horrible dream.

i went to sleep at 11:30ish. i woke up, 12:45, after having lived five whole fucking years of my life.

i don’t even remember what i did at the start of the dream, because it was five years ago.

i went through school, i graduated. with a scholarship. i deferred it and moved out two weeks later with three of my friends, one of which i do not expect to have in my future. all in june 2020

i had a boyfriend, we got together january 2020. i’ve known him for a while, we’re in talking stage right now.

i went to college in 2021 for nursing. i dropped out because i hated it, and held a job at a strip club as a waitress.

i did so much. i voted in the 2023 election. one of my friends died in a car accident. i had a dog, named riley. and my roommate had a ferret named pearl.

it ended in august 2024, was a wednesday but the date isn’t in my head. i came home and found 4 year long boyfriend banging my roommate. i walked in and saw them, it was a fight and they insisted it was “friendly” and “okay because it wasn’t romantic”. i remember every single second of that conversation. i was screaming at the top of my lungs and so were they. i eventually got mad enough to leave, i slammed the door behind me and the hallway started looking off. i figured it was the tears welling my eyes making my vision all wonky so i shut my eyes really tight. i opened them, and there i was in the bedroom of the house i moved out of 5 years earlier.

i lived 5 years into the future in an hour. i woke up and i don’t know who i am anymore. i don’t have the same experiences that built me. i don’t have any motivation. i just DID everything i dot want to do it again.

i don’t know if this is exactly the place to write this. but i’m so disheartened and grieving and i’m terrified.

Dated an ugly red haired man and cheated on him with my current boyfriend

There is a TL;DR at the end so if you don’t want to read, and

I was sitting in a school courtyard, hugging and kissing my current boyfriend, Sandy. From my side, there is a guy whining that I never hug him. The guy has red hair and freckles and honestly he looks ugly but I assume me and my current boyfriend broke up in dream but we still were attracted to each other even though I was dating someone new. In the dream I wanted to break up with the red head man, who I have never met before in my life, but I felt guilty about potentially using him so I didn’t want to break it off yet. I did not like him more than pity him though. I will call the red head, Steve.
The bell rings and the boys leave, while two of my girl friends walk me to my class. I care deeply for both, there is none of the red head “I only pity you” stuff going on with my friends. However, I rarely talk to one because she might be depressed and doesn’t answer the phone, we will call her, Sofia, while the other is my best friend, Usagi (She loves Sailor Moon). As we walk to class, the sky goes dark with clouds and as the rain falls, lightning nearly strikes us. We run to the furthest building possible, me carrying Sofia at one point while she says she’s going to vomit. The lightning nearly strikes four times before we make it to a building with cover. I keep carrying Sofia and she throws up on my back. I’m annoyed but I understand. Usagi promises to care for her on their way to class and both leave.
When I go to class, I ask for a spare sweater or jacket since my shirt is nasty. It smells awful for obvious reasons. My friend, Aaron, offers up his sweatshirt and I take it going to the bathroom. It’s a girls bathroom but it appears both men and women are inside studying French. I studied French in high school and I am afraid I can’t speak well so naturally they speak it better than me. I then lose my phone somehow while changing out of my shirt. I try to find it when an old man begins cleaning the faucet and when I smile commending him for his work, he smiles back.
I then just end up in a car in a parking lot with Sandy, my real boyfriend. I don’t remember what happened except I ended up being chased by a bull and had to find my way back inside even though I don’t remember why I got out in the first place. I can’t remember anything else so I think it ended there.

TL;DR
• Two boyfriends, one I am dating in real life, one that is ugly and doesn’t exist but apparently I’m cheating on him with my real boyfriend
• Two friends, one needs to be carried and throws up when I carry her
• Lightning storm
• I get chased by a bull
• Lose my phone while changing shirts

Donald Trump was assassinated

So.. last night I had a dream that upon waking up, I heard my parents watching TV together really loudly. I walked into the living room and it was being reported that Donald Trump was assassinated while boarding a boat or something. Like.. shot in the head by a sniper I think?

I somehow thought it was some sick lie and looked it up and saw that his date of death was already updated online and everything. I started crying.. Not out of sadness but because of how terrified I was. I was scared of the lack of security and how the country was going to handle it. I knew there was going to be a divide, angry people, etc. I looked on instagram and saw people CELEBRATING and it made me angry. I mean there was videos of people drinking, singing, etc. I knew there was going to be people happy that it happened, but I was disgusted because I would never celebrate anyone’s death honestly.. Especially the president since that means our country would be vulnerable.

Also, a lot of people were thinking that we would have another election immediately . I had to keep telling ppl on instagram that Pence would become president rather than that.

Then I woke up glad it wasn’t real lol. It makes me wonder what would actually happen

Is he really my soulmate?

IT'S GONNA BE LONG BUT PLEASE JUST READ, I NEED HELP DESPERATELY

Backstory : I'm a 18 F, I've been what you'd call a psychic since a child, I dream of things and they happen the next day clearly, I predicted Corona on December 2019 without knowing anything about it. I also have crazy synchronicities that If I wasn't experiencing myself I'd think it's bs. Before someone dies I dream of it, I can easily connect with the dead, and this might sound crazy but bare with me please, I always felt a connection to the stars and other planets and can easily astral project to certain stars (That's where I feel home is)

Since I was a child I had a celebrity "crush" let's call him X and over the years it's like it turned to love, but it was too heavy on me and too passionate, so I started distracting myself from it. But I always used to tell myself "looking at him feels like looking into a mirror". I haven't thought of him in almost couple of years cause I was dating someone, but in one dream, X showed up, and we were at a beach kissing, then we were put in a coffee shop and I told him "so u aren't gay??" (because I genuinely thought he was gay) and he was laughing so beautifully and told me noo I can like women too and I remember telling him "I'm gonna go thank God and Jesus for this". But the last thing I saw in that dream was the green in his eyes, it was too vibrant to be just a dream, It looked soooo much more intense than irl. I thought nothing of it, and still didn't want to think of him, à month after that he showed up again, i dreamt he was showing me the night sky and pointing to a star, then he wrapped his arms around me and I felt like I was in a universe made of love. in the dream I remember seeing 6 pairs of the number "11"!! And I woke up so weirded out, could X really be my soulmate? So. when I woke up I checked IG and first post said clearly "HE IS YOUR SOULMATE" by then. I was like ok something is definitely going on, two days after that, I dreamt I was setting him up on dating with other ppl and felt so sad to do it, but then he came up to me, and wrapped his arms around me again and told me only wanted me and not them. I woke up and checked my clock, it was 11:11am

I keep getting signs every where that X is my soulmate but it's like I can't Beleive it cause he's a celebrity. I also asked my spirit if he's my soulmate or X is just an embodiment for my actual soulmate, but I feel in my heart that X is, not someone else. But what if I'm being delusional?

IT'S GONNA BE LONG BUT PLEASE JUST READ, I NEED HELP DESPERATELY

Had a dream when I was 10 with a girl I didn’t know in it. We’re dating now.

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible, I have ADHD and my stories turn into ramblings most of the time.

Anyways.

When I was about 10 or so, I had this dream where me and this random girl were playing and just having fun doing kid stuff. Suddenly I got the urge to tell her “this is a dream, and I can leave whenever I want to. Isn’t that cool?”

She replied with something like “I know.”

So I said “watch this” and in the dream, I closed my eyes and opened them and I was awake (in real life).

Didn’t think much of it.

Come this past June, I was in a town about 4 hours from the one I live in, getting my drivers license photo and all that done since COVID restrictions took them out of my town.

I walked out of the DMV there, and a girl is walking her dog. The dog peed on my moms car door, and she apologized.

We talked for a bit and she asked me for my Snapchat so we could talk some more, which was a first for me since I’m a solid 3/10.

Flash forward a few days later, we’ve been talking, we like each other, decide to hang out in person. She makes the drive up to my town to spend the night.

We spent most of the night just talking about random childhood stories, and I went a grabbed my 3rd grade school picture. Then she told me she had a dream when she was younger about how she was hanging out with a boy, then he said “this is a dream” and left.

She pointed out how younger me looked almost like the kid she had a dream about those years ago.

Well I told her my story of the similar incident, and we concluded we were destined to meet.

I think we both are in agreement that it’s just a scary coincidence, but we both also feel very twilight-zone-y about it now and we aren’t sure if it is a coincidence or some weird fate stuff.

Life is weird, kiddos.

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible, I have ADHD and my stories turn into ramblings most of the time.
