Surreal dream I had
I doubt anyone will take the time to read this but I’ll put it here anyway.
This takes place underground. In some sort of underground alleyway only lit up by small yellow candles along the wall. There were a bunch of hooded people lined up in front of a large cauldron at the very end of the alley. I walked up to the front so I could see what was in the cauldron, and saw it was filled with water, and these little golden bowls where floating on top. This weird old lady behind the cauldron (who was also hooded) was smiling at me and then handed me a golden axe. She said “it’s time to make your decision.” I looked into the cauldron again and saw one of the bowls was floating in the very middle, as if waiting for me, and then suddenly a face appeared inside of it. It was crying. I was sort of creeped out and stood there for a second not doing anything, until one of the people in line whispered to me “break it now.” So I raised the axe above my head, then swung it down into the cauldron, splitting the bowl in half, and the face disappeared. Soon, another bowl with another face floated to the middle, this time the face was angry, and I repeated the process. Raising the axe, swinging it down and breaking the bowl. I did this a few more times before I came across a face that I could not bring myself to break for some reason. I hesitated, then looked up at the old lady behind the cauldron. She asked me, “do you wish to love this soup?” And I said “yes” then the dream ended.
I doubt anyone will take the time to read this but I’ll put it here anyway.

I think I met the Devil in my sleep
Hi, New User here. I had this dream (or nightmare) a while back and would like an explanation for the whole thing.
I should mention that I'm more spiritual and leaning towards being a Wiccan, but don't believe in God. I acknowledge his existence (along with many other gods), but don't personally believe in him. I used to believe, but due to circumstances, I don't.
Anyway, I experienced this a few months ago. In the dream, I first saw myself in a car accident near a house I don't recognize. It was in a field. I turn to see a figure cloaked in all black. I say, "Oh, I didn't expect to see Death!" But the figure says in a masculine voice, "I am not Death". Confused, I then started to sink into the ground and I felt myself claw at the dirt until I was completely underground. I saw all these red lights as I descended further, until I ended up seeing all these people walk around. I didn't recognize any of them. I felt someone, who I assumed to be the Devil (or Lucifer), grab my wrist and start leading me towards somewhere. His voice was the same as the one I heard before. He said, "I could show you things." He also went on about Jesus and how he hates hearing his guitar music, which was actually funny compared to the situation I was in with the dream/nightmare. But then, I start hearing guitar music and I actually said while asleep, "I can't hear you," while talking to the Devil. His voice begun to fade and the guitar music got stronger.
And then I woke up.
I still think about it into the New Year, and I've tried to look at Dream Moods for an interpretation, with the different symbols and all, but I need an in-depth look at this. I need as expert of an opinion as possible. Could someone please help and tell me what it all means?

I was in a underground train station with a black suitcase.
So in the dream I was in an underground train station. I was wearing a black pencil skirt with a brown floral blouse. I was also wearing my hair up in a bun and was wearing short black heels. I could see half of the train stopped. The other half was a wall that you needed to turn to see the rest of the train. I had my arms crossed against my chest with the suitcase in between. Now that I remember I was also wearing 3 blush pink bracelets. I think they were round crystals or beads but they looked like rose quartz color. I also had them in my right hand.When I was walking I had an uneasy feeling. I wasn’t scared I was just uneasy. Like something was going to happen. Then the dream ended. If someone could interpret this it would be nice. Thanks to anyone that replies. Have a good day. 😊😊😊

I dreamt that the sky broke open..
Super vivid dream. I was outside with a bunch of people doing (idk), and then we heard really loud thunder. I looked up and noticed it was cloudy/overcast, but nothing to cause thunder.
Then it happened again while I was already looking up. The whole atmosphere moved erratically, like if you were to watch something splash water, but while under the water (the best way I know how to explain it). The clouds would move up and down, expand and contract, causing these thunderous noises so loud it reverberated thru your body.
I then looked around me to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating, and saw that when the thunder hit, people looked like they were being lifted up just a tad, like there was less gravity for a second.
Then the finale; heard this rumbling, like rolling thunder and earthquakes at the same time. I stared in misbelief, shock, and awe. There was this vibrating section like a crack in the sky as the atmosphere looked to be rising at the single point. A loud woofing sound as all the clouds in the sky were being sucked up into this point… and then BOOM… the sky broke… a hole in the atmosphere… only black space behind it.
Earthquakes started, a constant whooshing sound as the the hole was sucking up everything. Gravity started getting wonky. People were being lifted up into this broken sky (smaller and lighter people first). I grabbed my gf hand as she was being lifted up, and I was still on the ground. I ran like hell to a building, and overpass, an underground subway, anything. I screamed at the people I passed to RUN, I kept chanting it over and over as I sprinted.. until I wasn’t.
Gravity was gone, I was being lifted now too. A foot off the ground that realization hit me. I froze. That moment just before you feel fear overcame me. I froze, adrenaline surged, the hairs on my body rose, a deep inhale… END
I wake up in my bed with a tiny adrenaline rush, completely still, and very awake.
This was the most vivid and intense dream I’ve had in years. I can still remember the the sight of the sky like it just happened, the sounds of the thunder and panic, and the feeling of the wind rushing and being sucked up. It was nuts.

Lost, insanity, cannibalism
Hello all, i recently had a nightmare after taking an Anima Mundi Dream liquid. Wanted to see if anyone here has an idea of what this dream could mean or if i should just chalk it up to being a nightmare induced by a dream liquid.
The dream goes like this
I’m a sort of spiritual leader of a small congregation. We are traveling in a sort of catacombs or hallways. One of my followers becomes upset with my leadership and decides him and several others are leaving through a door I’ve told them do not go through. I use some kind of telekinetic powers and force the door closed and no one can leave.
We seem to be stuck underground, there are these passage ways that lead deeper down into the ground and some have wooden doors, some passages are little more than rocky holes in the earth leading down. The people being to split up and take their own ways, the previous followers of mine in these passages begin to lose their minds and go insane. One passageway i see people go into , but never out of, it seems they are eaten by the other people down there - or simply killed. Not all my followers leave but many try to find their own path in this catacomb type cave place
I’m walking the hallways unsure what to do, the passages have people staring at me from them, some of the hole type passages i see a woman muttering insanity words with too large of eyes and they’re bloodshot. It seems the people once they enter a passage they cannot come back out.
The dream ends there
