What are possible meanings for dreams of walls?

Wallets are associated with what they’re used to carry: money, bank cards, identity documents, and so on. Now branch out from there and your dreams have all sorts of subjects they can address and ways to tell the story.

Finding a wallet belonging to someone else can symbolize borrowing money or accepting someone’s financial support. It can symbolize an unexpected windfall. It can mean finding within yourself a new capacity to make or manage money.

Losing a wallet can be used to tell a story about a crisis in your life, especially a financial crisis. It can be associated with feelings of panic and making poor decisions. After losing a wallet a person might ask, “How could I be so stupid?” A dream could use that association to create symbolism for a situation where you used poor judgment or mucked up your finances.

Losing a wallet is a theme that pops up in dreams when a person is in a personal crisis. You lost something important related to your self-worth, finances, identity, or personality, such as a job or relationship. A lost wallet can symbolize a crisis of confidence. The connection between the dream and yourself is found in the thoughts, feelings, and emotions triggered by thinking that you lost your wallet. Now your task is to identify how it connects with something you recently thought or felt.

Losing a wallet can symbolize losing something else that’s important to you, such as your emotional or personal security. A common fear when a wallet is lost is that someone will find it and exploit the situation by using your credit cards, stealing your identity, or even showing up at your home. Your sense of security is lost.

Rummaging through someone’s wallet can symbolize invasion of privacy or getting a view into his or her personal life. For example, you find out your spouse has been secretly reading your personal email, and dream about catching the person with your wallet. Or you see a friend’s bank statement.

But don’t stop there. Dreams are creative storytellers and can test your reactions. For example, you find a wallet that’s not yours. What do you do? Search for the person who owns the wallet and return it, or “finders keepers?” Your reaction says a lot about the sort of person you are.

Then again, perhaps subconsciously you know the wallet symbolizes something that belongs to you anyway and you have every right to keep it. You can tell the difference by your feelings about finding it and what you decide to do with it.

I dreamt what happens after I died

This has never happened to me before and its kind of freaking me out. Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this before because nobody in my circles that I asked ever had.

This is the dream:

This was a few nights ago and im still fucked about it.

I was at my childhood home, my parents were really old and frail (75/80’s, they’re actually in their 40’s irl) I felt like i was 24/25 (Im 19). The tv was on and I was cleaning not paying attention when the tv had a really loud alarm. The news guy said that america has fallen and showed huge street fights with fire everywhere and people getting shot and falling by the hundreds. The same dude came back on with another alert and said that the outsider countries that were waiting to attack have just declared war too. The phone rang and I watched my younger brother (18) answer it and hang up. I couldn’t hear him or anything else. He didnt say anything but him and my other brother (17) went upstairs, got a bag and left the house. I knew they got drafted to fight and I knew they didnt say anything bc they weren’t going to come back. My dad got up and hobbled to the door and said he had to protect the family, but I knew he didn’t want to go. He was doing it out of duty, and everyone knew he was too old he would die for certain. My mom was crying and so was my little sister (9) and so was I. Then there was another emergency alarm on the tv to immediately get underground and put something between your teeth and bite down, North Korea was coming. I got my family to go the basement and I was coming behind them, still upstairs when I looked out the window and saw a blinding white light growing and I knew I was going to die right then and I had this huge feeling that I had let it get to that point. It was MY fault that it did.
The light became everything and then it became all dark and my eyes adjusted to see that I was in a moving hallway of sorts. It in space, made out of space, and I could see outside of the area but I was confined to the inside. It was like a black space snake and I was inside riding it like a train. Some of the space scales of the snake worked as doors and I could go into points of time in the future/past, of my life which was a tiny section of it overall and in general too. I looked inside one room but I didn’t go in. It was just trees in a swamp. I opened this other door that had a vibe™️ to it and instantly I was met with this warm yellow glowing light that filled the entire room (which had no walls, it was just the light) and it had the MOST loving feeling ever. It felt like the ultimate motherly warm love ever and I could just melt into it and be happy and safe forever and I was about to step in when the light shifted and formed the face of a lady. The lady opened her eyes and looked directly dead in my eyes and without opening her mouth or anything she said loud and clear: Speak. The sound was in my body and everywhere at the same time.

And then I woke up. And I remained fucked up because I’ve never died in a dream and continued dreaming ever before.

Also my interpretation of the dream was: i have to speak on what ive been meaning and KNOW i need to speak on in order to not let bad things happen. Im trying to write a book and Ive been too scared to start.

This has never happened to me before and its kind of freaking me out. Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this before because nobody in my circles that...

Can anyone tell me what my dream is about??

I have a dream about myself in a gta V type of place but I'm not in a game because it's a real experience as i would call it. I've made a crime of some sort and police chases after me. Later that time i found myself in the sky in a motorcycle with wings (it really looks like the ones from gta V) and i would fly around the city to not get caught, after a while i landed myself outside the map (maybe it's the game I'm in). You really can tell if it's outside the map if there's border (steel fence with barbed wire) and you can't go there unless you force or find a way to get there, the bike really did the job and as if like I can go there anytime without force. I met a girl there which i think is also lost and amazed in the place and after we met she was kinda shy and long after that i saw that we hugged each other and float slowly like we were meditating, i hugged her and it feels special like i wanted that so bad that I don't want it to end like this is the thing i've been finding for so long. She then turned her back against me while hugging her and we dolphin kick (swimming technique) at the same time floating up a bit until i woke up (the end really is a wierd twist that's why i need your help maybe there's something about it like a meaning about me). The outside map looks like a barb wired steel fence like i said with an unfinished hollow block walls parallel to it some sort of an unfinished building maybe.

Protagonist in my dream was a colour shifting scorpion

Hi

So, I already read upon dream interpretations. There's different meanings of scorpions and different meanings of the scorpions colour. My problem: the scorpions colour switched whilst I was trying to catch it in order to safe my family and also trying not to get stung myself.

Might anyone be so kind, trying to figure out what my subconscious self is telling me? Ask anything though, I'm an opened book.

It started yellowish, sitting on the wall. When it run towards me, it turned dark red. I ran away from it. fell downstairs whilst it was chasing me. Suddenly it was like black? But also had features I think in maroon? I was scared of it and it was quite aggressive towards me (running at me, waving its stingy thingy, trying to attack me) and I tried my best to get rid of it before it could get to my grandma.

Help.

UPDATE: my girlfriend is dreaming but awake at the same time???

This is an update to my post the other day about my girlfriends creepy sleep walking.

So there’s been some interesting occurrences since that post pertaining to her sleep walking. First of all, she refuses to see a doctor and insists that she’s ok so idk what to do about that.

Second, I found out it only occurs at a particular time. I’ve witnessed it twice so far and her episodes occur around 3am each time, regardless of when she falls asleep. Last night we were able to avoid an episode by having her stay up past 3am. She eventually fell asleep around 4:30. She said whenever it happened before it also happened at 3am.

Third, the second time this occurred was really bad. For one, she almost hurt herself really bad. I was pretending to sleep when I saw her at the glass door that leads to a back porch. She unlocked it and started walking outside. I quickly jumped out of bed to get her. When I was leading her back inside, she kept saying “she has to go”.

Other than trying to walk into the snow, she almost cut herself. She got up out of bed to go to the washroom, but before leaving my room, she grabbed a knife from my desk and placed it on the bedside table. While she was in the washroom I hid the knife. When she got back, she kept repeating “Where did you put it, we need it for the ritual.” I just kept comforting her and hugging her to make sure she stays in bed. Multiple times she also tried to grab a box cutter until I took it away and hid it as well.

She also did stuff that her fully awake self doesn’t know about. She said she wanted to watch videos so she went on YouTube on her phone and started playing a really creepy Alice in Wonderland Remix (Link: https://youtu.be/tnVij0qC6No). While it was playing, she asked why I was crying (I wasn’t) and wiped my ‘black tears’ away. When I showed her in the morning she said that she’s never heard that song before. The weird part is that she searched specifically for that video. There is also a rosary hanging on my wall, but it’s hidden behind a tapestry thing. She lifted the tapestry and said to take it down because ‘it’ doesn’t like it. She then told me in the morning that she didn’t even know it was there.

After a while, it appeared as if she was fully awake finally. We were talking about regular stuff, she was watching videos on her phone, eating a snack, etc. If it weren’t for these other occurrences, I wouldn’t have been able to tell if she was conscious or not, which scares the fuck out of me. However, every few minutes or so she would stare at me super creepily with her eyes wide open. She would also stare at the glass where ‘it’ is supposedly located and talk to it, usually telling it to stop or something. If she ever fell asleep again, she would revert back to her obvious dream like state. Once she said she heard three chimes, that it was her time to go, and that they were getting impatient. When I asked her in the morning, she said that ‘they’ wanted her blood for a ritual.

In the morning, she told me that there were these words that she isn’t supposed to say or something. She doesn’t know what they mean or what would happen, but two of the words were Bolotov and Salazar.

I know this sounds like a fake creepy pasta or something but honest to God it’s not. I don’t know how to help her. I can’t force her to see a doctor. If I leave her to sleep at her place, she might hurt herself or somebody else.

Night terror or odd dream

So the dream began with me lying on my left side in my bed with my blanket partially over my face. I could see some of the wall in front of me and the window on the wall to the left. I could feel a presence in the room and was frozen, but couldnt really move. That's what makes me think it was a night terror. Then I could hear rough whispering from a man that I couldnt make out.

Then he said something like "you stay there nice and quiet while I go take care of your family and nothing will happen to you." I was frozen in a cold sweat, I could feel my teeth grinding together and my eyes welling up with tears. All i could do was stare at the wall in front of me and couldnt really focus on that.

I thought to myself something like, "i really thought I'd behave much differently in a situation like this. This man is going to come back and even if he kills me i can warn my family upstairs." I surged with courage and adrenaline, but all I could do was stick one arm out from under the covers slowly and I touched the man's hand. He moved it and I tried so hard to grab it again and his fingers slipped through mine. It was like I was trying to sit up in cement, but i managed to and watched him climb the stairs from my room to the upstairs. (Just like the actual layout of my room) i stood and followed him, again so slowly, and then I screamed and screamed and screamed.

That was when my dad came running down the stairs and I was standing there in a tshirt screaming and crying. I told him I'd had a nightmare and we both went back to bed.

When I laid down I blinked my eyes and I was actually awake. Staring at the wall with my arm outstretched off the bed like I'd been reaching. I'd never actually stood at the bottom of the stairs screaming, yet it had felt so real.

Was this a night terror with a possible out of body experience? What does a dream like this mean?

So the dream began with me lying on my left side in my bed with my blanket partially over my face. I could see some of the wall in front of me and the window on...
