Had a dream when I was 10 with a girl I didn’t know in it. We’re dating now.
I’ll try to keep this as short as possible, I have ADHD and my stories turn into ramblings most of the time.
Anyways.
When I was about 10 or so, I had this dream where me and this random girl were playing and just having fun doing kid stuff. Suddenly I got the urge to tell her “this is a dream, and I can leave whenever I want to. Isn’t that cool?”
She replied with something like “I know.”
So I said “watch this” and in the dream, I closed my eyes and opened them and I was awake (in real life).
Didn’t think much of it.
Come this past June, I was in a town about 4 hours from the one I live in, getting my drivers license photo and all that done since COVID restrictions took them out of my town.
I walked out of the DMV there, and a girl is walking her dog. The dog peed on my moms car door, and she apologized.
We talked for a bit and she asked me for my Snapchat so we could talk some more, which was a first for me since I’m a solid 3/10.
Flash forward a few days later, we’ve been talking, we like each other, decide to hang out in person. She makes the drive up to my town to spend the night.
We spent most of the night just talking about random childhood stories, and I went a grabbed my 3rd grade school picture. Then she told me she had a dream when she was younger about how she was hanging out with a boy, then he said “this is a dream” and left.
She pointed out how younger me looked almost like the kid she had a dream about those years ago.
Well I told her my story of the similar incident, and we concluded we were destined to meet.
I think we both are in agreement that it’s just a scary coincidence, but we both also feel very twilight-zone-y about it now and we aren’t sure if it is a coincidence or some weird fate stuff.
Life is weird, kiddos.

Crazy intense relationship dream that feels like a lifetime
Anyone ever had a dream where you're completely in love with someone and the entire relationship plays out through it? I just had the 2nd one I've ever had.
The first one was just a fictitious girl. She didn't actually exist. But this one is girl I know and have had a crush on as well.
Anyway dudes, I am reeling from the intensity of it. It feel like I've been asleep for 20 years. Like I have to discard these visceral, powerful memories because they're essentially nothing. It almost feels like I'll never be able to get over this.
Of course parts of me wants to just tell this girl about it but seems like a lame thing to do honestly. I'm pretty sure she has a bf these days and I don't know what the purpose would even be. Probably just a selfish thing to do.
The only place I thought I could share this with is reddit so hopefully some of you guys know the feeling. It's really depressing but I'm trying to appreciate the fact that life can even make you feel this way, especially in a dream.

Weirdest and scariest dream I’ve had
My dream started with me and my brother smoking out of a bong and my mom saw My brother hitting it and he has drug test coming up soon so she got made then next thing ik I was watching Parker (Parker is my nefu he is 1 year old) and his hand got stuck in the sidewalk somehow and I didn’t know so I picked him up and it pulled his arm off like I could see where the bone got disconnected and it was weird cause When I picked him up he weighted nothing and I didn’t feel it pull his arm off I called the cops put his arm in a cup of ice so they could reattach it (which I’ve saw on a movie I can’t remember to name but 4 friends go out in the woods to party and one is pissing and playing with a butterfly knife and his friend scares him and he chopped of his dick and they put it in ice) and I was freaking out then when the cop got there Chris (the father of my nefu) showed up and my mom and they looked at Parker and his arm was still on him and they all thought I was crazy. anyone know what this could mean. I’m kinda a lil traumatized

Have you ever had a dream where you fell in love with a stranger?
As the title suggests, I just woke up after experiencing this and feel very weird.
In my dream I was in a mall type of thing at night and this stunning japanese woman bumped into me asking if I had the time. I said yes and continued walking around this mall. A little later I found a huge set of stairs and slid all the way to the bottom on the railings.
At the bottom of the stairs, the girl from earlier was there and timidly asked me if I wanted to grab some food with her. I said yes immediately.
I then remember spending some time talking to her about random stuff, but finding her more and more interesting and attractive. Her friends were cool and played in a weird funk-metal kind of band and asked if I wanted to be involved.
After talking she asked if I wouldn’t mind walking her up to apartment as it was super late. I of course obliged and went with her. After arriving she invited me in and I remember her place being absolutely huge and overlooking whatever city this dream was supposed to be in.
We talked some more about what her future plans were and how similar our goals were. It got to the point where we were close and kissing and eventually slept together. I just remember there being this weird warmth in my chest whilst this happening, and it felt like nothing I had experienced before.
After waking up from this, I feel almost hollow and honestly kind of depressed. I can still remember how she smelt and how I felt when she looked me in the eyes.
The fucked up part of this is that I’ve been dating someone for the past 6 months or so, and after this dream, dare I say that I feel less close to her?
Has anyone else experienced something like this? What does it mean? Is it my mind telling the girl I’m with isn’t the right one for me? I’m so confused.

Just woke up feeling so guilty :(
Such a bad dream. I was at the river, there was an event going on with a ton of people. A kid came up to me and showed me their guinea pig, which I played with for a while. Then I had to leave and the kid traded for their pet tarantula. As I held it, I just thought it was the cutest thing ever. When I got home I put it in the aquarium (where another tarantula lived but for some reason I thought my bf had let it out to wander around? Idk). Then I realized both tarantulas were now in the aquarium and I felt a sudden panic, cause I knew my bf's tarantula was hungry. Before I could save the new spider the other one was doing her happy dance (that she does after she eats) and she attacked. I watched in horror as she killed the other one. They didnt even fight, she just pounced and sunk her fangs into it :( at one point they were both wandering around and I was like oh thank god, I gotta get it out. Then it was as if she had dialogue and I could hear her say, I thought I killed you, and knock the other one down and "stab" it with her fangs. I just thinking omg I'm gonna have to replace this kids spider.
Anyway then I woke up feeling horrible and uneasy. There was more to the dream, including a large man stealing a lot of stuff from the people at the river, and when I told him "fuck you" he said a really funny comeback about me not being fuckable. I wish I could remember it exactly.
Thanks for reading, just wanted to jot this down lol
