I had a dream that I was a man and was a pirate aswel. The strange thing was there was two of us. We looked the same but we were different people. We both took over this wooden, massive ship. It looked like it was dated the area of 1700's area at persia maybe or the Mediterranean. Not sure..
I recalled being in the captain quarters, I was hiding there away from the other members of the pirate. Since I wasn't allowed to be here. But the man who was captain that looked like me, was protecting me. I recalled being very olive skin and dark brown so e what curly hair and we'll built. The captain quarters was masjsve. A big huge bed, and everything was beautiful even the duvet was sew nicely with golden stitching.
I recalled wearing a dark green robe with gold stich patterns on it.

One thing I recalled in the dream was me peering through the door from the captain's quarters and saw this little child that was tan and black hair, been taken for a bath but didn't want a bath. I saw the other me the captain following the child. I had urge sense to save the child as if it was my child.

Unfinished nightmare

Hello Reddit. I just woke up from a nightmare and felt I needed closure. This was a nightmare I'd rather have sat through than stopped halfway.

I was responsible for the well-being of a dog. I love animals quite a bit so it seemed like a good dream at first. Then, by some circumstances I cannot remember I got in trouble with pirates that took me and the dog prisoner. We landed at a dock and I was being held back. They lifted the dog out of the boat and I had to beg them to just knock the dog unconscious instead of killing it. They were kind enough to do so and, after a few hits, the sounds of which I can still hear clearly, the dog was out and thrown on the floor. I woke up with an image of an unconscious dog laying on the dock and hysterically repeating the words "I'm sorry". I had been crying in my sleep and I still am, sort of. Trying to hold it back for now since I'm at my parents'.

Thanks for reading this. I just needed to write this down and share with someone.

Chaotic Neutral type dream

So the dream spawns w me in my bed texting my ex, I guess in the dream we got back together but anyways I got out of bed to go take a shower. And as I walk into the bathroom I see that I had grown breasts, like B cup sized and its oddly... comforting. I wasn't horny or anything it just gave me a sense of relief which I thought was weird. But I take a shower and I didn't tell my ex so she texts me something about "Oh so you're just gonna stop texting me, I see how it is" which is really akin to her character which is why I stopped seeing her but I text her that i'm just gonna take a shower so i'll brb. I do what I need to do and when I get out, my entire family bursts into the bathroom or at least everyone who lives in the same house as me. I quickly put on a towel but no one really acknowledges me except for my mom (who im just gonna tell you now is ftm trans but im going to say mom to avoid confusion because they're in this dream alot) but my dad says something about my little sister being ill and then my little sister says she wants to my play WoW, but then they all leave except my mom. I wanted to tell them about the breast thing but I didn't because i was scared about what they would think, so we kinda just starred at each other for a little while until they said something which I don't remember. Then my toilet catches on fire which I thought was pretty funny so I posted it online. But then I hear sirens, really loud ones, and I walk out of the bathroom to hear blood curdling screams of people caught on fire, and people yelling at them like cops or something, I wanted to look at them but it was blocked by a weird purple wall, like techno material from gmod but purple. I told my mom but they just told me to ignore it and it would go away. Anyways I go downstairs to see the place lit up my candles, now that I think about it I woke up really late. But I turn to see that everyone was watching a movie, I tell everyone that the people on fire where behind our house but they still ignored me. I then started to regurgitated some weird substance that tasted like mucus (probably cause I was asleep) that had the consistency of chewed up pie crust, I kept swishing water to hopefully get it out over the sink and it eventually just disappeared. But then I told my family that I was going to go help those people, they ignored me like usual so I went outside to turn to the street where everyone would be but no one was there. My dream then cuts to me swimming as a fish, giant boats everywhere and it was really hard to swim, but I eventually sunk and found this weird lsd place, like pirates making lsd under water. Thats when my mom showed up as a squid. We then both flew out of the water, I think because one of us turned into a seagull or something, but we flew over the other boats until we landed on this one yacht thing that seemed to have an artificial beach on it that seemed to carry us away because my mom had turned into a jelly fish and I didn't want to loose them so grabbed onto their tentacles. The waves carried us to this one place that seemed to be a motel on the yacht, with piles of carcasses of dead pandas and squids, brimming with maggots and parasites. And the people around us didnt care. But thats where my dream ended, what does it mean?

Boating to an island with a small group of people

The dream started out on the water in a regular lookin motorboat that could gain a bit of speed. I was with about 3 other people that are unrecognizable to me irl but I felt comfortable with them. We drove around the water until we found a strange island the had 6 planes of levels on it. I heard a message coming from the island, "where are you gonna put your house?" It reminded me of the video game animal crossing. I said enthusiastically, "aw yes animal crossing lets go there!" We docked the boat and quickly made it to the top level where there was a small little village with strange colored "snow" on the ground. It wasn't cold outside at all but this stuff crunched beneath my feet and covered most of the area. I saw strange little characters through out the island but they seemed inanimate. We looked at the boat at the dock bobbing there and one of my friends stated "look there's pirates". In the distance there was a group of about 10 people on a tightly packed somewhat slow moving moat with what seemed like a speedboat scout with 2 people aboard the moved past our docked boat. We recognized that they wanted to steal our boat. Apparently this was common in these waters yet we didn't precaution this event. A friend had flares in a bag and I had a flare gun, I grabbed one flare and loaded the gun to try and shoot the pirates. I woke up before I shot them.
