Fear

Ghost
Car
Hospital

Dream

I work at a hospital, however I was in a completely different one. I had my PPE on, which is just protective wear and I was in a basement in a morgue, the hallways were empty and so was the morgue. I open up a small body bag to see a small two year old that has passed away inside. It made my heart sad to see this toddler that’s a girl dead. I place her gently on the autopsy table and I get a weird feeling that she’s still alive. Her eyes are closed but I can see faint breathing. I start questioning why they would bring an alive child down to the morgue. The girls body starts moving like either my mind is playing tricks on me, or her… she opens her eyes and smiles at me. As I debate my next move as to whether I should call a nurse, I think to myself “well no one is here at this hospital…” as I’m thinking that suddenly the girl turns pale. Her eyes close and become extremely bruised and purple and pink it looks like there was a lot of damage done to her eyes. I go to close them because I can’t stand looking at them, but they keep opening back up. At this point I’m feeling very anxious, mortified, and confused as to what to do… I’m used to seeing dead babies at my job but this was the first time they’ve been this much older. I wake up, and I’m freaking out - I’m very anxious and don’t want to return to this dream. I eventually go back to bed. I’m driving in my car, my old fiat and it seems like a ghost town. I start driving towards this unknown hospital again and when I get there I have this dread inside of me like I don’t want to go in and experience the haunted morgue and this two year old that keeps frightening me. I’m sitting in this empty parking lot when I have the realization that I don’t have to go in there… I immediately leave and don’t look back.

Family
Ghost
Piano
School

Dream

I had a nightmare my best friend (we’re in high school) killed someone and so I had to go through this long process of killing her for it as revenge because I was forced to even though I didn’t know who it was. And we killed her by a piano falling on her. For some reason I didn’t cry, but my great grandma and my dog somehow also ended up being dead. And I went home, my dad and I talked for a bit and my friend made a group chat. I missed Merideth (the friend I had) and for some reason I could see the ghost of my dog and not her or my grandma, who gave me clothes for high school before she died. (I also remember at the very beginning something about high school being a 2 hours and 44 minute bus ride for me, which I wasn’t complaining about. So eventually I ended up asking my dad why I could see Libby (my dog) and not Merideth (my best friend) ‘s ghost, and he said he didn’t know so I messaged her old account thinking maybe I could get an answer despite her being dead. And she messaged back, “don’t you know, I’m not her….” And I woke up.

Falling
Ghost
Kitchen

Dream

I was working with Sam & Dean Winchester. We were investigating a handful of deaths surrounding an alleyway. Instead of it being a ghost, we followed leads to a psychic man who was already locked away. He was killing people and seeing them die from his locked up asylum room. We took him to another place that was haunted by a ghost that butchered anyone who walked inside. We had the psychic man strapped to a gurney and rolled him inside, slamming the giant iron doors behind him. We knew that he wouldn’t last long in that room, and that his powers wouldn’t be able to escape that room since it was lined with 12 inches of iron outside and buried far underground. Then, I was in a kitchen. I was cleaning it and planning on renovating it. I remember falling down a platform in the kitchen that was part of the floor. After I got up, I was talking to someone about my renovation plans for it. I was thinking of fixing the flooring, adding a rail to the platform that I fell from, and putting in some window walls with patio style sliding doors. It was the first time I’ve felt physically happy outside of my dreams.

Ghost

Motorcycle
Island

Dream

I had a nightmare that I was being haunted by an evil presence. In some of the dream I was in my childhood home and I was trying to rest so that I could go to work and live my life but the ghost wouldn't stop scaring me and I was at breaking point because I didn't know what to do about it. In another part of the dream I was in a huge abandoned structure that was on an island that was extremely beautiful and there was even a swimming pool there that people were swimming in even though the structure didn't have a roof and was open. The ghost was also in the abandoned structure and was being even more sinister and scary. It would take other people's form and pretend to be them. There was one part where there was someone who I knew and they had a baby and the ghost took their baby and dismantled the baby like in a horror movie. There was another part of the dream where I was trying to ride a motorcycle through fields and hiking trails to get away from a group of people that were chasing me but I kept falling off. I was then at a petrol station trying to fill the motorcycle tank up with petrol and it kept leaking out and then somehow my biological father was there at the petrol station even though I haven't spoken to him in years in real life. In the last part of the dream I was back in my childhood home with my mum and we were trying to figure out how to get rid of the ghost but we never did because I woke up.

Calling me names and trying to fight me. I’m holding them down because I’m stronger. Eventually I’ve had enough and I loose my temper I scream “get off of my you transgender freak” everyone hears me in disbelief, they now think I’m an awful person and they call the police. I wait for the police but I don’t really care, I know I did nothing wrong. This man comes to take me and I follow him. I think he’s bringing me to jail. As we’re walking I run away from him.

Tornado
Ghost
Black man
Red hair
Birds
House

Dream

I was…in a clearing…a neighborhood clearing for picnics I think…it kind of reminded me of the scenery Dorothy gets sent to the the Land of Oz. I was with…a beautiful Black man with a disembodied head, and brightly colored red hair. Like he was a ghostly wraith of a friend who isn’t violent or angry towards me. We were…looking at different houses of my liking, before stopping in front of a house in a rather remote part of the neighborhood. It resembled a treehouse…like the aesthetic was giving “a evil fairy in the woods trying to live their life in peace with not a bother in the world.” Like it was a mysteriarch kind of look. A house of dark and brooding but beautiful hues of light like stars, wisps, and decadently old brick with dark wood floors. The Black man suggested this would be for me. I wholeheartedly agreed. He took me towards the back in search of the shed that’s in construction. There were white and blue birds taking off in a flurry, breezily moving past me with laughter in the air. Then there was muffled screaming and a dust cloud of air heading toward us. The older Black man (the same beautiful disembodied Black man taking me on the tour, who now seemed to be much older in Sage years…like if his younger appearance was a front.) shoved me into the safety of the house, as I landed, the twister hit the wall breaking the window. Despite how dangerously close I was to being torn to shreds by the debris in the twister and suffocated by the dust and winds of the twister. It never reached past the broken window and wall. As if the outside of the house had a ward or barrier around it. Sigils appeared as I took that time to explore the humble abode. It was beautiful, night shade in full blood, an apothecary, a desk of potion bottles, fairies running and playing tag with pixies, who are known to be enemies. I found the Black man in a split mix of old disembodied and younger whole. He was working on a broken shed, with a hammer and a ghostly semi-tangible hand in sleeve. He asked if I was alright, and apologized for the scuffle onto my ass. He was simply trying to ensure I was safe. There was suddenly children playing with animals as the twister ravaged everything outside the barrier. We were safe and warm. Food galore. Late into the night if love and fun. I woke a couple times seeing Tigger and a fluffy small-medium dog that resembled my deceased first puppy almost. But was too brightly orange to be her. I woke up cold in wet air, storming outside, and a sore throat with a stuffy nose. It seems I moved a lot in my slumber.

Hand

Dream

Last night, I had a somewhat scary dream where I was walking down a road in some sort of town and it was night out there other people around me, but as I was walking down the road, I had a little tingly feeling behind me and when I look back, there was this Younger lady that had black hair folded over her head so I couldn’t see her eyes and she was walking towards me with with a group of other people it was scary so I wanted to get away and as she got closer I became more uneasy and woke up from the dream. when I went to go back to sleep I told myself if that dream happens again to notice it and go towards her, there’s nothing to be afraid of. sure enough a similar dream happened again, and I was able to become lucid during it. In dream I turned around and started walking towards, the group that was afraid of. when I got closer to the group I was to see everyone and they all looked friendly. My eyes made contact them and they smiled back at me. As I started to walk past the individuals I reached my hand just to give them a little Hand hug, but as reachec out to touch them, I noticed that their bodies weren’t solid. Their bodies were almost ghostly and my hands went through them. I was somewhat disappointed because I wanted some human connection. The dream changed

So my therapist sent me an address and I went to the address and it looked like a weird-looking office with a triangle laid around like the Illuminati with a glowing white door and somebody being taken to the back smiling and giggling. The man never came out so I was joking through the interview and they asked me questions and I asked them so questions about the program and they told me hunting and I said hunting what and he said hunting stuff so I said what like hunting people and this man looked at me and reached his hand through the hole as it turned black his face opened wide and he looked like a demon with 2 black eyes a long outstretched jaw and tried to grab me. I told him I was joking and he turned normal. I said something about the Illuminati he did it again so my interview was concluded, he said if I told anybody they would find me and kill me and I better keep my mouth shut and he pushed me outside in the chair so while my dad and his friend were in the car I put the chair on the lawn and all of a sudden I got knocked out with my dad and my dad’s friend and everything turned blue. I got home and we started to drive back home people looked at the car horrified laughing tapping on the window and we waved and just kept driving home everything was still blue the garden and everything like a dark blue we got in the car and the sight turned a light blue as we talked about gas stations we were driving and I realized I was a ghost and that I was in a video game then I woke up.
