I’m going to try to write my best explanation, I hope in some way you can relate to this kind of, Feeling like you’ve experienced a dream before, perhaps as far as 2 months ago, in the same “dream location” as the dream you only just had last night. Perhaps this dream location is a familiar town, completely abstract from any town in your waking life, yet so familiar to this “Dream You” Or that forest seemingly dreamt in every other week in some different way.
the first location the forest, this forest is large, it is the exact same forest it was in the dream 2 weeks prior, the same paths, the same rivers and streams, I’m just walking a different direction in last nights dream as compared with when I was here in a dream weeks or days past.

The Clothman

I had a dream last night about some kind of murderer called the Clothman.

He isn't human, his face is smooth and almost featureless, except for these two grooves that run town his face and point toward his chin. His skin's kinda greyish. He's so tall.

He wears a vest, pants, and a little bowler hat. Maybe a scarf too.

He has a song. If you sing/hum/whistle the song he will come. Thankfully I don't remember it.

The song will start playing outside along with loud wind if you sing it.

If you look outside you'll see him walking up to your house after a few seconds. I only saw his legs, I didn't look up.

He'll come in.

Don't sing his song.

Can someone interpret this to me?

I was sleeping and dreaming

I dream about a certain person

It was like he played a like a dungeon or something where he has to bet his life into and then there were a time that he cant move to the next level and he got stuck there with his memories.

So I or me tried to went inside the dungeon with some people to retrieve his belongings.

After many days we found his body and his belongings but there was something more interesting.

He leave a bunch of bread like a bunch of them

I know its weird but after i touched the bread i started crying (on the dream) the bread was all of his memories through his journey thinking about his family and friends.

So I cried that i saw that in a bread which is super weird

And then me and my group went back to our village and I returned the belongings to his family

And tell them about the bread his memories through the dungeon after that I and the family cried together about his death.

And thats it I woke up remembering the dream and i kinda want an interpretation about my dream what this does exactly mean because this is the most interesting dream i had in a while.

So thank you for reading and thank you in advance if you interpret it! <3

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 rescue 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 had probably the most oddly disturbing nightmare ever

So it was a pretty normal dream, taking place in my hometown in present time. I was walking home like any other school day, but something was off. There were weird things around, like certain roads that weren't supposed to be where they were, and most notably, a Sakura (cherry blossom) tree outside of a house I always walk by that doesn't have a tree in front of it. I didn't notice it though, cause it was a dream. Anyway, I must've taken some kind of detour, because I ended up in a field, that's usually on the other side of my neighborhood. This is where the weird shit goes down. So throughout the dream I was occasionally seeing this (yes it's hilarious thinking about it) really off-putting man in a banana costume, hiding in weird places (now that I think about it, only the ones that were out of place). He had a new expression each time, and he looked more and more deranged as time went on. So when I reached the field, the sky had already turned dark, so It was night time. The field is surrounded by houses (it's in the middle of the suburbs), and the playground that's usually there is no longer present. All that was there was the washrooms, in a building in the center of the field. I don't know why, maybe to hide from the banana guy (I was starting to get the idea that he was following me). I walked in, and went to wash my hands, when to my left, out of the corner of my eye, I saw him. He was laying limp on the toilet in the stall across the floor, with his head hanging in front of him. He had the most deranged and twisted face I'd ever seen, and he slowly turned his head to look at me. In classic SCP-173 fashion, I tried not to break eye contact, but I couldn't look at it for much longer because I felt like I was going insane. Making sure not to make any sudden movements, I slowly began walking towards the door. The banana man (stop laughing) was starting to half cry half laugh, slowly getting louder and louder. He was no longer in my line of sight, and I felt like any second he could've just gotten up and started chasing me. I felt SO threatened. Terrified, I started to crack the door open, and I was sure that he was going to run up behind me at any moment, but he didn't. He just sat there. Once the door was halfway open, I flung it the rest of the way open, and made a break for it. It was pitch black out, and I was alone. I was too scared even to scream for help, so I just kept running. The laugh/crying transitioned into angry screaming, still laughing all the same. I didn't look back to see if he was giving chase, because that would've slowed me down. The houses around the field were gone. All that was left was an endless open field. I stopped running and turned around, to find that the screaming was gone. Still, I felt no less afraid. All of a sudden, I heard footsteps behind me, and I turned around again, but nothing was there. The screams were coming back. I fell to my knees, panicked to the point where I couldn't keep running. The screaming faded in quickly to the point where it was deafeningly loud, and I started screaming too. That was when I woke up.

Bananas freak me out now. Thanks, brain.
