dream-about-murder-accomplice
Angry at Dad
Fear
Escape
Knife
Prison
Group

Dream

I was an accomplice to a murder. I was attending a dinner with a small group of women. No idea what the occasion was. It was at one of their homes. My partner came with me. There was a blonde woman there that my partner was flirting with and vice versa so i was in a really bad mood. I was angry but trying so hard to hide it but the more the woman spoke the harder it was to hold in my anger and annoyance. We were all sitting together in a large circle- the blonde women sitting opposite me and my partner on the other side of the room. The blonde woman eventually got up and when she did, another woman just randomly went up to her and slit her throat with a kitchen knife. The next thing i remember we were all trying to flee the situation and avoid getting caught. But the people i escaped with were not the same people from the house. My partner was no longer with me but i didn’t necessarily notice this in the dream. I was really scared, especially about getting caught. The group i was with was really set on denying that we knew anything, should we be questioned. But they didn’t have a plan, no alibi, no nothing. I thought to myself, “we’re not gonna get away with this, they will know she was with us last if they seize her phone”. Eventually we end up at some type of prison camp? I’m actually not sure what it was, but there were lots of other people there and there was set meal times, followed by everyone lining up to get vitamins, similar something like that of a camp or prison. I don’t know why hay is significant. There were haystacks around this place. I repeatedly played the scene in my head and i remember feeling a sense of relief when i remembered that i didn’t kill the woman myself. I reminded one of the people in my group and they mentioned that the girl who did it wasn’t even with us. I was terrified of going to jail but knew i was incapable of lying. I was thinking of all the ways we’d get caught and trying to find a way around it.

Being Late

Dream

i had a dream my roommate was getting ready to go to her new boyfriend anthony’s house in florida (we live in california) but i decided to tag along on a separate flight and then we got there and her and her boyfriend had the room with multiple beds but i was assigned a room that was basically a prison with a pad for a bed but i took a nap in one of the beds in anthony’s room and i woke up disoriented and i had packed in 2 seconds and realized i forgot my meds so within like hours of being there i immediately flew home. but before i went home i went kinda crazy at anthony’s and got naked and his door in his room to outside was open and the neighbors across the property (it was like in the middle of nowhere) were like wizards and flew a firework out of their hands essentially to warn me to put clothes on and then we had like a baseball scene from the movie twilight moment against them to stick up for ourselves bc they were like threatening violence. and also i decided to walk like 5k floors up a hospital to get my dads belongings bc apparently he had died in a hospital 3 years ago but no one got his belongings yet and i had to climb up the stairs to get them. (he died 5 years ago). and there were two women behind me but i was getting tired and emotional and crying and they for some reason were only communicating with me over the phone and were kinda telling me hey stand aside so we can pass by you so i think i stepped aside so they could pass me by and i still had so many floors to climb and i don’t know if i ended up giving up i might have woken up.

Nudity
Violence and death
Prison

Dream

Last night, I had a dream where I was sentenced to 25 years in a real penitentiary, though I didn’t know the crime I committed. I was told to plead guilty to a gun charge, which spared me from a life sentence. In the dream, I was being transferred in a van and became close friends with other inmates who introduced me to people in the prison. They told me that someone could get me anything I wanted, and I remember being protected by these inmates and forming strong connections with them. Later, I was sitting in a line when a group of women in bras and panties walked on the side of me. One of them made eye contact and sat down beside me. She mentioned she was married, but a guard told her to get dressed and return to her cell. As she walked away, the dream shifted to her talking on the phone, pleading with someone not to do something. Then, she stumbled upon a scene filled with bodies. It seemed she knew who was responsible, and then the dream ended.

Prison
Son
Grandmother
Child
Dog
Rabbit

Dream

I was living in some sort of facility temporarily I'm not sure what exactly it was but I know that at some point there is some sort of animal shelter there and there was all these different cages for these animals and somehow it was incorporated into my grandma's house I accidentally let out this little bunny rabbit and it ran out of a doggy door and it went outside and these two big dogs attacked it. I was able to get the bunny rabbit away from the dogs and it didn't seem injured but it was scared. I locked it up into one of the little cells and I was more careful with it. There was also this little animal, I'm not even sure what kind of animal it was, but it was so cute, and it stood on two legs, like bipedal, and it was almost like a raccoon, but it was cuter, and it was fuzzy, and it was hugging me back, and I loved it. Then in one of the last cages I found my dog Minnie who has just died a couple weeks ago and throughout the dream I keep losing her. She keeps disappearing and I keep trying to find her. I was in this facility and this facility becomes bigger it was almost like an abandoned prison or something at some point but then inside there was like this atrium and I let Minnie Moop go into the atrium she kept hiding when people who work there would come And eventually the atrium filled up with all kinds of students and it became busy and there was all kinds of people there. Then there's these kids and they wanted me to take a picture with them while they were in line for lunch for the phone book. throughout all this commotion I'm still trying to get to the atrium but now I can't find the atrium and there's all these different buildings in there there's restaurants and it almost is like a casino or like some sort of indoor complex Then I realize I'm too far back and I need to go back around and then all of a sudden my kids, Alex and Holly, my two older kids are kids again. My son is about 13 years old and he comes up to me and he says, Mom, I love you and he gives me a kiss. And I told him I was looking for Minimoob. And I just kept looking, and I couldn't get to her. I couldn't find the atrium in time.

Fight
Best Friend
Fire
Prison
High School
Christmas

Dream

My best friend from high school and I were placed in this huge warehouse with hundreds of conveyor belts, that turned out to be a prison. You had to choose which “conveyor” to use and depending upon which one you chose, had its own “obstacle course” in which meant having to physically fight one another to make it to the next conveyor that had its own theme. Some included dealing with fire. He and I would choose the same path in this warehouse/prison because we only knew each other. The strange part is, it was as if I became him and was viewing what he was experiencing. For some reason in the far back of this warehouse was a private section that was a Christmas holiday conveyor belt for children to have a fun and entertaining path. I watched my best friend sneak over to the private section where the kids were, knowing that if he got caught it could mean death. He went thru several checkpoints on this conveyor without being caught so he tried to see if he could do this again. While on one section of this path I was elevated about 10 feet above the ground as if riding a sky lift made for only 1 person and remembering having a piece of chewing gum that was stuck to my tooth and the more I pulled, the more that kept coming. I could occasionally break it off but there would always be a piece dangling from my tooth. It’s as if it we’re never ending. At the last checkpoint before being able to exit, someone noticed that we were attempting to sneak out and called security. Security stops the conveyor belt and tells me to smile because all the prisoners had to wear a mouth guard like boxers use. Know that we were busted, I smiled and immediately spit out the mouth hard and started running knowing we were about to be caught.

Family

Dream

Basically family hunger games, where one whole family has to fight a bunch of other families to the death… the setting was a three story prison. I mostly stayed inside as a sniper, while the rest of my family went out at fought. Until there was just my family and one other family left. There was a speaker that told us that children were the first targets. My younger brother hid inside our cell with me, basically me sitting on him as I stay there. I hear a bunch of fighting and eventually my brother falls asleep, I take off my favorite windbreaker and put it onto him to his him better. As soon as I do my uncle runs in telling me the other family has moved from guns to grenades, and that they’ve gone deaf and can’t fight no more, so I sent him to guard my brother as I got out where I saw the other family cowering in fear aside from the father walking over to our side throwing grenades, I use a pipe to hit them away like a bat w/ a baseball. The bald man came up to me and start fighting me, I threw a grenade of my own into their family’s cell as a guy dropped one at my feet, I panicked and threw the man off the edge of the balcony, making him fall two stories and then I kicked the grenade as far as I could before it exploded then I looked over at my brother worriedly, noticing my uncle wasn’t in there with him, I woke up just before the grande exploded.

Tunnel
Airport
Mermaid

Dream

In this dream I am a male I am an anomaly, some kind of a merfolk-immortal hybrid and I need to die apparently Or people think I need to So I run away, across cities and ports and all sorts of locations, hiding my identity First I’m jn the Pacific ocean Then I am somehow swimming by the Isle of Scots; I see fogs, trees, jagged steep cliffs of limestones and everything Then I get to the Great Britain, have an escapade across London and get to the Iberian peninsula by swimming and everything I have the ability to sling threads across and swing on it like Spider-man I’m then climbing across old cathedrals, in Paris I’m caught but then there’s skyscrapers like the ones in Singapore and then suddenly I’m in Spain again, I’m taken to the airport with other prisoners to be transported but we trick the guards and the warden into thinking we’re following And then we scatter in different directions I for one am chased through tunnels cutting through a small hill in the city, through the cathedral’s steeples and around the glass futuristic skyscrapers built like a Klein bottle There’s vegetations everywhere and the city itself is build amidst the forests and stuff so that makes sense And then by and IN the sea I am taught the truth of my origins A lot of stuff happens and now I’m back on land, disguising myself as human again I’m in this school made from a villa by the sea of Andalusia There’s scarcely any women I’m hiding in the shared shower space because it’s like the only place aside from the ocean where they have proper water supply and I need water to not dry out and die One of the males I’m infatuated with and every time I’m in some sort of a heat he comes to me and fucks my guts(literally, I take out just my gut somehow and feel him Bluetooth-fuck it) I’d suck his cock and make love and stuff but homosexuality is apparently forbidden in this school/place His girlfriend finds this out and joins in(I’m still the bottom, she’s getting eaten out by me while the guy pistons me from the hind) It’s a quickie so before long the school’s warden and stuff comes in and I have to run I climb the veneer boards and patched high walls of the room and make it outside as the police comes in to track me down I can hear the wardens’ voices in my head so I know what they’re trying to do or where they’re at(telepathy?) I use the web-slinging and my atheticism to get across the villa and back to the ocean I sling across the villa’s terracotta walls and vine balconies and for some fucking reason I appear female to the onlookers so people think I’m some sort of a fairy-maniac they’re hallucinating Finally I’m on the ground so I grovel and crawl through the parking lot made of pebbles and the shoreline’s rocks gathering unscathed pretty seashells(mostly clams, mussels, scallops, respective colors gradient of red-orange-pink or green-blue-purple, purple, terra-cotta orange and pink) Thw warden’s car comes in so I run and dive into the ocean

Door
Escape
Fighting
Prison

Dream

I was sent to a place where I saw a lot of people in it looked like they were in a mall I later found out it was a prison. I later inherited a scythe that I used to rescue the people from their prison. I came back and told them to grab everyone here and when I come back I would set them all free. They were scared a bit as they told me that the person in charge won’t let that happen. I reaffirmed them that I would take care of him. When I came back, I started by tapping the scythe and a door appeared and I hearded the people into the door to free them the first batch went smoothly but we then ran out of time and I told them that I would be back tomorrow to free more people. When I came back I opened the door and started guideing people into the door when the person in charge tried to stop me. I started fighting him for a while while the other people were escaping thru my door. I defeated him just as time ran out and told everyone that make sure they close all the stores and put down the gates. When I came back they did it and looked like I was almost done just as the person in charge was trying to disguise him self as a prisoner but I figured it out and stopped him as he was trying to escape thru the door. I told him I have a special place for him and as soon as the last person left and I closed the door to get another for the person in charge I woke up

Duck
I Love You

Dream

I was attempting to free family members that were captured in a prison getting brain washed. The prison was high in the sky and were guarded by ducks that flying around the rectangular prison. No one was able to sneak in and break my family members out prison. The members of my family that were in prison was my Brazilian grandpa and my Brazilian godmother‘s son Saulo. The dream had occurring at night time when I saw my grandpa and Saulo in the dream there in a dark room and didn’t recognize me. My grandpa who had already passed away, looked older and weaker. when he looked at me he didn’t recognize me, which was heartbreaking. I remember looking into his eyes, hugging him and saying I love you. I know you’re there. I love you and I felt he noticed deep inside. The last scene of the dream was a group of four brave toy dolls that were getting ready to free the prisoners inside, but unfortunately, I knew that they weren’t going to make it alive and they somewhat knew that as well. all of them had a red light on the top of their head that would go off as an alarm every certain time. And they would reset it. The dream ended
