Had a fucked up dream about multiverse selves.
There was this guy who was my boyfriend and we both were driving to my parents house in a heavy forested area across a very deep bridge.
And then idk what happens but in the next scene I kicked him out of the car and he gets out and I drive off.
Then he somehow falls to the side of the road on the grass and is bleeding from his head and me from some multiverse comes to him and tries to save him by combing his hair with this healing comb. He heals but his eyes start bleeding and he’s crying so I get really scared but at that exact moment I see myself driving with the guy in the car and me kicking him out of the car replaying again.
I go to the boyfriend who got kicked out and tell him let’s go while the hurt boyfriend is lying on the roadside crying.
Then we both go to the bridge we came from and see my other self standing on the edge of the bridge about to fall. But then I take a step back and go inside the forest. Then somehow I think I jump again and see myself living in this small cottage by that bridge in a town and I play violin for a living. I had taken the hurt blind boyfriend from the side of the road and was living with him. My other self is watching him through the window when he comes to the window stares in my direction and closes the curtains.
At this point I woke up. Then I slept back after few minutes. The dream just continues !?
There’s snow everywhere and the blind boyfriend and other me teach kids in an orphanage on a mountain for a living. But then me and boyfriend from another parellel universe come to kill the boyfriend and me from the orphanage world. I’m on the way to the bathroom I notice these weird strange ominous red patterns on the floor that are leading me to it. The guard comes to my save and asks me to go away from there. I start to look around for my boyfriend but I can’t find him so I keep running through thick snow outside the gate and just keep running.
At this point I woke up but WTH this is such a weird dream I’ve never dreamt anything like this. Right now also I woke up worried about if the boyfriend was fine since I didn’t see him anywhere when I was running away..

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

I had the most disturbing dream of my life
My childhood cat died very suddenly two weeks ago. She choked due to water in her lungs. We couldn't save her. I remember driving home after my brother called with the intention of save her, that she wasn't really dead. Her death really messed with me. Words can't express how much I loved her and I can't stop imagining her choking. This dream is very, very disturbing.
Today I took a nap. I woke up after the most disturbing dream of my entire life. I was sitting on the couch and realized my cat's body was next to me, at the exact spot she used to sleep all the time. Not only that, there was two of her. Someone picked one of the two up and took it out of sight. I asked my mom what it was doing there. She told me she took her out of the freezer (we are keeping her body until we can bury it since it's winter) because she missed her too much. My cat then started moving slightly. She started choking. I tried to sasaveer. I started blowing in her mouth to clear her throat and doing the Heimlich method on her. However her body kept slipping out of my hands and falling in weird positions on the couch. She finally stopped choking. She had died again. I called 911 to ask them to come over and make sure she was dead. While I was waiting my whole family started chasing me with knives; even my disabled brother who cannot run and my very old grandma. They pushed me to the ground and started trying to stab me while laughing. I managed to get up and answer the door: the ambulance was here. Two men in a red suit were there. They were the chiefs of ambulances or whatever. They looked at my cat and confirmed she was very, very dead and that her moving was a response from her dead body the the stimuli around her. I thanked them and escorted them to the door. When I came back to the living room my cat was laying the exact same way as she is laying in the picture of her I have on my desk in my dorms. What's really freaking weird to me is that it was only her skeleton, which I found cute in my dream? Then her skeleton started shrinking and I woke up.
I called my mom and started crying while telling her about it. I still feel very weird and needed a place to share.

Dream about baby elephant and being deserted on an island.
So I had an interesting dream the other night involving being at sea with a baby elephant. From what I recall I was on a small wooden boat in the middle of the ocean with a group of other small wooden boats. But what was unique about my boat was that there was baby elephant on my boat. The elephant would sometimes try to jump in other boats and I had to pull it out of the water. Eventually me and elephant fell off the boat and got stranded in the ocean but I grabbed it and swam to a nearby island with vegetation. In the dream I watched an animated video that I spent 12 years on the island with the elephant before getting rescued. Is there any meaning from this dream?

Similar dream for 5 years straight.
Its been 5 years and I haven't spoken to anyone of this and have been trying to ignore it. But I am new to reddit and looked up if a subbreddit like this exists, so here I am!
Whenever I dream, the dream is always follows the same pattern, sharing similar themes, but different settings:-
1. It starts out mundane, in an everyday-life-kind of scenario.
2. However it soon devolves into a life or death situation- I have to escape from a killer who specifically wants to kill me, I have to hunt down someone, I have to hunt down the person who wanted to kill me, or a battle royale. This part often incorporates settings from the various books and novels I read.
3. Most of the time I prevail, immensely confident in my abilities. But at the end, just before I am about to finish it, I find myself weak and unable to deal the finishing blow.
4. Towards the end of the dream, the reason for my fighting is revealed. Its a woman. I have to save her, I have to win her affection, I have to leave her, all varied reasons.
5. I never quite remember what she looks like, but she is familiar. She makes me feel so peaceful, so warm, so happy that it hurts.
6. From here on, there are two endings
7. (Ending-1)I reach her. I am so happy, so very happy, but I suddenly realize its a dream...everything uptil now was. This realisation is accompanied by a heart rendingly profound sense of loss that accompanies me throughout the day after I wake up. When I realise its a dream, everything starts slipping through like sand between my fingers, but I would give anything, any price to not wake up again.
These are the days I wake up crying.
8. (Ending-2) I reach her. There is a very real sound of a gun cocking behind my head and the feel of cold metal pressing against it, and then such peace, I wish it would last forever.
These are the days I wake up feeling so well rested and ready to tackle the day. And even till today, in tense situations or when I am stressed, I have developed a habit of imagining the cool metal against the back of my head and it calms me down.
To anyone who read this far, I would sincerely like your opinion. Thank you in advance.
