I was summoned to court for sexual assault because of my bad grammar

I’ve (23M) had this dream twice now and it’s getting on my nerves. In my dream, I had just finished an abnormal psychology class. I was checking my grade (which was an A), when I noticed a notification from my teacher that said there was an urgent problem with my grade that came up. I did some more investigation and found that there was suspicion that I was guilty of sexual assault and scheduled to meet in court in my college town 7 hours away this week.

Obviously, I was shocked and horrified and racked my brain trying to figure out how this came to be. The only lead I had is that for this psych class, I had presented a power point about rapists and their motivations - pretty dark stuff. As part of the presentation I included an interview of an imprisoned rapist and wrote out a quote by him admitting his crime.

So I looked through my PowerPoint and finally had an aha moment. It turned out that I had forgotten to add the quotation marks outside the prisoner’s monologue. This made it look like I was speaking from my own personal experience and admitting I had raped someone. My instructor had flagged my presentation and reported it to authorities, and now I had to look like a fucking idiot in court explaining to judge how I falsely confessed a crime as serious as rape in such a stupid way. And then I spent the rest of the dream stressing out about finding my court notice because I forgot the time and date, getting a ride back, getting s lawyer, and paying for it all.

There were points when I debated if it was all dream, even in my first few minutes of wakefulness, because even though lots of details were different (I never even took abnormal psych), the dream was remarkably coherent and occurred in real time. Sure hope these stop, seeing your entire life fall apart for a half hour or so because of a stupid grammatical mistake is not much fun.

Tl;dr: class presentation an interview of an incarcerated rapist, forgot to put quotation marks around the rapist’s monologue, professor thought I was confessing a rape myself and turned me in to the police, now I have to pack up my life and appear in court.

Someone hot smack murdered when I let them out the door

Not exactly sure how the dream came to be but
I was in a random house with someone that I know and used to talk to like nearly 2 years ago
Then someone it came to us doing the nasty, and in my dream it was really good. But then I said he had to leave and I felt guilty and stuff
Cause irl I have a boyfriend so maybe in my dream I was still with him?
I'm pretty sure it read 10am
But it was still pitch black outside
He went downstairs to leave in a sad slighty angry way, but more disappointed
He didnt know which key it was so for some reason I went down and found the key instantly
To which he left without a work and I closed the door
And theough the door window
Which were blurry
A man appeared pretty sure he had red eyes that I could see the most through the blurry window
And then the guy that I was started telling me to open the door to which I was still locking the door quickly scared
And then bam
A truck zoomed past and I'm pretty sure killed him
I'm lowkey scared atm aaaa
And so then the weird red eyed man looked at me through the glass
And I sprinted upstairs with the keys
Laid down in the bed
And woke up (this was like 10 mins ago)
The second I woke up I felt for keys cause I had my sleep mask on and was confused and scared
Hope someone can tell me what this mean or like just, talk about this weird ass dream

Synchronised dream with my girlfriend

So I had a dream that my girlfriend had to take a shower with her sister and some random guy. They all looked very guilty as though they didn't really want to do it.

I was pretty upset in the dream, angry and jealous also. I remember opening the door after and seeing them all with towels in their hair. I don't know what happened in there. I think they literally just had to take a shower.

Anyway. I spoke to my girlfriend the next day (she lives on the other side of the world) and she told me she had a dream (the same night) where she was a prostitute and she had to take a shower with a male client and another prostitute.

Coincidence lol? What is going on here? Anyone have any interpretation?
