COVID shot

So last night before I fell asleep I asked the Lord for guidance to show me I was on the right path in life, which was meant towards a career change. What I dreamt that night was guidance for sure but not in the type I had asked for being as I wasn’t specific. This guidance seems much more important.

Here is my 1st dream:

I walked into a lab where they were creating this “vaccine”, I went there with the intent to get it, guided by my parents whom had already had the shot. I looked over at them and said, “No! I don’t want to take it anymore, something is not right here.” The people In the lab started chasing after me and my mom and dad were running with me. We ran down what seemed like tons of flights of stairs to finally exit the building and make it outside. It’s starting to get dark and to make sure we are safe I run further out into the streets, I look up to see the building we had been in which is a huge tower like building. Lights start to turn on in certain parts of the building that spells out the word “FREE”

I wake up. It’s 3:33 AM. I use the restroom. I lay back down and fall back asleep only to have a similar dream.

This time we are at what seems to be the same building. This time there’s more of my family. And a friend of mine whom also doesn’t want the shot. Everyone wants to go to a big party. But not everyone can go because they all don’t have the shot. So all of a sudden a helicopter flies up to one of the windows and yells at us to get in that they will fly us to get the vaccine and then everything will be good and we can all go to this party. My friend and I know that’s not truth. I watch my brother in law jump into the plane. And then my friend and I drives away…then I awoke.

So last night before I fell asleep I asked the Lord for guidance to show me I was on the right path in life, which was meant towards a career change. What I...

Looking for opinions and thoughts on this Nightmare.

So, I'll describe the dream with the brief details and little narrative that I remember. No matter how strange

So I remember being in some kind of large house which was an orphanage? Or something of the sort, for some reason that old cartoon, fosters home for imaginary friends comes to mind.
I remember a lot of random children being there, I didn't recognise any of them.
I was an authority in this house, as I remember helping some of the kids and they were asking me things etc etc. (only mundane everyday things).
Anyways, a bit 'later' two little girls were starting to complain about a boy, he was a bit older than the both of them. He was abusing them and being really nasty to them.
When I went to confront him I remember catching him trying to bite the arm of the little girl(I'm not sure if he actually managed to take a chunk or not). His mouth was opened extremely wide like a snakes. At which point the dream quickly devolved into a nightmare, I chased off this little boy, but he was suddenly some kind of monster(demon?).

I chased it out of the house that I don't recall the layout of into the back garden which I immediately recognised as my fathers garden. At which point my brother appeared in the upstairs window shouting ''You have to get the 'Gremlin' out!''.

As I was approaching this monster, the little boys face and form were in a constant state of shift. Had black eyes and a cavernous black mouth. Eventually turning into some sort of dog. As I got closer the monster dog was trying to escape, I remember using some sort of superhuman strength to knock something over to block it's path at which point it lunged at me. That's when I woke up.

I was super creeped out for a while after waking up but, I'm not sure what to make of it!
The details I remember most are the black eyes and mouth/weird face on the monster.

Any opinions are welcome!

Sex cult dream

What is so freaking weird.. I had a sex cult dream yesterday 6-13-20 around 6pm... Well I ACTUALLY WANTED to join it in the dream..Well.... I walked down a dirt road or path... I walked to the right... And there was a open gate.. there was a chain hanging on it to my left... I rattled it to let my presence be known. The right hand of the cult immediately put her hand I believe on my throat... And I said "I want to join your cult. Let me rephrase that, I wanna join your coven." My cat woke me up right after I said that. These were mostly women.. and they were all in black cloaks. The leader was a woman. I remember thinking that I wanted to be the leader.... But I decided to write it down, bc it was so vivid... I looked it up and came across this one post this dude posted 6 yrs ago On here somewhere...But isn't it weird... The holy Trinity and it's on the 13th. Well.. let.. me know what you think

apocalypse dream

I dont remember everything from it, But I remember a glowing river of bright yellow and smaller shades of purple. Around it, everything grey, rubble, ruins, broken down buildings. Lifeless environment. Some people were there out surviving just like I was. I remember speaking to someone on a sidewalk with streetlights that still worked for some reason.

Why Satan was scared

Wow I just woke up from the most absurd dream I think I have ever seen. It was formed like a bollywood musical with song and romance and other shit. The villain of the movie was Satan but he was always running away and hiding from view. His nemesis was a young innocent girl who believed in God & tried to prove his existence to everyone.

So satan lived on for years in disguise amongst people leading them on the path of sin but he was so afraid of being discovered that he could never be in his true form ( burly six pack but without any outer layer of skin , only red muscle visible) but god would occasionally walk the earth and no one would notice because he was dressed like a pauper and was so frail and short.

In the final moments of the dream I witnessed a monologue that Satan was having with himself. He said that he denied his own existence in the world because he knew that if people actually believed in Satan then the majority of the world, (who was by this time atheist) would leave their belief and start believing in God. And since it would be an action with fear of Satan as a motivator for leaning on to god, then Satan would be wiped off the face of the earth.

So he would rather deny his own existence and be able to influence a few people every day & lead them into crime & brutality . He feared power and being recognised because that would mean everyone rushing to God (in the beginning of the dream satan mentioned everyone is inherently divine but had a great propensity for evil since most people are unaware of their own divinity)

And as for god, he didn't want to end it & expose satan. God in the dream was unaffected by Satan and didn't want to end or expose him because God couldn't harm anyone, not even Satan because harm was not a divine quality but an evil one.

I think watching Bird Box and Bandersnatch on the same day might have influenced my dream. What do you think? Any comments?
