I had a dream that a lady told me the specific date I am going to die (August 5 of this year). I’m paranoid!
So, last night, I had a dream I was at some museum sort of thing with some people. To get in, there was a security line but the security people had to do like a psychoanalysis on you. When it was my turn, an older woman stared into my eyes for a bit and said, “Something will happen to you on August 5.” I asked what is going to happen, and she said “you are going to die.”
I got very upset and yelled at her in the dream, saying how it wasn’t nice and she planted the seed of my death in my head by saying that.
The dream continued with nothing really of consequence.
I can’t lie, I’m pretty scared about this. Any interpretation helps.

I can turn any nightmare into a sexual dream
I was just wondering how this is possible due to the fact I’ve never had a lucid dream. If I see like a scary creature or anything that is a humanoid or if it’s living I can make the dream a sex dream. For example last night I had a dream that I woke up from a dream and there was a weird woman standing at my door and I felt terrified, it’s like my mind that was awake forced me to fo up to her and kiss her and ask her to have intercourse with me. Obviously this wouldn’t work in the real world due to obvious reasons, but I was wondering how this was possible if I’m not lucid dreaming? I haven’t had a real nightmare since I realized I could do this.

Very dramatic dream about covid
I was standing in a very crowded room with hundreds of other people. We were all wearing masks and everyone was silent. Then suddenly I coughed, and everyone gasped while turning to look at me. I realised that they all thought I had covid, and so I fell to my knees while yelling “NOOO I JUST CHOKED ON MY SPIT!!!” (but I hadn’t choked on my spit). But then everyone started yelling “GO AWAY!!! BE GONE!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!” and I was like “NOOO PLEASE NOOO!!! I JUST CHOKED!!! PLEASE NO!!!”. It was incredibly dramatic, like I was being shunned. It was pretty scary in the dream, because I was so desperate, but when I woke up I kinda laughed at how overly dramatic it was. I don’t know what to make of this dream though...

Should I act on this dream? Please help.
So this morning I had this dream that;
I was contacted by a girl I went to high school with.
However, we weren't friends didn't have the same friends and have never seen her since school. Apart from friending on Facebook but everyone does that.
She contacts me to help with a young girl that had a mild disability in my dream but was playing basketball but was struggling with something. it was not clear in dream what about. But thought I could help.
What was clear is that when I turned to the girl from high school, who is now a grown women as in my age 32. Give or take. She looked crazy clear like real life clear, I look her up when awake and all her features were exactly as she is now as an adult not the teenager.
So firstly, I'm impressed and freaked how accurate my dream was.
I've honestly never looked her up over the years I didn't know anything about her until just glancing at Facebook today.
Secondly, it felt like she was asking for help with something was the crux off the dream.
The little girl and the basketball thing I think is me. As I've worked with young people of all ages over the years and am currently looking to start coaching basketball or ice hockey for juniors.
So my question. Do I contact this girl, who is married and who I have no reason except my dream said she wanted my help.....?
Ps.Yeah I also know how weird it would look from her point of view.

Had a dream when I was 10 with a girl I didn’t know in it. We’re dating now.
I’ll try to keep this as short as possible, I have ADHD and my stories turn into ramblings most of the time.
Anyways.
When I was about 10 or so, I had this dream where me and this random girl were playing and just having fun doing kid stuff. Suddenly I got the urge to tell her “this is a dream, and I can leave whenever I want to. Isn’t that cool?”
She replied with something like “I know.”
So I said “watch this” and in the dream, I closed my eyes and opened them and I was awake (in real life).
Didn’t think much of it.
Come this past June, I was in a town about 4 hours from the one I live in, getting my drivers license photo and all that done since COVID restrictions took them out of my town.
I walked out of the DMV there, and a girl is walking her dog. The dog peed on my moms car door, and she apologized.
We talked for a bit and she asked me for my Snapchat so we could talk some more, which was a first for me since I’m a solid 3/10.
Flash forward a few days later, we’ve been talking, we like each other, decide to hang out in person. She makes the drive up to my town to spend the night.
We spent most of the night just talking about random childhood stories, and I went a grabbed my 3rd grade school picture. Then she told me she had a dream when she was younger about how she was hanging out with a boy, then he said “this is a dream” and left.
She pointed out how younger me looked almost like the kid she had a dream about those years ago.
Well I told her my story of the similar incident, and we concluded we were destined to meet.
I think we both are in agreement that it’s just a scary coincidence, but we both also feel very twilight-zone-y about it now and we aren’t sure if it is a coincidence or some weird fate stuff.
Life is weird, kiddos.
