A vivid dream that ended in a nightmare

This involves some of my friends, so I'll refer to them as just letters.

It started out with me in the car with my dad. I was probably coming home from doing something, but then suddenly a black and yellow psychedelic frog (I'm guessing a frog that gives effects of psychedelic drugs like acid) landed next to me and I started freaking out and begging him to get rid of the frog. He didn't care about it, though, instead telling me that I'm "freaking out" and "making a big deal out of it". So instead I jumped out of the car and ran away to try and distance myself from the frog.

Eventually I ran into my friend A. We both decided we'd go to the store and get some stuff. I got 2 bags of chips, along with something else that I'm forgetting. When we got to the cashier, I realized I had no money and he offered to pay for my stuff.

After leaving the store and parting ways with my friend my chips got stolen by a thief. I started chasing him, but the more I chased him the more tired I got. Eventually when I cornered him at an elementary school. He challenged me to a dance battle and I accepted. It was obvious he was winning since I was so lethargic. After he won and he let his guard down I got a sudden burst of energy. I used it to knock him down to the ground and kick the shit out of him while his friends watched in horror.

After that I woke up and then went back to sleep. In this dream I was on a Minecraft styled plane that was made out of wood. I was to parachute down to an island that supposedly had terrorists on it. I got to the island and climbed one of the mountains. There I met one of my friends B and someone from that plane (we'll name them C) who had the same mission as I did. C decided to betray me to take all of my diamonds while B cheered me on. Eventually I won by killing him with my diamond sword and I went through the forest and entered a mansion.

I entered the mansion and went upstairs into one of the bedrooms. Inside was my friend D. We both hung out inside the room and talked for a while. Meanwhile that feeling of chronic tiredness came back and I couldn't even move my arms.

Eventually she decided that she wanted to go into the basement and my perspective switched to hers. In the basement there was a library with a weird librarian. She wanted D to find some papers for her and she'd be paid in cash. D accepted and went into the library. She found one of the papers and got so scared she hid inside a box. Eventually a creepy spider girl found her and bit the top of her skull off, and that's when I woke up.

NSFW?: I had a dream about being a member of an immortal species

I put NSFW because this dream could seem like a downright R-rated movie.

I was a member of this unknown species in my dream. There was only 3 members of this species and when we "died", we could choose what other species to become half of. The other 2 members of this species were my dream older brother and his wife. There was one thing about this species that made us completely terrifying- we had an urge to eat the members of the species we chose to become half of on our revival. My dream brother's wife decided to be half human, but she naturally had less of an urge to eat others so she became a librarian in this organization focused on solving problems caused by unknown creatures, like my species. It wasn't specified in the dream what species I was half of, but I wasn't human. I looked like a human though, but since I didn't have the urge to eat humans, I joined that same organization as a hunter. My dream brother chose to be human but he also had the greatest urge out of all 3 of us and he was very strong and powerful, making people fear him.

Essentially, my dream brother was the antagonist in the dream. He ended up staying in some abandoned house on a busy road. He would eat the people that would either walk or drive near the house. When he would eat people, their bodies would become sort of patch-worked and they would walk around outside the house as like his mindless servants. They would lure people to the house for him to kill and add to his servants. It was my along with my human coworkers' job to stop my dream brother and either get him into a different species or get him to control his urge that he obviously showed no current amount of "holding back". Luckily, for me, I was in no danger because I was the same immortal species as my dream brother and we have no urges to eat one another.

At first in the dream, I along with one other coworker had to break into some military facility and get some documents. I think the military in my dream were kind of corrupt and wouldn't give us the documents we needed despite apparently being on the same side, so we had to get those documents through other means. My human coworker dealt with getting me inside and outside and it was my job to sneak through the facility and steal the documents. Because I wasn't human, I had incredible strength and power, making sneaking along rooftops and quickly getting by people easy. I managed to steal the briefcase containing the documents and get out. I still don't know what importance those documents served, but they had importance to my dream brother's case.

I then decided to go and try to talk to my brother to get him to stop, so I made a trip down the road, putting down the not-so-human servants along the way. I went inside the house my brother was in and we talked for a bit. The talk didn't get my brother to stop and he took on a more terrifying form and continued on. I went back to the organization and I had the idea of asking his wife to get him to stop. While my brother did like me, he had a special spot for his wife. I went to his wife, the librarian of the organization who could also control her urges, and asked her for her help. She was nice, but you could tell that she didn't act human since she wasn't. I also didn't act like the species I decided to take half of until I "die" and I also didn't act like a human but both my brother's wife and I didn't act like monsters like my brother.

My brother's wife agreed to help and try to talk him out of it, but right as we left, I woke up so now I don't know what happened after that. Also, you would think a dream where I watch people be eaten alive and turned into monstrous servants would be a nightmare, but it wasn't scary somehow so that's why I'm not putting the flair as nightmare and instead putting it as long dream.

I put NSFW because this dream could seem like a downright R-rated movie.

Nightmare about running away from a demon librarian and killing my (kinda) crush with an elevator

The dream starts pretty unrelated to the final event - some of my friends and classmates are in a library, which is run by a really strict woman who, as we arrive, is killing a little boy with some demon spell (he disappeared in a blast of fire) for not giving back a book on time. We look around, and everything is going ok until one of my classmates destroys some fancy urn or something like that. the librarian goes crazy and turns into a weird, reddish-purple monster and starts chasing us. We run for a bit and hide in a block of flats (at this point the perspective of the dream changes and it feels like instead of being a participant of the events I'm just an observer). there's a really old elevator in there, into which you go by actually opening a regular, metal door with a handle. we all get in there, apart from my crush (I'm not really sure about my feelings towards him but I guess it still counts lol), who says that he'll wait down there. We go up, and he notices that he can still open the door and get into the elevator shaft. he jumps in, and there's a small, empty concrete space with a pretty big hole in the wall. Everyone gets out of the elevator on the second floor except me, as I want to go down and hang out with him. I warn him and say that he should leave the shaft or I might crush him. He says that there's probably a safety mechanism that will stop the elevator (spoiler alert: there isn't). I start the elevator, and he realizes that he's gonna die if he doesn't do anything. He gets into the hole, slides down a slope, and falls into a pit of spikes, in which he slowly bleeds out. Meanwhile dream-me and everyone else suddenly forget about him and just leave the building like nothing happened, while observer-me panics about how my crush is dying in some weird fucking trap.

tl:dr: my crush, towards who I'm unsure of my feelings, gets into an elevator shaft, while i descend onto him, forcing him to get into some weird hole leading to a spike pit.

sorry if my English is bad, I'm a Polish high schooler and even though I'm pretty fluent I still make some mistakes lol

The Search for a Book

There’s this library that I dream about every now and then. It’s always somewhere in the middle of nowhere. There’s dirt roads that lead to it, but the library itself is huge.

No matter what I always had to look for it, but today I was already in there.

The halls have shelves as tall as the ceilings and these shelves are filled with books. There’s people on computers on the the first level and the upper levels have people scouring the halls.

I was searching for a book about a Tuesday in September in my city in section E-1. It was weirdly specific. I search for it through a computer, but no luck. I asked a tall librarian who’s face I couldn’t see for help and they pointed me to an area.

I kept searching the shelves to find that specific book, but I never found it. I woke up shortly.

Maybe this whole dream represented that I could have all this information and resources, but even with all that, I will never know exactly what will happen. I just have to expected the unexpected.

Back to school Dream

I'm a college dropout who just had a dream about going to high school. I was on a bus that drove to a neighborhood I've never been to before and I went to school I've never seen.

The campus was so huge and it looked like there was a lot of love put into it. I ran into old friends from high school and I met one guy that looked like my friend but it wasn't him.

The hallways were so long and busy. I went to the library which was absolutely massive and had tons of manga adorned everywhere. The librarian ran a food pantry and the dream ended right when she was trying to set up an appointment for me.
