What are unemployment dreams about?

Hey guys, so When I was quite young I used to go to the skatepark a lot, was in a dodgy area but I grew quite close to the kids there and they were all older so I felt pretty safe, one night we were all there and some random dude who was clearly a bit unhinged came and stabbed one of the boys there, let’s call him josh, he died there, and I’ve had the same recurring dream about that event for the last seven years, on and off depending on how I’m feeling at the time I’ve noticed.
I used to smoke pot because it helped me not dream at all and meant I could avoid the nightmare, but my gf and I have decided to take a break from it for a while for our mental states and our wallets.
Last night I got pretty drunk and opened up to my partner about the dream and how I’d been feeling lately(unemployed and feeling a bit shit about it tbh) and then we just passed out.
I had the dream again except this time everyone else who was there and who are usually there in the dream were gone, and it was just josh and I, and where as I’m usually about 12 in the dream, I was the age I am now( 20) .
Went as usual the guy came and pulled the knife but this time instead of being a scared little kid as usual I just stood up, a grown man myself now and just screamed at the guy to fuck off, I repeat fuck off three times and tell him if he comes near me again I “fucking cut” him. He’s not scared, but he does leave.
I’m hoping that maybe opening up helped me resolve my issues about the whole thing but I’m not sure, I just want to hear some unbiased opinions on it
Thanks

I’ve spent the last 30 minutes trying to find anything that could be similar to what I dreamt, but had no luck.

The dream started out as my father at home, while my mum and I were at a restaurant/bar that she owned or managed.

(Mum had always worked hospitality while I was younger and dad was mostly unemployed. My dad was abusive growing up and in the dream he had a very mocking tone about him when there was any kind of interaction (now that I think about it, any dream he is in is always mocking). They are divorced and do not interact because of past behaviour and keeping us children safe. My dad also is currently fighting cancer.)

Further in to the dream, I am sent home by my mum and 2 bodyguards? Come along without my knowledge to get dad ready for something (unknown at the time). The next part is a small minute or so exchange of my dad being really hurtful with words and talking down on my work that I do and how I will fail, until my mum appears at home.

I hear the bodyguards say ‘he’s doing the dance’ (to escape I assume?) and then I turn around and my mum is holding my dad while his arms are bound and she is trying to shank him as they stand next to a dining table. I yell at her as loud as I can to stop and grab the first knife as she sticks her hand out to give it over willingly. This repeated at least a handful of times and they were all knives I currently own in the kitchen drawer. While going through this, my mum was looking at me like a confused puppy dog and shocked as to why I was stopping her from doing something that she thought was right. My dad was mockingly saying ‘oooh do it, stab me’ over and over again or something similar. He wasn’t afraid of being hurt nor was he fighting back. It was like he was gleeful and superior acting. My mum was confused why I was stopping her from killing my dad who had caused all this hurt from childhood to now and I felt really upset and had a pit in my stomach, but also a bit elated at the thought of ‘what if?’

After I had taken all the knives that were set on the table in my possession, I was still standing in the same spot in front of my mum while she held my dad in a lock. I told her it was wrong, the bodyguards started to escort my dad past me who made a comment I can’t remember (but very snide in tone, almost unappreciative) and my mum hugged me in one arm and started to walk with me behind them before I woke up.

I am so lost on the layers in this dream and need any insight to help calm and find the message behind it.

I had a dream last night and have been thinking about it all day today.

I was going to visit my grandma who had moved to a new lake house (in my dream... in real life my grandma has no plans of moving out of the house that she currently lives in as she’s been there for years). I was following the directions Google Maps provided when all of a sudden I found I had run out of road and was driving on a boat dock, about to crash into the water. Thankfully I stopped just short of the water, caught my breath and got out of the car. I ran over to hug my grandma as I hadn’t seen her in a long time (according to the dream, I see her often in real life) and I missed her (we’re thick as thieves). I was in the process of telling her what happened and we look back to see just the roof of my car as it was sinking into the water but the dock it was sitting on was still very much in tact.

In my real life:

I just graduated college and after a really bad experience with an employer am back on the job hunt. I do have money to last me while I’m not working, though, so it’s not a HUGE problem that I don’t have a job right now. It will become a huge problem if I don’t get even a small one within the next 3-4 months (the likelihood of that happening is zero. I am the queen of finding gainful employment). This in no way means I’m totally content with being unemployed right now. I’m not, but it’s more about wanting my life to have purpose.

My grandma lives alone (she’s 90 and widowed) and I worry about her a lot.

I was in at the beach chest deep in the water. I see a group of dolphins lined up and I can see a hump back whale at a distance. There are people at the beach as well. I see an orca under the water almost charging at me but it shoots out of the water really high up. I step back. Again it charges at me then goes even higher and almost lands on my, so I'm on the beach now. It charges one last time and falls on the sand almost hitting an older couple. They seemed startled for a little bit and sleep walking whole holding hands. I see the orca and I try to get people to help carry the orca back in the water.

The last time I had dream about orcas was a couple years ago when I was really stressed and struggling with my current relationship. Also like now I was unemployed and felt pretty overwhelmed by my emotions.

I just had an intense dream and am going to try and describe in as much detail as possible forgive my punctuation.
So I was in my apartment on the phone with my ex girlfriend who I still talk to and spend time with, and she was on facetime with an alternate reality version of her self and was talking about stripping and her day at her movie theater job ( she’s unemployed but talking to a movie theatre in real life I think). The stripping topic wasn’t un ordinary, but what I was seeing walking around my apartment with the lights out and no tv on was. My vision was constantly turning and blurred I was walking from the kitchen to my bed, and it always felt like I was only seeing out of my peripheral vision only turning my head to see infront of me but everything turning sideways and upside down completely disorienting me. After awhile of pacing from my kitchen to my bed I kept hearing a voice that I could not see asking me if I wanted to meet aliens and that I could go to their ship if I released myself through a meditative state. Something felt wrong and evil about it, but I gave in and fell on my knees by the foot of the bed and released myself to this mysterious entity. I immediately began to float and went through my roof and saw some neon green object in the sky that I was headed to. I began to just say oh nope nope nope nope and snapped back into my room and was floating with my feet about 3 1/2 4 feet off the ground looking at myself in a mirror I have in my room to see that I was wearing the clothes I fell asleep in. After a moment I looked a bit left of the mirror and saw a shadowy figure that was making me float, and was doing everything I could to scream to my ex girlfriend to call 911. After about 4 or 5 tries getting progressively louder she heard me and asked me why and what was wrong. The shadow figure disappeared and I fell to the ground the instant she responded to me. I began pacing in the dark again with the same distorted vision again just repeating call 911 call 911, and she kept asking why and said that she didn’t want to hang up on me and wanted to stay on the phone with me and would have the person she was FaceTiming call for me. It was then that my vision returned to normal and I told her to not call 911. She was getting irritated that I couldn’t explain what happened out of shock and fear of what I just saw, and started to get upset and said that I was not contributing to the conversation and she was going to hang up on me. After that I snapped awake in a totally different position than I fell asleep in. Not under the covers anymore but on top of them, and with the extra blanket I usually use as an extra pillow on the floor. What do you guys think ? Crazy dream while sleep walking ? Did I meet an alien or spirit or something ? Astral projection while sleeping ? Regardless I’m pretty disturbed and am looking to hear others prospectives. Thanks for reading this far all comments are deeply appreciated.
