Strange dream, what does it mean?

I had a dream where my family and I were going abroad to someplace in Asia for some sort of business purpose. When we got there, it was grey and bleak. It was like somewhere else but it was not what I was expecting. It had a sense of familiarity to it. We were supposed to be there for a few days but something was off. There was a building we went to with this fancy elevator, an Asian man was in it dressed in a red butler-type suit and you'd have to pay to get in. There were coins of different sizes, placed into this box at the back. Once the elevator got up, the man thanked us and we went to the next floor. The dream quickly faded but I felt a sense of urgency. I woke up, had my breakfast and now I'm typing this. What does it mean? Very strange, never had a dream like this.

Dreamt of getting leprosy

So for some reason my sister and i went to an ancient greek city. We were trying to get into some sort of secret society. We were greeted by a man who had a white substance on his hand which i assume to be plaster for construction and that by shaking his hands we would be able to get recognised by other members of the society. So my sister and i proceeded to explore the city and then i met an elderly female lepper. Her left hand was apparantly free of the disease and she shook that hand with my sister and i got her diseased hand instead. She then told my sister to wait there while she took me in a queu and explained to me that i had contracted leprosy just like everyone in the queu but i should not worry as she could cure me after 15 minutes and that i would come out with perfect teeth and clear skin. Well i waited some time only to hear the old woman scream. I rushed to see what happened only to find a dagger in her heart and i realised how screwed i was. I was pissed and also very sad cause any chances i had with a crush of mine had just vanished. So i took up the dagger and i swore to find the murderer and shove that dagger up his ass. The dream continued and somehow i became a butler for a powerful vampire serving emperor palpatine but i wont talk about that because i dont remember the details.

Dreamt about her again..

A girl I knew since I was 3 years old at the start of primary school and I always felt a great close friendship with, I have dreamt about a numerous times recently. It’s weird though coz I haven’t even spent time with her for about in nearly 3 years.

Last night the dream was very intense. I ended up sleeping through my alarm this morning and waking up late.
I eventually got with her or so the feeling was an ‘eventually’. I can’t recall the entire dream now but we were then on a tram near the end of the dream and some vile man was taking the piss and being angry and shouting at her, so I stepped in and defended her in conversation and shut him up. I turned to her and lightly grabbed her thigh and said.. I’m sorry, She said she was sorry too and then we kissed.
We then got off and we were in our childhood town, I said ‘So you gonna show me where you live ? I never asked before because I thought it seemed rude’
She laughed at me and said in a slow voice ‘of course’
It then cut to me scrambling through a lot of houses and not figuring out which was hers, she was nowhere to be seen and then I came out of a third house realising each one wasn’t hers and a butler saw me at the door, pulled out a gun, and shot me in the shoulder for trespassing.
I then woke up.

I’m so very confused.. what does it mean ? Can anyone help ?

I had a dream last night that I was lost without transportation, so I got taken in by this really big family temporarily.

For some reason I stayed more than one night. The time passing by felt blurry and it would suddenly be the next day.

This family had like 10 kids ranging from toddler to teenagers. I remember talking to them toward the beginning of the dream but I forgot what they looked like or what we talked about

Every night they had this weird tradition to yell these weird chants before they ate. I forgot what they said but it would be initiated by the dad yelling it to let everyone know it was time to come down for dinner. Then the rest of the kids would show up to the table while repeating the chant back to him.

We would eat enchiladas every night, and there was actually a butler who waited the dinner table

They say you can’t dream of a place or people you’ve never seen, even if you don’t remember them (could even be someone you saw in public, in a commercial, etc) Some of them looked familiar so this might be true, but I have no idea where that house was from in my dream.

"The Druffles" (long dream with dream art)

This was a very strange and scary dream.

The Druffles was a show that took place on a[lot of yachts and ships](https://imgur.com/a/zzV9l4L) that had many rooms and doors. It had a gargantuan cast of characters, but all of them were either called Aunt (name) or Uncle (name).
My family and I, in particular my aunt, uncle, and cousins, went to one of the rooms that was treated more like a game.
Make it to the end of the room.
The room was very long, all white, built like a school hallway, and slanted downward. The floor was slippery, but here was the kicker: you had to hold onto the concrete wall (no railing) that sometimes twisted and contracted, kinda like as if it was a bunch of waves inside of the wall. [The Aunt](https://imgur.com/a/BGtUaJy) (who had red pigtails, a long weirdly coloured dress with greens, blues, dirty yellows, etc.) who was the hostess of that room said, "Warning! The wall's about to wave!" and we'd have to get on our knees, face the wall, and dig our fingers into it.

[It was like something was bulging in the wall,](https://imgur.com/a/JMwbOz1) and I remember thinking, "What, is there a giant worm in the wall?" and the thought had this giant dragonlike worm bursting out of the wall. Eventually we slowly made our descent into the back of the room, where there was [a small rest spot](https://imgur.com/a/vweosLx) that looked like this. I remember one kid laughing at a certain word and I'm wanting to say he was eaten by something.
After that, we saw [a bunch of doors in a single, giant hallway.](https://imgur.com/a/W3R5T06)
This is where shit gets creepy.
We had to make our way through the hallway without looking into any doors or going into their rooms. All of the doors were the same, dark brown wood with golden knobs, but the rooms were different. I remember glancing at one of the rooms as I walked by and it showed a pure white padded room, and near the end of the "tour", I saw [a room](https://imgur.com/a/jTiwQYP) that had [a disheveled looking guy](https://imgur.com/a/e4kWLCW) with blood splattered all over his face, messy, wet black hair, strapped to a bed with [a "doctor"](https://imgur.com/a/ep2t7We) who had "tight" grey skin, like his face was pulled back, strands of white hair on the back of his head, goggles with dark lenses and gold frames, a surgery mask, dirty white clothes, black fingerless gloves, and holding an electric pizza cutter.
Said pizza cutter quickly carved into the man's arm and I specifically remember the man smiling at me as it happened.


I remember making it to the end of the hall, to which the Aunt (I'm wanting to say her name was Aunt Murphy, Aunt Maria/Moria, or Aunt Druffle) screamed at us while transforming into [this weird thing](https://imgur.com/a/kJFW1kD), "NOBODY GETS OUT OF THIS PLACE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION" and a door flung open as the room tilted and dropped us into the room. I remember being squished and crushed by all of the other people in the room, but what was frightening about it was that they didn't even look like humans anymore.
They looked like paintings, as if Edvard Munch and a kid collaborated together to make some very disturbing humanoid people.

I remember the later parts of the dream where it took place at a giant antique house that looked like this. I remember walking down the stairs and calling for "Aunt Butler" to which my cousin asked, "Wait, isn't he a guy?" and I said, "Eh, B. likes to change from aunt to uncle." [Aunt/Uncle Butler](https://imgur.com/a/hlDIaoD) looked like a giant floating eyeball in a dark blue suit.
Aunt/Uncle Butler looked at me and I can't remember what they said to me, sadly.
I looked out the front door and suddenly, everything changed.
It wasn't the ships anymore, it was my IRL aunt's house.

I wasn't looking out the front door, I was sitting outside, hiding behind a truck. I looked at the front yard and there were these toy poodle and cocker spaniel puppies there that had no teeth.
My mom was sitting there taking care of them.
I remember thinking to myself, "Wait, wasn't there a show?"
"Yeah, I think there was a show, I can't remember the name..."
"Truffles? The...Truffles?"
"Don't you remember? It was on PBS!"
"The Druffles! There we go! The Druffles!"
The dream ended with [the logo of The Druffles](https://imgur.com/a/djo2Jzg) being shown.

This was a very strange and scary dream.
