🧭 Direction

Bad omen

Is there anything in your life that is making you anxious? Worry will not help you in any situation. It is your commitment to others and your people-pleasing attitude that is causing you to lose personal control and making you anxious. Take back the lost control, and work towards your own betterment.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of kidnapping evokes feelings of fear, vulnerability, and powerlessness. It signifies a loss of control and a sense of being trapped or held against one's will. This dream may reflect deep-seated anxieties or a fear of being taken advantage of. It can also symbolize a desire for freedom or a need to assert oneself in waking life. The emotions associated with this dream are often intense and unsettling, leaving a lingering sense of unease upon waking.

Dream

I was with my abusive ex-boyfriend. We are in this apartment and I'm hanging out with a couple of friends. One of my friends invited me to this activity to hangout. I think I had plans with my ex but for some reason I was kind of getting over him. So I decided to hang out with my girlfriends and I started making more plans with them. He overheard and from behind he grabs my head and slams it on the counter and asked me where do you think you're going. My ex never physically assaulted me in that way in my waking life but he would physically intimidate and if I didn't manage my behaviors I wouldn't put it past him to do something like that. For some reason, I wasn't even scared I felt validated that my two girlfriends were there to witness what happened. Later on in the dream I'm going through the criminal court case process like I'm currently doint in my waking life. I think that incident where he slammed my head got recorded and we were already in the criminal court case process when it happens. The incident got recorded somehow by my ex and he sends it to his lawyer. His lawyer comes over and tries to retrieve I find his phone and take it. He tries to convince me to take the phone but I refuse, but I know if I hold onto his possession for too long he can use it against me so I complied but before I do I send the recording to someone but idk who. Later on were at this court and the prosecutor's lawyers and my ex’s lawyer or commiserating with the judge about the incident. And the judge finally rules he needs to be in jail during the court process. When the official trial court date begins I get overwhelmed seeing him and it hits me again what he did to me. I get triggered and leave the room and walk to another building where the prosecutors or located to try to emotionally gather myself. Several of the procecuter lawyers comes to check on me and make sure I'm ready to proceed to testify as a witness. I told them yes and go back. There was limited seating in the room and I would have to sit next to him I find another spot to sit at. There was another person in the room I believe a guy who was also a witness of being harrassed by my ex. My ex wasn't queer but it was notable that there was another person who been abused by him. In my waking life, he has a previous DV conviction from a previous girlfriend. Later on I'm not sure what was the ruling against my ex but Im pretty sure it was guilty because he was sent back to jail. Later on in dream I still felt overwhelmed with everything that happened. I went to the lower level of the prosecuter’s office and this creepy old white man tried to kidnap me and push me into this basement no one knows about and no one would ever hear me cry out for help. He almost caught me but I got away with him enough to cry out for help and a friend saw this suspicious behavior and several ppl were alerted and caught the guy and he was jailed. Later on I was in this house and feeling overwhelmed and scared with everything that happened to me between my ex and that creepy old man. I was scared and throughout the night my friends, the prosecutors lawyers who also was around being friendly to me, and even a coworker was there to help and support me. At some point I was even feeling scared to go to the bathroom by myself and my coworker was nice to come with me. Later on in the dream everyone in the house that was supporting me got loose and drink a lot of liquor, had fun and passed out. Everyone was nice to me. And I was surrounded by a bunch of people in this house supporting me. Later on in the dream me and the guy who got harrassed by me ex was at this party getting celebrated for being survivors of abuse and stepping up and going through the trials to hold him accountable. I finally was able to connect with the guy that got harassed we hugged each other and cried in each other arms supporting each other knowing only two of us understood what my abusive ex put is through. There was people taking pictures of us. But we hugged not for the photos but to hold space and support each other. We also remain connected afterwards.

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.

Dream

I had two dreams last night. I can’t remember the first one very well so I’ll just summarize it. 1st Dream: I got into an argument with my mom for not letting me rent a couple of movies from the store. My dad took my mom’s side and said that I was overreacting. Then, they forced me to take out the trash. Now onto the second dream, which I remember most of. 2nd Dream: This dream started out at my boyfriend’s house. We were watching a show on tv while talking about our dreams. In the show, one of the characters got kidnapped and later got rescued by his friends. After the show was over, I went to work. On the way to work, I got kidnapped by an Evil Witch. She locked me in her mansion and was constantly watching me. Whenever a rescue party would come to save me, the Witch would kill them in multiple ways. Then, she took over the world and trapped a bunch of other people in mansion. Everyone got used to it though, so we all learned how to live normal lives with the Witch. That’s the end of my second dream. I think there was a part about my glasses as well, but I’m not so sure.

So I just had the weirdest dream. I was at home by myself with my dog when a group of kidnappers came into my home and basically took it over. They told me that my life was now their life and I had to do what they said and as long as I did what they said, and had control over my dog, I could keep her. they gave me a script that I had to read over the phone to my family to explain why they would never see me again and I was scared so I called him and I read the script over the phone, not knowing if they believed me or not this whole time. I am looking at these men thinking I’ve gotta get out of here, that there had to be someway. I’ve got to get out of this house And get to my parents house, but I don’t know how. so they’re explaining to me what I will be doing from now on and from what I understand of the dream I will be calling women’s husband’s and somehow be taking control over their lives too by somehow manipulating them Into money. they are going to get me to go out and do these things by keeping my dog at home with them and if I don’t come back home or do the things they say they are going to kill my dog. so it’s my first time to get on the phone with one of these men that I have to manipulate him by making a date with him And my dog is acting up. And while I’m on the phone, She’s a little emotional and little anxious and the man takes her into the other room. I finish up the conversation on the phone and I go looking for my dog and they tell me that she is no longer there. I’m looking all over the house for her. I can’t find her and I know then that they had killed her. so I just start walking out the front door and down the road. There is another woman with me and she is a part of their organization. She’s trying to talk to me and calm me down and get me to go back but I am not going back and I tell her, they killed my dog. I don’t give a shit if they kill me too. I’m not going back. And that is when she looks back to the men and shakes her head and says let her go she’s going to be too much trouble and I wake up.

Dream

This dream I had when I was about 10 years old. (4 Years ago) But I still vividly remember all the details. It started with me wandering this street. The buildings felt like tall, cement blocks with doors. The night darkened the mood. The yellow streaks lining the walls illuminated. For a segment of the dream, it is a bit fuzzy. Then, the next thing I see is my old bedroom surrounding me. It wasn't the entire house, only the bedroom. I was practically stuck to the bed and in a panic. My first instinct was to escape. So after 5 minutes (estimate), I bolt out of the room and find the front door of my old house. But when I walk out, it's the same outside as before. The cement world. I run and run and run down the way until a car-garage-looking building catches my eye. I turn into there, hoping to hide from whatever brought me to my old house. I go inside and find a friend from my elementary school. She was the sweetest girl ever, and I cared about her a lot. Now that I think about her, I believe she had a crush on me at the time. I tell her that I was running from whatever it was, and she offers me water from the sink. Nothing else significant happens before I see a car searching for me. I once again try to run away. I try to escape this lady. But she catches me and forces me into her van. She says, "I told you couldn't run away. Do not try again." And she swiftly drives me back to my old bedroom. For the next couple segments, I'm stuck lying in bed for a while. At one point, I'm on my tablet watching one of my favourite YouTubers. And then one of the most significant moments in the dream, the lady who had kidnapped me pulled me to the edge of the bed. Her long fingers trace a line just above my knee. She watches my expression carefully. "Once this is all over, I'll cut your leg off right here. Does that sound good?" She threatens. After that, there is a big blur. Then the final scene I see before I wake up is me and the lady scavenging through a janitor's closet. She says something along the lines of "You're dad has a secret." And when I ask her what she means, the dream is cut short.
