What are possible meanings for dreams of invading?

An invasion in a dream can symbolize something that invades your thoughts or breaks your routine. It can be anything you would describe as “invasive.” For example, you’re trying to study or get some work done and your phone rings constantly. Or you come home to find that someone has been poking around on your computer. It’s an invasion of privacy. See: Intruders

An invasion implies a heavy struggle that comes on suddenly, though it might be expected. For example, you know that a major push is coming to get a project done at work, and dream about preparing for an invasion. In the eyes of retail workers, “Black Friday” is comparable to an invasion. For teachers it could be the first day of school.

Of course, dreaming about an invasion can be interpreted more literally. For example, viruses and germs “invade” your body. They can number in the millions, so it’s like an invading army, and a person is said to “fight” or “battle” illness. Or you live near your country’s borders and people are illegally crossing over, “invading” your land. Or your company is bought out by “corporate raiders.” Or you have been taking in news about countries preparing to go to war or invading their neighbors and your dreams respond to it.

When Russia took over Crimea, people in America suddenly started reporting more than the usual number of dreams about a Russian invasion of America, reflecting the fact that the annexation of Crimea was big news, and some news outlets framed it in terms of an invasion.

What could the meaning be? people in the dream lost all spirituality they has since they came.

I was revealed a message in a dream

A anthropomorphic bald eagle appeared with aviator shades and a red, white, and blue suit. The most American symbol I have ever seen in my life, which is strange, I avoid politics and am not very patriotic. The eagle told me “Freedom runs 7 miles per hour.” He kept repeating this over and over, in just a wide empty white space. This was all encompassing, there was nothing before and nothing after. Please help me understand what this means, it’s invaded my mind.

l shot myself in the head, l can still feel the sensation on my cheek

l was having a nightmare where l was a burglar and l was invading an old couple's house, they seem rich because their house was pretty big, outside of it were scarecrows close by the window and a big field of tall bushes as the rest of the garden, with a big wall separating them from the street.

In the dream, l was in a balcony, l had to climb the scarecrows to get to the other side, they seem to be electrified by something, it looked like a videogame at that point because l could clearly see the energy moving through them and where l could grab them in order to progress, but when l started doing that, suddenly l noticed that there weren't scarecrows, but people's bodies crucified, l felt sick while climbing them. Then from the balcony where l was before, an old lady appears and screams "Intruder!", that moment l decided to drop from the one l was holding and started to run for my life, l went through the bushes while the alarm sound was getting louder, l could sense her getting closer, l arrived next to the wall and climbed my way out of there.

When l got to the other side, the police was already there ready to catch me,l began begging the cop to go check the house l was robbing while he was screaming at me to get down, while that was happening, the old lady arrived at the scene, the cop then started talking to her and walking back to his car as she was following him, then he louded a gun and throw it at me and screamed l should run. For some reason, there was a motorcycle right next to me, so l hop on and drove away, but l didn't know how to drive a motorcycle, l was too afraid of what would happen to me if the lady catches me, so l decided to free myself from my horrible destiny and shot myself.

Then l woke up, the pain of the bullet hitting my head was so intense, l could still feel it minutes later after l was awake.

Dream about creepy woman telling me to remember something

Had this weird dream a few weeks ago and it hasn’t left my mind ever since.

I was on the train and this pale woman came up to me and kept repeating “Remember what I told you” over and over again. She wouldn’t stop repeating it. She was incredibly close to me like I tried to walk away since she was invading my personal space but she kept coming closer. Her face was so close to mine, I pushed her off with my hands but she didn’t move. She was so strong. I moved to the other side of the train and held onto the bars to stop from falling but she bit my knuckles. I woke up with my hands feeling like someone bit them but there were no bite marks.

What does this dream mean?? I don’t reven remember what the woman was telling me to remember what she told me.
