gold alien, insect, galaxy

i dream I saw this alien insect. it was gold and seemed like steampunk but not with gears. It was a combination of praying mantis with a pointy head, and a beak and the back looked like it had extra legs, like a scorpion. the eyes didn't have lids nor it blinked, it seemed like a statue. very fluid. it was computing at this floor design, which was actually a galaxy. as i got closer to it, i noticed it was zapping humans from different planets and reprograming. i got very close to it and i wanted it to stop what it was doing as i thought it was bad. it turned towards me and it made me scared. it didnt speak but i understood it. it said: let things be. just observe. and then i got pulled back to see that there were others like it and different ones, all doing things to galaxies...

The Final 9th Hour (Religious dream)

Last week, I had a dream that was quite strange. I couldn’t remember all of it, but what I gathered was that it was set in Biblical times. There was a quote that popped up in red lettering that said something along the lines of “Jesus will return in 300 years, where will you be on the final 9th hour?”, and then I woke up.

I Googled the Ninth Hour, and apparently it is a time in the evening when people of the Christian faith pray (3PM). I found this strange and interesting because I have never heard of this phrase before, and I also wouldn’t consider myself religious. What do you think this could mean?

A yacht that never went back, it only went under!

I was first at a casino up a tower! I always won against people in poker that they feared to face me knowing they'd lose thier money! New people would come in and gamble all thier money challenging me! They lose and end up crying!

I leave the casino to go pray in the mosqou, i meet 2 men who run the mosquo and they tell me the mosquo's location has changed, they said too many things that i forgot what they said!

I forgot and went to the old location just to find a yacht in a sea or an ocean! I said why not hop on the yacht, anyway it will come back!

When i was on the yacht i saw islands, all the places i've been to before, it felt like a flashback of my life!

Then no more islands, it started to get darker yet darker!

Suddenly the yacht flips like 70 degree leaving me holding into it with only my head not submerged into water!

The yacht flips back to normal with a creepy annoucer voice aplogizing for the accident! At the same time a robot that looks like a creepy version of TEDD (check call of duty black ops 2's TEDD) appeared on an upper plane of the yacht, the voice seems it came from him then he disapeared! (also he seemed he was pulling down a string that caused something to emit steam, it was like the cho cho thing on trains)

The darkness kept increasing until it became completly black! I almost can't see anything!

I started asking if anyone else is on the yacht... No answer!

This time the yacht started sinking! I panicked so hard! I kept looking around in the darkness, i didn't find anyone! I was alone! I shouted as hard as I can!

While shouting i realised i was actually dreaming so i decided to shout 'til i woke up.

Then i woke up, atleast i though so because i was still in a dream!
I don' t remeber much but it was rather a normal beatiful day! The only thing not normal that my grandma said i was saying dirty shit while asleep!

I was first at a casino up a tower! I always won against people in poker that they feared to face me knowing they'd lose thier money! New people would come in...

Praying to Sun God

I had a dream i was praying to the Sun.

It seemed like the people around me who were teaching me to praying to the Sun God, were Native South Americans who laughed at me fprayinging "formally" to the Sun (the way Asians, or Buddhist. people do - I'm asian aprayingray like this)

They said the way they commune with the God of the Sun is to dance, to move our bodies.


I later found out the God of the sun is called Inti (Incan God) found in south america in places like Peru, Ecuador, Argentina...


If anyone wants to chat about this dream and symbolism, id love to hear your thoughts!

the most crazy nightmare i have ever had

so this morning i had a dream in which the moment i opened my eyes there was a demon standing on the left side of my bed . i thought i had woken up from the dream but it was just a false awakening. i wasn't scared but i couldn't move my body just like sleep paralysis but it was a dream. for some reason i still remember it clearly happening and i know it was a dream but still couldn't become fully lucid . i asked the demon why can't i move my body but he didn't utter a word. i just prayed to god and believed in myself that i can move my body and guess what i was able to rise up from my bed. i just went to a room nearby and the demon followed me. he said to me that he knows what i am thinking right now so i challenged him to read my mind and the next moment itself he started saying all the things that i was thinking at that time. i then just realised that this can't be real and when i was just about to become lucid the alarm woke me up.
