, in his body, then I kinda drop in the floor and hug him. This is where it became a little weird. After hugging him, I felt someone hugging me, it was the warmest embrace I have ever felt. It felt so pure, so peacefull, with so much love. When I noticed it... it was a little child, hugging me. With drying tears, and a peaceful stare, like he was waiting for that hug. It felt so pure. We hugged a little longer and then I woke up. Still feeling his embrace.

I woke up in tears but happy tears, like he and/or me needed that hug. It felt so real and so beautiful. I remember just closing my eyes and thanking for that encounter. I don't know what it meant but is was beautiful.

Thanks for reading!
