Eel Dream
I had a strange dream, a few nights ago. I dreamed I was underwater and a big bubble started to form around me.
I was still underwater it wasn't an air bubble. Then these big black eels started to swim in and enter my body thru my mouth. So many the water was black inside the bubble. I couldn't breathe and I couldn't wake up. They just kept coming. Then everything was black. I 'woke up' in the dream on a floor in a narrow room. I was in so much pain because I was filled with eels. I could see them moving around in my body. I could only gasp. I still didn't wake up. All these small holes began to open on my skin, and the eels started swimming out of my body. I started to feel so relieved and I could breathe again. A person was standing in the narrow room I didn't see before. She said "you passed", and then I woke up.

An eel in my dream wrapped itself around me to protect me.
A little while ago, I had a dream in which I was in the ocean diving (in a group). A bunch of sharks were being relatively aggressive towards me and there were many of them. A long moray eel (maybe a honeycomb moray) wrapped itself around my body and guarded me from the sea life. The sharks were still interested in me, I think. There were others things that happened in this dream, but this stands out to me. Does anyone know the meaning behind this?

I saw a dream
In the backyard of my parents house. A small kid, and then a woman screams "a pythonn!!". I saw it, in the sheet metal and he fell on the ground, trying to bite the Kid. It was a black one, but for some reason it reminds me a eel in bigger version, or pheobodus shark...2 men appear and save the kid ...no bites or something... and then it saw me, trying to get closer to me and then i wake up.

"SOLEMN"
I have titled this Solemn, as this dream has occurred several times now, with little variations at all.
Whenever it starts, it immediately becomes clear to me that it is some sort of... game, play. It's called Solemn.
I don't even know why that word specifically. You know how a dream can show you something cute, yet you just ***know*** that it is evil and really scary? Same thing with the "title" of the dream.
The dream just tells me that the dream itself is called "Solemn". That's just it.
Anyway, that's not really the point of this post.
I feel like this dream means *something,* but I can't really figure out what it is, however unrelated it may sound to... anything. I don't know.
I'll just explain what happens in it. Pardon some of the vagueness.
​
​
There's this castle, with a splitting stone path going neatly around some gothic statue.
This is solely around the statue, so the pathways conjoin after going around this statue.
​
The castle isn't so much a castle as it is a mansion. Something in between.
It's not clear what exactly is happening in the castle, but there's always this panorama-shot.
This pans over the statue and comes closer to the building.
​
I vaguely get a feeling that some kind of experiment - nefarious or not - is going on in there.
It involves some sort of robot or humanoid, that move extremely fast on "metal roads".
These roads are woven intricately within the castle, and there's really no reason behind that.
They're there so this being can keep running, extremely fast, around and around in laps.
​
But... there's this young group of girls. This is where it becomes hard to remember details.
They visit this mansion/castle. Still not entirely sure, I can recall this group finding out something.
That is, that they need some kind of juice/substance to power the being running around in there.
Why they need to power it, I have no clue. It seems to just be their calling, like a cartoon episode.
​
This search for the substance, however, leads them to a lake. This is the hardest part to remember.
This is all apparently happening right beside this lake, on an old dock, the kind you'd expect.
It gets really... gory. I'm pretty sure they find this substance they're looking for, but two men appear.
They try to stop them, even if I don't know if they have even got it yet, and go after them.
​
These two men call upon some grotesque amalgamation of sea-life. All variations of fish, eels... etc.
It's actually not so much an amalgamation, just a lot of different ones, individually by each other.
The men try to use these to attack the group, but something goes awry, for some reason.
​
Instead, the men are suddenly attacked, and one of the girls is filled to the brim with wrath.
She starts controlling the fishes/sea-life, and the men jump out in the water and swim for their life.
Only one of the girls jump out too, to swim after them - the girl filled with anger and hatred.
With all of these aquatic beings on her side, she swims incredibly fast toward the men.
It only takes seconds for her to catch up. Once this happens, it's EXTREMELY brutal.
​
I do remember this very clearly, with good reason.
​
Extremities tossed around, intestines ravaged and ripped up, blood gushing like violent sprinklers.
It's simply an ungodly sight, it feels so wrong and filled me with such a sense of pure dread.
​
When the scene calms down, I don't remember the girls returning to the mansion/castle.
I don't know if they retrieved that substance, if they were even supposed to.
It just ends with this incredibly violent event.
​
What on earth is the meaning behind this dream, even if it's really subtle? I'll love to hear something.
I have titled this Solemn, as this dream has occurred several times now, with little variations at all.
Whenever it starts, it immediately becomes clear to me...

An eel bit me?
In my dream last night I was standing in my backyard, at night, but in about knee deep water. There were a bunch of yellow eels that would run away from me if I got close but then 1 black eels that wasn't scared of me. I tried to pick it up and it bit and latched on to my thumb with the side of it's mouth while trying to move to bite me with 2 large fangs in the front it's mouth. I couldn't get me thumb out and it started to hurt so I walked back up to my house to ask someone for help, I don't know who. But when they came out to help I decided to kill theeelsl instead and beat it against the ground until it let go.
This was all super vivid and I've never cared about getting a dream interpreted before but this one has me curious
