🧭 Direction

Identity

You must fall from paradise in order to become your higher self. You must allow your ego to be born and die in order to transcend your current state. Allow yourself to experience the dark places in your heart and life so that you can fully apprecaite and know the good that is in you. By returning to the roots of your childhood, you will find the emotional and mental nutrients necessary to grow strong as you age.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of childhood evokes a sense of nostalgia and innocence. It brings forth feelings of joy, curiosity, and a longing for simpler times. It may also elicit emotions of warmth, comfort, and a desire to reconnect with one's inner child. This dream symbolizes a yearning for carefree days, happy memories, and a reminder of the importance of embracing one's youthful spirit.

Dream

I visited my childhood best friend who we no longer speak. I left my car in a parking lot and stayed with her for a few days. It was very uncomfortable. I was packing my bag and trying desperately to find my phone to get directions to where my car was so I could get there and get home

Dream

I was in the forest at a familiar route that always comes in my dreams. I was running away from some men because I didn't want to get raped. They were getting closer and closer and I find myself floating above the ground and I start swimming on the air as I float higher and higher. As I do this, my speed increases with great intensity. I dream about my childhood friend and I was greeting her. And then I was at my home gathering my clothes and school books from my grandmother's house moving to my mom's house. My cousins and a guy that often comes but I don't recognise in waking life is also there again but I have to keep on reintroducing myself because he always forgets that we have hung out. He seems to always remember Dylan well but never me. It makes me feel unseen and neglected because all I want is to get closer again and have meaningful conversations. This is more or less the gist of the dream. In my village there are many people of different races and ethnic groups who live there.

Spider

Dream

There was a spider burrowed on my leg and it turned out he was a sentient alien to show us the error in humanities ways and he brought each of us with a specific problem. I believe mine was anxiety. If we tried to kill the alien spider it would kill us. Torchwood was trying to figure out how to remove them from our legs but didn't attempt it because they wanted to be fully sure that it would work but someone who was cheating on his wife got scared and tried to kill it so the spider set him on fire. The five of us and torchwood were in an airlock on a spaceship. I was using a journal that the spiders gave us and Jack Harkness was talking to me about my anxiety and childhood but I don't remember anything else about the conversation we had. Then I woke up.

Dream

This was a mashup of quite a few dreams with a nightmare. In the nightmare, is that I was in a homeless shelter setting, similar to my current situation in Derwood. There was…fire and shadows lurking in every corner. But I was facing them fine, I just needed to lie down to put my bags down…there was a kitchen and a bathroom rendered similarly to the ones in the childhood tv show, Courage the Cowardly Dog. The wallpaper was falling at the seams, and it seemed that there were sexual predators in many corners. I was burned into unconsciousness, and found myself with no face…a faceless figure was taunting and playing with me, like I was his food. He seemed no more than a child without supervision and too much internet. I ran and navigated so many times to no avail. He sent me into several different places with telekinetic almost superhuman strength. I was sent into the kitchen stove and cabinet with fish falling out….i landed with considerable impact, but was unharmed mostly. It did hurt, and the boy had remorse for a moment before I fell forward into a set of wooden cabinets. Then I was awake and on a trailer, looking out at the horizon…still at the shelter again. There was a symbol that recognized I was from independence now. One of their clients. They were buying me things and seemingly working with me until things turned south. The child from before ran up to me, grabbed me by the arm, using a lighter lit my entire head on fire. I screamed before I physically felt my neck break in dream and I awoke with my head in the same position. Unbroken. Shaken up, understandably, I rolled over to avoid sleeping on my back. Therefore was hit with another dream. This time of magical and metaphysical proportions. I was in a shopping mall…one of the big stores in the mall, with towering walls, merchandise, and many cataloguing or window shopping. I was exploring myself when I burst into casual song…a song I knew fluently…Havana? But when I started singing it, eyes were turned towards me by my beautiful song. I can’t recall why…but I was sliding around and dancing through isles like a musical. Eventually stumbling upon a child, and with a flick of my wrist, I transformed her into her fairy self, she was overjoyed and ran to get her mother. Her mother then came to request my prettiest sunrise, and I waved my hand across the sky and reflected a pink sky with a waking sun. She gasped at its beauty before I waved and a purple glittering veil appeared on her face, accompanied by silver steel armor. She felt empowered and emboldened. She sought her daughter and I gave her a signal to shoot if she needed anything. This would soon go haywire though as I heard screams in the distance, running toward them, I saw the physical embodiment of our entire solar system rotating around the sun in the sky, moving on its own like a shooting star. Seemingly to target me, the roof was ripped off and I started sprinting despite my health and limits. I found myself on the balcony first, reuniting the mother and daughter, then hopping down the layers of the building into a bedroom. Found my toxic sister but didn’t pay her any mind. I kept running out to the second balcony and down the stairs to a courtyard of children. But they weren’t there…to which I realized they were all ghostly children playing around in the green grass to revitalize themselves. Which I smiled and went into the building to find a surprise and… I don’t think I could ever see what it was…I woke up….and fell asleep to find myself running….only to awake again and find myself talking to my mother in my sleep…and heard my Case Worker talking to someone next to me upon waking. To which I bade her, “Hi.”

Dream

The dream started off with me being at my childhood church I was young again maybe a mid teen. I was playing/goofing off with kids around my age in the halls of the church. As I was with them I remember leaving my jacket in the relief scociety room of the church. I ran to the room to go get my jacket; but as I entered, I realized I was walking in on a lesson that was going on. The rooms lights were off and there was a big projector in the front of the room. As well as a lady dressed in an all white silk dress. She had short blond hair that was about shoulder length and bright blue eyes. I didn’t recognize her but she welcomed me in and offered me to go and sit with the others. I found my family sitting amongst the crowd and went and sat next to them. The women continued her lesson until she asked that the young adults/teens go with her. I left with her and went to a different room were we usually held are young women classes on Sunday. She talked was us all about the kids importance of the second coming and the importance of what we wear. She said that Christ will notice what we are wearing even down to our feet. As she said this, she handed out white silk socks/booties to go on our feet. As I was putting mine on a kid standing next to a large glass window started getting excited and said he could see something appearing from the park nearby. I ran to the window to look as did several others in the room as I looked out the window I could see the park with a wide creek running through it. There was a red bridge/gazebo that went across the creek. On the far side of the creek was a thick mist. You could not see what was on the other side of the bridge or creek. But one by one people dressed in white robes started coming out of the mist and across the bridge into our world. All of them wearing white robes some of them wear carrying large baskets of what looked like fruit and vegetables with them. Others strange instruments that I had never seen before. They all where singing and some dancing or playing these instruments. They were happy and celebrating. As I was watching then all cross over I suddenly say Christ cross the bridge. There were several people around him singing. Then the dream ended.

Bike

Dream

I was a child, riding my bike down a trail in the woods. As I was going, the trees started to block out the sun, amd the path got darker. There was old milk jugs hanging from the trees, and old half broken and dirty dolls hanging by their necks, as if they were wearing nooses. I felt very uncomfortable and I was scared. I didn’t know what to do, I knew I wasn’t supposed to be alone, but I couldn’t find the person who I had come with. I kept pushing forward, as I got further down the trail, I saw dead rabbits hanging from the trees, blood dripping from their bodies as if they had been freshly killed. I screamed. I kept pedaling faster hoping whatever was in the woods wouldn’t get me before I got out. As I was riding I saw all kinds of old dirty things on the trail, old baby pacifiers, baby clothes, old baby toys, dirty old doll houses, scooters, stuffed animals. I never made it out of the woods before I woke up.

Gym
Hornet
Water Park

Dream

There were hornets in the ceiling and the nest spread through multiple rooms and were invading the ceiling light in my childhood room. A man was trying to harm me, and he was trying to control the hornets, but he got stung by them anyway, which made me laugh. But then I got stung as well. I was trying to squash the hornets with dumbbells, which only worked half the time, as it was not a good weapon to use. The man eventually caved and tried to help me kill the hornets without doing any harm to me. We were mostly successful, but got stung many times by the end. Then we went to a water park and even though the lines were long for the water slides, we went in the lines anyway. I saw many of my childhood friends that I knew, but they looked the same age as when I met them in elementary school. I didn't feel comfortable going up to them and saying hi but I felt happy about seeing them in general. Then the water slides physically turned into a middle school gym and we started playing kickball in our swimsuits. It was kind of fun but I felt weird about being in a gym with the other kids I knew, since they kind of pushed me away as I got older in life.
