See: Circles

Gold can represent success and wealth. It’s connected with the accumulation of material resources.

In general, gold is perceived as precious, so in dreams it can symbolize something or someone precious to you. Think of the phrase, “worth their weight in gold.” See: Gems

The symbolism of gold can connect with ideas about value. See: Diamonds, Money

Finding a gold object can be a sign of conception or pregnancy. Gold symbolizes the preciousness of that new life being brought into the world.

Golden bells can symbolize hearing good news.

I fell for a boy that I dreamed of. He isn’t real, I don’t know him, but last night we have been being fuck-buddies for over a decade

So in my dream I’ve been being the fuck-buddy of this guy for years.

We barely knew each other, but we were such a good... friends? and the sex was even better.

It was a pretty cool relationship until he invited me to a family trip for the very first time in all those years of this kinda messed up friendship.
I was supposed to go just as a friend and then fuck when nobody was watching us.

On the trip his grandpa told me he was an orphan (their parents died when he was 4). I also found out that he was the only heir of his grandfather fortune (a big one) and that he just studied at college with me because he was looking for a friend.

The old man also thanked me for being that friend since his grandson had NEVER invited any friend to his house or a family reunion...
He had never told me any of this and I was obviously in shock...

I talked with him alone. I was kinda angry due the fact that I don’t only didn’t know him at all (kinda obvious since we were only fuck buddies... for years, but only that) and suddenly I was -apparently- THAT important.

He assured me he didn’t mean bad, and that he doesn’t wanted our relation to change. We were still just fuck buddies, and that he was not in love with me. Just that he wanted to share all this with and he knew the way to tell me.

I was relief, but I didn’t want him to think I was a gold digger from now on, so I walk to the living room to have my thoughts alone and find out a way to “break up” with him (lol).
He stopped me taking me for the wrist and told me (just like he could had read my mind) that he didn’t think of me that way. That’s why he had brought me there in the first place.

I could not resist that line and we started kissing wildly and... you can imagine the rest.
The after-sex was us lying in bed laughing about nonsense as the “friends” we always were...

I woke up feeling I have kinda fell for this guy that doesn’t even exist.

The thing is that I miss him, as a friend. As my long lifetime fuck-bud.

The things is that... at the end... it just felt so damn real.

I miss you bro.
Hope you are doing great.
I am sorry that I probably just suddenly disappeared from your non-existing life when I woke up.

Fuck your money

So in my dream I’ve been being the fuck-buddy of this guy for years.

We barely knew each other, but we were such a good... friends? and the sex was even...

Being a security guard and gold bars. What does this mean?

Here is a vivid dream of mine

I was in my grandparent's house (?) but it didn't look too much like the one irl. I became a new security guard. (Irl I definitely am not fit for that job. I have a petite stature.) I can't remember exactly but I may have had a slick security guard outfit (but a cool black pencil skirt) I was to protect gold bars downstairs. It was a concrete room. I saw the gold bars stamped and I think the person was famous. I mean hey not surprising.

The stamps were all over the bars and they were cute but I was thinking why is that necessary? To know that the gold bars came from (the famous person)? I was with other people in the room. However for some reason we knew that people were after the bars so I was told to be by the doors and close the door when they come. I saw them and closed the heavy doors immediately. I instructed them to go to the other side of the room. We were pretty safe in the room. One of the reasons I told them to go over to the other side is because we wouldn't be in the line of possible bullets.

However for some reason we decided to leave our safe room and instead flee. Or the people broke in the room? Can't remember but I think it was the former. We were sprinting but a few of us got tazed. Including me.

I even remember writing down what I wanted to title this post on paper with my (irl) bad handwriting. I was aware. (But it was something different than this title.) I can't remember but I know it was different. In the dream I was like ugh I can't even read this handwriting.

gold alien, insect, galaxy

i dream I saw this alien insect. it was gold and seemed like steampunk but not with gears. It was a combination of praying mantis with a pointy head, and a beak and the back looked like it had extra legs, like a scorpion. the eyes didn't have lids nor it blinked, it seemed like a statue. very fluid. it was computing at this floor design, which was actually a galaxy. as i got closer to it, i noticed it was zapping humans from different planets and reprograming. i got very close to it and i wanted it to stop what it was doing as i thought it was bad. it turned towards me and it made me scared. it didnt speak but i understood it. it said: let things be. just observe. and then i got pulled back to see that there were others like it and different ones, all doing things to galaxies...

dreamt of a huge black snake with gold scales in my grandmother's old house that's destroyed now.

So somewhere in the middle of the dream, we realised that there was a huge snake hiding in my grandmother's house, by we, I mean, my dad, sister and I. my grandmother wasn't really in the house. The house doesn't exist anymore. it had a tall wodden ceiling and wood detailing inside. The dream version of the house isn't how it was irl. The snake for some reason couldn't enter this one room that had a lot of wooden detailing in this arch above the bed and that's where I spent most the dream hiding and panicking while my sister and dad were the ones trying to hunt it down. The few times that I encountered it I made no attempt to kill it, instead just got away from it.

It was black with these glints of gold that wouldn't reflect if it was in a dark place, so every time I entered a room, I'd be extremely anxious of the corners and the shadows since encountering them once. Finally, everything was seemingly normal for a few seconds when my parents and I sat in the living room until my sister walked in holding its skin like a trophy, she was obviously very proud. At that moment I wondered what the snake looked like without the skin an this image of a reddish dark snake without skin and blood around other lighter coloured snakes without skins flashed to my mind.
The snake's skin was matte black, with these very detailed gold scales that shone, upon being turned around, it had gold streaks all over the other side of the body.

I wouldn't normally think about a dream this much but this one just feels different, I consider myself a skeptic and something of an atheist, but recently I've been encountering these strangely spiritual symbols, like seeing 1111 everywhere and having a lot of mental change in general. Rationally I know that it's just a coincidence or confirmation bias, but I still feel like I can't see the bigger picture of something.

So somewhere in the middle of the dream, we realised that there was a huge snake hiding in my grandmother's house, by we, I mean, my dad, sister and I. my...

Dream Interpretation please. I dream that I was a man, and was hidden/protected by the captain that looked like me. I was hiding in the captain quarter's room. I recalled wearing a dark green robe,...

I had a dream that I was a man and was a pirate aswel. The strange thing was there was two of us. We looked the same but we were different people. We both took over this wooden, massive ship. It looked like it was dated the area of 1700's area at persia maybe or the Mediterranean. Not sure..
I recalled being in the captain quarters, I was hiding there away from the other members of the pirates. Since I wasn't allowed to be here. But the man who was captain that looked like me, was protecting me. I recalled being very olive skin and dark brown so e what curly hair and we'll built. The captain quarters was masjsve. A big huge bed, and everything was beautiful even the duvet was sew nicely with golden stitching.
I recalled wearing a dark green robe with gold stich patterns on it.

One thing I recalled in the dream was me peering through the door from the captain's quarters and saw this little child that was tan and black hair, been taken for a bath but didn't want a bath. I saw the other me the captain following the child. I had urge sense to save the child as if it was my child.

What does my dream mean?
