I wrote down this dream, it played out like a horror movie, but it actually had a loose narrative and wanted to share it, even though it’s abstract still and doesn’t make much sense to me.

Horror movie, the protagonist is cloned (and killed prior), and is being forced to wear a belt that possibly explodes (told it explodes)

Upstairs, all the windows are locked and the whole place resembles a SAW style dungeon

One of the robot clones (awfully pretends to be a human, and says that there is no other belts or keys for the belt upstairs in a empty concrete room of a factory.

The clone looks around downstairs and finds a plate covered in thinly sliced wood circles with a note under a small thinly cut piece of wood that advises the protagonist to go upstairs.

She finds a dead mouse in a cage in a square bathtub / drainage pool. In the cage there is a box that has a note stapled to the bottom that says “she is lying. Check the box.”

There is bite marks all around the box. (Indicating it’s possibly poison that killed the mouse instead of the food) and there is a key underneath the food

The protagonist puts the other belt after unlocking slowly not to raise questions, she and stealthy hides the old belt on-top of the hamster cage where it was found, with the decaying rodent

The robot walks in the room right after the protagonist uses the key and glitches up even harder, talking and repeating herself in robot spasms. Then she acts completely normal. She talks about how you shouldn’t believe everything, and grabs the protagonist and pins her against the table

- Leaving out more details because they are kind of insignificant in my opinion, and kind of add too much distraction -

But yeah I hope maybe someone could use this as like, inspiration for a short story, a story, or whatever I hope it inspires something lol

another odd dream

I woke up floating in space and I was some kind of rodent. I was surrounded by equipment and paper work but I didn't know why I was there. I floated around for a bit until I bumped into a "man" in a suit who freaked out that I was awake and moving and tried to grab me so I ran away. I managed to find a portal to some world that resembled earth and escaped there. I was there for a while on a rural farm when I started getting this urge to go to this underground bunker, I was exploring it when the men from space came to capture me so I ran to where this urge was taking me. On the way I stumbled into a den of mice that were trapped there by a large cat, I was able to help them escape as well and we all ran to the field the urge was taking me to. We all grabbed an individual dandelion tuft and it floated us away at an insane speed. After a while there was a pink gas that started spreading that seemed to cancel out our tufts that was released by the alien men in an attempt to catch me. I escaped into a home and somehow managed to soul swap into an actual human body. It started to snow a ton and my new friends wanted to go drifting, so we got into a car but it was stuck so we had to dig it out. As we were doing that someone pointed up and the sky looked like a screen, suddenly I appeared on it and it started flashing red. I knew they caught me again and I gave up, I told the people they needed to act like they were turning me in and they were freaking out "turn you in to who whats happening with the sky what are you"

They came to get me and strapped me to a large metal table and went to extract my soul but something went wrong and they were freaking out that I had gotten too strong, then I woke up.

Dream Interpretation Request

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help me interpret a dream I had. I honestly can’t remember it all - but I do remember I was at my old office with my current boss, and he was taking files off of a high shelf. They all fell, and when they did I noticed some kind of rodent on the cabinet. I started to tell him that there was a stray animal, but before I could multiple rodent started coming out of nowhere and attacking him. I don’t remember anything else! It freaked me out though.

I found a snake, tried to care for it, failed, and it turned into a stuffed owl.

My partner and I had lost our home to some kind of natural disaster (earthquake/wildfire/tsunami) and we were staying in an empty hotel. There was a little community of evacuees, with the lobby being used as a makeshift hospital/storage area. I walked outside, and found a medium-sized snake slithering up the wall of the building. I was sure it was someone's pet that escaped, and I needed to return it because it wouldn't survive in the wild. It was mostly beige/tan with brown splotches. I scooped the snake into a cardboard box. I wasn't afraid of it because I was positive it was non-venomous. The snake kept trying to escape the box. I fed it whatever I could scrounge up and tried to hold/pet it, but it didn't like me. I felt really bad for it, because I couldn't find a larger container, proper food, or the snake's owner.

One of my neighbors suggested that I should just keep it. She said I should let my cat (we had a cat in the dream only) bring back rodents and feed them to the snake. I ended up trying to ask for help from the leaders/doctors in the lobby. I thought they might have the owners info on record somewhere. They were disgusted at the idea of someone having a pet snake and told me to get rid of it, in case it bit someone. I went back to the hotel room, and my partner was opening the cardboard box, saying he heard noises coming from it. Before I could tell him to be careful, he reached in an pulled out a taxidermy owl. It was posed on top of a small log, and technically should not have been able to fit inside the box. I said, "It turned into an owl??" and my partner only got more confused. I didn't see the snake again. The end

Info: IRL, I'm neutral about snakes, but I know it's common to be scared of them. As long as they're not venomous, I don't mind them. I won't run away screaming from one, but I wouldn't want one as a pet. I used to be afraid of owls, but I've mostly gotten over it.

Weird dream about zoo animals

Last night I dreamed someone was standing in my backyard with a 22 gun. The yard was full of various animals. My Neighbor was screaming at them telling them to stop when suddenly the person shot and killed a deer. I backed away when all of a sudden a bunch of zoo animals (giraffes, monkeys, various exotic rodents) ran to my back door screaming in fear. I let them into my house and told my mom, I better call 911. I went to call the police when I realized I didn't have phone service because I traveled back in time to 2014. Somehow, I was able to still call 911 and the police acted like this was something that was normal and happens often. What do you think it means?
