Flowers growing from vagina and lower abdomen
Hi had a dream that I had vine like plants growing from my lower abdomen. At first, it seems like it was normal and then I started to realize how long they were and then I saw flowers. I was confused but though my seeds must have gotten onto me when I was gardening. My husband saw them and didn’t make a big deal of it. Then I started to pull them off. There were so many and I just wanted to get all of them off of me.
I saw an extremely similar dream in here but it was archived. Since it’s obviously more common, anyone have any insights?
In real life, I have 3 kids, including a 7 month old. My husband keeps bringing up having another baby at some point. For context.

I dreamt about someone dying and they died.
I’m sorry if this is not allowed here but I can’t stop thinking about this and need some insight.
Wednesday morning I had a dream my cousin died. Friday morning, I got the news he had died at 5:30am.
Ik this can be a coincidence but many years ago, someone was talking to me about my friend X’s grandfather but they had my friend confused with Y. So I corrected them saying X’s grandad is alive , not Y. and a few days later, X lost her grandad. And last year, i had a dream my neighbours (don’t even know them) had covid and couple days later found out they had actually tested positive. I also had a dream I hurt my leg at my sisters wedding and on the day of her actual wedding I fell down a couple stairs and hurt my ankle.
I have recently been reading about manifestation and the power of your own thoughts and like what if I put these bad thoughts out into the universe and it delivered?
Idk I can’t get this out of my head and I have no one talk to about this and im already so upset about my cousins death and idk I’m spiralling. I haven’t slept since Friday coz I’m so afraid to sleep and dream and idk. I could really use some insight. Thanks

I fall asleep asking myself what should I do with my relationship. This is the dream I had:
My dream:
F/30
​
I was in an unknown place, there was a gas station, I believe I was on the highway. I knew I had to go to a beach that I go every year for holidays, my parents have a house there and my boyfriend's parents too. I was in between the city where I used to live and the beach (they are two hours apart).
I was waiting that someone could pick me up until I saw an old lover I had (we didn't end up well, he really messed up with myself) and we started chatting, and I'm like 'hmm maybe he THINKS about me after all' as an ego trip, not expecting to fall in love again or anything. Everything was going good until he meets her girlfriend. She was blonde (he once told me that a tarotist told him that he was going to marry a blonde girl - I'm not)
Then, in this place I see a couple, that are friends of my actual boyfriend, we talked about their baby, about coronavirus, and she didn't want me to hug her because of the virus. I was happy because I could prove this guy that I didn't need him and that I knew people. I ask them if they can give me a ride, and I don't remember what happens next. But, I think that I'm stuck in this place.
Any insights?

What does this mean?
First time posting here. I (32 f) am an avid dreamer, yet I have difficulty remembering them unless they're particularly profound to my subconscious. I woke up this morning sweating and terrified and left with questions. Here's the dream:
Working in an office that resembled a place where I no longer work. There were many bad times at this office, so I suppose that's why my brain put me there. I was sitting quietly at my desk and working hard on something, probably a spreadsheet.
Two women I didn't recognize came around and started handing out paychecks; I recall thinking this was odd since I was paid direct deposit by this company. Anyway, they hand out about 4 checks before saying, "That's all we have. We only had enough checks to pay employees whose last names start with letters A - C."
I got upset and started to say something along the lines of, "I'm going to call (boss) and tell him you're not paying the rest of us. This is illegal, you can't just not pay us! I have a kid to feed!"
Response was, in short, "Tough shit."
I rode an elevator down to a parking lot and called this boss guy. He answers the phone and I say, "Mr. Delphi?" (Not my original boss's name)
"Ah, fuck it, call me Tourettes." Definitely *not* my boss's name lol
"Okay, well, it's payday and they're not paying anyone whose last name doesn't start with letters A through C."
Silence then a response, "Haha, that's how it goes. Sucks to be you!"
My alarm went off and I woke up, heart racing and *angry*. This can't just be surface value I'm worried about money, considering I have two jobs and make a decent living. Does anyone have any insight?
Thanks for reading!

Dreamt that the guy I’m seeing had rotten teeth
I have been seeing this guy for about a month, and we’ve been spending a lot of time together. Thing is, we started off as friends and then ended up hooking up. Says he doesn’t think he’s able to be in a relationship. This past week he was at my place twice in a week. Hooked up, next night he stayed over. I had a dream that I turned over in bed and he was asleep with his mouth kind of open. I looked and saw that his top teeth were rotten - like black. About to fall apart, mostly missing already. I rubbed my eyes, looked away and looked back thinking I was just imagining things. When I looked back, they were still like that.
Anyone here that could give me some insight on what this could mean? I mentioned some details of our situation in case that would be helpful.
It’s been stressing me out because I’m at the point where I’m not sure if it was a dream or not.
