TW: vaginal excavation is the only way I can put it

So this is probably the weirdest dream I ever had. I have no idea what it is supposed to mean.

I'm laying on my bed and I curl my body upwards and look into my vagina. I can see deep into it, like an x-ray. There seems to some objects inside so I begin to pull the objects out.

The objects I pull out are as follows:
A couple of hair ties
Plastic debris
A completely empty douche
Newspaper clippings
A almost full box of tampons
A bristle hairbrush

The hairbrush caused the most concern because when I pulled it out, it was the only object that had obviously been there for a long time and as I retrieved it, a small fly flew out with it. When I took the hairbrush out, I instantly felt a release of pressure in my lower abdomen. There was a tiny ache that lingered.

Seriously... what the hell?

A, dream?

Last night I had a dream, some guy stole a set my guitar strings, so I knocked him out with a wrench and beat his face in. With each punch I would get the mortal combat X-ray with his teeth breaking.

He then woke up, and beat my face in; again, I would see teeth break with every punch. But, I woke up and we did it over and over again. Before I took a wrench to his car engine.

I was also a kid in kindergarten, for some reason.

It was just a dream about me beating some guy up and him beating me up over and over again, which was very interesting.

Dream meaning about deceased

I had a dream I went to the grave of my deceased husband his grave is a tomb so I entered but not alone I had my two children with me, I found his body laying down on my bed in his tomb, one of my daughters went in the bed and cuddled up to him, my other daughter was jumping on his body, I told her to get off and do something else, so she went out and played else where.
I was worried about his condition I wanted to check via x- ray that his body didn't have cracked ribs or any damages from her jumping on him, But he was fine, so didn't get the go ahead with an x-ray..
I started stroking his face saying his name over and over again telling him "I love you come back to me", his body started to regenerate and looking healthy again he even had long hair but he didn't in real life, (as though he was waiting for a long time to have his hair long, 🤷) I was woken before the dream could finish.
Could there be any specific dream meaning to this even symbolically that I'm not understanding.

I had dream about a being trapped

I was in this small house with some people in it. We all had powers. I had X-ray vision, I can go through walls, and I can melt iron. There was this Trunchbull grandma looking person, I'll call her Grandma. She seemed kind of suspicious so I used my x-ray vision to look in her room. I saw this pretty blonde girl chained on to a wall sitting on a bed and I fell in love or something. I walked in the room and asked her if she was trapped, she said yes and I started to melt off the chains. Grandma started to walk in because there are three entries. I hid in a closet and she was chained back up. The girl asked me to leave so I wouldn't get caught but I got caught and was kicked out of the house. I ran into a forest and saw a tribe of people. They took me in and I mentioned the girl and they wanted to help me and they sent a person to help me. The next we went back to the house and we enterer her room but she seemed hypnotized, I broke the chains and I pulled her and told her to come with me but she never answered, I pulled her, I pushed her but she never replied. I was so sad because I desperately want to save her from Grandma but she never caved. I heard someone coming and I left the room. I used x-ray vision to see what was happening inside and Grandma took the girl and I never saw her again. but I ended Joining the tribe by the end of the dream.

I had a vivid dream where I died and became a ghost

The start of the dream is weird , as usual. I dreamed I saw an UFO crash into the woods , and a person I knew went there and took a photo of the crash site. Then some government guy showed up and went to the crash site , idk what he was doing but he came back to me and my friend and told us to stay away , to not share any pics of what happened. Then after a while I send a text message to my friend with just one word: Send. I guess it means I was asking for him to send pics of the crashed UFO. But then… a freaking SWAT team shows up, it was only 2 guys but still , I panicked so much , I saw them walking down the street towards my home , I tried to hide inside my house , but for some reason i decided to give up and step outside. I raised my arms and got shot in the head. I didn’t felt anything. Then the scenario changes and apparently they are making a movie about my death. I start to wander around my neighborhood, I know that I became a ghost. I tried to touch things to see if I phase through them , but I can still touch , even people , but they don’t notice. So I just keep walking around and exploring the world , because I can just go anywhere and witness anything. I forgot most of it but there’s a emotional part where somehow I’m able to go back in time , moments after my death and I see my mom at the supermarket and realize she’s about to go home and see my body in the front yard. I feel devastated. I even go back in time to witness my own death , but for some reason I see it in “x-ray” , the bullet penetrating my skull. I forgot what else I explored as a ghost , but in the end of the dream , I walk into a couple having sex , and their laptop is on , the screen is blocked so I try to communicate by typing in the space where you are supposed to type the password. The girl notices and types back saying “If this is a joke go bother someone else” and then I typed “I can prove i am dead” and the dream ended. So that does it all mean?
