Dream

Hi there, this was my dream today. I was on vacation, near the sea. With my family. I don't fully remember this dream vividly so there will be bits shared. I was walking near the shore with someone I knew in the dream, holding a black lace untied ribbon. Then the waves go by faster and rougher, and pull me in. I could barely stand up, it was as if the waves were pulling me in the water because they wanted me there. I couldn't get out no matter how much I crawled but the person I was with helped me out. ( This dream situation has happened a lot throughout my life, there are either calm waters or wild. And being pulled in on the shore happens a lot. Other dreams i am simply enjoying the calm waters. The sea and waters in my dream are warm, and even though dangerous I always feel comforted.) ( I dream of water a lot but I rarely see it) Second bit of the dream - Me and a group of kids i know in the dream end up in an empty inside playground. It was full of slides and towers which me and the others started exploring. Eventually we realised we weren't alone and that there were clowns lurking about. So we did our best to avoid them. It was easy with all the slides and towers. Soon after the park began becoming busy, and a huge line of customers who wanted to enter started to form. Some of them wore costumes. It became harder to do things because of the lines, but the clowns in the park became much more welcoming. I remember going on a slide and a clown stopping me mid way to talk, it was a lady clown and I think it was hitting on me. Eventually she let me continue and the ride that came next had gaps on each sides. Apparently you were meant to put your pressure on each side to avoid the gaps. But they had warned me a little too late, as I was falling down. I landed fine, I was surprised and talked to myself outloud suprised at how I was fine. I landed in the middle of a group talking but they just started and ignored me. I walked off. Segment three of the dream - In a villa or hotel room with my family and some older guy who thought we were together. He was like we can't be together anymore I have a kid I need to go raise, here is this breakup box of things and my pubes for you. I was like wtf dude I ain't into older guys what are you on. And my cousin who was present in the moment took the pubes and started shoving them in my fake making fun of him. I obviously tried to protect my face as much as possible, gross ass pubes in my face. What was that dude on for giving those to me? Anyway the older guy pointed out how close me and my MALE cousin were, showing clear signs of jealousy. Anyway dream goes on and this guy takes off and leaves (finally). Fourth bit of the dream- I am with my family and my aunts family, near the playground sorta relaxing with a bunch of items with us. Like blankets and towels etc etc. But when it comes time to leave and pack those things up. Everyone one takes their share and someone mine doubles. As I struggle to collect my things they left. And I needed to take my blanket and towel, which were very stained for some reason which I thought was because of the water. A towel guy working there was like, hey let me take care of these for you. With a smirky ass face, I sense there's something fishy going on so I say no thank you I will just take them. He didn't want to give me my stuff, because he wanted me to be in debt to him for washing the things for me. I took notice of that so I insisted and he gave up giving my things. And boy is it hard. It's like this thick ass fluffy blanket with towels and somehow a bunch of plushies. WHICH I HAVE TO CARRY ALL ON MY OWN. Obviously didn't work out much because I was barely taking a step and some would fall, so I'd need to drag them and go back for the others. I ended up taking a detour through the playground, in which I come across a baby. I give the baby one of the plushies because I had way too many. And I kept dragging the things, reached the end, just needed to get the out of the playground. Someone gave me a hand with dragging them out. I go back in to take the stuff but as I do, the walls narrow and the baby goes and blocks my way out. I give in realising I won't be able to get out and drag these with me. So In the moment I just admire the softness and gentleness of the baby from afar as I pass out. I then wake up.

Dream

Saturday, 25 May 2024 11:13 AM A Waters Dream Boat We lived on water, We lived on small islands of waters or huge boats with populations of towns. It was common to see people come and go on small boats like the waters bike. The only dangers were being drowned by the fast sea animals, people from other villages or pirates. We had prophesies told to us and sometimes we would sing them to help us find the meaning. Right now we were living on a huge cruise like boat but out of wood. There was a girl that mainly spoke spanish. She had a problem but i dont remember exactly what it was. We had a huge picture- on a newspaper like material, standing on a table, this time this photo was the prophecy, Something on this photo was going to help us find what we needed, We werent sure if it was from the future or it had a hint somewhere. We were in a town hall sort of meeting . On the paper was drawing or pictures, even references that had already happened in the dream. The main clue was a huge tower of words that related to her. She would connect the words with a song and I would sing along. But we needed one more part. As we tried, she called her people to go get something, maybe to try and help us, and also a gift for me. As i took a step back to look over the full almost town map looking picture i hover back over the top left corner and get closer again. There's a boat, 1 person on the deck, [very small portion of the paper] and theres a small text bubble. But it looked like gibberish, maybe backwords? it was using numbers that looked like letters and it was backwards? So i told her LOOK. I tried as quickly as i could to try and read it. Then i could hear my time was up.. The ringing of my alarm faded into the sky of my dream. So i woke up... Before that ending i had quite an adventure in this world. I could ride boats like they were skateboards, school on the big main boats. Except we didnt learn school subjects but about survival, prophecies and our history.

dream-about-faceless-lady-and-drowning-teacher
Drowning
Faceless person
Panic
School

Dream

I had just entered a new school. It was completely empty and was slightly dark. I found my classroom and I saw a lady with no face. (She was a good distance away from me though.) there were big and tall tables that in my real school, were called lab tables. My friends, Lariana (pronounced like Lod-E-aw-na), Mylee, and Alyvia (pronounced like Olivia). They were way quieter than usual and seemed a little scared. I sat next to them since they were the only people I knew, but they kept looking down and were weirdly silent. There was an other lady who was a little overweight (this is only for a picture of how she looked like, we DO NOT body-shame around here). I can’t remember what happened clearly, but she beat up or yelled at the faceless lady. In the dream I was facing a different direction, so I don’t really know what happened, but the faceless lady was gone. There were also other kids but they weren’t important, and I can’t remember what they looked like. We were just sitting there in silence, and then there was a time skip. It was recess, but for some reason it was more like a swimming pool. The teacher (the lady that fought with the faceless lady) was in a small circular pool, that looked way more like a small hot tub. That was the only pool there, the rest of the area was just white tile (that you would normally see at a pool) and a little bit of grassy areas. I then saw kids gathered around the pool and the teacher drowning (the pool was small but deep). There was one kid trying, and failing to pull her up while the other kids watched. The only kid panicked was the one pulling her up, the other kids were watching in excitement and entertainment, there was one kid recording and taking pictures. I can’t remember if the kids didn’t have faces, if I didn’t see their faces, or if their faces were blurry (usually my dreams will make me forget or blur out someone’s face because they aren’t important to the dream or/and I don’t know them). (Extra info: even the kid who was trying to pull her out wasn’t that panicked at all, he was just panicking more compared to everyone else). I then went over there and helped the other boy try to pull her out, but we were both unsuccessful. Eventually the boy gave up and I jumped in the pool to try to push her out. After a while, I got her out, but the second I did the kids stopped smiling/ watching, and the dream ended (all that happened really fast).(More extra info because I couldn’t figure out how to put this in the story and make it make sense/sound good: the lady was a mean lady, and always looked grumpy. Even though there was a time skip, I could tell by her expressions and the way my dream introduced her, she was strict. She had an unfriendly and menacing aura.) (sorry about the overuse of the word “panic” lol)

Parent
Mother
Son
Family

Dream

My arrogant nephew decided to treat me like a bad mom just because I wouldn’t give my son another glass of chocolate milk after he just had one. He went and poured a whole glass, which I had to take from him. He took the gallon of chocolate milk over to the table, and slammed it down, drowning his mother with it who was also at the table. When I got the gallon back, I went to pour the chocolate milk in the glass back into the jug. Nephew comes up behind me, tries to splash me with the contents of the glass, but I manage to aim it towards him as it spills. Nephew’s mother tells me I’m being childish and says that I splashed nephew out of spite. Typical behavior on her part. She tries to force me to apologize, so me being the smartass that I am, told him “I’m sorry that you have anger issues and don’t know how to butt out of business that isn’t yours. I’m sorry that your actions ended up backfiring on you not just once, but twice. And I’m sorry that your mom is too far in denial about your behavior to parent and discipline it and only enables it.” Sister gave me a death glare the entire time as though I was being a smartass out of spite because I was “wrong”.
