Child
Church
Dead
Scream

Dream

Started by being next to an old church, a man dressed as a police officer from mid-1800s was stood there keeping everyone back who also appeared to be from the mid-1800's. People were talking about a body being found in the grave yard around the church and whispers of murder. After a while a man and two children, looking around 5 and 10, led me away, and the children headed home as we separated and I went with the man. It jumped to the following morning and I was once again going to the church. Another child was there, young around 6 or 7. I approached and asked where the original 2 children were, as I had the feeling I was expecting them there. He took me by the hand and led me to the graveyard where I saw them both through mist and just started screaming 'No' over and over. Dream ended as I dropped to my knees.

Dream

I was pregnant. I was with Carson and we were talking about what the name would be, I got to choose if it was a girl, he got to choose if it was a boy. I didn't like the name he picked out, and since we already had one kid (from a previous dream) that was a boy, and if this was a boy, maybe I would get to choose. He reluctantly agreed. I went into labor so we went to the hospital. The doctors were clearing out a special room for me but no one would tell me why, but the doctor said it was so they could fit more people in there so they could watch. When I finally got to the room, they were taking out the normal bed and replaced it with an archaic wooden table with straps. I asked the doctor what was going on. He said I didn't have a cervix and that was rare and he wanted people to watch. I was freaking out because I didn't like the wooden table. My mom showed up and tried to calm me down. I kept freaking out because I didn't know what was going on. Finally, a female doctor came in to see what was wrong and I told her I didn't want to give birth like this. After a few minutes of discussion, she decided she was going to take over instead of the other doctor, and she brought in a normal hospital bed and took out the wooden one. I was laying on the bed and asking the doctor questions (it was established that we've been acquaintances since elementary school). I asked her if I was gonna be able to push out the baby without a cervix. She said we'll figure it out. My mom wasn't happy with that answer, but I told my mom I trusted this doctor. The doctor told me that it's good I have a second kid now because the first one wasn't getting stimulated enough. (From a previous dream, I had someone else watch him and as far as I knew, he only stayed in one room of the house. I realized I hadn't seen him in so long and I was questioning if I was good enough to even have another kid) I gave birth fairly easily, but after a few moments of crying, the baby stopped and he couldn't breathe. They tried clearing his airways and I asked my doctor if this was my fault. She told me no and that this is just a complication that happens sometimes.

Dream

In my dream, my eldest child, Kota, took some kind of drug they were given by their friend (it should be noted that in reality, my child hasn't ever tried drugs and doesn't drink) and ended up kidnapping several kids, ranging in ages from 2 - 7, and bringing them to my house for safe keeping. In the dream, I lived in a big house deep in the forest with my husband and my youngest daughter. In the dream, I found out what was going on because I woke up (in the dream) to a little blonde girl on the side of my bed talking to me like I was her mom. I immediately got up and held her because she was crying, and started asking questions about what was going on. She told me some girl had brought her and others here and she missed her mommy. I found Kota and got angry, yelling that kidnapping is illegal and these kids are terrified and want to go home. Kota was still high on whatever drug they were given - by thar point, the messaging seemed to be that it was a fairy who had drugged them and it was the fairy's drug that was making Kota believe these kids needed to be saved. I told Kota that they'd lost their mind and they either need to return the kids, or I'd call the police. They kept saying I don't understand. I started walking around to figure out how many kids were there (I interacted with 3). When I tried to round up everyone to get to a car so i could return them to their homes, female lions and a bear showed up outside the house and were just blocking the exit, preventing us from leaving. I woke up from the dream still trying to figure out a way to return the children.

Breaking up
Child
Friend

Dream

I was talking to Kim about no longer being committed to each other for just her and I, we were splitting up but remaining under one roof, having seperate rooms. She seemed to agree that things weren't working and that we had changed and agreed living under the one roof for the kids made sense. She made a comment about how I want a daughter so much that I could now go out and find a new woman to do that with, as Kim refuses to have another child. I was suprised. As news eventually got out that I was now single, I started getting asked by multiple women to meet for coffee dates, including old friends who I thought I was friendzoned with. As I explained the situation and living arrangements with each, they all seemed okay and really cool with it. I half expected to hear from Heather, but it was only early on in the time frame of being single. So I assumed she hadn't heard yet. Heather's ex, told me he's still having therapy for mental health after their split. And said the best thing to do is try to forget about her. I Said, more than anything I didn't care for her as a partner at this stage, as I missed her as a friend more.

Beach

Dream

I was 17 again. I was hanging out with Ravane. She was kind of liking this nice guy we met at this place. (It was like a hangout zone for teens, sort of like a mall. But no one was shopping where we were. Also there was a beach lake like Nashville shores outside) we were walking around and decided to sit at a table. Then I spot Alexander. My other bff. I felt some distance in our relationship at this moment so I rushed over to him( probably because I haven’t seen him since high school, 12 years ago!!) I brought him back to the table Ravane and the guy who liked her were sitting at. I sit next to Alex. We got along well and he made me laugh so hard like he always use to. We all 3 got up and decided we are going outside to the beach (it looked just like Nashville Shores, lots of trash) we picked up the trash a little bit but stopped because there was too much, so I decided I was going to tell our RWB group we should do a volunteer trash pick up one day to clean up the beach. We walked along and it was 11 before we knew it. Ravane and me and Alex walked to her car. I spotted this girl look at Ravane, but her hair up, get 2 other friends and rush outside to fight us. I told her we need to get in the car quick because I saw what was about to happen. We do and she drives off in the other direction. We start laughing and we thought the girl was just jealous because Ravane didn’t do anything. Suddenly I was in an old ghetto apartment building that was falling apart. I couldn’t find Ravane and thought maybe this is where she lives now? It was scary inside. So I walked and my feet felt very heavy. I walked to the end of the hall where a little boy about 4 years old threw a ball at me and just stared at me. I had a creeping feeling someone was following right behind me, so I followed the boy into the open apartment door. It was all burned and black inside. Aunt Terra (Ravane aunt and caretaker in high school) was on a burned bed sitting up. I asked where Ravane was and she said oh sweetie, she’s been dead for years remember? She reached for my hand as I began to sob. She told me she hears All the calls and cries for Ravane. Many people morn her. She started playing my voicemails I left her. I sob so hard I wake up in real life crying. I miss you Ravane. And I miss being 17.

Dream

In a seaside hotel It looks like a replica of the Broadway zone in Tokyo Disney Sea Getting across the golden bridge via walk because why not with my dad Hanging and doing acrobatics on the ledge, beyond the guardrails Getting across to the Broadway area and walking into a vintage dress shop in a brick-made building Fancy, eclectic and kinda 20-50’s in style Lots of floral lamps, fruit motifs and a later variation/diversion from of art nouveau motifs scattered around the place Curtsying the owner of the shop, a wonderful, charming middle-old aged madam after my fatehr greets her and they have a little chit chat(my father says that we’re here to get me some new shoes that goes with the dress too, that it was about time) The madam compliments and says stuff like what a charming young lady or whatever I’m sifting through and trying on lots of flowery/vintage, rich-in-fruit-motifs type dresses and pants(frilly short pantsuits and short-pant overalls too) We get a leather shoes to go with it, Mary Jane We get back to the hotel room Now a different storyline, in the same hotel room Nice room, framed little paintings on the wall I’m looking at myself in the mirror and I see my belly big and covered in spider fur(my belly looks like a pregnant spider’s) Getting unsettled Scene changes, some images of bird’s-eye panoramic shots of some chinese/Japanese misty mountains and forests that look like a few locations from my favorite historical danmei-based donghua(Mo Dao Zu Shi), and the one alleyway I took in Sanneizaka with a lot of pottery markets, galleries and a cafe that incorporates traditional teahouse’s style, red momiji trees and wooden hinoki tables, cobblestone paths and shishiodoshi And the bamboo forest iori(pavilion) I’ve seen in another dream Now I’m in a stone-made room, rose window A bit like a monastery’s rooftop room but make it more extravagant I’m on the bed, feeling woozy and like I’m on morphine Baby trapping, the spider belly thing was an actual pregnancy, and I’m carrying it Tartaglia from Genshin Impact is the ‘husband’(the baby ‘trapper’ although I doubt that he’s the one who put the spider baby in there) He’s not around, and so there’s a white, light-made silhouette of a breaten, battered child that’s staggering and cowering as they enter the room crawling, despite being beaten or kicked out every time they are spotted by Tartaglia or me(whenever I can move or have the energy to throw or use something to attack them out of reflex, fright and fear of intruders otherwise) Seems like they want to be acknowledged I don’t beat it and let it come in, staring down at it as it looks at me expectantly but hesitantly(they don’t have a face nor bodily features, it’s literally just a silhouette made of light)

Dog

Dream

So I dream that there's a Dog who's chasing me. The Dog was drooling so much that it looks like he has rabies. He also got that fierce look, like he's going to eat me alive.. Of course, I feel threatened by my safety and I go up to the double deck while the dog is trying to get me. And then I almost fell to my doom but luckily I managed to grip something out, maybe a piece of cloth or whatever it is... But it looks like it's about to give away any minute... And so the Dog keeps barking at me fiercely and is about to get me... Then, the Dog is like speaking to me and that he's gonna cook me and eat me and so... Like, literally. And I also noticed that the Dog's fur is dark brown.. He's eyes are black or dark brown as well... But the Dog definitely hates me... And so, the dog finally got me... And so he cooked me into pasta and sprinkled something on me. But apparently, I'm still alive... Then, as a pasta when he's about to eat me... I attacked him and the fierce fight went outside and the rain was pouring heavily and I turned him into a headset... Then, I stomped at the headset and let him get wet... Which makes him groan... I then make sure to crush him. Then, I open the gates lock and run away... But he's still following me with that fierce look and continue barking at me.. After that, I dream I was on a roof, and someone is chasing me. Both female and male adults. So I keep running and since I'm tired of all the run, I wished in my dream that I would fly... And Then, I fly! But, Barely... Since I'm not used to the wings and I'm having a tough time controlling it... And the people who's chasing me is about to get me... So I was really struggling... Then, I remember in the dream that I saw a people line up... They all look professional, but the one who stands out most is the Woman who has short hair and looks like someone from the female character from the film I watched. Then, this woman have a child... And in the line, she's looking at something far ahead... like, she's looking for her husband... Then, this husband of hers is somewhere far away along with the other fellow men's...I then saw a crowd of men... and it looks like they are in an Army or something... But the air was so.... Masculine? The Aura was rather "Manly" and so Serious and so.... Weird... Like Men are... So this Men's is on the outside...and I saw this potato looking man.... walking straight ahead.... Then there's this another masculine man around with his men on the corner near the post... And he looks intimidating and serious, Like there's this Aura around him just like in the old films from 90's...But anyway... In the end this Potato looking man and the Intimidating man just shake hands... The shake hands were firm and like a form of friendship? Beginning? Trust...? I'm not sure... I guess it's just what men do... And then, back to the potato man... And the crowd... The potato man, was moving so slowly.... They are all moving slowly like a turtle/snail! And the Graphics looks like a Pixel or some sort of videogames... And it looks like this Potato man is trying to get to the old man in a straight line ahead... Moving very slowly.... And... Back to the Woman.... And so this Woman looks like she turned back time... I don't know but I feel like she is... And I'm trying to help her remember what happened then... And making her get into nostalgia or something... Which made her distracted during work...and so that went on and on until she met her child... A young girl in the Mall... And it looks like her husband has a mistress! Anyway, then.. for some reason there's this young beautiful lady in a corner... Blond hair and a sexy body... Almost like a doll... She's wearing something light blue or so... Then, when she tries to approach the little girl.. the woman suddenly gets protective of her child..
