What are clown dreams about?

I had a dream that I walked past someone from my old HS who I started to talk to, he wasn't someone I was friends with or knew that well, he was a bit of a clown and considered kind of annoying by some people. Anyways he started talking about how I got an abortion. In the dream I knew what he was talking about, I felt as though I had gotten an abortion when I was younger and hadn't told my parents. I felt quite defensive and I think I told him I hadn't, but deep down I remembered that I had. I started to think to myself that it wasn't fair, that I'd slept with only this one guy I didn't even like once and knowing my luck it'd gotten me pregnant and I was really young and needed to get an abortion. I think I remembered this event as happening when I was maybe 18=19. Wierd. Does anyone know what it could mean? I've never had an abortion or even sex.

I had a pretty funny dream recently.

I was in this interesting building which seemed to be a classic japanese hotel with lots of rooms, laminate flooring and this weird unfamiliar-yet-familiar feeling to it.

I was there with my dad and some distant relatives. We were walking through the corridors and after a while we decided to take a break from walking. We sat down next to a door under a large skylight.

We were just sitting there, when suddenly the door opened and a little girl in a ballerina dress and clown makeup (not the creepy kind, more like [this](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf10d43c9de06a4a3/bltc411ba780f586e0a/5dc53c54620f60040448a644/Rimmel_Blog_Halloween_Clown_Makeup_header.jpg?auto=webp)) stepped out. She looked at us for a moment, then started spinning around. She spun and spun in a weird, hypnotic and "springy" way. As she did her last turn and stopped, she suddenly had a moustache.

Seeing this, I had to laugh so hard that I woke myself up. Never had anything like this before but 10/10 would dream again.

Hey, looking for some opinions if possible please.
So I've suffered with some episodes with sleep paralysis over the last ten years, but the most recent one was about 3 years ago and I managed to snap myself out of it. Dressing gown was a creepy clown, I don't get the black figures or demons, usually something in my room morphs and I'm paralysed.

I also sometimes wake myself up crying or physically shouting out and it's almost like I'm forcing it out of my dream into reality. These are quite rare.

Anyways I now get this thing where I fall asleep but I start to become really scared about something....usually an idea that something is wrong, and I fight to wake myself up, I can usually open my eyes and move to sit up, but then I fall back into it. Sometimes I think I've made it out of it, but I'm actually still dreaming and I can feel dream me wrenching myself out the bed only to start to feel it's not real in an awful I'm stuck way. As it goes on, the fear increases because I'm aware I'm not able to flee and I'm usually aware I can't wake up at this point, and whatever I think is coming for me (sometimes it's a feeling, last time it was a neighbour coming through the wall The Frighteners style) and this can last about 5/6 episodes before I'm either finally sat up or I've passed out from exhaustion.

Any ideas what this is about or similar experiences please

So I had a strange dream last night where my husband and I were going to stay at this hotel we’ve never been to (reason unknown) so we sprung for one of the bigger rooms. We got there and it was super sketchy. All kinda stained that faint yellow like it was old. As we were walking through the lobby there were TONS of clowns. Just clowns EVERYWHERE. My husband seemed to have not even noticed. We get into the room and it is huge! It has one giant bed, a smaller bed, and many other soft surfaces - such as chairs, couches, etc. My husband actually came in and was just hot and bothered and wanting to do all sorts of stuff just all over the room (details spared). So of course I was onboard, but as I looked around it just kept getting worse. There was this old tv and VCR with these unmarked tapes and I just KNEW there was nothing good on them. But I just didn’t seem to care because I was just so dedicated to having sex.

I woke up almost feeling dirty. Any thoughts?

Felt kinda good tho lmao.

Currently writing this in my dream journal. Apart from that. Best dream I had because of the bird's-eye view of the whole place it took in. Atop of an extinct volcano with Gothic buildings, full of busy people and a school built on top of the crater. My house was the only thing haunted there really. I should probably stop watching anime tho because I'm pretty sure it was just anime girls walking in the city.
