My Crazy Dream
# Chapter 1-The Beginning
The dream started off with me and my family sitting at a table(i sometimes have a 1st person pov or 3rd person pov) and i was currently in a 3rd person pov and i saw this scorpion, ankylosaur, alligator hybrid that broke through the window and attacked us, we all run upstairs except for me because i wanted to escape through the front door, so then as i was about to open it i saw a utahraptor or something so i threw a purple man outside of the front door to act like bait and i heard screaming but i ran upstairs this time but a tyrannosaurus rex was running after me(it was so hard to run) but i ran up to the door that unlocks to the upstairs attic i guess??? and when i looked back the t-rex was gone so i just went through the door, and then somehow the purple guy that i threw out is also in the room too, so after saying hello to my parents and siblings i was getting chased by a dog and a cat and then i got knocked out.
​
# Chapter 2-Dinosaur Minecraft Wizard
I woke up on a flying carpet with a girl by me, and as i was looking around i saw hundreds of dinosaurs(and the place was kinda minecraft like too) and then she said that we needed to go meet a wizard inside a giant tree which we did but then the wizard sent me to a different place via a portal.

# Chapter 3-The Scorpion Invasion
I woked up to being a dude in black tactical armor and having weapons with a squad
so i followed them to this hole which we all jumped in and it had a BUNCH of stuff coming out of the ground when we touched it, a gigantic scorpion came out from the ground and we all ran to get out of the hole the dudes who were already out of the hole started firing at the scorpions until i was killed by one...BUT LUCKILY I PROJECTED MYSELF INTO ONE OF MY SQUAD MEMBERS and i became him and we were saved.

So I had a dream about "Area 51"
The setting was pretty weird. It was an open grassland, with mountains on one side, my school on another, and somehow Times Square. On this grassland there was a light grey staircase and some kind of platform with a girth going all the way to the floor. I guess that was called "Area 51."
I was just there, at my school, when I got a text on Instagram, named just "wood." She told me to get over to where she was and hold her phone in case she died. So I ran over to the line in front of the staircase, facing Times Square, bouncing on the other people while going there. And there she was. I got her phone, which looked like one of those dumbphones with a whole keyboard on it, on the back. So I put it on a table in the Times Square, ran back to her, and told her I wasn't going on.
Pretty soon, there was a voice counting down until the race to the top, and it seemed like a whole lot of people died, wood included. Gradually, the deaths slowed down, and water had been dispensed down the stairway, killing people. I also saw Spike from New Super Mario Bros Wii go on the stairway, and die. All that time, there had been bright yellow bubbles showing the names of the people that died; I was anxiously waiting for Spike's name to show up.
Eventually, the last person on the stairway died, and my other friend Matthew, who also didn't go on the slide (presumably because he owned it) took me to the platform's middle part (which was on the grass) and just flattened it down to reveal two chimneys, which may have been the things responsible for all those deaths, and it was not Area 51 at all. Finally, I woke up.

Nightmare that terrified me and i need to know what it could possibly mean
Hi, so I was hoping someone could help me interpret this nightmare I had last night that's been bothering me all day. So some backstory, I'm a 19-year-old woman and I recently moved losing all my jewelry in the process, some very sentimental to me, and I've been really upset about it for a while. Okay so the dream... the part that's been bothering me is when I was walking home from like a marketplace that sold a bunch of weird items like jewelry, and this guy comes up to me as I'm walking down the street leaving telling me someone else is selling a necklace I was possibly looking for. So I asked if I could see it and the seller of the necklace (another guy) comes over with it so i can look. the pendant looked very similar but not completely, there was something different about the back of the pendant, so I decline and say its not what I'm looking for. The seller says okay that's fine, but do you mind if i sway with you (like dancing sway). and i was extremely confused and said ya ig so, so he comes up to me and is like dancing with me for a few seconds. After that weird swaying moment he starts to walk away, but i yell at him to hold up because i think maybe i should buy the necklace and get whats wrong with it fixed. So i walk with him on the street (its dark, like night time) and he tells me he'll see it for $13. I tell him I'm game and ill grab the money at the bus stop since i need to take the bus home. We get to the bus stop and now its suddenly evening and the sun is somewhat still out, but i get my wallet out to pay cash. Im trying to give him the $13 dollars but i only have a 10 dollar bill and an 8 dollar bill, i ask if he can break the 8 says he can and hands me the necklace. But he doesn't leave, He then asks me if I would like to go hangout with him and his friends, I must seem hesitant because he tells me he's known them forever and it wont be a big deal. Im still obviously hesitant about it and tell him no that's okay i don't want anything to happen to me, but he just says no come on you should come. I was backed up into a metal fence and he was towing over me when he said this. It wouldn't be that big of a deal ig but it was the look on the guys face that scared the living shit out of me. I looked at his eyes and i knew that if i didn't go with him, he was going to really hurt me and if i did go with him that he was going to kill me. And not like a quick kill, but like make it last a long time kind of kill me, my heart was beating so fast i could feel it against the fence, I have never been more terrified in my life. next thing i see, two old-style chimneys with smoke coming out and then i wake up. And the weird thing is , this dream didn't feel like a dream, it felt so real and i genuinley thought i was going to die if i didn't wake up. I also still remember the guys face, and i don't think ill ever get that look in his eyes out of my head for a very long time. It would help me out a lot is someone could maybe tell me what this possibly means, its been bugging me all day and I'm afraid to go out for the weekend. Thank you for reading, sorry if its a jumbled mess.

The skinning
This dream was kinda recent like a year or two ago, I was in like a log cabin of some sort. The setting was during slavery times Idk why my dream took me there but all I remember is turning and looking at the fire in the chimney and a girl was sitting there burning. I was worried I started asking what’s going on and without really realizing there were these two beings there the whole time.
They had suits on and one was standing up and one was sitting down they were very tall. All I remember is me asking them “what’s going on what are you doing?”
The perspective just went dramatic and it’s like it was zooming in on his face as he slowly look up and said “the skinning”.
I really want to illustrate how they looked to you all I remember fine detail
They had the old mob boss like suits with the lines on them. All black.
They were white men but they’re skin looked black like it was burnt. They looked like a mix of Freddy Kruger and Jeepers Creepers. It was disturbing asf and kinda got me angry. Made me think about all the slave clothing and things that were made out of dead colored people.
Anyways that’s the skinning, if anyone had any dream similar to this or seen this entities feel free to respond.

V day Dream kinda Romantic
I went to this grocery store with my mother. I lost her and so I help up the poor cashier till later somehow. I ate half my apple but he scanned it anyways. I paid in cash.
At some point he gets shocked and this power surges through him and he's like possessed. He's trying to fight. Tons of people are outside. People are frantic and running away. I'm hauling butt and I seem to be the main target. I jump over fences on roofs etc.
But at some point I end up kissing him. It takes out whatever possesses him. We find ourselves in a short hallway that we thought was private until a dude slips in to go through a tiny front door. He passes by. I'm making out with the dude again. Suddenly it shows my eye. Its blue and funky cartoony abstract. He points it out. We look very bummed out. Somehow he took the powers back.
The scenes changed I'm running around outside constantly. More people are outside. They seem willing to fight. Perhaps they knew I was the main target. There's rows of people standing about. Some still run and hide. I end up in this neighborhood. These buildings shaped lime chimneys with a gold brown ombre going on. I slip into a restaurant. Suddenly realized I'm a blonde woman in this dream. The guy "possessed" walks in. He found me. But he's not acting bad. He seems normal. I wake up.
