I had a dream where I shot up a school

I was with other people and we were all sick of everyone's personality but ours, so we decided to shoot up a school. After I shot a few people with a pistol, we started to run. We went into a parking garage where we split up. I realized I had made a mistake by starting to go up to higher floors of the parking garage because that would be trapping myself; there were guards and police chasing us. The group got out of the garage, I managed to shoot a few guards/policemen, and I eventually got caught.

For some reason I was being held within the school with other outcasts. For some reason we were all playing computer games while a supervisor watched us. For some reason I managed to escape out the back door.

Here comes a supernatural section of the dream. While outside, finally free, I met a group of vampires. One bit me, and all of a sudden I was one of their friends, and I had to stay in the shadows and avoid daylight. The vampires were a group of criminals and we all carried weapons of sorts (one carried a chain). They were dressed in black, one had purple hair, on They admired me for trying to shoot up the school and decided we were going to get back at the school, and law enforcement, for holding me up and protecting those annoying people I tried to kill. They agreed that the majority of people were idiots. They took me to a hideout where we met other vampires. Apparently there was a whole society of vampires. So we went back to the school while guardd were patrolling, and we stayed in the shadows because apparently when these vampires are in shadow or in the dark, we become invisible.e had dreads, it was very alternative looking.

An eye that makes you invisible

Background: I live in Iran; reputation and shame strongly influence this culture. I’m 25 yo, female. I always date younger guys (21-22). Recently, after about 8 months of not dating, I started dating another 22-year-old. Also, I have social anxiety.

What I remember from the dream:

In the first act, there’s a building. Its top floor is a luxury hotel; it has an air of lust to it and it seems to be host to frequent sex parties. I see an Indian middle-aged women, having sex with two young guys.

I don’t remember the second act. I know it involves my family (including my sister and brother) and it seems like something has happened that has endangered the reputation of the family and we are trying to fix it.

In the third act, a magical battle is going on. Our side has acquired something from the other side; an eye, that when worn, will make the wearer invisible, and they can do whatever they want. There is a black man on our side that is given the responsibility of using the eye. He goes around dealing with some enemies, killing them or knocking them down. My brother is also helping in the battle. The scene is in my grandparents (mother’s side) house. Meanwhile, I’m doing something, maybe hiding something in the hotel. (I don’t remember)

However, when we think we have won, Mad Eye Moody from harry potter appears. And we realize The Eye hasn’t been working, and whatever the black guy has done have had no effect. All enemies are still alive, and also, they’ve seen everything.

Mad eye moody chases the black guy. At this point, his point of view becomes mine. He feels weak and defeated. Then, when mad eye moody is near, the black guy decides to destroy the eye. He cuts into it with a scissor. Inside the eye, it’s black and made of foam.

The scene cuts to the middle-aged Indian woman. She is in a red-purple lively casino or club, and she is picking up two young men.

I would appreciate your interpretation!

Someone please help me decipher a dream

I had a terrible dream just now and i’m not sure what it means.
I fell asleep and i entered my dream. It started with my boyfriend and i together, in a walmart shopping for groceries for my grandfather. He was pushing me in the cart and i was telling him what he needed to get for the trip. I saw our mutual friend and invited him to join. We finish up our trip and go outside in the walmart parking lot. There’s now a huge group of us, and someone else is pushing me in the cart, i’m not sure who though. He pushes me into this big net, (the size of a circus tent), with the whole thing filled with bugs. i hate bugs. When i come
out i can’t find my boyfriend, so i have his friend take me home. When i get home i’m upset (naturally) so i go to take a nap. Here’s where it gets confusing. When i laid down, i tried to open my eyes, but i couldn’t. I could still move my body though. In the dream, i was laying down in the next spot i fell asleep in real life. So i couldn’t open my eyes, but i could move. This is already scary enough. So i try crawling down to the floor so i could go to the bathroom, and i make it there. I open my eyes a little bit and see that the bathroom is red, but that’s all i can see. I then go back to my room, in the same spot, and lay back down again. However, i didn’t make this decision willingly. It’s like something else lead me there, and forced me to lay back down. At this point it was hard to move, and all i could see was the ceiling above me. Then there was a repeating loop of me trying to get up and open my eyes, but i couldn’t. i kept trying to throw my head up, or jerk my arms or anything, but i still couldn’t do anything. When i woke up in real life, my neck hurt, i think i was jerking it in my sleep as well. This whole thing is very scary to me and i’m not sure what it means. All i know is that i was stuck in that spot, couldn’t move, see or talk. Towards the end of my dream i told myself to wake up, and i did. Can anybody please help my figure out what this means 🥺

Just had probably the most oddly disturbing nightmare ever

So it was a pretty normal dream, taking place in my hometown in present time. I was walking home like any other school day, but something was off. There were weird things around, like certain roads that weren't supposed to be where they were, and most notably, a Sakura (cherry blossom) tree outside of a house I always walk by that doesn't have a tree in front of it. I didn't notice it though, cause it was a dream. Anyway, I must've taken some kind of detour, because I ended up in a field, that's usually on the other side of my neighborhood. This is where the weird shit goes down. So throughout the dream I was occasionally seeing this (yes it's hilarious thinking about it) really off-putting man in a banana costume, hiding in weird places (now that I think about it, only the ones that were out of place). He had a new expression each time, and he looked more and more deranged as time went on. So when I reached the field, the sky had already turned dark, so It was night time. The field is surrounded by houses (it's in the middle of the suburbs), and the playground that's usually there is no longer present. All that was there was the washrooms, in a building in the center of the field. I don't know why, maybe to hide from the banana guy (I was starting to get the idea that he was following me). I walked in, and went to wash my hands, when to my left, out of the corner of my eye, I saw him. He was laying limp on the toilet in the stall across the floor, with his head hanging in front of him. He had the most deranged and twisted face I'd ever seen, and he slowly turned his head to look at me. In classic SCP-173 fashion, I tried not to break eye contact, but I couldn't look at it for much longer because I felt like I was going insane. Making sure not to make any sudden movements, I slowly began walking towards the door. The banana man (stop laughing) was starting to half cry half laugh, slowly getting louder and louder. He was no longer in my line of sight, and I felt like any second he could've just gotten up and started chasing me. I felt SO threatened. Terrified, I started to crack the door open, and I was sure that he was going to run up behind me at any moment, but he didn't. He just sat there. Once the door was halfway open, I flung it the rest of the way open, and made a break for it. It was pitch black out, and I was alone. I was too scared even to scream for help, so I just kept running. The laugh/crying transitioned into angry screaming, still laughing all the same. I didn't look back to see if he was giving chase, because that would've slowed me down. The houses around the field were gone. All that was left was an endless open field. I stopped running and turned around, to find that the screaming was gone. Still, I felt no less afraid. All of a sudden, I heard footsteps behind me, and I turned around again, but nothing was there. The screams were coming back. I fell to my knees, panicked to the point where I couldn't keep running. The screaming faded in quickly to the point where it was deafeningly loud, and I started screaming too. That was when I woke up.

Bananas freak me out now. Thanks, brain.

So, I just had this dream. I have no clue what the hell it means. If I need to give backstory I will.

This is the dream. My girlfriend and I are mercenaries for the US government. We are world renowned and all of US loves us. They call us Bonnie and Clyde. It’s great. One day she tragically dies on a job. No one knows but my boss and me. So we are famous and a TV show calls him to join. He asks me to send a picture of me smiling so he knows I’m getting paid well (as a joke of course). So instead I send a picture of my girl and I. Then the crowd of the audience goes silent. My boss (on the show) finally tells the world about her. Everyone is depressed. Then I send another picture. It’s a picture of the scars on my wrist that I made because of her passing. The caption of the pic says “What is valor, if there’s no one to share it with”. Time goes by and my boss calls me for one last job. I take it. I’m to impersonate a bad guy to get info at a bad guy headquarters. I go and the bad guys pat me down. As I’m walking to his door I see these pyramids next to me. Two to be exact. Really big. I look up at them and the sun shines from behind them. I get a headache and fall to the floor. My vision changes from red to grey, then red to grey again and again. I can hear my heartbeat and feel it shaking the earth. Then my heartbeat and vision stop being weird lol. A shadow rises from behind the pyramids and it’s a Pegasus. It swoops down in front of my vision and shortly disappears out of my sight completely. A skeletal creature was riding it. Then I wake up in my room but everything is grey. I realize it’s a dream so I start telling myself to wake up. Over and over again. It doesn’t work. So I hold my breath for 30 seconds. Then I actually wake up, gasping for air. That’s my dream.

So, I just had this dream. I have no clue what the hell it means. If I need to give backstory I will.
