What are driving dreams about?

I had a dream where I was at a lake that I had never seen. It wasn't the weirdest dream that I had ever had, but it stuck in my memory for whatever reason.

About a year later I'm driving past this lake and it seems very familiar. I remembered the dream and realize that it is the exact same lake. It was not just very similar I knew that it was the exact same lake I saw In my dream a year earlier.

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

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.

Dreamt I was at my old job gathering trash when a tall man in robes came around. I joked around, being my friendly self. I make a mention of death, and he responds “You will experience a death at 11”

This has shaken me. My dad works driving a bus, and I don’t think he’s gotten enough sleep last night!!

I had a good friend who died last year on October 17th. She dated one of my good friends and as such we grew close. Important Characters are Me, my friend Kyle, my friend Roy, my deceased friend Rose, and another friend Alisha.The nightmare is as follows.

It started with me, my siblings, and my mom packing up her car. We were seemingly leaving and trying to do so in a hurry. But I got the impression we took to long, and when we began to pull out of the driveway we hit my friend Kyle's car as he was trying to pull into the carport. We canceled our plans to leave and me and Kyle decided to drive to what I think was a high-school reunion.

We arrived at the event, and it was almost like a chapel/gym hybrid with large windows towards the front of the room. I saw most of the people that I went to high school with conversing and interacting with each other. I saw my friend Roy who was our senior class president cutting up pineapple and putting it into a drink. He said he didn't have enough pineapple and me and my friends laughed at him for it. Now the nightmare/dream starts.

I walked outside for some fresh air, and when I came back I saw my friend Rose, who is dead, and my friend Alisha who is alive. They both looked like spirits however. I asked Rose how I could see her, and asked if I was going to die soon. She said yes I was going to die, she started becoming more solid. I asked her if she could as God of I could live longer. She said that she would ask but its going to happen anyway. She started getting more solid, so I left the room to try and escape my death.

As I walked into the foyer to escape, a blonde skinny teenager came in. He pulled out a gun, and I was shot with either lightning, or the gun. I don't know which but I felt myself dying. I was then teleported to a city block where I saw a newspaper on the road. I picked it up and it had a picture of me, saying I died on October 17th. The day was Friday. I woke up and wrote the dream my journal quickly. I then went back to sleep, and had a dream where me and rose went to Wendy's just like we used too when she was alive. I ordered her food and we hung out.

That was the end of it, and it's not as scary as some experience. But I woke up sweating and scared. Thanks for listening.

(19F) I had this dream where I'm being criticized for praising Jesus. A group of women (4-5) chased me down with a cordless drill. The main chick wanted a photo of my face so I ran trying to cover it. (Not sure if they were atheists, feminists or what) but in the house I was trying to get out the window because they tried breaking in and eventually made it inside the house. I ran out the window and got into my car and drove off. They followed behind. Shortly after, I went into a shopping center and they caught me. They had me pinned down. Then, with the cordless drill, the lady smirked as she drilled screws into the back of my neck. The goal was so that I couldn't turn my head. Also, one of them put a napkin up to my face, so I would lose conscious. My eyesight was getting blurry, and I tried to get up but was in too much pain.
