Dreamt of endless verbal abuse and taking my own life

I just woke up from a horrible dream. I dreamt that I was still living with my foster parents but it was the worst time of my life.

I was constantly berated, constantly yelled at, critiqued, threatened and harrased. They threatened me to submitted to a psyche ward. Something they have actually threatened me with irl

They threatened to take my things, something that they alao did irlBut this berating was constant,day in, day out, every day, for every little thing I did.

I didn't go to school one day, and they called me pathetic. I cut my hair short and preferred wearing black. They called me mentally ill and weird.

Eventually I was so distressed that I smashed a plate and decided to slit my wrists while we had an afternoon snack. And it wasn't the self harming way, it was the fatal way.

They screamed and berated me once more as I stood up and left the house, dripping blood and almost passing out

Crazy stuff

My dream made up a word I’ve never heard, but apparently that word is real

So for context, this dream took place on a road that I take almost daily on my way to work. I don’t know anyone who lives on this road, and never have. The road is residential.

I was driving back home, when my GPS said “animal on road reported ahead”. (Irl the app I use does give reports, but never one saying animal on road). I glanced at it real quick to see about how far away this animal was, and when I looked back up I saw this little black dog. Dog was a black mutt, about the size of a shih tzu (if important, my grandmother recently adopted a mostly black shih tzu).

In the dream I recognized the dog and who owned the dog, so I pulled over on the recently added shoulder of the road, picked up the dog, and gave the person a call. When I answered saying “hey your dog was on the road but I have him now” the voice of a slightly older lady (I would guess mid sixties cause I did see the woman later in the dream) said “no! He’s an outdoor dog, ugh, I’ll come get him, but don’t do this again”

I turned around my car and pulled up in front of a house that irl doesn’t exist on that road. And gave the dog to her. That’s when my head kept saying “Ohari”, a word that I’ve never heard before. This woman had a short haircut that stood straight up, and was wearing a pantsuit, and was small framed. That’s when some family started showing up and making basic small talk with this woman named Ohari. I wasn’t spoken to much by family here.

I handed the dog over, and she held him in a position that was slightly reclined, belly up, and the dogs tail was wagging like mad, hitting both herself and me, and made my mom burst into a small giggling fit cause of how cute and funny it was

My head kept saying “Ohari” loudly and repeatedly, and it was obvious it was my head and not someone talking. It said it so much that I hit up google before here and apparently Ohari is a name, and only a guys name, that means “cheating, swindle, spoof, deception”

Help please? This is bothering me big time because of how many times the name “Ohari” was repeated in my head

can someone tell me what this dream means?

the other night i had a dream that we were in my eighth grade social studies class. there was a boy named jackie, who sat next to me. he was tall, black, had a sort of box haircut, and was very popular and well liked. i didnt know him all that well, but we werent srangers. i never really payed attention to him. anyway, we were presenting an assignment where we had different objects in a bag and we told a story with the objects. our principal was in the room recording all our projects so he could post the best one. our teacher called on jackie to go next. he goes up to the front of the room and says, "my story is about the... wait a minute i think i left something in my desk." he goes back to his desk, PULLS OUT A GUN, goes back to the front of the room, points the gun at his temple, and pulls the trigger. everyone in our class was screaming. i vividly remember seeing his body on the ground covered in blood, with parts of him on the teacher's desk. the video of jackie's project got leaked and someone posted it to some hotline website.

i don't know anyone named jackie, and his face doesnt look familiar at all. i really wanna know who "jackie" is supposed to be, but im lost. can someone please tell me what this dream means?

Explain my dream please

I had a dream where I woke up from bed at went into the living room. I sat down and thought about what I wanted to do that day and decided to cut my hair. I got up, was all of a sudden extremely paranoid, and saw two out of the four burners on the stove turned on. I turned them off thinking dad left them on, and got a small knife. I had a pumpkin on the counter that was for some reason halfway falling off, and tried to run to my sister. I couldn't, and landed on the couch. Then I saw one pumpkin on my dad's girlfriends' dresser, and one on the bed. The one on the bed had its candle inside, and a piece of paper getting lit from the candle. I tried to yell for my sister, but I couldn't speak. It was just a small straining whisper. I called 911 and told them there was "a fire in the backroom of the trailer at (my address). " and I woke up.

Dream about spider, Billie Eilish and my dad.

I had a dream about Billie Eilish with a spider coming out of her mouth, similar to her music video You Should See Me In A Crown (I used to like her music, but now I dislike it because she references Satan a lot). While I saw the spider in her mouth, my father came from behind and put a tarantula on my naked back. I sat very still and only felt like it tickled me lightly. Later on I dreamed that I kept changing my hair and cutting it shorter and then growing it longer, changing its colour and it was actually quite fun.

My interpretation is that its based on an argument I had with my dad the previous day where he would offer me help concerning finding a job, but it would be on his terms and he would be very domineering and controlling, telling me I'm lazy if I don't apply to jobs I obviously dislike or feel unqualified for. He also forcefully told me to cut my hair shorter but I refused (I am male by the way). This argument left me feeling really downcast and sad for a long time. So it may just be based on that.

I also have a fear of spiders, they make me feel uncomfortable.

If anyone wants to add any other interpretation, please feel free to do so.
