What are possible meanings for dreams of ugliness?

Knowing that dreams create physical representations of personal situations, you can begin deciphering the symbolism of something ugly by asking whether it is a characterization, such as:

An ugly situation, experience, or habit. See: Addicts

Ugly feelings and emotions, such as jealousy and revenge, or ugly thoughts. See: Jealousy, Revenge

Ugly qualities and characteristics of a person, such as arrogance, greed, and indifference, and ugly behavior such as bullying and arguing. See: Bullies
Ugliness in a dream can be compensation for an inflated sense of self-worth. See: Compensation

You can think of ugly as something unattractive to you in the personal sense. For example, the opposite of an attractive job offer is an ugly one. See: Beauty

A young adult male dreams that his girlfriend suddenly turns very ugly and nasty. In waking life they live in different countries and are considering moving to be together. Nothing about their relationship or her appearance, behavior, or character can be described as “ugly,” so he considers the possibility that the dream symbolizes something that should be attractive to him but isn’t. That perfectly describes a recent situation where he took a job, an attractive offer, that turned out to be an ugly situation. He quit soon after.

I raped a woman in my dream

I met a beautiful girl and she said i'm ugly, at this point I followed her to the toilet and I put a gun on her head and forced her to suck me and then to have sex with me.

Honestly this dream was nasty and I'm shocked. What does it mean?

In my opinion it means that I have some anger and frustation in my self and i should get ride of it, because I didnt want to rape her basically but when she said I'm ugly I had some anger and frustation feeling that made me want to rape her or something. I don't think I have sexual frustation (maybe a bit) but not that much, I don't care if I dont have sex with a woman over a long time, but In real life I'm not that confident (I'm 25) and I know that I'm somehow frustated when a woman doesn't tell me I'm looking good or something. That's a real problem I have to work on it. Honestly it scared me because I feel like, if I did it in my dream why would I not do it in real life? I don't want to but who knows, maybe this is my subconscious desire?

What do you think?

Please interpret this dream for me

I had a dream about hideous sores on my shins , I was supposed to perform at my dance show , that my entire family was at but bcs of the sores, I went to the hospital instead and when I got there a female nurse gave me an uncomfortable anal massage with some tool, that I didn’t really want (not on my raw body through my clothes) the whole time I was so worried about the hideous sores.
I have no clue what this means and Googling hasn’t helped. Thank you in advance

Missing my own wedding, like Cinderella without the happy ending.

IRL I'm divorced with no intention of getting remarried but in my dream I was late for my wedding (to a new guy I don't know, not my ex).

On the wedding day I woke up 15 min before I was due to be at the ceremony, my "friends" were supposed to be helping me get ready but kept stalling dragging me all over town to make me as late and look as ugly as possible. My sister was there (who I no longer speak to because IRL she went out of her way to destroy my marriage). My dress was made of cheap cotton, crushed with holes in it and I had no shoes, they cut and dyed my beautiful hair ruining it and tried to put drag make up on me. I was an hour late and still not ready. I knew I'd missed the wedding thanks to being sabotaged.

Broken glass stuck in my mouth. Pulling pieces out from my tongue / inside cheeks

Hoping for some help intrepreting. Any input appreciated.

This happened last night. I don't remember exactly how the glass got into my mouth but I remember it being painful to remove the glass. I was doing it piece by piece, but inside the dream it still hurt. I woke up briefly and my tongue / throat felt swollen until I fell back asleep.

Here's where it gets interesting. Literally last night before I fell asleep I was having a conversation with a girl about how we keep falling into the same patterns and the complexities it brings about. We had a thing like 5 years ago and it eventually ended. But ever since it ended, we go through this routine of not talking because we both acknowledge we need time apart. Then we start talking again at some point. One of us or both of us will say that we're just going to be friends. Then it turns into this sort of flirty thing before (usually she) stops it. Rinse and repeat.

The last few times this has happened she is in another relationship. She has been with her current boyfriend for a few years and they seem generally happy, so I am happy for her. But it sometimes feels / seems like she comes to me for emotional support when she is at a low point in her life. For example: on this last Friday night we talked on the phone and at some point in the conversation she was talking about how she felt lonely, gross and ugly, was asking me if I thought she was pretty. Saying she thinks I'm cute and likes how tall I am. So me being the person I am I told her she isn't any of those things. I've always found her attractive, she isn't gross for having gained a few pounds, etc. I explained to her this and gave her examples and used the term emotional fluffer. She was confused at how even after we haven't actually seen eachother in person in a few years, I still have feelings towards her. Like I've built this image of her in my head of something she actually isnt.

I don't think I have but idk. So I explained why. Like, when we first met there was just this energy about her I was attracted to. And whenever I talk or see her it's like all my daily or life issues just fade away and it's just her and I in those moments. Nothing else matters. I just want her to be happy in the end. Like when we first met she was at a pretty low point in her life and I just wanted to support her and make her happy. I've always been a caring person but with her it was like tenfold. I told her how she's a beautiful person. For the things she's going into career wise, how deeply she cares for not just her family but other things in life, etc.

Even though we havent seen eachother in a few years, we've kept in contact through text, phone, or snapchat. Each time we talk all I care about is her and supporting her. Part of me thinks I'm in love with her or just have love for her, idk really. But maybe I'm just not willing to admit to myself that really I do love her. And the thought of telling her I love her, because she is currently in a relationship, terrifies me.

Hoping for some help intrepreting. Any input appreciated.

I made a deal with the Grim Reaper

Last night, I ad a strange dream. I was going to an event with people from my alma mater. We were all getting princess costumes and dressing up. While I was hanging with a friend (whom I recognized in the dream, but can’t figure out who it was) she suddenly gasped.
I looked the the left and the Grim Reaper was in front of me. He didn’t speak. I was scared, and I told him “I’m not ready,” because I wanted to say goodbye to my boyfriend.
An option screen appeared then. Instead of dying right there, I could make a deal and die later in place of another person. I chose to make this deal with him, then went to the high school event.
At the end of the dream, I was in the store looking for a costume. The lady gave me two hideous dresses and I felt hopeless. After that, I woke up. Can someone tell me what this means?
Additional info: I just started college last week. Witnessed death last night as me and my boyfriend hit a dog while driving. I’m 18F.
