What are summer dreams about?

To whoever is reading this: If you notice that my story should've been submitted to another sub-Reddit, please let me know.

If I remember correctly, this happened in September or October of 2020. I came from work exhausted and what supposed to be an afternoon nap turned out to be something bigger and it haunts me to this day, which is why I've decided to write this post 10 months after it occured.

​

It was some type of a trip and I happened to be in an old medieval Mediterranean town. I was there by myself but not alone as there were many young people around as well. Some were sitting on a concrete block, some were walking or simply standing and chatting. It was a typical summer night tourist attraction with people just roaming around carefree. I walked all the way up the hill where an old church was built and in front of that church some people in groups just looking around appreciating the architecture of the buildings around.

In front of the church there was a priest holding a lecture and presentation across a leather sofa where people were sitting and listening to him talking. At first I was the only one sitting there as he was talking, a few people decided to join me. The priest was presenting something that I can't remember now until he showed a picture of a figure that I've never seen before in my life - the figure with a hood on his head, that is all I can remember. He asked if anybody can recognize this figure and I stood up proudly saying how that is an Archangel Michael, but then quickly correcting myself and saying something what made me realize that this in fact is not Michael.

The priest was laughed warmly and said the name I've never heard before - Azrael. I remember repeating that name in my dream and thinking about it as if I won't remember it because it sounded so strange to my ears. As I looked back to this place where I was sitting, there was a hood waiting for me. A gift for me, what I felt this to be - a hood interwoven with golden and royal blue thread.

Then my body, out of my control was raising my arms up and I couldn't put them back down, that is when I started panicking for a bit. The dream continued but nothing that I can really remember.

I woke up after that strange afternoon nap remembering this Azrael name and then googled it, the results left me speechless and in tears. So if there are any religious/spiritual souls out that to help me interpret this haunting dream, I would be so thankful.

So this is the first nightmare I’ve had since high-school, from this post it was a week ago and I’m still getting flashes of what happened during it and I have no clue what’s going on.

Me and my father were our boating on a lake, a lake I spend over 2-3 weeks at each summer (my “happy place”) but it appeared much older. What I’d guess 20-60 years ago.

We were boating and we watched a boy, 8-11ish, jump off a cliff on a rope swing. Only he had wrapped the rope around himself pinning his arms to his side, and knotted it. We watched him slowly unravel until he was still pinned, dragging across the water. And then he disappeared under it. And then he emerged, escaped from the rope. I remember thinking it was some kind of adrenaline “beat the clock” sort of game. He swam to a dock, climbed onto it and we boated over and from the boat gave him the dad “You could’ve died speech.” To which he responded “Where’s the fun in that?” He then took a few steps over towards us on the dock. And all of a sudden his face hollowed in, his eyes went entirely jet black, his skin shrunk around him like he was anorexic, and turned violently and entirely dark purple and blue, with dark blue veins running across his body. He made direct eye contact with me and said “I feel cold.”

And I woke up. And now for a week straight, I keep seeing flashes of this emaciated child staring at me and saying that. I’ve read what drowning means, but he didn’t disappear or die then. I’ve read what black eyed children means, but I don’t know since he didn’t start off that way? I’ve been trying to analyze this but I have gotten nowhere, and this seemed like the best place to help.

When I was a kid my brother and I shared a room at my grandparents house for the summer. One night I had a dream that I got up to go use the bathroom but the next morning my brother asked me why I got up and peed on the carpet by the door then got back in bed. There was def a wet spot there so I don’t think he was lying lol but almost 15 years later I Still think about that lol anyone have experience or insight to share?

Hey everyone!

I'm fairly new to having an actual account on Reddit, but I've used it for years to search for answers or peruse.

**Basically,** I'm just posting in here to see if anyone else is an experienced lucid dreamer, and wants to help motivate each other to take those skills to the next level.

I'm willing to help someone unlock their lucid dreaming abilities as well, if you're not very experienced, but it can sometimes take weeks if you're not accustomed to an "otherworldly" way of thinking. Anyone who can't suspend their disbelief in supernatural abilities will not be of much use in this thread, I'm afraid.

\-------------------------------------------------------

For a bit of a background in my own experience, I first became lucid in a dream back in 2014, when I was 17 years old. I spent that entire summer sleeping in to get more hours logged in dreamtime. I have dozens of full recounts of spiritual encounters, epic battles, and strange worlds from that summer alone.

This won't seem all that uncommon for someone who has studied LD for quite a while.

My most accomplished feats so far have been meeting a personal spirit guide and one of my previous incarnations, meditating in a dream consciously, and a connection with Mother Earth and Father Time.

I'm more of a fan of DILD (dream-induced) myself, but WILD does work for me as well.

\-------------------------------------------------------

**Who I'm looking for is someone who wants to attempt to connect in the dream world, practice daily, and eventually move into full astral-projections through the dream state. (My time zone is EST, as that may be of significance for training.)**

I have been out of active practice for a bit, with the current world situation, but it's time I refocus that energy into dreaming again.

I'm completely open to any other experiments or assertions you'd like to test.

I'm a 24 year old male from Canada.

\-------------------------------------------------------

Ideally, would like to connect with fans of anime or sci-fi for similar shared experiences, should our training progress that far.

(Hunter x Hunter, Fairy Tail, My Hero Academia, Seven Deadly Sins, Naruto, Avatar The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Magic the Gathering, The Flash, Spiderman, Doctor Strange, are some of the most influential media for me.)

Also, feel free just to share any of your coolest dream experiences! Feel free to brag as much as you want :D

I was going to school it was the last day of school and I was talking to my mom about how it was going to be a good summer vacation and I got to school and started the day off as normal put my stuff in my locker and went to my first class of the day. But then about 30 mins into class (I didn't dream that long or anything I just knew) A zombie broke down the door into the class and starts eating my classmates. I run away and usher everybody out of the class and close the door before the zombie comes to get us. I turn around and the school is in Anarchy Zombies everywhere and people getting eaten I run to grab my stuff out of my locker because I thought I would need them. Then a zombie pins me to the lockers behind and tries to bite me. I open a locker and hit it in the face and kick the zombie into the locker and shut it. Then I grab my stuff from my locker and then all the zombies start chasing me I text my mom to pick me up from the school. I burst out the front doors of my school with a hoard of zombies chasing me I start running home because I don't know where else to run to. My mom pulls up around the corner and I get in and we drive away my family is in the car except for my dad because he is at work. When we are driving by our old house my mom says to call my dad and tell him we will be meeting him at "The Hotel" I tell him and I fall asleep in the car. Then I wake up in the dream to find out where we will be staying it is a big hotel it is taller than the clouds and each floor is bigger than the house I live don't live in that small of a house. My dad is there and so are my grandparents and somebody from school. We walk inside and have lunch. Then I wake up
