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.

Lion

Dream

I had a dream where I believe I was in a safari but we were not with other people and I had a sensation I was with my family. We were walking around Africa and we encountered a pack of lions, mainly lionesses, it felt like people ran away as soon as they saw them, and the lions became alert, but it is my dream in waking life to meet lions, I feel I have a deep connection to felines so in my dream I wasn't scared, I was so happy that I ran towards them and lied down next to one. She looked at me with curiosity and I felt I had started to cry of excitement and amazement, I could feel my tears run down my cheeks. I extended my hand so that she could smell me and she rejoiced in my touch, she turned around, pressed her head firmly against mine and we cuddled, all I remember was crying my eyes out, I felt a lot of emotion, deep emotion, a mxiture of sadness and a sense of relief as she was letting me pet her. She was a beautiful lioness, her fur was very light blonde and she was enjoying it as much as I was. The dream ended abruptly, but that is all I remember.

Last night I had a dream that Travis was going to hang out with some friends and I went to a Machine Gun Kelly concert. He came out from on stage into the crowd and was singing in the crowd. There was a lion on stage with him that started acting up and they had announced that they would likely need to shut down for a few minutes to move them because they were getting antsy on stage. Then they all started running at people. I had to keep hiding because they were running at me. I went to get a tshirt and there was a little house with tshirts and candy outside of it. Shortly after it started to rain really hard and the concert was cancelled. When I was invited into the house and had seen pictures of Travis growing up as a kid on the wall. After we sat down I had asked the man how he knew Travis, his name was Terry, and he said that he was his grandpa. That he hadnt seen him in a long time. And asked how I knew him and I said that I had dated him for 7 years and we were working on getting back to a good place to where we could date again. He asked me to say hello to him. Then another woman walked in with a daughter and it was either his daughter or grandaughter with the child. Travis called me and I had told him that the concert was already over and that I was getting a refund because they cancelled the show due to the raining and animals. And compensation for what the animals did. Before I could tell him about his grandfather o woke up.

Dream

I went to an Ice Spice concert with Lucy. The venue was dark, filled with purple and blue lights that created a mysterious atmosphere. During the performance, Ice Spice came into the audience and started talking to me. The people around us looked on enviously. Ice Spice told me something intense. Lucy had cast some failed magical curses, and we had to go to the magical court immediately to resolve it. The ministry prosecuted Lucy because she had performed three failed curses. The third was the most bizarre: she had embalmed an ostrich with gel, and it was still half alive. In the courtroom, the judge touched the ostrich, and suddenly the creature began to move. To everyone's shock, it vomited a huge fish, black and green, as big as a lion, with legs and a tail. I was terrified as the creature appeared before us. The beast started running through the room. The woman who had accused Lucy of this failed curse suddenly ate the creature. She said she did it to strengthen her own dark magic.

Dream

I just remeber clips of this dream. It was dusk there was a guy he seemed familiar like I knew him in the dream he had set up a little tent in the back yard. There was an occasional lose animal. Like I remember caught a sedated a lioness. At the time I didn't know and I came running g out of the house into his tent and landed on it. I told him something like we need to get ready. I remember there was like bug out bags that we had ready in his tent. Then I was in a place that I've had other dreams it this farm and barn house and in past dreams it has always been lively and green now the field is dry and yellow and I over heard the wife say they are selling becuase the husband hasn't been around and she divorcing him. It made sense in the dream like if your spouse is gone for extended amount of time you can divorce him. I remeber being curious about it. The next clip was back in my yard and the tent guy and befriended a cheetah and it would run with a dog. It came up to me and started rubbing it's face on my neck like in a freindly manner so I did it back. It was night I was in the garden and orchard with brother Josh and his wife maria and the laudry was hanging gently waving on the line. We turn around d to walk back towards the house and there's a alligator swelling a terrier. I instantly pulled my gun and shot the gator twice, killing it. Josh pulled the dog out of its mouth alive and unharmed, just wet. I said he can salt and smoke the gator for food. We we're walking back towards the house and I was checking my gun and there was an accidently discharge into the clothes josh fixed my gun. The next seen was daylight it seemed time has passed my sister jen asked me about the animals we had. Which was an alpaca and the cheetah that got along and roamed the yard. I should her the the alpaca will rub it's face on your neck and lay down on its back. She thought that was cute.

Dream

I was at a physiatric center working at a blood drive and while I was wheeling a patient to get their blood drawn. I ended up finishing my residency and getting my white coat. I was guided to a girl who was wearing a blue dress and she was laying on the floor removing her pin and putting it on the pin of a young lady. I stood up and my sister came to hug me and congratulate me then my mom came inside wearing a weird off the shoulder dress and she was e plus size. I was sat down in a row of the other doctors, congratulated, and when I stood up my mom came back in wearing pajamas and said something but I don’t remember. My cousin myesha came to me hugged me saying we did it. I looked around the auditorium with awe and said that grandma would have loved to see this and started tearing up a bit. Myesha started crying too and told me playfully to stop making her sad and that I was right. I was at a gas station and a very handsome black man walked up to me and tried to kiss me. I was very hesitant but really wanted it to happen. But I pushed him away. A whole bunch of other handsome men come over and start asking if I want them. I think I’m starting to get tipsy in my dream because I’m losing all inhibition and my filter is leaving. One of the men ask me if I was nervous and I said yes. One of the men showed me why I picked himI said it was because of the grey hair. I ended up full on making out with one of them and his lips smelled like he had oral sex with someone else and I cursed him out telling him to get out of my face for being disrespectful and trying to kiss me after having sex with someone else. After that I was upset and wanted someone else to kiss me and I started locking all 4 doors trying to make it look like the gas station was closed. On door locked on the inside but the moment you opened the door on the outside you were still able to come inside the gas station. Two middle doors locked and the last door by the register. More random white people keep coming in and I kept kicking them out. I’m running around trying to kick out the people I don’t want around and I didn’t realize that all the people I wanted around I didn’t notice. I started having a panic attack and I ran out of the gas station. I started hitting the walls full strength with my palm and when i hit it it looked like a paw from a big cat. I looked to my right and some man smiled at me and nodded his head and we both started breaking the pillars outside of the gas station. Once I ran out of energy I ran around looking at cars and I broke down crying. Saying that I’ll never be good enough and that I’m tired and sad. The bumper of the car had water on it and when I put my hands in the mud it left a paw print behind. In my mind I saw a lion but I still felt human. Some women came to comfort me and started splashing water in my gale from the back off the bumper and I got dirt in my locs and was upset. Then I woke up

Lucid Dream
Truck
Daughter

Dream

I had this dream that I was driving in a truck with my daughter and we were going up to the mountains and we're going off in this embankment and I remember we're stuck on this like cliff thing I went out to fix the truck and try to gauge how difficult it would be to drive off of the little embankment thing and try to get back on the road and I determined it was pretty risky and then when I looked in the back of the truck I saw all these brand new pairs of sneakers that belonged to my youngest son's father. I was confused about why I had all of them but I wanted to go through the rest of the stuff in the truck but I waited. I eventually got us down driving down and I realized that I had been going away that was way more difficult than it needed to be. I suddenly realized where we were and everything became clear and I started to go that route but I kept veering off the sides of the road and eventually I fell off the side of this embankment again but then I was able to control and I knew that I was dreaming and it turned into a lucid dream so I was able to control the truck as it flew. Then we ended up at this cabin, but throughout the journey I realized that there was something stalking me, some sort of predator. When I got to the cabin, I realized it was the cabin that belongs to my youngest son's father, whose truck I had. His brother was there in waking life, he's an attorney, but in this dream he was an anthropologist. I was asking him how big the bears were in that area because there was this big giant bear who changed form throughout the dream as it was pursuing me. It had changed to a giant lion or saber-toothed cat type creature and also to a extra large gorilla type Bigfoot like creature or a Yeti. Either way, it was some sort of large mythological creature that lives in colder climates. At one point in the dream, I was changing my daughter's diaper. My daughter's normally nine, but in the dream she was a small baby. And I got baby poop on the comforter of my youngest son's parent's bed. No matter how many baby wipes I used, I couldn't get it off all the way, and I was trying to get it clean before they noticed. I went outside and there's this big structure and it was like a fire pit area but it wasn't made by man it was inhuman for some reason and we were discussing whether or not we thought it was like some sort of offering fire or if it was a fire to make food but it was made by this creature and it was all these jagged rocks and these stones and wood pieces that were sticking out from the rocks and various piles I believe that there was it was 3 rows of four wood piles across, the jagged wood sticking straight out like spikes being held together by heavy stones. I had the feeling of being pursued throughout the whole dream like prey and I knew that there is a predator lurking just beyond the eyesight everywhere I go I'd see the silhouette and the tree lines or I could feel it staring at me through the windows I would try to be still because you can only see the silhouette. At one point I was on the toilet seat in the bathroom of this cabin and this large saber-toothed type cat comes in from above into the shower and I could only see it through the shower glass and I'm terrified as its large body starts to fill up the shower stall and then it makes eye contact with me. At some point I was with my baby's dad's mom and we were back talking about that fire area that the mythical creature had made and there was a ski lift and I remember the ski lift start to move but we weren't trying to go on the actual ski lift we were just trying to sit on there to rest. So she showed me how to hold on and and jump onto the other bars and wait and climb up so that we didn't get taken by the ski lift all the way around. I didn't know if I was gonna be holding on tight enough and I was scare but o made it. I also kept returning to a closet in the cabin in the dream and inside of the closet there was these clothes that belonged to me and belonged to my daughter and belonged to the father of my son and all these clothes were very nice and I recognized them and I miss them but they were all too small for us or slightly outdated and I wanted to take some of them with me because they were so nice but they just didn't fit any of us anymore. In the end when I finally was caught by these mythical creatures they ended up being more like gorillas or Bigfoot or Yeti type things but they weren't scary they were dressed in human clothes and had human type personalities and they were laughing because the whole time they weren't even really trying to pursue me in a predatory way and I was just assuming that and making assumptions because of the fact that they were these large mythical creatures. In the end, I felt silly and safe and wasn't afraid to go with them for some reason.

Dream

The first dream I had was me in the city walking back to my hotel at night. I was walking down a empty road with lots of black African women selling things or attempting to sell things on the side of the road there were also some black African men who were selling what looked like umbrellas, made out of tree branches and leaves to the women who were staying outside selling all day. The dream transitioned to me visiting my cousin at his university of Carnegie Mellon after class, I walked to a patch of grass where him, his friends, my sister, and a bunch of other students were sitting and hanging out. It was great to see my cousin and my sister, but when I introduced myself to his friends, his friend wasn’t able to remember his name when I asked because he was so high on some sort of drug. I thought it was a little strange but I laughed at him and patted him on the back, telling him not to worry as I’ve been there before. at the campus there was a big roller coaster that was a drop Tower. I was waiting in line to go on the drop tower taking the stairs and all of a sudden, then entire drop tower fell with everyone on the stairs and killed everyone. I wasn’t scared of the fall but more nervous about the impact. the dream transitioned to me being in a castle with four winged lions that seem to be based on the Eragon book series because they were the color of the dragons in the book. One was gold one was red one was blue one was green. I thought it was pretty cool. The final dream took place in an Airbnb where me and some family friends had planned to rent a house for vacation with everyone however, unfortunately, many of the families with kids had to cancel last minute. There was one Asian family that had kids who were the youngest one of the boys was for the other one looked to be six. The father was a little disappointed that almost everyone else had to cancel last minute, we acknowledge that it was a bummer but what can you do it was beyond our control. later that day, when the Asian dad and his two sons were at the Pool, his older son began to become depressed and cry, and asked to go home. the father of the son and agreed that it would be best for them to go home meet the family friend call for a private bus to bring them home.

Mansion

Dream

I had this dream where my husband and I were standing on top of this hill looking out over a valley and through some hills I could see this beautiful mansion. I pointed it out to Jonathan and then in an instant I was in front of the house. It was gorgeous. There was this iron gate around it and I walked in the gate and outside the front of the house was a lion and black panther. The lion was chill, big and had a full mane. I remember thinking to myself “wow I can’t believe I get to live here” I went to leave and the black panther was getting a little hostile and growling at me as I left. I treated the panther like a cat being hostile and told it to behave and calm down. I left to locate Jonathan. I never actually entered the house before I woke up from the dream.
