It was a dream inside a dream
In the dream I was in a theme park similar to American ninja and I found there a minecraft turtle egg and gave it to one of the security guards then I smelled grilled chicken so I went up and then I woke up from the first dream
I usually listen to the misfits podcast and I had a horeifiying dream where they had a sponsor about Nintendo ds and they had to so some edits so they edited in the audio some distorted screeching sound of an angry gamer kid and it was scary so I woke up and still heard that sound so I removed the earphones and still heard it then i saw the door of my room <my engine> (open) and a bright light on front of me so I sat down and there was another bright thing peeling of the wall and every thing else was "struggling" to be black so I wanted to peel it off and when I did some really loud sounds came out I screamed and then woke up for real.

Please help me interpret my dream

Hi! Please help me interpret the dream I had last night.

My dream was in present day and I was my current age 41. I was feeling very agitated and panicked and I was on a hike to find something peaceful. I came to an overgrown field that looked familiar and there was an abandoned house that was my great grandparents house (I have not seen my great grandparents since I was about five years old so I do not have very many memories of them). I walked into the house and the inside was clean and looked like a retro house that nobody lived in. I was very exhausted so I went to the bedroom and I laid down and fell asleep. I had a very peaceful sleep. When I woke up I felt a little scared because I heard the TV on in the living room. In my dream I knew that my great grandparents had been dead for many years. I walked out very cautiously and I could see the back my great grandmother’s head as she was sitting in a chair knitting. The TV was on and there was a little Christmas tree near her but it wasn’t Christmas season. There were figurines and action figures under the Christmas tree. I walked really cautiously around the back of my great grandmother because I thought she was going to be a zombie (since she’s been dead for 35 years) turned out it was my great grandma very nice and sweet and just knitting away like nothing was wrong. and I felt a warm calm feeling come over me but still felt very cautious because she’s been dead for years.

Under the Christmas tree I noticed that she had teenage mutant ninja turtle action figures. I was admiring them and she had waived her hand for me to pick one out to keep. I was super scared to pick out an action figure to keep....then I woke up.

Side note-I am a 41 year old woman who still loves teenage mutant ninja turtle. They are my favorite!

Being drowned by turtles

Weird dream, lol. I really want to know what it could mean because I remember it pretty vividly. I had a dream that I was in a pool, and I could see the shadow of a small turtle above me at the pool floor. Multiple turtle began to fall onto the back of my neck and I ended up drowning by just breathing in the water because I couldn’t make it to the surface. I woke up and was having a hard time breathing. Anyone know what it could mean? By the way, I never have a hard time breathing when sleeping.

Weird but cool dream

I had a dream that I went on a flight to the UK to meet the sidemen and the rest of the bois. Soon after I met calfreezy and his flat mates where he offered me to stay. Everything was going fine until we had a gang war with a bunch of road men that were trying to rob the house. Calfreezy locked me and him in the bathroom while we tried to come up with a plan to escape. While I was booking a flight back to Texas calfreezy put his head in the toilet and flushed himself down while saying “cmon I’ll meet you on the other side!”. My two biggest fears are drowning and tight spaces so convincing myself to get flushed down the toilet was hard but I managed to do so. After that I was in the sewers where I met the teenage mutant ninja turtles who guided me back to calfreezy in the stream of the ocean. After that we found a manhole leading to the surface of Texas. However, we were too weak so we spent a week getting strong to lift the manhole from below. After some time we managed to reach the surface and we went back to my house where the dream ended.

Tl;dr : I went to the UK, met the sidemen and calfreezy, got flushed down a toilet, met the teenage mutant ninja turtles, went back to Texas .
