What are possible meanings for dreams of stomachs?

The stomach is, of course, associated with food, and that association can branch out in many directions to include nutrition and diet. See: Food

But more often, dreams refer to the stomach in the sense of “gut feeling.” The stomach has more nerve endings than the spinal cord, and emotions such as fear, nervousness, and anxiety are felt in the gut because it has nerve bundles that act as processing centers for these emotions. Some instincts and hunches are also felt in the gut. They’re “gut instincts.”

Vomiting in a dream or an ill feeling in the gut can mean you can’t “stomach” something.

Need help interpreting a dream about being cut open.

It was a school meeting in an auditorium, in which the staff believed one of us was hiding something inside ourselves, and to find it they had to cut open a part of our stomach. The woman who sat beside me was getting cut open, and she gave the impression that this was something she was used, based on how unfazed by any of it happening to her, as I saw her getting stabbed, and handling it with pure ease. It becomes my turn, and I start to panic. Despite my frantic act, the lady (staff member) began to start cutting my stomach open anyway (using a pair of heavy duty scissors). I began to try forcing myself to deal with the pain, but it became unbearable, to the point where I starting screaming and threatened to hit her if she would stop.

I had a dream where I had to kill three people to escape a house [NSFW]

So for context, I got trapped in this house and there where three other dudes. The main guy stabbed me in the stomach so I disembowled him and then smashed the other guy's head into ground meat (doom style).

I was then inside my own kitchen for some
Reason. Then, the main guy tried to put me in an oven so I had to stab his eyes out with a fork then I stabbed him to death...

I have no idea what this means and I'm curious.
For the setting, I was mostly in some sort of house that was a mish-mash of relatives and friends house's. The living room was like my grandparents house while the kitchen was like my dad's house

Can you forget a really disgusting dream?

This may sound like a very stupid question, but it is in fact very serious. Monday morning I had really disgusting dream about pulling out a tooth and a really huge ramification of veins came out with it. I pushed it back with all of the veins then really gross dots started to appear inside my mouth. I had no issue that day, but from Tuesday I'm having random flashes to that dream during the day, no matter how busy I am. It kills my mood, it makes my stomach turn upside down, I lose focus, and the tooth I pulled in the dream starts to itch. I never had a dream so gross that is haunting me even days later.

Anyone else had this problem before? I'm not sure how long it will continue, but I'm hoping that talking about it may help in getting over it faster, this solved other kinds of problems in the past.

My friend gutted their dog to get my attention and then healed the wound with magic????

So for context, my relationship with this person is strained at the moment. I have intense romantic feelings for this person and though they say they reciprocate, their feelings will always come second to our friendship. Oh, and they have a live-in girlfriend. Yes i know thats fucked up. We've met IRL once and it was so awesome, but i had to share them w their gf a lot of the time. Now I've been trying to express my feelings and concerns about the friendship/tie to this person but they suck at responding to me, so I have half a mind to call them on the phone and just let loose. BUT ANYWAY

Onto the dream...

So this is what I remember. I was at someone's house, and they and their girlfriend were upstairs hanging out. I was in the living room with a different friend smoking. All of a sudden I get a video call from my friend from upstairs. I answer and they tell me their dog just got gutted????? And Im like HUH??????? So he shows me the gash on camera. The dog is still alive but in pain. And im like holy FUCK what happened???? I dont remember exactly what they responded with but I was like thats fucked. So I rush upstairs to see if the dog is okay. Magically, the wound is healed. Red and inflamed but no longer a gash. And im like what in the fuck?????

So I came to the conclusion in the dream that one of them had maimed the dog to get my attention and once they had it, healed the dog of its injuries.

Anyone have any idea what this could mean? I can give more context if need be

So for context, my relationship with this person is strained at the moment. I have intense romantic feelings for this person and though they say they...

Demon Dream

For background, there are demons in my house, now the activity has gone down tremendously since sleeping with crystals under my pillow, lighting candles, and using myrrh, BUT, last night, I had a creepy dream. I was in my house with my best friend when all of the sudden, we could here a little girl laughing, even though I knew what it meant, I followed the sound into the bathroom. When I got there, I looked behind the shower curtain and saw a little girl with short curly brown hair just standing there. I instinctually told her to leave and that I didn’t want her there but my voice wouldn’t come out, she just smiled. I don’t know why but she slapped my stomach and then all of a sudden, the little girl turned into a man and for some reason, so did I. I mean, it was me, but I was suddenly looking through the eyes of someone else, and then the male demon said “she’s down there with a baby in her stomach”. I think he was talking about me. I’ve been reading tarot lately and I’ve been seeing the tower and empress cards a lot lately, which would normally mean that I probably couldn’t get pregnant, but I already thought I couldn’t....so I’m worried that I am and that the demons in my house are after me or some shit like that. I know this was a rollercoaster ride from start to finish but please understand that I’m freaked out, I would really appreciate anything you guys have to say on the matter. Thank you
