What are eye contact dreams about?

The 25 August 2020 was my twenty fourth birthday.
I fell asleep at nine o’clock on the night of the twenty fifth of August.
While I slept, I had a dream where I was in a high school that looked like either an elementary school in my town (it’s a historically segregated school which still exists today, untouched since segregation), or my high school alma mater (since I graduated from high school six years ago).
A few of the students, one being myself, were standing in line.
Seconds later, I was discussing music with—who I now know was—the currently popular singer, Shawn Mendes.
He wore a white wife beater—I knew due to his shoulders being bare—and when we first spoke, his back faced my direction.
He turned around, and gave me eye contact, for the rest of our conversation.
I remember him smiling at me very frequently.
This is my only recollection of that dream, although I know several more things happened in the Shawn dream.

The only other thing I remember, is that after the Shawn dream, I dreamt—secondly—about the singer, Jessie Reyez.
It confuses me, as to why.

I was asleep from nine o’clock Post Meridian, on the twenty fifth, until three o’clock in the morning, on the twenty sixth of August.

this dream took place in a skyscraper on the las vegas strip (thats where i live) and it was new years. we were having a new years party and it was with everybody from my school. and i remember arguing with this teacher i hated from middle school. and then all of a sudden we look outside. and the whole entire strip was falling apart. buildings were collapsing, places were being bombed. the world was ending. and i remember them making us go into a gymnasium. one half of the gymnasium was for ppl who wanna go to heaven and the other half was ppl who wanted to go to hell. and i remember going to the heaven side because i figured why not try to go for the best. and i remember panicking because i felt like my sins were so big that god would never except me. and i was seeing everyone else get accepted into the gates of heaven. like straight panicking. and everybody was in line or w.e. and i remember when it was my turn this guy asked “why do you want to go to heaven” and i said “ because i’m funny and they need funny ppl like me because i bring food energy” and the guy was like 🤨 and so then someway somehow we ended in this alley. AND I WAS WITH GOD. now everyone does have this description of who god is, but i remember like glancing at what he looked like but my view wasn’t on him the whole time. like we never made eye contact. or anything. my view of him had his head out of my eyesight i could only see the neck down. and i remember he had me and this other girl playing this trivia game. and i remember one of the questions was about something from mean girls. and we took a break and god looked out our score, looked at me and was like “you need to do better” or “your barely keeping up” something like that. basically telling me i need to work harder ig. and sooo then we played more trivia, and before i woke up the score was 5-4. i had 5 the girl had 4. and the purpose of the game was , who ever won would go to heaven . please please help me understand this. is this god himself trying to talk to me or like is this just a stupid dream?

i’m 16, i’m more mature than any of my peers, i understand that there is only me to live for, my parents nor family will be responsible for my life, there is only me. i fell in love with a friend and never told them, i spent almost every minute in school or when i’m alone thinking about them, they moved to a different school recently and never told me why, they still live near me tho.
over the past week i’ve gone through a lot of stress and tension and i just felt i need to talk to the person, i don’t smoke but i’ve considered it over the past week just so i can be distracted and enjoy time with them if i do reach out and ask to hang out

that’s the preface to my dream i guess, but this is the dream:

i was in school in the cafeteria and then they walk in and talk to everyone at my table, they don’t make eye contact with me and they avoid me pretty clearly, the bell rings for us to return to class and the dream ends without them saying a single word to me.

what could this mean?

I dreamt I had a heart attack. Next thing that happened was I was walking down a long black hallway. A red demon in the distance started walking towards me. I told myself to not be afraid, and to stand up tall as to appear confident. The red demon faded and a white skeleton figure appeared. The white figured pointed to the right, which I followed. I was led to a large arena. It was poorly lit, and people were wondering all around looking very confused. Everyone was in human form. I remember thinking I wasn't sure if I made it to heaven, since this appeared to be a holding cell. I must say upfront that I'm an atheist, so during the dream I was thinking about what I had learned about death, not what I believed in. Although nothing made sense to me. Then numerous doors started to open around this holding cell, and a tall faceless figure pointed me to one of the doors for me to enter. Inside was a stadium looking format where thousands of people were walking around. I immediately took a seat just so I could watch everyone. It was dark but many people were carrying neon items that were scattered all over the floors. I choose to not pick up anything.

Everyone appeared to be very happy they were there, but I couldn't figure out why. I felt safe but not joyful like the others. I noticed these beige bags all over the ground and people were grabbing inside to get what was in the. Everything they pulled out was different, but it was always appealing. This was the first time I decided to try and take something. I put my hands in the bag and found something soft. There were tons of different things I could feel, but I really wanted what this soft item was. Eventually I was able to pull it out and it was a tiny beige puppy that fit in the palm of my hand. I woke up right after I made eye contact with the dog.

What's weird is when I woke up I started to cry. I was finally at peace in this dream and felt robbed it wasn't true. I can't stop thinking about being disappointed I'm still alive. I want to go back even though I don't understand where I was.

Side note: I've been very ill for a couple weeks and bed ridden. Not sure if that's why I dreamt this, but I've never had a dream like this one ever.

So this is the first nightmare I’ve had since high-school, from this post it was a week ago and I’m still getting flashes of what happened during it and I have no clue what’s going on.

Me and my father were our boating on a lake, a lake I spend over 2-3 weeks at each summer (my “happy place”) but it appeared much older. What I’d guess 20-60 years ago.

We were boating and we watched a boy, 8-11ish, jump off a cliff on a rope swing. Only he had wrapped the rope around himself pinning his arms to his side, and knotted it. We watched him slowly unravel until he was still pinned, dragging across the water. And then he disappeared under it. And then he emerged, escaped from the rope. I remember thinking it was some kind of adrenaline “beat the clock” sort of game. He swam to a dock, climbed onto it and we boated over and from the boat gave him the dad “You could’ve died speech.” To which he responded “Where’s the fun in that?” He then took a few steps over towards us on the dock. And all of a sudden his face hollowed in, his eyes went entirely jet black, his skin shrunk around him like he was anorexic, and turned violently and entirely dark purple and blue, with dark blue veins running across his body. He made direct eye contact with me and said “I feel cold.”

And I woke up. And now for a week straight, I keep seeing flashes of this emaciated child staring at me and saying that. I’ve read what drowning means, but he didn’t disappear or die then. I’ve read what black eyed children means, but I don’t know since he didn’t start off that way? I’ve been trying to analyze this but I have gotten nowhere, and this seemed like the best place to help.
