What are possible meanings for dreams of dolls?
A doll in a dream can poignantly symbolize feeling like someone’s plaything, especially if you dream you are the doll, or have recurring dreams about a scary doll. Dolls are played with and appreciated mostly for their appearance, and people can be played with and appreciated only for their appearance.
A doll is associated with feeling put on display and having your every move manipulated.
The symbolism of a doll can connect with its being a carbon copy, and that can connect with the question of whether to run with the herd or take the road less traveled. In this sense, a doll in a dream can symbolize that your personal identity isn’t filled out. The job isn’t finished. Or you feel like just another pretty face.
Dolls can symbolize feminine ideals and feelings about trying to live up to them—especially true of dreams featuring Barbie Dolls and other pageant dolls.
A woman dreams about a doll wearing a skirt and high heels, but she loses its heels, and after searching, decides the doll looks fine without them. This mirrors her feelings about having to wear heels to work and recent thoughts related to wanting to wear something more comfortable. She’s tired of being uncomfortable just to conform to a norm. The doll in the dream is a prop to help tell the story.
Playing with a doll can be associated with immaturity. Or, like a toy, it can refer to childhood, and from there the possibilities are wide open. See: Toys
A talking doll can symbolize something about yourself projected onto it, such as a personality trait or feeling. Colors the doll is dressed in, and the color of its skin and hair, can paint a picture of your emotions. See: Emotions
Combing a doll’s hair can symbolize thoughts brewing in your head, especially thoughts related to intrigue.

My Moms Dream
So my mom dreamt of me sitting in my Room bawling and holding a Doll with a bullet hole through one of its eyes and when she tried approaching me I apparently shouted at her to shut up on repeat without even looking at her.
Do any of you guys have an idea about what that kinda dream could mean?

I'm terrified. Please help me.
I was going to sleep today but i was having a having a hard time, which is unusual for me, as i tend to sleep fast. But when i actually slept, i instantly regretted it.
For a bit of context, i share a room with my sister and our beds are parallel to each other. In the nightmare, it was like an out of body experience, except i had no control over it. And i was just swinging near to the lightbulb left and right. I could see my sister staring at me with an expression i will never forget. It was liks she was laughing at me, but with a distorted face and eyes that felt like someone painted them over her face. Alongside her there was a humansized doll that beared the same distorted expresssion as my sister. Part of it's face was missing and it had red paint spilled all over it, while the body was black. After a while my vision just fades to black and i wake up at my living room. Except the damn living room, is all distorted and glitched, AND I WAS CONSCIOUS! I was completely aware of what, where and when i was. Everything i touched just turned into sand and disappeared. In the sofa, a man was sitting there alongside the doll. I tried approaching them, but they didn't answer. They just looked at me. This time, however, there was cotton leaking from the hole in the doll's face. When i noticed it, i had a vision of me and my sister's room. Next to my bed is a table where my water bottle is. I tried spillin it over me but the moment i grabbed it i j st lost all strength. After that, i was back to the living room with those two. This time, i tried touching the doll to see what happened. But the more my hand reached dor it, the more strength i felt being drained from me. I managed ro touch a bit of it's cotton. Then, i was blownback by an immense force and just completely lost all strength and just lied there on the ground. The mam and the doll approached me. The hole on the doll's face was missing and the paint was now a bright green with some light blue. The doll then said, and i quote, "When the end comes, i will protect you". I woke up shortly after and according to my sister i was screaming like a madman. This happened about 1 hour ago and i still don't get it. I am scared to move. I am scared to sleep. I am getting startled by the smallest of noises. Help.

Doll mother doll father or something
I dreamt I was in a bedroom with my girlfriend we were both laying on our sides (she was left I was right), on each side of the bed there was a nightstand with a lamp. In this dream my girlfriend and I each had a doll made of wax and fur, they were waiting in the living room. My doll was speaking to me and told me to turn off the light so he could come in and so I did. My girlfriend was asleep however so she did not turn off hers.
As my doll was coming in he started telling me a story, something about my parents being people mothers and people fathers and that we were doll mother and doll father. He began climbing up the bed and he told me I must not look at him until he is ready to sleep, I felt him on my back and I freaked out so I decided to grab him with my right arm. Right as my hand was about to connect I woke up.
The funny thing is I woke up in the exact position I was in during my dream.

Horrible Dream About Teeth Falling Out - Help?
It was Halloween and the dream. I was just out for a night time walk and tge moon was full. It was huge too. Took up way more of the sky than it should. And I found a mask on the ground, a white mask. I don't really remember much details about the masks, just that it had these painted red lips on it. It looked vaguely like the face of a china doll.
I picked it up and I ran over to this girl with long blonde hair and I asked if the mask belongs to her. She said she had no idea who it belongs to that she thought the mask meant something bad. Like there was someone here who was supposed to be here.
The girl was carrying a black pillow case that I think was full of candy or something. Anyway, we were walking around trying to see who the mask belongs to and coming up blank. There was a boy with a buzz cut with us as well. I think we were part of some kind of unisex Scout Troop.
Anyway we walked by this big white house and I somehow get separated from both of them. And then I feel something in my mouth and it's my retainer. I have not needed to wear a retainer for several years. For some reason it's really uncomfortable so I try to take it out by poking at it with my tongue.
My retainer pops out and to my horror take several of the teeth on the bottom row of my mouth with it. I freak the fuck out and I try to shove them back into place repeatedly. But then one of them starts falling apart in my hands and I'm just standing there with a bunch of bloody teeth in my hands trying to frantically jam them back into the little teeth holes that they got yanked out of.
Some of them stay in place and for that I'm grateful. But my mouth really hurts and there's blood everywhere. Then the blonde girl from earlier walks by and she says to me, "Hey what's wro - OH MY GOD!" And start screaming when she sees in my hands and the blood running down my chin. I'm babbling and I'm trying to explain what happened and say that I need to get to a doctor but then all of my talking ends up pulling out the teeth that I was able to put back in. And my head is spinning my mind is racing and I'm just thinking to myself, "It's not happening, it's not happening, it's not happening this is too horrible" and then I woke up.
It was Halloween and the dream. I was just out for a night time walk and tge moon was full. It was huge too. Took up way more of the sky than it should. And I...

Is it weird that I really want to have a nightmare?
(13M)
I haven't had a nightmare in about 7 years. It was about these killer dolls and they were attacking my entire family.
Well since I haven't had a nightmare in so long, I really really so desperately want to experience one again. I guess you could say I'm lucky that I don't have to experience fear but I haven't felt it in such a long time it's like I've forgotten what it's like.
Curiosity Killed The Cat. I feel as If im a bit too curious for my own good 😅
