Apple of eden
I had a very odd dream that I don’t remember a lot of, but what I can recall was very vivid. The dream began as me bing in my regular life, but I found a packet of red pills(going along with the whole red pill blue pill ordeal) and I took one. The next thing I remember is waking up in some sort of cocoon in this massive jungle/forest. I remember feeling as if I was a demon, because I had claws and my right arm(only my right arm) was very scaly, like thick armored scales, and ripped with muscle. My arm felt very tight. I woke up with a spear in my left hand and an apple in my right. I stepped out of the cocoon onto a massive tree limb high in the jungle, and stabbed a creature on the limb in front of me as I ate the apple. All I remember after that is time seemingly flying forward, to me and my irl best friend hanging out in an apartment, me still having the one ripped arm just without the scales like I had ripped them off. We talked, although I don’t remember what was said, but it felt eerie. The last thing I remember is walking into the other room and seeing the same pills in the same spot they were when the dream started. Idk what to make of any of that but it felt very bizarre.

The scariest, most vivid nightmare I can remember, happened about 15 years ago. Things were turbulent in my life, failing marriage, with all the "fun" stuff that brings along.
It's dawn, I look to the direction of the rising sun.
A long ridgeline of steep mountains about 1,000 feet high extends along the near horizon. I'm in a state of dread, I know something very bad is coming. As my worry grows, out of the sky come rapidly falling meteorites. They slam into the ridgeline, leaving cocoons in their wake.
The cocoons crack open immediately, depositing angry creatures bounding chimpanzee-like down the gullies. They're of superhuman, simian strength, with only one aim, to bring havoc down upon me and mine. I know that this experience will end only one way, in my utter annihilation.
The nightmare ends there it occurred only once. I remember it like it happened last night. It left a lasting impression on me, filled me with dread and unease for weeks.

Had a dream about a female guide/ mentor. I need help figuring it out.
It was in a quiet place, which I could not recognize with my sight or intuition, but I felt it was part of some kind of memory? I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but it was as if I was many years older than I am, and was looking at my self from the past. Extremely nostalgic
I was standing on the sidewalk of a city (similar to Paris). On the other side of the street there was a bench and next to it a lamp, which illuminated everything with an intense orange/yellow color.
I was with someone, a woman my age, maybe five years older. She had a fair complexion and beautiful, delicate features. Her black hair was very straight, barely reaching her shoulders. With her eyes closed she tilted her head to the right and let the intense orange light caress her face. She was breathing softly.
I heard a multitude of different sounds as I watched her: ocean waves and rain, wind, whispers, cars passing by, and voices full of melody. Something in me was trying to understand who it was, but at no point did I succeed. While my eyes continued to admire her, I began to notice how a kaleidoscope of blue, yellow orange tones enveloped us both, like some sort of silk cocoon. She took the colors in her arms and covered me with them, then I felt the softness of her hug, i closed my eyes and let continue whatever she was trying to do. I had left my life in her hands right at that moment.
Then we were in a blue room. I can't define if it was a bedroom or a living room, I remember seeing the edge of a bed, a mirror, lamps and sofas. She was sitting behind me, I was leaning on her, my head resting on her shoulder as she took strands of my hair and played with them. We talked about my life, the past, the present and fear, and many other things, I wish I knew what they were, but I only have the notion and the feeling of having received very important advice.
From one moment to another she was older than me, maybe ten or twenty years, I saw her as some kind of confidant. She was sitting on a white chair, embroidered in gold thread. The room hadn't changed except for that detail. I was sitting at her feet, legs were crossed, and I was playing with my fingers. She was combing my hair, taking small strands and brushing carefully as she spoke. I remember looking down seeing myself wrapped in a blue tunic with a very soft texture, the fabric falling gracefully. I also noticed how the way she hair she had already brushed falling delicately over my shoulders. I kept playing with my fingers while I listened to her. Suddenly she called me and put on my hands a strand of black hair (weird, because my hair is brown). "Look at this," he said. Each hair was very thick, I even started to think it wasn't mine. Suddenly I saw a white hair and felt some sort of surprise? Like, it was so bright against all that black hair, I don't even understand.
The woman said some things I don’t remember and pulled that white hair out, it made me sad. Then I woke up and now I can't stop thinking about it.
​
Oh, I think it's also important to say that everything looked like an impressionist painting. It's one of the few times that i'm actually able to see someone's face in a dream, and also one of the few times where i see such vivid colors

Alice and the wonderland
So when I was little I had a nightmare that the caterpillar and cat from Alice and the wonderland fused and trapped all my friends in cocoons. It was chasing me for so long it almost got me when I woke up. I honestly don’t know how I remembered this dream.

Lava and kid dying ( I don’t remember all the details but in my head it was a long dream and that’s why I’m putting the flair)
I was in art class same as always and I remember that I was really thirsty I go out to get water and come back. The class had to go out to the the Other class to get something so we start walking and we see this lava. It almost looks like Minecraft Lava. And this one black kid got pushed in it. There were people surrounding it in white suits almost like Quarantine or hazmat suits.He got punched by the principal or a higher up (maybe a teacher?) I believe and it was multiple times he was really burned, he had this cocoon of stuff? (It was white and soft cause One of the hazmat guys ripped it away) Around him. The dream ended by zooming in to the eye of the person (it was a girl) in the white suits and in there eye you could see the black kids eye fall out.
