I shot myself in my dream but I didn't wake up, I think I felt death
When I woke up in my dream I was standing in a huge grass field with a mansion behind me. My father was sitting in a lawn chair next to me and told me to go hide because the war was starting. I went over to a little bridge with water underneath. Grabbed a bucket and got into the water with the bucket over my head. I stayed there for about 5 mins. I remember hearing my breath in the bucket and feeling cold from the water. When the 5 mins passed, I got out and my looked for my dad. When I found him, he immediately told me to go back to the water because round 2 was starting. I grabbed the bucket again but before I had the chance to get into the water, a woman grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the mansion. She explained that "I wasn't supposed to be here." She led me to a very tall man in a blue suit. He took me to the front lawn and pulled out a gun. He told me that I can shoot myself or he would do it because I needed to leave. I decided to do it. I put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger. All the sudden bright lights were around me and I started floating. I felt so warm, like nothing has ever affected me before. It was actually an amazing feeling. I slowly woke up from this dream. Not panicked at all.
But I'm truly curious as to why I didn't wake up once I pulled the trigger? Also, No part of me is suicidal.

Had the scariest, creepiest and weirdest dream in my entire life.
Had a dream that there was a 11-12 year old child inside a freezer.
I was hanging out with some people and one of them could hear some sounds coming from the freezer. They went to check it out and there was a girl inside. She jumped out and ran all the way downstairs like it was nothing. (we were in some sort of house) her legs, face and back were covered in ice.
There was someone who supposedly lived in this girl's household. I asked how come no one knew she was in that freezer and how come no one looked for her. Her reply was that everyone did look for her, but no one could find her. I asked how long has she been missing, she replied 12 hours. So the girl has been inside that freezer for 12 hours. I was shocked wasn't dead.
A little into the dream, I learn that men hate this girl, including her own father. They don't like that she doesn't stay still whenever they rub their genitals against her clothed body. They hate that she slides away. I also found out that her own messed up parents did put her in the freezer so she could die.
A lot of cars started pulling up to their house, as if they knew what was going on and they wanted to teach those inhumane parents a lesson. Before I woke up, I remember myself and other people were trying to shoot the mom because she was trying to run away. The ending felt a bit like a video game.
Honestly, what a creepy dream....

I had a dream where I shot up a school
I was with other people and we were all sick of everyone's personality but ours, so we decided to shoot up a school. After I shoot a few people with a pistol, we started to run. We went into a parking garage where we split up. I realized I had made a mistake by starting to go up to higher floors of the parking garage because that would be trapping myself; there were guards and police chasing us. The group got out of the garage, I managed toshoott a few guards/policemen, and I eventually got caught.
For some reason I was being held within the school with other outcasts. For some reason we were all playing computer games while a supervisor watched us. For some reason I managed to escape out the back door.
Here comes a supernatural section of the dream. While outside, finally free, I met a group of vampires. One bit me, and all of a sudden I was one of their friends, and I had to stay in the shadows and avoid daylight. The vampires were a group of criminals and we all carried weapons of sorts (one carried a chain). They were dressed in black, one had purple hair, on They admired me for trying toshoott up the school and decided we were going to get back at the school, and law enforcement, for holding me up and protecting those annoying people I tried to kill. They agreed that the majority of people were idiots. They took me to a hideout where we met other vampires. Apparently there was a whole society of vampires. So we went back to the school while guardd were patrolling, and we stayed in the shadows because apparently when these vampires are in shadow or in the dark, we become invisible.e had dreads, it was very alternative looking.

I dreamt what happens after I died
This has never happened to me before and its kind of freaking me out. Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this before because nobody in my circles that I asked ever had.
This is the dream:
This was a few nights ago and im still fucked about it.
I was at my childhood home, my parents were really old and frail (75/80’s, they’re actually in their 40’s irl) I felt like i was 24/25 (Im 19). The tv was on and I was cleaning not paying attention when the tv had a really loud alarm. The news guy said that america has fallen and showed huge street fights with fire everywhere and people getting shot and falling by the hundreds. The same dude came back on with another alert and said that the outsider countries that were waiting to attack have just declared war too. The phone rang and I watched my younger brother (18) answer it and hang up. I couldn’t hear him or anything else. He didnt say anything but him and my other brother (17) went upstairs, got a bag and left the house. I knew they got drafted to fight and I knew they didnt say anything bc they weren’t going to come back. My dad got up and hobbled to the door and said he had to protect the family, but I knew he didn’t want to go. He was doing it out of duty, and everyone knew he was too old he would die for certain. My mom was crying and so was my little sister (9) and so was I. Then there was another emergency alarm on the tv to immediately get underground and put something between your teeth and bite down, North Korea was coming. I got my family to go the basement and I was coming behind them, still upstairs when I looked out the window and saw a blinding white light growing and I knew I was going to die right then and I had this huge feeling that I had let it get to that point. It was MY fault that it did.
The light became everything and then it became all dark and my eyes adjusted to see that I was in a moving hallway of sorts. It in space, made out of space, and I could see outside of the area but I was confined to the inside. It was like a black space snake and I was inside riding it like a train. Some of the space scales of the snake worked as doors and I could go into points of time in the future/past, of my life which was a tiny section of it overall and in general too. I looked inside one room but I didn’t go in. It was just trees in a swamp. I opened this other door that had a vibe™️ to it and instantly I was met with this warm yellow glowing light that filled the entire room (which had no walls, it was just the light) and it had the MOST loving feeling ever. It felt like the ultimate motherly warm love ever and I could just melt into it and be happy and safe forever and I was about to step in when the light shifted and formed the face of a lady. The lady opened her eyes and looked directly dead in my eyes and without opening her mouth or anything she said loud and clear: Speak. The sound was in my body and everywhere at the same time.
And then I woke up. And I remained fucked up because I’ve never died in a dream and continued dreaming ever before.
Also my interpretation of the dream was: i have to speak on what ive been meaning and KNOW i need to speak on in order to not let bad things happen. Im trying to write a book and Ive been too scared to start.

I dreamed I saw a dead friend, who told me I would die on the anniversary of her death.
I had a good friend who died last year on October 17th. She dated one of my good friends and as such we grew close. Important Characters are Me, my friend Kyle, my friend Roy, my deceased friend Rose, and another friend Alisha.The nightmare is as follows.
It started with me, my siblings, and my mom packing up her car. We were seemingly leaving and trying to do so in a hurry. But I got the impression we took to long, and when we began to pull out of the driveway we hit my friend Kyle's car as he was trying to pull into the carport. We canceled our plans to leave and me and Kyle decided to drive to what I think was a high-school reunion.
We arrived at the event, and it was almost like a chapel/gym hybrid with large windows towards the front of the room. I saw most of the people that I went to high school with conversing and interacting with each other. I saw my friend Roy who was our senior class president cutting up pineapple and putting it into a drink. He said he didn't have enough pineapple and me and my friends laughed at him for it. Now the nightmare/dream starts.
I walked outside for some fresh air, and when I came back I saw my friend Rose, who is dead, and my friend Alisha who is alive. They both looked like spirits however. I asked Rose how I could see her, and asked if I was going to die soon. She said yes I was going to die, she started becoming more solid. I asked her if she could as God of I could live longer. She said that she would ask but its going to happen anyway. She started getting more solid, so I left the room to try and escape my death.
As I walked into the foyer to escape, a blonde skinny teenager came in. He pulled out a gun, and I was shot with either lightning, or the gun. I don't know which but I felt myself dying. I was then teleported to a city block where I saw a newspaper on the road. I picked it up and it had a picture of me, saying I died on October 17th. The day was Friday. I woke up and wrote the dream my journal quickly. I then went back to sleep, and had a dream where me and rose went to Wendy's just like we used too when she was alive. I ordered her food and we hung out.
That was the end of it, and it's not as scary as some experience. But I woke up sweating and scared. Thanks for listening.
