Strange semi-recurring dream
31M, INFJ, heterosexual.
I have had this dream several times over the course of my life. It has been a different setting with different people each time, yet, I know it's the same dream.
It always starts with me being outside with someone who I don't recognize. It starts out with good weather, lots of yellows and greens, natural tones. The weather turns bad and it begins to storm heavily, shifting into greys and blues.
We somehow wind up inside a building with many other people. The first time I remember having this dream, we wound up in the church I was raised in with members of the congregation in there as well. One of them, familiar to me, was wearing the Santa suit he always wore for Christmas, but it wasn't Christmas.
Anyway, It always winds up that I see a tornado through a window. When I see this, nobody seems to know what to do, so I always wind up taking charge and directing people's actions. The most recent occurrence was last night. We were in the basement of a house that I didn't recognize. Nobody was taking action after I saw the tornado, so I started telling them to board up the windows and barricade the exterior basement door. I have no idea where the boards came from, they weren't down there to begin with, they just appeared and they were already the perfect size for the windows.
Everything, including the people in the room with me were in grey and blue tones. I'm not really sure what happened/happens after that, I usually wake up at this point.
If anyone has any ideas about what this could mean, I would love to hear it.

Had sex with my dad
So much happened in the dream, but my dad fucking me was the truly disturbing. I was just laying there and he comes up behind and start having sex with me.
My husband is laying across from me. He doesn’t say anything and I didn’t fully comprehend what was going on till he was close. and when he finishes I pushed him off in disbelief and went to the bathroom to clean up. I wasn’t angry per se, It was more disbelief and confusion because there was no reaction from anyone.
This was just one aspect of the dream , there was a lot of shit going on so I’ll just point out the things that stuck out.
-My parents, my husband and I were living together in my deceased grandparents house
-family started showing up at the house
- Me being really mad and disgusted about dirt/germs being everywhere. ( someone made a mess with feces)
-My deceased cousin laying in bed happy and laughing but he looked like how he looked after surgery to remove tumor in his head
-Animals ( snake, Jaguar or leopard couldn’t tell the difference) walking around that were bought by cousins I don’t get along with
-The snake bit my my mom multiple times
-A storm and a big lightning
-part of the roof of the house falling off
The dream was overall very weird and disturbing

I had a dream about a movie that doesn’t exist
I had a dream last night about a movie that I saw with my friends and in my dream I was positive that I knew the movie, what characters were in the movie and where it took place. But that movie doesn’t exist. Anyway I start on earth and I’m fighting in a war it seems like. I eventually die and I wake up in a desert place with a huge tent that I’m walking towards and when I arrived there I walked in and someone said what’s your book number and I said #0937 out of no where and they questioned if my name was AJ (not my name) and I said yes, so they let me in and everyone that I had known was in this tent except for one person, my best friend. so I yelled out “has anyone seen #0378?” Which was his book number. And no one said anything. They were sitting in a circle and someone had me walk around the circle as in a greeting or something and I sat down by people I had actually known for the past couple of years When I sat down I realized that I had a compass in my hand and I looked at it and I passed out for some reason and I saw a cockroach eating a bunch of mosquitoes (don’t ask because i have no idea) and when the cockroach finally ate all of them I randomly said “was that the over pass?” And I woke up and everyone was gone except for me. I walked out of the tent and there was someone there to explain what was happening. I asked what was happening and the solar eclipse was happening but the moon was a lot smaller than the sun (from where ever I was). And there was a big storm coming through and it came my way and my best friend came out if the tent and said to come with him. He led me to a tower and it was very rusty and broken. So we started climbing and we eventually got to the top where a trap door was and we climbed through. Then we heard 2 girls talking at the same time (like the shining but different people) in a room that was down the hall. That when I said “oh yeah this is the movie me and my friend saw but it was at midnight so we didn’t finish the movie until 3 am” which happened in real life and it was with infinity war. Right as we were going into the room I woke up. I was so confident that the movie existed that I looked up every top movies of 2019 and 2018 to see if the movie I “watched” and knew existed and it doesn’t but I still think it does. There were a lot more details but It would be like reading a book. Sorry if this was difficult to read/understand because I’m not good at writing stuff down.

“Are you still in hell?”
Just had this, freaked me out, and I’m coming on here while it’s still fresh. I am a devout Catholic, just as a precursor to this, so you have understanding
While it’s all fuzzy, the whole dream i was living alone in a small populated town, living near a gas station. My home was run down. Things were misplaced weirdly. My drum set was attached to the wall above another bed, and my fathers bed (wasn’t present in the dream) was in front of a fatback tv. The whole home felt like a really big shed
The whole dream had a vibe that SOMETHING was going to happen. If I didn’t lock the door, someone would break in, etc. and by something, I mean apocalypse like. I remember specifically being weirded out then the sky was bright sunny blue, with my clock saying 1 a.m. I knew something was wrong
A storm came, and somehow, it transitions into (what I now know) as a false awakening. My grandmother was in a chair beside my air mattress in the livingroom (yes that’s how I’m sleeping in our apartment rn lol), and she was trying to tell me about what she was doing this whole storm, etc.
She forgot what she was going to say, and I turned to her, seeing her stare into the ground/space, drawing a blank. Next thing I know, I turn back to face the ceiling. Idk if I closed my eyes again or not, but the blankets felt like sticky, thick mud around me. All over my face as if the mud was a skull-styled mask on my face. Then I uttered the words, in a deep dark voice, as if asking her, or me (idk)
“Are you still in hell?”
And that’s how I woke up. I didn’t open my eyes after that. That’s how I opened my eyes. I am really shook right now. To let you know, the scene where my gram and I are talking, it felt as if we were knowingly in purgatory, then that happened.
I hope to God this dream isn’t s sign of mental illness or anything of the sort 😂
