What are possible meanings for dreams of yards?
A back yard in a dream can symbolize the background of your life. The background can be something overlooked, ignored, secret, private, hidden or out of view, especially from the public. A front yard, on the other hand, is typically visible from the street and readily viewable by the public, so in dreams, a front yard tends to be used to symbolize something about you that’s a public part of your life.
For example, a man dreams about discovering a raised garden area in his back yard and sprucing it up, thinking it would be a great place to teach yoga. He desires to make teaching yoga more prominent in his life, and “raised area” in this dream means “raised in importance.” Yoga is a private part of his life, in the background. He works in IT by day and teaches yoga by night, and his IT co-workers know nothing about his “secret passion.” These two areas of his life are separate, but that’s about to change.
Robbers coming through your back yard can symbolize ways you harm yourself or miss out on something without being fully conscious of it. Think of the symbolism as like the phrases “taken from right beneath your nose,” and “undermining yourself.” Robbers stealing from you is a physical representation of a personal situation, and the fact that they come through the back door could mean you have a blind spot. For example, you don’t see that your tendency to criticize harms your relationships, but you do sense that people are reluctant to get close to you.
The same sort of dream imagery can mean that someone is sneaking behind your back, such as when a child disobeys you, a spouse has an affair, or a neighbor spreads rumors.
A back yard can symbolize the past because in dreams, anything located behind you or your home in a dream can symbolize the past.

I dreamed of scary men talking to me through my window. Not seeing me. I could feel them through the wall. Help ASAP.
The dream is like this:
I'm sleeping or watching my phone in my bed (in the dream) and I feel knocking on the wall behind me, the whistling. Then I hear voices of men, which I don't know and theyr'e trying to gwt me to answer, like construction workers on the street talking to females (I am one) ? Yeah, like that. It's very scary.
Sometimes part of the window is open, so you could put your hand in but wouldn't be able to GET in no matter what you try. They never do, and I never see their faces. It's ussually two men talking but I feel there's more.
It happes on veeeeeeery rare occasions, though I don't know what triggers it.
Some facts that could help you help me:
I live in a one story home and we don't have a gated frontyard, so anyone can come up to my bedroom's window and tap it or get their hands inside if it is completely open. My friends have done it during the day sometimes when I was younger.
My bed is directly under the window, so if I'm sleeping I'm right under it. I don't have blinds or curtains, but my windows are translucent (you can only see the light coming through... And the shadows) not transparent.
I'm a female and live with my two younger siblings (a girl and a boy) and my mom.
I have a... Sensitive... Relationship with my dad... At least on my side. I just don't like him as a person. It's better with my grandpa on my mom's side but I think it's because I feel distance from him, emotional distance, so I can be fine while I'm with him. On the other hand, I look just like my dad.
I have had some other male reference models. I don't say role models because I didn't want to follow them, I just liked them. I say liked because one is a bitch now, and the other one, the amazing one, my favorite person in this universe, passed away about 9 years ago.
I want to knwo exactly or as close as possible to what this dream means...

Disturbing dream - please help interpret
[TW: disturbing imagery of animals in distress]
I Posted on a different subreddit but no one has given me any answers, so I’m posting here.
Hello, I’m a 20 year old female and last night I had a very very disturbing dream. Let me start off by saying this dream happened the day I tried to reconnect with my mother after cutting her off for over a year (thanks Forgiveness Therapy) , and I haven’t really spoken to my family in months, (not for lack of trying they just don’t contact me back). I used to live in the country where it was commonplace to see cows, livestock, and deer everywhere.
In this dream I was about 10. My mother, step father, sister(16 in dream), my brother (13 in dream) , and I were in my step dad’s old truck going to a carnival/ petting zoo sort of thing. Everything seemed to be okay, we were laughing and talking together like we were a family, until we got to our destination. We all got out of the truck and walked up to this barn, when we went inside I noticed a long-horned bull behind steel bars with its head sticking out from the bottom, it looked like it was dying and in search of water. I was concerned but everyone just kept walking and joking/laughing, it was like I was the only one who cared.
All of the sudden the scenery changed and we were walking down a paved road to get to our old house, I looked to the grass side of the road and a tractor had crashed into a barbed wire fence with cows surrounding the wreck, some of them dead. I remember being worried about the driver because he was nowhere to be seen. We kept walking, I looked to another pasture and saw dozens of horses, one was laying on the ground with metal chains wrapped around its feet and mouth, again I was freaking out a little but kept moving on. Finally when we came to a stop I saw one of the pasture owners working on the fence a couple yards away from the horses. I quickly ran up to her while my family stayed behind, heading off the paved road onto a dirt road near our old house. I ran up to this lady and said “hey, that horse over there is in distress and I think we should help it, also there was a crash and I can’t see the driver-“ she cut me off saying “Don’t worry about that, That horse has a bum leg and always does that, go away” I was thinking to myself “what a bitch” and walked away towards my family.
We started walking back the way we came, down the paved road again and I saw the deeply disturbing scenes again, finally I spoke up to my family , “ hey, we should really help these animals and I saw a a tractor wreck I think we should check out” but no one listened to me.
Suddenly we were back in the barn and I was face to face with the long-horned bull, only this time it was dead. Disturbed I pushed my way out of the barn and ran to a near by open area, my family close behind. They looked at me like I was crazy, scoffed, and turned to talk amongst themselves. The last thing I remember was trying to get my mother to talk to me, crying and pleading for her to just listen so we could help those animals and the driver of the tractor but again, no one was listening. A flash of the dead bull’s eyes popped up and I snapped awake.
Please help me try to figure this dream out, it scares the shit out of me and I don’t know what to make of it. I’m also open to questions.

Slow motion battle
So I just woke up from a dream. It was dark out and my aunt went outside in my dream. Then she started running so me and my sister went outside to see what it was I went down the steps towards the front of my driveway and my sister went through the front yard where my aunt was going. My aunt grabbed my sister and started running towards the door of the house. Then I saw she was running from a rabid animal so I started running up the steps but I was going so slow. On my way towards the steps to my door I passed by a standing toddler. The rabid fox was right infront of the doorway so I swung a stick I had grabbed failing to hit the animal but it still ran away. As I was about to go up the steps to my door way I remembered the toddler just a few feet back and knew it wasn’t going to survive if the fox came back so I went back for it. But as I was going towards the door which was only feet away. I saw the fox coming back at full speed and I knew we weren’t going to make it back inside so me and the baby stood infront of the fox with the baby in front of me. I tried swinging the stick unable to land any hits much like before but found that this time the animal seemed unfazed. And then he bit the baby infront of me. And I just didn’t know what to do I didn’t save the baby like I should’ve and kept it behind me but I also didn’t wanna leave it even though it was getting bit. I just had this feeling we were going to both die after that moment and then I woke up.
Im trying to find some symbolism here but I can’t seem to. If anyone can try and see what this means please let me know. I don’t understand the point of the baby showing up in my dream when it was random to me cause I didn’t know the baby. And I don’t understand why the fox came back once I got the baby and was no longer scared by the stick I was swinging. Or why all my movements seemed so slow and my accuracy was completely off.
What was the meaning and symbolism behind my dream? What did it all mean and why did it wake me at that point?

Figures staring directly at me
So I had this dream just a few days ago.
A little backstory: Me and my wife are living right next to her parents house, both our houses are ground leveled, no stories or whatever. Usually when I need something from her parents house I just jump by, it takes two seconds.
So back to the dream - I’m dreaming that I’ve woken up midnight, in my bed, and for some reason I feel like I’ve forgotten to take something from their house, I just can’t remember what it was. So I get up quickly, open the door, and make my way to their house in the dark. As I approach the door, I figured that it’s probably locked because it’s late at night, but I tried to pull the handle anyways, and nothing, it’s locked. Usually when the door’s locked I just knock to check if there’s anyone inside the house that might open up, but since no one answered, I moved over to their backyard to gaze through the side window and into the (lit) house to see if there’s anyone there.
And then it happened - as I take a look through the window and into the kitchen, I spot three figures staring directly at me, with a freezing look. I couldn’t even see their faces properly, because their eyes were all staring directly at me, fixed, as if they waited for me to come over and check the window. For a few seconds it felt like forever and I just stood there, grounded on the spot, staring at them, completely stunned and taken off-guard. It was scary, I genuinely felt like I can’t move a bone in my body. After what seemed like forever (even though it did last just a couple of seconds) the dream slowly crumbled and I woke up, sweating like i ran a freaking 60 mile marathon or something.
That’s about it. It was a weird dream and a really weird experience. I have no idea what those figures resemble, if they do at all. I don’t remember reading or watching anything that could lead to a dream like this. And that’s pretty much it...
