In simplest terms, an overdose means “too much,” and while that’s commonly associated with drugs, dreams can apply the symbolism broadly. For example, eating too much in one meal is an overdose. Binge-watching is an overdose. Spending too much time with someone is an overdose. It’s too much of a good thing.

Overdose is associated with situations that get out of hand. It’s something you can’t stop yourself from doing, taking things too far.

It can symbolize danger.

It can reflect fear for yourself or someone in your life related to drug use. While dreams are often oblique with their messages, sometimes they are direct—especially when it comes to reflecting fears or drawing attention to something that is overlooked.

Need help interpreting a dream

To start things off im not a religious person but my mother was. My mother was a very spiritual person and was into sansteria. She passed away this past August due to an accidental overdose. She and I didn't have the best of relationships growing up, due to me being an angsty teen unwilling to accept her religion that she wanted me to be an active member and partake in her rituals and stuff. Now with the dream. At the beginning of the dream I was in a white space, where I was walking endlessly for what felt like quite some time, and suddenly things started fading to black. The darker it became the more I started to sink into the ground. Once It had become completely black, pitch black, it felt like I was floating in thick, dark, cold water. The cold and darkness of the water was like something I had never experienced in my life. The deeper I got, the darker and colder it got. At some point figures started to appear. 3 figures, who where also pitch black, were covered in some dark purple, dark blueish mist. They were staring at me, just standing there while I continued to float. At some point a voice started talking to me. It was a soothing, manipulative male voice telling me to give into the pain. Into the fear and anguish I felt at that time. I suddenly became enraged, which I never do since I dont want to hurt someone, but this rage was felt like something more than I could handle, like a lifetime full of emotions suddenly turned into rage. The male voice kept telling me to become one with it and to let it consume me. Thats when the scariest part of the dream happened. I heard my mothers voice, clear as day. Keep in mind she's no longer with us, but it sounded like she was outside of a locked room, yelling my name, in an urgency that during my lifetime I had never heard before. This went on until I woke up. As I said I'm not a religious person but this dream has made me questioned some things. If anyone could help interpret this dream I would be gladly appreciative. Thanks to anyone who reads this and I hope you have a nice rest of your day.

committed suicide in dream and saw my family by my body as a ghost

Last night I had this horribly sad dream/nightmare of committing suicide and coming back as a ghost.... It left me crying when I woke up, please reply if you know what this means

My dream began with me committing suicide via overdose on impulse, just because the opportunity was there. I found myself awake even though i just died.. odd feeling. Then I felt myself float upwards off of the ground and when I looked down I saw a glimpse of my body only to look away immediately. And suddenly like I hadn't noticed them there before my family was in the hallway looking at my body. They were shocked especially my dad... I went over to them to show them that I was there but I couldn't touch them..they didn't even notice I was there. I tried to pick up my baby sister to comfort her but she slid right through my arms. At this point I was sobbing and regretting my death so bad. I couldn't even look at my body..it made me feel nauseous. So there I was crying and thinking of all the things I couldn't do anymore, wishing that it was a dream.. hoping that that wasn't my reality and then.. I woke up. Please tell me if you might now what this means because it felt so real and it genuinely impacted me... (ps- if it changes the dream meaning I have attempted before and I still struggle with depression to this day though I've been getting into spirituality recently)

Bizarre Discord Dream

so hi! my name is elliott and i will be sharing my friend’s dream. she gave me full permission to take her message and place it here bc she is very awkward (hehe). please be nice bc this is the first time i use reddit.

LEGENDS AND BACKGROUND

owner of the dream (OD) = my friend who had the dream

DF (distant friend) = a friend who we (OD and I) are very close to but unfortunately, switched sections in school. we are currently participating in online school so we couldnt get to see them and we have no contact.

NOTE: my friend talked to me so when she said “you” it refers to me. hopefully thats clear :D

“Ok this is where it kind of gets weird so basically DF is in this discord server, there are a lot of colorful things (Not really sure what they are) and then it pans the screen to reveal that it’s your username, like in the bottom left you can see your username but instead of mine, it was yours.” - OD in our discord server (copy and pasted)

i dont think much ppl will come and interpret this dream but if you could provide one, please do comment! im curious. (hopefully im not annoying haha)

also if you want to ask for more details, please ask in the comments and i will ask her :)

Awful nightmare, but possibly simple explanation.

TW: suicide.

Chased by bad guy clearly trying to do me in, lots of terror. At the end of the dream someone was showing me cards with the benefits of killing myself on and enabling suicide, which I agreed to and overdosed. I felt relaxed at the end, but woke up so distressed I cried and got my toddler out of bed for a hug. I didn't sleep from 5am (used to that with a toddler) but it's been a pretty bad day mentally and I'm worried about it.

We are having a kitchen built at the moment and it's stress central. I think this dream was about the stressful situation coming to the end (we're fitting it tomorrow), the bad guy being the situation, the suicide me killing the old me/bad situation.

Not sure why I'm posting!

Evil OM Chanting

Hey guys it's my first time here, i don't believe in esoteric things but sometimes i find it interesting to study.
Well i just dreamed a while ago, i was dreaming that i was in an old empty room that looked like an abandoned one with a bed, i layed to sleep too in a dream and suddenly evil voices began to chant OM, you know those one that buddhist monks do. But it was both male and female voices, many of them and they were very very scary and they only get stronger and stronger in frequency getting worse, scary, laughing and so on. Felt like this is what you hear in hell guys. It was so bad i thought my psyche wouldn't resist it felt like they were driving me insane on purpose. Now a funny moment but not less scary.. while all this shit happened i felt a few times orgasms each time stronger, but it was like a self destruction feeling i thought i would die of overdose and then i opened my eyes that were wet.. what the.. did just happened to me?
