Mother introducing her naked daughter to me!

I had a dream where i was just fighting zombies in call of duty black ops 3 (iam inside the game) after a while everything turns into a blue glowing cube inside a back bag, my friend gave me the back bag with the glow coming out of it asking me to take it to his home.

I take and go up the stairs and everything is bright, clean smooth and beatiful but as i go up the stairs everything turns to shit! Place gets darker and stairs gets broken down!

I kept going up until i met the friend's father, he tells me that everything thing wrong going on is only in my head, it seemed true because he was going up some staircase that from my view was completely broken down! He was like going up Air from my prespective! SO i decided to just go up like nothing happened even if the staircase isn't there (due to being broken down) but i just ended up falling through the Air two floors down!

IT hurt so much i just sat there for a few mins and then got up and started going up the broken down stairs, it went so BAD that i had to do critical jumps in order to be able to go up!

Then i finally reach the floor where my friend's home is, the floor looked clean and beatiful just like the whole Place when i first entered it!

The friend's mother opens the door, takes the bag my friend gave me, thanks me then says "Say hello to my daughter *name of daughter*" then the daughter comes out fully naked! I just look at the ground out of embrassement and then they look at me and the mother says "Is this boy dumb or what?" in a mocking way! I just leave!

Trigger Warning: Had a disturbing nightmare.

Had a nightmare I was on this 2nd floor parking lot parked in this car with this girl who was my "friend". It was night time and this guy was banging on my window with a crazed look on his face. I got this disgusting feeling he wanted to rape me and my friend.

I told her to put the car in reverse and drive. She was so frozen and I had to put it in reverse and she pressed the gas. I got out of the car and ran. The guy chased after me and I jumped off the 2nd floor. I cut his throat with my thumb nail and he died of blood loss. I ran off to a building to wash my bloody hands.

I came out and I saw an ambulance as well as a candlelight vigil. I saw people carrying our individual pics with flowers even tho I wasn't dead. The pic was of me in my college graduation. I remember seeing a white sheet covering most of his body except his feet. I was in this white grieving room with my family and I told them what the guy tried doing to me and I cried.

Note: 25F - I never have been raped in my life so idk why I had this dream. I mean I've been sexually harassed before but not recently.

Saw Russia Nuking the US

Ok so this could be some random dream that just happened with no meaning but it freaked me out, I have deja vu alot.

Ok so I was really tired one day so I took a nap and woke up to what felt like a super realistic feeling and I walked into my moms room and she told me Russia had sent missiles to us and we were in the insurance zone (pretty sure she meant impact zone but my dream said insurance lol) and they would arrive shortly, so we were waiting for a bit just not knowing what to do with our time and I told them "The US would surely retaliate and kill Russia" and my mom told me the East Coast had been wiped clean and we were next and we heard 3 loud beeps (kinda like a bomb or a timer) and a large flash of light blinded the room, my family could still see but I remember not feeling any pain and my skin on fire and it taking ten seconds to hit and I was mezmorized by this fire and not feeling pain and then sudden death hit. I woke up to 4 screens in which I only remember two of the options which were "relive last memory" and "relive life". I then woke up from my dream and was freaked tf out. Any meaning behind it?

I took a poop and put it in the dishwasher-- the strangest dream I've ever had

I'm at my aunt's house for a family dinner. I've been tasked to clean the dishes. I decide to take a quick poop and let it go through the dishwasher with the dishes 🤢😭😫 I wrapped it in tinfoil and set it above the utensils.

When I turned on the dishwasher, water started coming out of a light fixture on the ceiling. My aunt yelled at me to turn off the dishwasher, and to just use the dishes because they're probably clean. But I knew the truth...

So I'm frantically trying to discreetly open the dishwasher and clean everything before dinner starts. Oddly, there isnt that much poop. BUT for some reason, all the ingredients for our salad were in there! I was rinsing the salad with soap and water while urgently clean the utensils, all the while my fiance and my cousins walk around me.

I woke up confused and panicked as FUCK.

Dreamt I had a baby

Irl I am single and have no kids, I always thought I didn't want them but lately the "maybe one day" thoughts come around sometimes.

So it was a very peaceful dream, I was holding a little chubby baby girl that I understood to be mine. I was just walking around the house, holding her in one arm and cleaning up with my other hand. I fed her, burped her, then we sat on the couch and snuggled with my dog. I could see snow outside through the open windows. There was just an overall sense of peace and contentment. Then I woke up and felt disappointed to realize it was a dream and I don't have a baby.
