What are possible meanings for dreams of new york?

When a place such as NYC is a setting or reference in a dream, begin deciphering the symbolism by thinking of your associations with the place. New York is a city of glamor, wealth, and opportunity. You might dream about being in New York when you have been the center of attention, are thinking about money, or are looking for a job opportunity. New York is the center of many industries, such as fashion, media, publishing, and finance. People looking for opportunities or recognition in those fields can dream about NYC in relation to that desire.

For example, an author has a recurring dream about flying to NYC. She never actually makes it to the city. All of the dreams involve getting to the airport, buying a ticket, and finding the correct terminal. In her waking life the author is trying to find a publisher, as symbolized in her dreams by trying to fly to NYC. She seeks a “ticket” to the next stage of her career.

Of course, NYC has its down side, too. It’s crowded. It’s dirty. It’s ruthless. Those associations can be used to create dream symbolism. For example, lately you have taken some hard knocks from life, and they manifest in your dreams as walking through a tough Bronx neighborhood at night.

Because of the attacks of September 11 and the powerful impression made on the individual and collective psyche, NYC is associated with tragedy and terror and a symbol of being attacked, but also with resilience and defiance. The events of September 11 were viewed on television by billions of people, and dreams can use the city as a symbol of being attacked or witnessing it. For example, you see a schoolmate get ruthlessly bullied, or witness an incident of senseless road rage, and dream about such things as a plane flying into a building.

Weird dream about a place

Last night I dreamed I was in high school again and I specifically saw the location was Buffalo (weird I know) and I assume that’s Buffalo, New York. I also saw a name in my dream as well, it was the person I was hanging out with the entire dream. That’s all I remember.

I woke up unreasonably happy with the dream. I have no idea why.

Help with dream interpretation

I’m at home (I live in the UK) when everyone is surprised by the news that China (I lived in China for a few years, not sure if that’s relevant to the dream meaning) has released an atom bomb heading to New York (never been) there’s fear that other countries are going to all start getting involved leading to a nuclear war. In the dream I watch the bomb travel past overhead with many antibomb missiles firing and failing to bring it down. Maybe I was thinking subconsciously of the Fallout games or a video a few months ago on YouTube about what would happen in a nuclear attack. I woke up before the bomb reached America.
Looking online there’s a few interpretations about the atom bomb but the most common is repressed feelings. I do have repressed feelings but not ones of anger which was suggested on one of the websites.
Any idea what any of the dream could mean or is it just random stuff from the past few months? I’m interested in dream interpretation because I find with most of the interpretations I can relate to

I was Donald Trump's best friend and I got him re-elected in 2020.

So yeah, as the Title says I was best friends with Donald Trump.
We were just casually walking through Central Park (NYC).
I don't remember what we were talking about but we just had a good time.

So the year was 2020 and it was Election night.
And I don't know how to explain the following but I'll try.
So, this version of the US in my dream had its last "traditional" election in 1960
when JFK was elected. This "last traditional" election was a regular US-election, nothing special.

But since 1960 the USA "evolved" and elections these days run a bit differently.

You see, in order to get elected president you have to win a race. The Presidential Race.
And yeah, race as in race. It was literally a race you had to win in order to become President.

But the thing in this Universe is that the Presidents don't race themselves.
They appoint people that do the races for them. Those people will then be Vice President.

So Donald told me that his last runner, Mike Pence, suffered from an injury the moring before Election Night.

Then he appointed me to be his runner. I said I couldn't win against all the other guys (the other Presidential
candidates had appointed some really good Olympic athletes).

Donald just gave me a pat on the back and told me "I could do it if I believed in it".

Then I began to run but I can't remember anything abou the race itself. It just skipped to the end and Donald was
President for his 2nd term... Then I woke up.

And that's basically it. Make of that what you want :/

So yeah, as the Title says I was best friends with Donald Trump.

(TW) Dream about being drugged and raped, unable to contact my partner

This is rare for me, as I have certainly been sexually assaulted but never raped. Last night I had a bit of an emotional time but went to sleep watching Naruto, so I can’t exactly understand why I had such a vivid dream about experiencing rape.
I recently moved away from NYC, and in my dream I was returning. I saw all my friends, said hi to everyone, and saw my boyfriend. Next thing I know, I remember flashes of a party (seemingly a sex party, which in my real life I have nothing against) but I woke up in my dream in an expensive penthouse with an older woman. I went into the bathroom and opened my phone to find a very disturbing video of me being raped both with my own sex toys and physically, while I was completely out. It was so vivid it makes my heart pump as I type this
In my dream, I remembered doing drugs at a different club and somehow ending up at said party, but I suppose it was a sort of date rape type thing.
I was completely unable to contact my partner as he wasn’t replying or answering, and I couldn’t find him anywhere.
Once I woke up the first thing I did was call him in real life and cry. We live across the country from one another, so I’m wondering if perhaps this is just my stress and feeling of powerlessness/being away from him, but I wonder why it would happen out of nowhere.

Does anyone have experience with this or know why it would come out of the blue?

Woke up an hour ago and I’m still shaking

So it’s like 5am here and now I’m wide awake so I just want to write the nightmare down.

First of all I feel like tonight has been dragging on forever, I went to bed at 12:30 and I keep waking up every so often. I finally fell asleep at some point. I had a dream that my boyfriend and I were walking around an unrecognizable street at night. It looked like typical tall brick buildings with dark alleyways, like New York in movies. At first the dream was just some random, funny dream things happening. There was no one out except for us, and then at one point we saw a guy walking somewhere and I remember feeling relieved like “At least we’re not the only ones out here.”

Then we decided to go home. For some reason I had taken off my shoes somewhere and when we went back to the spot only one was there. The flashlight on my phone wasn’t working so I couldn’t look for it in the dark street. That was creepy but mostly annoying at the time. I commented to my BF how dark it was and for some reason we couldn’t/didn’t check what time it was. That was dream-me responding to daylight saving time haha. I can’t tell if it 6pm or 3am.

Anyway, we saw the guy from earlier walk past us and comment like “Did I leave you guys out too long?” Which didn’t make sense in the dream or now. Maybe he was saying we only stayed out longer because we saw him still walking around. I don’t know. We start heading down the street because there’s a school campus that’s well lit. The guy is following us but is ahead of us. For some reason we were walking so close behind him. He kept asking the same question. My boyfriend and I looked at each other nervously and he shook his head once, quietly saying “Don’t answer him.”

I got a terrible feeling in my stomach saying turn around and run _now_ and just as I felt that the guy turned to face us, the dream skipped a second or two, and the next thing I saw was blood pouring from a knife wound in my boyfriends stomach. He was partly between me and the guy, holding his pocket knife and the guy was holding his bloody one. It looked like my BF had reacted just a second too late. He seemed pretty sure that hope was lost for him because he immediately started saying calmly but firmly, “I’m sorry babe I love you, run to a hospital just run.” Simultaneously I was trying to get the pocket knife from his hand to try and injure the guy myself but his grip was so tight on it and I kept yelling “Babe give me the knife!” I woke up just as I’d wrenched the pocket knife free, my heart was pounding so hard I almost couldn’t breathe because my neck felt so thick and my ears were ringing. I wasn’t sweating but I had hot flashes that lasted a few minutes and I was shaking violently. It’s not the scariest dream, but I’ve never reacted so physically to a violent dream before. Usually I’m the one getting hurt or chased in a dream so seeing it happen to my boyfriend...I’m still upset by it.

So it’s like 5am here and now I’m wide awake so I just want to write the nightmare down.
