Can someone help interpret this dream?

Hi guys, I'm fairly new to all of this. Had a dream just now which I felt compelled to write down and went on here because I'm not sure what to make of it. I would gladly appreciate any takes on it.

I dreamt that I woke up during the middle of the night in some room located on the highest floor of the building. The door to the room was ajar and outside was the open air and a flight of stairs leading downwards.

On the stairs were animals, mostly dogs and cats, but at one a point a snake appeared. I recalled feeling scared that the others would get eaten by the snake but it simply came and went just like that.

I looked up towards the night sky and saw the moon being covered by some clouds which gradually passed by to reveal the view of a full moon. I entered back into the room and started feeling vertigo because I had an acute fear of heights and standing on the highest floor of the building with the outside view exposed was...yea. It felt as if the floor beneath me could collapse at any moment.

At the same time, there was also another feeling surfacing in me. As I fell down to the floor to try and regain my balance I started to feel 'ok' with it all. Even though my heart was beating quickly there was this sense of surrender to what was going on.

One side of the walls was made of completely transparent windows. Through it I could see the city and all the people walking around. For a moment I experienced this distinct feeling of oneness with everything else around me, as if I could feel the cosmic web that connected everything with each other.

Big white OWL in my dream??

Hi everyone!

In my dream I was at kitchen with my mother and my husband. Then we’ve seen a giant (about 2 ft) white owl standing behind our glass door staring at us.

I was sitting at the desk with my husband and the owl suddenly appeared near the desk inside our house and was staring at me. I normally am very scared of animals so I was scared in my dream as well. My husband got away from the table and was happy and chill as always. I was panicking and asking for his help.

The owl was still and constantly staring at me. I tried to get him away from me but couldnt succeed. Then I slightly petted him just like a dog to make him like me I guess. He was like obsessed with me and didnt let me go.

Eventually I managed to get up from the desk and walk to my husband and the owl attacked me at that point and I woke up with horror and heart beat.

Do you know what it can mean? It says owls represent spiritual things etc but dont know how to interpret. I’m at one of the most depressed times of my life so wanted to ask

Btw I didnt see any owls anywhere in real life, tv etc or talked about them with anyone

I cut a horse's head in my dream

Hello,

Last night, I dreamt that I decapitated a horse in my garage. It was a dark colored horse (dark brown or black). It was just standing in my garage, not attacking me nor doing anything and I don't know for what reason I cut its head off (I don't remember what weapon did I use to do so).

I don't remember seeing its head fly off, but I remember very clearly the body on the floor and the blood coming out of the neck (an impressively abundant flow of blood).

Then a car parked in front of my garage door, it was my sister's. She didn't seem schocked at all and I announced to her that I killed a hoarse for us to eat and she was very happy about it.

I remember looking at the horse's thighs and thinking about the huge quantity of meat and the sausages to me made.

That was all I remember about the dream but I woke up very very disturbed.

\----------------

Some information about me:

\- I love animals and would never ever hurt one.

\- I eat meat for the sake of having a balanced diet but I don't really like meat and I disgusted by the idea of eating horse meat.

\- I don't have a particular fascination to horses (no sexual fantasies no admiration to their beauty whatsoever). They're just a regular animals farm for me.

\- My sister adores horses and doesn't eat meat.

\- I am trying to make a career shift into a totally different field and this has not been easy.

\- I am currently in a very stressful situation as I am waiting for an answer to a job I applied to and I am expecting a reply this week.

\- Even I receive a negative response from the new job, I decided to leave my current job that I can't stand anymore and doesn't allow me to grow to my full potentiel. I stayed in this job for too long because I am tied to a work permit in a foreign country.

\- I am a female, 29yo, atheist, middle easter and living in Europe for the last 10 years.

\- My sister lives in our home country.

\- I am single and not really looking for a relationship at the moment.

I don't know if any other information is needed but please don't hesitate to ask me.

Can anyone please help me interpret this dream?

Thank you!

I had a disturbing dream that we medically put our child to sleep. (Like an animal)

it wasn’t my decision, I think it was my wife’s. I just remember looking at him and looking at her rubbing his back and saying it will be ok, then the doctor squirting a medicine in his mouth.

It ended there, it feels so wrong to even have the capacity to dream this. He’s 4 years old, a good kid, he’s a little whiny and that’s it. I am having trouble dealing with this. This is my first ever post.

Dream of a Deformed Dog

Last night I had a freaky dream. Wasn’t really a nightmare because the overall vibe was positive but definitely got caught off guard in it. I was at an animal shelter with the premise I guess of adopting a dog. I feel like I wanted to go for a dog that’s been there a while, that no one wanted, perhaps special needs. So I get taken into a room with this dog. He’s laying on a dog bed, with his head facing away from me. I’m told his name is Gummy. He is a Dalmatian, Golden Retriever mix so he’s spotted like a Dalmatian but with the fluffiness of a Golden Retriever. He’s quite large as well, probably coming to my waist when I am standing. As I approach him, he turns his head and finally looks at me. I’m shocked for a second at what I see. His jaw is deformed, a little off center with the lower jaw being too short for the top snout so his tongue is out and he has scarring as if he’s had corrective surgery. His lips are taut and show off his gums, hence the name Gummy. He looks like he’s always smiling or baring teeth. For a few seconds I’m taken off guard and say “Oh God” as I wasn’t expecting his appearance then he starts wagging his tail at me and I pet him. We’re having a good interaction when I wake up. Ideas?
