Jumping can mean jumping from one situation, position, feeling, or thought to another. Elevating can mean gaining a better view. That association applies to the immediate concerns or obstacles in your life that prevent you from looking ahead into the future, or things about yourself you can’t see past. For example, you can’t see past your ambition and your marriage suffers because of it.

Dreamt that my legs were cut and being held by Zip ties.

Both of my lower legs had been cut - lower calf. The cut was circular (wrapped around my legs) and the cut was deep (seemingly deep in my muscles but not quite to the bone. The skin and muscles were being held into place by vertical zip ties.

I did not feel pain, but I knew I had to get medical attention. The urgency wasn’t great - kinda like if I had a minor cut that needed sutures. The people around me weren’t very upset or concerned.

Recently, I have been going through a lot of life changes. I hate my new job and feel that I have no control of my life. I have also been wrestling with my faith.

Any interpretations?

Cheating on my fiance...

Hi had a dream last nifht where i cheated on my fiance.

My current situation irl is im about to be separated from her for about 9 months due to a job. She will be joining me later. We both just cant pack up and leave because of finances and cant afford to be locked down with rent. I will be staying with a friend who lives in that area. Its my fiance's best friend, her husband and her sister.

My background is asian and my fiance is african american. Friend and her family is asian.

I previously enlisted in the Marine Corps.

Here is the dream.

For some reason i was back in the military. I was separated from my fiance due to this. I didnt know anyone and none of my buddies from when i served was around.

I was assigned to a house to sleep. There was a living room with a bed with a couple other rooms with beds as well. One of the rooms was mine.

I met three ladies. They were not military and they were all beautiful. A blonde, redhead, and a burnette. I was attracted to the redhead but that was it. Now i love my fiance and wouldnt do anything to hurt her. The ladies were just around for some reason. I did not know why they were there but they were slightly flirty with me and nobody from the military were talking to them.

I had to go to medical (military base clinic) because my muscles were hurting. My calves and hamstrings to be specific. I had to get some deep tissue therapy. It was end of work hours when i was checking out of medical. I was for some reason eating what i thought to be lunch and so was everyone else. Everykne took off their mask (covid existed in the dream lol) and was eating. All of a sudden there was an emergency lockdown due to someone throwing away their mask in a food container. A high ranking person had the said food container in their hand and was giving us a lecture about procedues and etcetc. He looked at me and couldnt believe the fact that i had my mask in my food container (finished food) and started to use my as an example as well.

After that was over i got back to my house. A guy was watching tv from the bed that was in the living room. I stripped down to my underwear and started to watch the tv under my blanket. Two of the three girls i mentioned earlier joined in on the bed between me and the other guy. I couldnt see their faces because i was more relaxing under the covers with my face covered and eyes closed. The girl next to me stuck her hand under the blanket and touched my thigh. A bit after i held her hand. I remember her hand being soft and gentle. I uncovered my head and looked her the girl. It was the burnette she was naked. The guy and the other girl was gone. I said to her "sorry i have a fiance. This is wrong". She replied "i wont tell if you dont" then suddenly an overwhelming semse of sexual desire came over me and we started to have sex. We eventually moved to my room. Right before i finished i stopped myself and got off the bed and was feeling really guilty. Then i woke up.

Wtf does thus mean...?

Swarming bees and bees with spider legs!

The dream goes like this. I am at home. There is someone famous wearing cowboy boots. (I can’t seem to place who he is). He throws me his boots. I take them into my bedroom. The leather of the boot that goes around the calf is pulsating like a throat trying to swallow food. I put my hand into it and bees swarm my entire apartment gathering in the windows in the corners of my bedroom in giant piles. I’m trying not to freak out because they are just bees, until I notice that some of them are spider bees! Which disturbs the crap outta me. Then I wake up.

A dream in which I cut my own stomach out

Lots of other things happened in this dream, which I cannot remember. What I do remember is a man commenting on the fact that my calves weren’t equal sizes. I explained that I had broken my ankle a while back and that side of my leg had lost muscle mass. It still hadn’t gained the muscle it had lost from not bearing weight. Then he pointed out on my leg something else, and I took a closer look and saw the thing I dreamed about a few nights ago- a hole in my calves. I basically had been bruised by a metal pole, but the pole had gone deep into mcalveslf and had given me a sore and weird looking bruise/ hole thing. So this guy pointed this put to me. Then i see there are more holes and there is blood and pus and stuff. So I start crying.. other things happen that I son’t remember. Then I have to cut out my own stomach for some reason. I’m trying to hide this from everyone but my stomach is bleeding and then it’s a bag of canned cherry tomatoes. Then I overhear someone asking if Erin (me) had been taken into the ER yet. The other person tells them that I am.
Wtf lol

Being electrocuted hurts a lot!

I am employed by a large amusement park company and my job is to oversee safety policies and just make sure everyone and everything is safe. My job requires that I have a lot of knowledge about a lot of different things. Last night I dreamt that I was working in the park and I was looking at some new substations being built. I took a step back and happen to have stepped on a electrical line. It started to tingle in my calf then it became excruciating pain. I woke up in bed with a massive cramp in my calf that burned so bad it was making me nauseous and I felt like I was gonna vomit. This isn’t the first time my mind has attempted to form an explanation for a sensation I have while asleep. It’s always weird and makes me wonder if my mind knew I was going to cramp or if the parts leading to the cramp happened in mere milliseconds. If anyone can relate I’d appreciate a comment.
