Three eyed cat

I had this dream a few months ago, so I don’t exactly remember all the details. But in my dream I owned a cat, I was holding the cat and I was looking at the cats face. The cat was a short haired white cat. The cat had one blue eye and one green eye, I don’t remember which one was the left or right eye color but I believe the eye I saw on my left was blue and the one on my right was green. The cat had a third eye on its forehead, this eye was vertical and it was a red eye. All I remember seeing is the cats face and the background was black. I don’t remember anything else in this dream. I think I was cuddling the cat.

Disturbing dream about a friend. Should I check up on him or something?? I'm unsettled.

He came over to my house in my dream. we were closer in my dream I guess- hes never been to my house. Anyway, we were talking about life and what was going on. We were sitting on my bed with the lights off. I was looking out into the hallway, and listening to what he was saying. And all of a sudden he started describing our friends and what was going on with them and how interesting they were. His voice started cracking up and shaking. And then he told me that he didnt really have anything happening in his life. He said he was boring. When I looked back at him he was holding his knees, and his eyes were red and he was crying. I started crying as well. (This is a thing in real life too. If I see people I care about cry I also start crying.) Anyway, i kind of pulled myself together and just held him really close. He was so cold. His whole body was just like cold cement. His tears were warm though, I just tried to wipe them away before I started to cry again. He seemed confused, but also grateful to have someone there. And we just hugged for a while, until he stopped crying and didnt feel as cold.

Anyway since waking up I've been a little worried for him. I know its likely just a dream, but I'm still so shaken honestly.

I had the worst dream of my life last night. Woke up at 4am because of it and couldn’t fall back asleep.

Bear (lol) with me because it’s long. It seemed hours long and so detailed it could’ve been a movie.

It started off with me getting invited to a huge house party to support the election of some state governor. Super fancy, living room basically the size of half a Walmart. Windows on the side, each one bigger than my condo. And between each window and in the corners were live palm trees (somehow) with lights all around them. The governor (young, shortish, clean shaven) had his assistant (a HUGE like 6’6” black guy with red eyes) find me and a few other people to bring downstairs for a tour I guess? While we were walking down he said “I hope you like the palm trees- I had them put in for you, since you suggested it” or something dumb like that. It made me feel good- like he actually knew who I was. Anyways we get downstairs for the tour and it’s a long wind of several rooms that connect to each other. I was sitting in one of the corner rooms on an extra large couch with a lot of other people. A kid across from me had a black and grey large dog with him. It was kind of an eerie tone down there since there weren’t any windows. Many of the walls were red. The governor passes through with several of his agents, showing off his pet POLAR BEAR which was huge. The polar bear stopped and looked at the dog. The dog was wagging its tail and barking like it wanted to say hi. The agents were pulling on the bear’s leashes to keep going but the boy released the dog to let it say hi. The bear took one swipe at it with its massive paw and left a huge bleeding open wound on its chest. The bear was taken out of the room and someone picked up the dog and moved it so it was facing me and wrapped a towel around the wound. It had almost human like, blue bulging eyes, like it was in shock. I ended up returning upstairs for a bit to try and forget about that.

After being at the party for a while I heard a weird noise downstairs and decided to investigate. This time, almost no one was down there. Until I got to the room adjacent to where the dog was mauled. The bear was there, standing on its hind legs. It swiped at a few people, including the governors wife. Everyone was laying dead. I was afraid it would turn around and see me so I tried to play dead too. I opened one eye and saw the bear, standing on its hind legs, with bright red eyes. The bears skin was shed off to reveal the assistant and the governor inside. The assistant immediately ran out of the door (that led outside). Holding still was like trying to hold still during an MRI- I felt myself twitch and heard the governor walking towards me. I shot up, and told him I was actually alive and that I was so sorry and that I wouldn’t tell anyone. He smiled and said I know and told me to get back upstairs as fast as possible, and then he ran outside. The entire carpet in the room was stained with blood, and the bear skin looked huge sprawled across the floor. I quickly got back upstairs and found my parents.

Later in the night, everyone was either leaving or going to their assigned rooms to sleep. Of course, my bed was in a room that included the stairs leading down to the basement. I couldn’t sleep, and kept looking down the dark stairwell from my bed. Suddenly I was pulled by my ankle. I look up to see the governors wife. Pretty, short, lots of old timey makeup. And she was dead. Like a ghost but could still touch me. I kept trying to run out into the main room, but she kept grabbing me and asking why she deserved to die and if I thought she was pretty. I eventually got out and found the room my parents were staying in. They were watching the news on tv- and the main headline was about the governor. It was known what he did, and he hadn’t been found yet.

Bee leaving

I've had this dream 7 years ago, it reoccurred for 30 nights, and now the dream has resurfaced, and has been going on about the same amount of time.

In this dream, I'm a bee flying around with a fellow bee. I'm in a country side, where the fields are on fire, and the skies are blotted with dull metallic locusts.

We are noticed, by the swarm, and we try to escape into a hollow log. They find us, and gnaw through the log in no time. So we fly towards, and old school/church house Bell tower.

i was about to die, when my fellow bee jumped in front of the swarm, and he begins to fall down towards the ground, I catch his mauled body, he's missing a wing.

He then transforms into a large statue of liberty, With a very booming voice he says."I am the Lord, and commands me to go to San Francisco.

Then I'm in a disembodied form, I see a football stadium. There's a tall man, with pale skin, black hair, and red eyes. He's in a business suit, talking to a very large crowd.

The end of my dream, I float towards the sky, and I see the United States being enveloped in a white light. The light was stronger on the edge of the country.

My apologies for the long post, and my first one. Its honestly freaking me a tad bit out. Nonstop dream, always begins, and ends the same.

My brother tried to murder me in a dream.

When I was around 2- 5 (Honestly I can't remember the age) I had a dream where my brother was black (Not the skin color he was literally black) With red eyes. He was strangling me while he had this huge grin on his face. I remember I couldn't breathe and I was crying for help to my mom. I woke up crying. This is genuinely the scariest nightmare/dream I've EVER had.
