What are possible meanings for dreams of vomiting?
The simplest way of describing vomiting is that you need to relieve yourself of something. You can’t hold something down anymore.
Begin there. What do you need to get out of you? It could be guilt, pain, burden, expectations, or negativity.
Vomiting means eliminating something from yourself that’s harming you from within, something you can’t hold something down anymore, such as toxic feelings and emotions. For example, a woman dreams about vomiting heavily into a toilet. The vomit is black and fills the toilet bowl. A thought crosses her mind that she really needed to get it out of her because it was making her sick. What she sees in the black mess in the toilet is the childhood abuse she endured. She’s an adult and has moved on, but has held down all the pain and bitterness. She can finally let it go.
Vomit comes out of the mouth and the mouth is used to speak, so needing to express something, to say something, is an especially strong possibility. Or it can characterize something that’s spoken as vile, nasty, disgusting, worthless, premature.
Vomiting is used to symbolize a sudden outpouring of talk or feelings. Perhaps you had to listen to someone ramble on and on, or a friend poured out her troubles.
Vomiting can indicate revulsion. The thought of something makes you sick.
Vomiting food is a theme in the dreams of people with eating disorders. It reflects the belief that vomiting food will lead to weight loss, and is graphic illustration of their relationship with eating.
It’s also possible that vomiting in a dream is caused by an upset stomach or the feeling of wanting to throw up.
Vomiting champagne in the dream of a high school girl is an expression of her feelings about people not being very good friends. She’s sick of her peers being fake and inconsistent, one day acting like friends and the next day acting distant. Champagne is used by the dream to symbolize friendship because of its association with celebration and friendship.
A dream about vomiting pieces of penis expresses graphically the dreamer’s feelings about giving oral sex. Even the thought of it makes her sick.

first sleep paralysis I think?
HELP I need to know what I'm typing is sleep paralysis or not. at least to my knowledge, it is what it seemed like.
I was dreaming something very vividly. I know for a fact that I was in the middle of a deep sleep. but suddenly, there was this feeling which filled up my whole body. the feeling is when your legs fall asleep. *pins and needles*, I guess its called. so my whole body was pins and needles, spiking through my arms and legs. then I opened my eyes open, thinking it was a nightmare but I tried to move my arms, no response. I couldn't lift my arms or legs and I genuinely tried moving my mouth and I couldn't.
it was like I was cemented within me. I didn't see a demon, for I kept my eyes closed. but it lasted for a few seconds and I felt like I could throw up. it was over and I could move again and my arms still hurt and feel heavy and tired. my chest is heavy too. I was literally paralyzed and all I thought was 'this is the end. I guess.'
I can't at all express the sheer panic and the moment but I tried.

I had a dream where I uncontrollably shit my pants for more then a couple of hours...
I might delete this because I can't be bothered creating an alt, but I have to share this somewhere since I just had this dream.
---------
Dreamstart-
I was playing videogames (LAN) with some friends. An attractive girl there complimented me for my music choices (don't know the girl) and suddenly out of the blue, I shit myself.
I run into the restroom to clean up, shitting some more, then when't back outside. Immedietly after I get outside, I again start shitting myself.
The dream gets hazy but I remember walking around, with shit in my pants, going up to my father and asking for help. He almost vomited and couldn't stand near me and said something like "Hell no I am not giving you a lift with this smell". I sort of didn't argue with that and just kept running, still shitting my pants.
Then I am in a fancy hotel, and I am knocking on someones door to beg them to use their bathroom. Once I am stepping inside, they notice the smell and I keep saying "Somethings fkt up with my stomach". I get to the bathroom, and its like a glass cage in the corner of the main room, and there where people having a party.
So I am in that glass cage, which has a shower and a toilet, standing under the shower, cleaning, pooping, scooping poop into the toilet. And outside, in the apartment in the main room, where people having a small "party". At first they where disgusted, but shortly after, and for a while they were laughing. I didn't feel ashamed, just frustrated, because I had no control over this. But I was angry.
So angry that at one point, the people in the party got an elderly couple from outside to see what was going on. The old lady goes all the way to the class cage, opens it, all while mockingly laughing. But she steps inside. So in my rage, without thinking I take a scoop of shit from the toilet (which for clooged to the brim with shit) and covered her whole face in it. She was laughing the same the whole time.
Then I wake up.
Can someone help me decypher this? Is this just a random weed dream or is my head telling me something?
I might delete this because I can't be bothered creating an alt, but I have to share this somewhere since I just had this dream.

I already know what this means but want to see what you guys think.
I fell asleep while on my anxiety medication. I took a nap, which I usually never do. In this dream I wanted to just sleep but people were treating me like garbage. In my dream someone pissed on my face while I was curled up on the floor trying to sleep. At another point multiple people were dumping vomit, diarrhea and piss on me but I didn’t care because I just wanted to sleep. The rooms I was in were dark and the faces were unseeable, (well I didn’t really try to see how it was I was too busy trying to fall back asleep) I woke up and I thought to myself for a little bit and realized that I honestly didn’t care.

My nightmare from a while ago, isn’t like it normally is. Please read
For some context, I’m a teenage female, and this nightmare or night terror has happened since I was 4 up until two years ago when I saw the man in the nightmare, after I had the nightmare that night in my bffs house in Illinois. I haven’t had the nightmare since then, but I had it last night. I felt like throwing up after I had woke up, showered and got dressed.
I had my usual nightmare from a long time ago, and it was all normal. I was in a old lime green Cadillac with a oakwood dashboard, in the back left seat, with people who aren’t my family but are in my dream. A little boy sat next to me, he had pale skin, dark hair but the lightest blue in his eyes, and a sweater to match the hue of his eyes. The driver in front of me, was a man with broad shoulders, and a white sweater covering them. I couldn’t see anymore of his features from my seat but the woman in the top right was gorgeous. She sat with good Posture, her pink dress hugging her curves, as long with her sweater on top. As the car drove up the dirt road on a hill, I see the man in black (his face is covered but I saw his face the last time I had this nightmare at my bffs house in Illinois but then saw him at the cafe the day after, but with a little girl with him.) then it crashes.
But here’s where things get off.
I get out of the car crash like normal, the people that were in the car are no where to be seen, like normal. Then I turn to my right, to see the man in all black. But when I see the man, instead of starting to turning to my left and running downhill, I stand still. I stand still but firm in the ground. I, still staring at where his face would be, see him walk towards me. He walks with a slow, steady pace. Each foot touching the dirt, making a print. Soon, he is standing in front of me, with two feet of space between us. I can now see his face from underneath his hood he wore, and the wind blew. The wind had never blown in the nightmare before, but the wind hit his face, and he had no reaction.
He then focuses on my eyes, and starts to speak. His face emotionless but the words being said as a warning, I can’t remember what he said yet, but I’ll try and remember it.
If anyone could have the slightest idea to what some of this means, please say anything. Even if you think it may not help, I’ll take what I can get.

I am kind of disgusted at myself for having that kind of dream...
Before I talk about my dream, I have to put you in context: There is this young girl. She's fairly cute, I get along with her pretty well, we are friends on Facebook and Snapchat. She happens to be one of my (many) cousin's daughter. Now, I will occasionally react to her Facebook posts (mainly she she posts memes) but we actually see each other very rarely. I almost forgot to mention that I am more than double her age at 31 (Will turn 32 next month) while she is 15 years old. Also, I have to be honest: While I am no pedophile, I am a bit of a perv.
Now, last week, I had this disgusting dream. I don't even remember what led to what happened in my dream. We were both on a bed, completely naked, and were doing nasty stuff. I clearly rememebr not ''going all the way'' but we still did something a 31 years old should *never* do with a 15 years old, even if she consent. And that's the weird part: she did consent, and was even enjoying it. The dream was very short. Or at least the part I remember was: Less than 60 seconds.
When I woke up, I almost wanted to vomit. Of the few times we met in person, she never once did something that could trigger my pervy side. Even her Facebook page is completely free of anything that could be labeled as sexy like a picuture of her in a swimsuit or something (her ''sexiest'' photo is her in a sleeveless shirt going a peace sign)
I only had this dream once (thankfully), and while it's a hard thing to forget, I generally managed to not let it affect me. However, what could it mean? I've heard plenty of people dreaming of being victim of pedophilia (mostly people who were victims themselves when they were younger) but I don't think I've ever heard people of dreaming they were the pedophile themselves, let alone with a willing victim...
