I was given the wrong dream

I was in this battle arena map and there was a bunch of military guys running around climbing up on these cliffs and jumping off of them. Then in the dream a guy appeared in my vision and said "sorry! I gave you the wrong dream! Won't happen again!" He then disappeared and map appeared in my vision that was a schematic plan of the dream. The dream soon ended after.

I almost want to say this is close to lucid dreaming? I've been trying for a while now and I've been getting these really weird ones.

Sneezing blood and staining my shirt (pls help me interpret)

CONTEXT:

19F, USA. Ex and I don’t talk and I’m in a very happy relationship with my bf I’ve been dating for 1 year & 1/2. But I do think about my ex sometimes, but definitely NOT in that way. I just think about the past a lot in general.

DREAM:

I was friends with Jim Halpert and was hanging with the whole “The Office” cast. It was night and I sat near Jim and we were in some kind of hallway in a church. It was dim with blue lights. It felt like we were going to preform of some kind of musical or dance. I was talking to the whole cast like we were all friends, but across the room was my ex and his now gf with the cast of parks & rec. Me and him kept making eye contact but tbh I just felt curious and jealous he was there with me. I didn’t feel like I cared much about his gf.

I started to pick my nose and then I sneezed and a LOT of blood came out and stained my whole shirt. It looked like I killed someone. I believe it was a white shirt if that mattered, and I told Jim I was going to the rest room to change and had a whole bag already prepared to change. I put on a yellow shirt that was paired with a purple tennis skirt. I went back out and sat with Jim.

I dreamed I saw a dead friend, who told me I would die on the anniversary of her death.

I had a good friend who died last year on October 17th. She dated one of my good friends and as such we grew close. Important Characters are Me, my friend Kyle, my friend Roy, my deceased friend Rose, and another friend Alisha.The nightmare is as follows.

It started with me, my siblings, and my mom packing up her car. We were seemingly leaving and trying to do so in a hurry. But I got the impression we took to long, and when we began to pull out of the driveway we hit my friend Kyle's car as he was trying to pull into the carport. We canceled our plans to leave and me and Kyle decided to drive to what I think was a high-school reunion.

We arrived at the event, and it was almost like a chapel/gym hybrid with large windows towards the front of the room. I saw most of the people that I went to high school with conversing and interacting with each other. I saw my friend Roy who was our senior class president cutting up pineapple and putting it into a drink. He said he didn't have enough pineapple and me and my friends laughed at him for it. Now the nightmare/dream starts.

I walked outside for some fresh air, and when I came back I saw my friend Rose, who is dead, and my friend Alisha who is alive. They both looked like spirits however. I asked Rose how I could see her, and asked if I was going to die soon. She said yes I was going to die, she started becoming more solid. I asked her if she could as God of I could live longer. She said that she would ask but its going to happen anyway. She started getting more solid, so I left the room to try and escape my death.

As I walked into the foyer to escape, a blonde skinny teenager came in. He pulled out a gun, and I was shot with either lightning, or the gun. I don't know which but I felt myself dying. I was then teleported to a city block where I saw a newspaper on the road. I picked it up and it had a picture of me, saying I died on October 17th. The day was Friday. I woke up and wrote the dream my journal quickly. I then went back to sleep, and had a dream where me and rose went to Wendy's just like we used too when she was alive. I ordered her food and we hung out.

That was the end of it, and it's not as scary as some experience. But I woke up sweating and scared. Thanks for listening.

I cried, it was so freaking horrifying.

⚠️Warning: this may freak you out, so just prepare yourself if you are one to be scared easily. ⚠️

My nightmare was set up in the country. Not much people, not much drama. I was kidnapped and taken to this house where there was nothing but grass for miles. No trees, or animals, or anything. Just grass. With a decently small house plopped mid-center. When I was walked into the house, there was an around 30 year old male in the dining room, praying. But it wasn’t like a normal pray like you would imagine it to be. He was praying to the people that had died in that house. He was afraid they might do something to him “again.” The dining room was to the left. The bathroom was no more than four feet in front of the front entrance. And the living room was to the right. Very small, comfy, country house-like building. There was also a women in the living room just relaxing on the couch. She was staring at the tv, of course my dream wasn’t that detailed so I don’t know what was on, but I know she was watching it. The kidnappers sat me down on the couch next to her. I didn’t say anything, I didn’t do anything. I just sat there, watching the tv with her. It was one of those houses where you could just *feel* the spirits that were haunting it. It was terrible. Anyways, then, I had to use the restroom. It was incredibly small. You took one step in and to the right was the toilet and left was the sink. That’s it. You had room to stand between the two and nothing more. There were mirrors above both the toilet and the sink. So, I did what I need to do and sat down. I had my palms against my forehead. And suddenly *EVERYTHING* turns absolutely pitch black. Silent and I could feel the pounding of my heart in the dream and in real life. Blood is not dripping from every crack and corner of the ceiling. It was gory as crap. Then, pale arms and hands with the brightest red nail polish I’ve ever seen start to grasp my knees. I hear “You’ll find us where you least expect it” in a whispering, faint, women’s voice. No one was talking to me, I didn’t see any faces; it was as if there were a speaker in the bathroom. Then, I woke up. I immediately went to the bathroom. Somehow wasn’t freaked out by that, but I could NOT look into the mirror. I poured my eyes out. It was, jeez. Don’t have a word for that.

Thank you for reading. Feel free to share any alike experiences :)

I dreamed about killing and slicing someone limb from limb

Hello guys can someone here can translate a dream? Coz I had a weird dream just right now.
My dream was about my girlfriend telling me that someone that I know harassed her months ago. And I was so mad that she didn't told me this right after the guy did this. After knowing that, I brought a knife and went to the guy's location and kill him. I cut his body parts limb from limb and I was so satisfied on what I'm doing. Im not even scared or anything it's so weird. After killing him, I just leave his body and remove my fingerprints on that particular house. After doing that I realize that the house where I killed him was the apartment that my family we're living 2 years ago and I was shocked when I saw my dad there looking at the window and staring at the body I killed. He's not mad and has no reaction. Also I remember that I wasn't really planning to kill the guy, I just want to cut his arms. When I did cut his arm, I think about that I might go to jail if he survives and tell everyone who did this to him so I just chopped his body. that's when I woke up. Please can someone translate it? I'm so anxious about this and I really have a bad feeling like I'm so nervous when I woke up
