A re-occurring nightmare, within a dream.


It’s almost like i didn’t have a dream the night before, but i “woke up” and had done my normal routine took a shower all that jazz you know? and so i play PC for around an hour with friends until i heard some kind of screech mixed with “ear-rapey” noises. And so knowing my brother and mom are downstairs i naturally go downstairs, but right as i go down the stairs everything goes dark and my heart skips a beat.

Now you may think that’s the end right but no, this entire process happens again and when i go downstairs everything is normal so i go back to my room and sit up there on my phone for a good bit. Until i go back down to get something to eat except half way through making whatever i was making the noise happens again but this time it’s in a way fading and right when i thought it was over it came back overwhelmingly loud and was consistent until everything went black again. Now by this point i didn’t take a shower, i immediately went downstairs to explain this to my mom and apparently i was down there for a while because the next thing I remember was her asking me what I want for dinner. And half way through her sentence, her words started distorting themselves it was like they were backwards but i couldn’t even tell if it was english. The entire time she was staring blankly at me “talking” and after around 30 seconds i’m scared sh**less and have adrenaline pumping through my veins. No sound nothing this time just black but this time the black seemed to be there for an eternity, felt like i was in the black for my entire life. And now i’m typing this out “awake” i don’t know if this is real or not, i’m questioning my reality at this point and am on the brink of insanity. I’m sweating profusely and am also very close to bursting out in a fit of tears. I’m mustering up the strength to go downstairs now.

A Dream That I Had A Long Time Ago That I Still Remember Pretty Well

I was going to school it was the last day of school and I was talking to my mom about how it was going to be a good summer vacation and I got to school and started the day off as normal put my stuff in my locker and went to my first class of the day. But then about 30 mins into class (I didn't dream that long or anything I just knew) A zombie broke down the door into the class and starts eating my classmates. I run away and usher everybody out of the class and close the door before the zombie comes to get us. I turn around and the school is in Anarchy Zombies everywhere and people getting eaten I run to grab my stuff out of my locker because I thought I would need them. Then a zombie pins me to the lockers behind and tries to bite me. I open a locker and hit it in the face and kick the zombie into the locker and shut it. Then I grab my stuff from my locker and then all the zombies start chasing me I text my mom to pick me up from the school. I burst out the front doors of my school with a hoard of zombies chasing me I start running home because I don't know where else to run to. My mom pulls up around the corner and I get in and we drive away my family is in the car except for my dad because he is at work. When we are driving by our old house my mom says to call my dad and tell him we will be meeting him at "The Hotel" I tell him and I fall asleep in the car. Then I wake up in the dream to find out where we will be staying it is a big hotel it is taller than the clouds and each floor is bigger than the house I live don't live in that small of a house. My dad is there and so are my grandparents and somebody from school. We walk inside and have lunch. Then I wake up

Vivid dream about my boyfriend

I had a really vivid dream a couple months ago.

It started with me just standing outside an old rundown gas stations. It looked like no one had been there in years, and no one else was around. I walked inside and I saw three figures sitting at a table on the right, but I didn't pay much attention to them. The only thing not covered in dust and rust was a shiny new vending machine to the left. There was no employees behind the counter, in fact, the counter was completely torn apart.

I walked to the vending machine to get a snack. As im looking I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and my boyfriend is standing there. But hes standing weird, he seemed more confident then usual. I now see the other two people at the table. They're both also my boyfriend, but they were different. One looked meaner and was wearing a baggy tshirt. The other was sitting with their legs crossed, smiling at me kindly, and he was wearing my clothes. It was kinda like his feminine and masculine sides, and the one that tapped me on the shoulder was more like normal him, he was the "leader". It wasn't too weird cause sometimes he is more masculine, talking about football (soccer) and play fighting with me. Other times hes more feminine, he'll wear my clothes and makeup and watch rupaul's drag with me. So I think my brain just split him into 3 different people. (Imma just call them main boyfriend, feminine boyfriend, and masculine boyfriend to tell them apart)

The main guy asked me how im doing. I just said im good. He introduced me to the other two, and they both said hi. I started to get really nervous, and I didn't know why. I started having a panic attack, and main boyfriend reached out to comfort me, which freaked me out even more. I screamed for them not to touch me, I didn't want anyone near me. I ran to the corner and curled up into a ball. I was breathing heavily and crying and I didn't know what was going on. My boyfriend's circled around me, but gave me some space. They kept asking me what was wrong, but I didnt know. I just kept screaming and telling them to not get near me. My main boyfriend just stood up, walked over, and sat down on the ground next to me. He just "well, now im next to you" and a wave of calm rushed over me. I immediately stopped screaming and crying. I just looked over at him, and he was smiling at me.

Then I woke up, that was the end of the dream. Does anyone have any ideas on what this might mean?

I dreamt I ate my clitoris as if it was a meaty snack last night. Should I be worried?

I don't remember much but at first I was alarmed. Like why did my clitoris come off and did it look like a round-ish thin slice of chicken? I don't know why the fuck I ate it. The dream moved on quite fast after that. I think I ate some random candy as well.

Was that just a weird thing I dreamt? Does it have a meaning? Google ain't telling me shit. Perhaps I am simply going crazy.

I took a poop and put it in the dishwasher-- the strangest dream I've ever had

I'm at my aunt's house for a family dinner. I've been tasked to clean the dishes. I decide to take a quick poop and let it go through the dishwasher with the dishes 🤢😭😫 I wrapped it in tinfoil and set it above the utensils.

When I turned on the dishwasher, water started coming out of a light fixture on the ceiling. My aunt yelled at me to turn off the dishwasher, and to just use the dishes because they're probably clean. But I knew the truth...

So I'm frantically trying to discreetly open the dishwasher and clean everything before dinner starts. Oddly, there isnt that much poop. BUT for some reason, all the ingredients for our salad were in there! I was rinsing the salad with soap and water while urgently cleaning the utensils, all the while my fiance and my cousins walk around me.

I woke up confused and panicked as FUCK.
