What are possible meanings for dreams of numbers?
In meaningful dreams, every detail is related to the dream-story and the dreamer. Nothing is random, so there are reasons you dream about specific numbers. It’s a subject that can reach great depth. Here is a brief overview.
When you dream about a number related to a grouping, such as three dogs or five babies, ask yourself whether it connects with something in your life. For example, three dogs might represent three friends. Five babies might represent five projects you call your “babies.”
A ten-story building might represent your life at age ten. Each year of your life builds on the previous years, just as floors of a building build on the ones below.
Numbers are part of many aspects of our world that can be referred to by dreams: addresses, phone numbers, bank accounts. Dreams are often quite clever in the ways they make these references.
For example, let’s say that you work in television production and have aspirations to move up in the profession. You have a dream about finding thirty rocks. The dream is oddly specific about the number thirty. You sense that it has significance. Then it hits you: 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York! It’s the Mecca of network television production in the US. Understanding that reference can be used to decipher the rest of the dream, because now you know it’s related to your profession.
Numbers can be used to create an impression, as opposed to a specific meaning. For example, to most people the number 459,824 is a simply a big number and can mean “abundance.” Whereas the number “two” is small, especially if it’s how many dollars you have in your pocket!
In numerology, numbers have spiritual and cosmic significance. It takes an expert to explain how numerology works, but it doesn’t take an expert to recognize the significance of numbers in your dreams. It’s something you intuit and feel. With some searching of the internet you can find many resources, and when you find something that explains the significance of a number in your dreams, you will feel a ping of recognition.

Had my first night terror the other night
Nervous to fall asleep again tonight.
The dream started innnocently enough, the details are vague, but at some point I started getting calls on my cell phone from a number listed as "Bad Man, Do Not Answer". This person was blowing up my phone and sending me thretening messages, so much so that I moved to another country to get away. They messaged me angry that I was avoiding them, and asked where I was, then told me they found me and were on their way. Then they linked a video to my discord, and I started watching, and once I did I couldnt stop watching no matter where I looked. The video was from what seemed to be a drone's perspective, following a strange man running through the country side, unnaturally fast, wearing like a green leotard, like one of those greenscreen suits. He ran until he came upon a tunnel, and he kept running until he came across another person. He then violently murdered that person, smashing their face into the side of the tunnel wall, before looking into the camera with empy eye sockets.
Thats where I woke up from the sounds of my own screams. Spooky stuff.

What Does A Recurring Nightmare Mean?
For the last 8 years of my life I have had the exact same nightmare once every year. Doesn't matter what time of the year but only once in that year and it's really creepy. The nightmare goes like this and every time there's a slight change. I'll mention the most notable ones but they always start and end the same way: the in between is also extremely similar with maybe one or two changes.
1. It always starts off with me opening my eyes in a black room and then it shifts into third person in a black and white city and I'm on a roof
2. I start jumping from roof to roof and I'm always screaming to see *someone*. I don't know who.
3. I get in some sort of vehicle with a faceless person (the person I was looking for) and we just kinda teleport to some stall selling coloured oranges because everything else is black and white and the person with me begins to develop the face of someone from my family. Then they pick up an orange and get poisoned by it and die
4. I wake up in a coloured city this time and then I get teleported into the same black room I was in before but this time there's floating numbers. I reach the numbers 100 and then I just die. Flat out die just like that.
Then I always wake up and I always instinctively walk out of my bedroom. Always the same. The only difference is the person who gets 'poisoned'. What the hell does this mean? I'm not scared of the dream anymore since I've become aware of it but it just creeps me out.

Dream about having sex with my younger brother for some damn reason
So I'm using a throwaway account for very obvious reasons. And also this happened a couple years back.
I'm a 21 yo girl and my bro is 2 years younger than me. We are very close and always have been. We go on vacations together just the two of us and generally are very open with each other about anything. I'd call him one of my best friends and I'm sure he'd do the same. We even have matching sibling tattoos.
Now in the dream we were having this really low key situation where we'd occasionally hook up from time to time. Everytime we did it, I was really annoyed with him and at numerous occasions even got mad at him. I never felt turned on for a second. The dream ended by me finding out he didn't use a condom and I got so mad that we agreed to just not do this ever again.
The dream, or anything like it never happened again since but this has disturbed me for a number of years now. I do not - in any way whatsoever - think of him in a sexual kinda way. I'm a lesbian and we both know that. I have since accepted that my subconcious mind was probably going through some emotions related to him that night (maybe we had a fight or something like that, I really don't remember) and that's why this horrible image was created but now that I've found this sub I'd like some insight into what you think caused it (and maybe any tips on how to avoid this happening ever again).
Cheers guys!

Dreamt about a number in my pocket and texted it
I had a dream the other day that I was in Japan and didn’t have a phone. I couldn’t find my friend (not sure who it was). It was getting dark so I was trying to find someone who spoke English to let me use their phone. I was wandering around and saw a Rosicrucian temple and went inside to use the phone. In my pocket I had a phone number written on a piece of paper. Then I woke up. I vividly remembered the number and a lot of details from this dream and something told me to text it in waking life. I said “hey” and they asked “who is this?” I explained that I had a dream where I was trying to call this number. They told me that they where just reading about lucid dreaming as they received the text.
What do you think the significance of this is?
