What did you dream about last night?

[Luna the Great of all the Russias 2,985]

I recently had a dream where I was in bookstore, and purchased many books because they were being sold at an absurd discount of over 90% off. I recall most of the books being on metaphysics, religion and traditions more generally. Some of them were by René Guénon (or rather books presumably written by him but non-existent in reality), and other books were included as part of a box set that included ritualistic items and traditional symbols (I recall some containing sets of candles, incense and various small statues of Buddha). It was a lovely dream.

Not much, but the dream was all over the place

From what I remember:
I was in Japan and was at some huge marketplace checking out a handful of shops. As I was leaving I ended up talking with these two guys who spoke English and we talked about Japanese history and culture compared to American culture, how intertwined America and Japan have been since World War 2, how World War 2 bombings leveled a lot of historical architecture in Japan. It was pretty cool honestly.

I dreamed that I made an exit by force on the horizontal bar. I just tried to make it and I easily managed to make it. I don't understand how it happened, it was always hard for me to do this element.

I don't remember. But oh my gosh, I remember a forum dream I had once where I woke up from it and giggled at how ridiculous it was and thought to myself, "oh man, I can't wait to log on to tell everyone how ridiculous what they were doing was and how it made perfect sense at the time!" Then, I went back to sleep. Woke up. And forgot what it was or what was even so funny.

I dreamt about setting up a picture in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

A circle and a square, no kidding that was it.

My latest dream had me buying my grandma’s old house she had while I was growing up and moving into it. That was pretty much the gist of the dream, just moving into the house and then towards the end the neighbors came over and brought some food for us to eat. Pretty normal dream 8/10.

[DubWolf 17,263]

It was... 2parts? The latter was so abstract and unusual I was afraid realizing what it means.

The first part.... I was in a construction site. Some of the structure collapsed below me but I clung on to something and I swung back and forth. Also I was in the sky now for some reason, trying to avoid a bunch of people doing those parachute formations.

The second part I was with some kids (I think I was just an observer). There were.... 8 pages or something we were randomly looking for... throughout time. Also at some point to earn a page, there was some computer game that took place in.... heck (or hey, it resembled one of those Bowser castle maps with all the fire). Looking at the pages apparently wasn't pleasant (why? I don't know) The final part of the dream they/we're all older, the 8 pages have been found (lol this ain't slenderman!) and we're climbing up this long series of stairs in what looks like a big, building with giant windows (like a mall..). Takes a while. The dream ends with us being presumably at the top, we look at the bottom (something is there) and.... at that point the dream ends. I don't know what I saw. It was something shocking. A figure? Somebody died via jumping off? It was just my imagination and yeah sometimes what you think is a dream is just you imagining what you think would be there.

Yeah I feel like I understand somewhat what the dream is saying.

The demon Andras wanted me to do a painting of him. Said he’d give me something in return if I did. 

To be fair it’s understandable I had this sort of dream because I was actually looking up demons  and creatures to do artwork on earlier that day. I love doing art of mythological creatures, gods, goddesses and demons. I’m almost done the one I did of Vassago.

I dreamt about me and my family visiting this odd store- mixed of variety and vintage. The store was really huge and each room was filled with different things. It was very organized. I was shopping around trying to find something unique for me to wear. My sister was there with me and she said maybe look for a hat since you like collecting them. So we went around and found a section of hats. I looked around and most of them are top hats, bowlers, newspaper cap, and fedoras. Of course these are my favorite hats but I have so many of them that it’s not unique enough. I remember the store have another older vintage hat section around the store and decided to ask this one Asian man in his 40s. 
 

He was quite rude and I didn’t like his poor attitude when I asked him where is the hat section. He told me the hat section is located in H-29. Hence how the sections of the rooms are being organized. I looked around and check every room there and see no hats. I asked him again and this time he was getting very impatient with me and repeat. I was getting little angry by his rudeness but, I kept myself composed and try to be polite. I didn’t want to bother him and finally I managed to find it. All the older vintage hats was in a glass case. Pile up like people dump it there. It was all used. At top of these hats was one not like the other. It was happen to be a military cap. A SS to be made specific, except it doesn’t have the symbol at the front as it seems like it was missing. 
 

I told my sister this is the one I wanted. It was my hat.  I asked the man if he can open the case because I wish to make a purchase. He looked at me and becoming bitter. He was saying something to me like get it yourself. I tried to explain to him nicely I can’t, it’s locked. He refused. So I asked him for his manager and so without saying else, the man just took off. A woman supposedly the manager, came in and said to me “sorry about that but you must understand that this man have gone through a lot in the past week- there has been an accident.” She was explaining about his situation and that someone he knows died. 
 

But I was too upset to even care because In my thought, it was like “oh you’re trying to make me feel like the bad guy now?” I tried to explain to her politely that I wanted to make a purchase because the hat was mine and it doesn’t not give the man the excuse to be rude. But as I tried to explain my voice begin to trailing off like I’m losing my voice to speak out on my defense. The lady started to turned at the small boy who was looking at the same case of hats and want buy one a hat from there. It was a newspaper cap. The lady smile and said of course and literally ignoring me like I was invisible. My sister ignored me too and focus on the boy and complimenting his hat. 
 

I tried to speak out and the feeling begin to feel heavy. Like I was angry but not because of I was unable to get my hat, but at the fact that they are ignoring  my frustration and pain. That I’m not the bad guy here. I almost felt like I was pleading for their attention to hear me out and understand my situation. At the end, I did felt bad not taking the time to understand the man because of my own desire so it was a karma for me. 
 

 I went ahead and do some researching about hats in dream and reading this part seem pretty accurate to my current lifestyle 

Spoiler

If you happen to see a hat in a dream, but no one wears it, it symbolizes secrets. It may represent secrets you hide and are especially unwilling to share.
 

You seek for a way to bury them, to hide them; perhaps, even from yourself.

The hat is an opportunity to hide the secrets. It could also reflect your suspicion about other people hiding things from you.

If you see many hats around you in a dream, it indicates that you are surrounded with fake friends, people who pretend to be what they were not. If all the hats are black, it suggests these people around you are not only hiding their true faces, but their intentions towards you are not the best.

It could also mean that you feel exposed in certain environment and feel as if you do not know how to play bay their rules.

If those hats came in many colors, it means you really have no idea whom to trust in waking life.

All offer rather interesting ideas, but you are suspicious of whose intentions are good and whose are not.

This dream indicates you are insecure and easily seduced by attractive suggestions. You do not think by your own head, but surrender to others’ influence.

I've been having pretty intense dreams recently. Had one that was an entire adventure time episode. Finn dressed up in a costume for a mission, Marceline didn't realize it was him and accidentally bit him, giving him vampirism. Caused him to go partly crazy.

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 3,112]

I dreamed that I and my classmates flew to the Moon or Venus (I don't remember exactly). We found a base there and entered it. A few minutes later, a powerful explosion occurred. The entrance to the base was filled with stones and there was dust everywhere. When we got out, we walked away from the base and looked at the sky. It turned out that the Earth had exploded. Then I just walked. We were without spacesuits all this time.

My dream was cut into bits by bits but it’s actually made all sense once I done some digging what these dreams meant for me. 
 

My first dream was me at the train station. It was around in the 40s and it was dark. It was definitely busy nevertheless, as if everyone was rushing to get to the train. It was a bit  chaotic. I was either a soldier there being stationed there to enforce transportation or a train conductor- I don’t remember but I was wearing a uniform. There’s a lady, very old lady who’s a nun come up to me saying something like don’t put me in the train because of the a “dead woman”  there. I was confused at first what she meant by that. She then reach out to me and grab my hand. On that split moment, it felt like I was flashed in her point of view. Except I wasn’t here. It felt like I was standing there on a train with her. Another split moment I wasn’t sure what happened but I saw a dead woman in there. That dead woman was the same old Nun that was at the train station. I was taken back where I started and staring at the old nun. She didn’t want to get on the train because of the “dead woman”.  I remember feeling conflicted what to do. The dream shifted to something else afterward. 
 

The symbol of the dream when it comes to being at the train station.

”Perhaps your dream has you standing at the station while multiple trains come and go, while you never catch any of them?

You might need to make an essential decision in your waking life, but you can’t bring yourself to take the plunge.

Instead of striking out on a new path, you are dithering at the station and avoiding making the necessary choices.”

———————

“Dream about both “Dead” and “Nun” means self-reliance, stability, tactfulness and careful forethought. You are trying to rationalize your emotions. You are unable to speak about some unimportant situation. This dream is a clue for turning issues or conditions around you. You are lacking initiative. Dream about dead nun symbolises dietary balance. You are a non-conformist. You are sucking in the life energy of others for your own selfish benefit. This dream is a clue for the need to hold some situation or relationship together. You will find closure to those unresolved issues.”

 

My dream shifted and I was again back in that old vintage store that I have dreamt about while back. There’s a small pond and we were told if you jump in you will find yourself in your future. I hesitate at first because the pond was musky and dark. Eventually I decided to make a jump. I stated to sink and everything was calm and quiet. Just as I hit the bottom- my vision came to me and I was at my old home. I was kneeling and had a knife with me. Without thinking I stabbed myself, killing myself in progress. I came back to the surface after witnessed my future self. My dream ended after that. 
 

Again, I went ahead and did some digging what this dream is trying to tell me. 

“Suicide dreams have notoriously been connected with a poor self-image. It indicates that one needs to change but the metaphor of such a dream is associated with the end of something. It is not uncommon for these types of dreams to appear when one has been addicted to either drugs or cigarettes. Yes, this is easy to do when we are struggling with things in life. Maybe you are just feeling that things are too much stress. Maybe you feel that no matter how much you try you never get anywhere. The dream of suicide is about "acceptance" that we need to learn from what we are thrown at in life.

Sometimes, in life we suffer from immense depression, this is only natural. We all have challenges and difficulties in life and sometimes we do feel that we need a way out. Being mentally unstable in the dream suggests that “life in general” has taken its toll. It could be that you are having suicidal thoughts in waking life and this is why the dream has appeared. It indicates that you are focused on radically changing, in essence, ending whatever it is that is causing you concern. When we look at suicide we are also associating the dream with how you used to be in the past and how you are now in the future.

Suicide in dreams symbolizes your need for power. Another aspect of such a dream refers to giving a solution to a problem by killing a part of it. Suicide is associated with self-destructive tendencies which you probably must give up. You should ask yourself what side of your personality should you follow and what is it that you want to be more involved in. Dreaming of suicide could foretell that a project or a business might come to an end.

Spiritually speaking, a dream of suicide suggests that something old in your life needs to be unleashed. It can mean that you could give up a negative passion of yours. This dream could also be a warning of a change coming your way. Committing suicide in a dream indicates that a failure could happen. If others commit suicide, this foretells that people you don’t know will have a strong influence on you. A lover committing suicide in your dream means that you will be disappointed in him or her and worry about his or her infidelity.“

Dirty Pond 

“This dream represents your life’s equilibrium or lack thereof. Something that has been brewing for some time is about to be revealed because you’ve hit a snag on your way to achieving your objectives. 

Besides, your dream is a sign that you are disregarding a situation in your life or might be overextending yourself. Unfortunately, a dirty pond dream is a warning sign of masculine or animalistic hostility. 

Alternatively, this could indicate a lack of self-esteem or confidence. In your dream, what you’re saying is unclear.”

 

I feel as though overall to have a lot of conflicting feelings and overbearing emotions and at the end I need to figure or rediscover myself again as I have let my conflicting situations blinded me.

My last dream was yet again a strange but an interesting one. For the first time ever, the dream was taken during the Medieval time. As a pauper, I was taken to a castle to be trained to be a squire. Although there were certain duties to be taken before I could earn my spot as one. Which was helping around the castle and cleaning. I was a diligent worker in helping around the castle. The kingdom was only ruled by a Queen and her daughter. I was 14 and the princess was 18. I fell in love with the princess and wanted to be with her. 

One night I snuck up to the Queen and the Princess’s private room and when I got there, the Princess was a sleep. She definitely looked like a sleeping beauty. The room was just as beautiful as she is. The ceiling doesn’t have a roof, as it was covered in leaves instead. It was like walking in a magical garden of Greece. The room was so relaxing so I sat on the floor across where the princess was sleeping peacefully. I can feel my body relaxing as I just realized that I haven’t gotten a break since I have been so focused on working hard so that I could worthy enough to be a squire. 

I fell asleep and my dream self begin to dream. It was a dream within a dream. My dream self dreamt about going through a timeskips of his life as well as the next life and so forth. I don’t remember these events specifically but it was a bit chaotic. The last dream which I actually do remember, was  my ‘dream-self’s” dream was taken in during WW2. I was standing on the sidewalk, young and watching the German soldiers marching. It felt like being in a movie, I was mesmerized, in awe. Of all the dreams I dreamed about wars, this moment felt like a good memory to my dream self. My dream-self last thought, before he woke up was “one day I will be one of them.”

My dream self finally woke up and I was back in the room. I felt a little disoriented but before I could get myself up, I heard the Queen coming. The room has two hallways leading to two exits. The Queen was coming from the right, so I quickly got up and ran to the left to avoid her seeing me. Since if I was caught, it would cost my chance of becoming a squire or worse. I can hear the Queen coming in as I run. She knows someone was in the room since she can hear my footsteps running down the hallway. But luckily the room was kinda dark so she couldn't see it was me. I quickly reach the door and open it. 

Unfortunately for me there were guards standing by and I closed the door back. I saw a closet on my left side and before I could reach it to hide, the Queen already caught up to me and cornered me. My heart literally sank and I could find myself unable to breathe. It caught me off guard that I fell down backwards. I push myself against the wall in fear. Her wrath was overwhelming and no word  to express how mad she looked. But I can remember how furious she was by judging how her face glowed red. She was shouting and insulting something at me but I couldn’t make out what she was saying.But all I remember was her saying something like “you little bastard”. 

She grabbed me by my ear and pulled me up and dragged me to the bathroom and began to shout at me again. She took out a stick and told me if I want to keep my position I mustn’t cry whenever she lands a hit on me. I nod in agreement. She raises her stick at me and begins to strike me hard several times. The pain was definitely real as I can actually feel it coursing through my whole body, it felt like a burning stinger in each hit. She was grabbing me by my hair as she continued to hit. I tried my best not to cry, and fortunately I did succeed in holding back my cries. After that, she grabbed me up and tossed me out to the guards. She was going to throw me to the dungeon for a week without food and water as my punishment. I woke up afterward. But I froze for a moment as that dream was very traumatic for me

A few nights ago I dreamt I won a Sunny and Izzy plush at one of those scam games you see at fairs and theme parks. First time I can remember dreaming of anything pony related. Rest of the dream was pretty unremarkable.

[Dreambiscuit 9,816]

I had a dream in which my brother opened his theater with a very odd choice of plays from a generic catalog of choices. The show was a murder mystery taking place in the Hippy era, without anything compelling or original. And the members of the audience kept coming backstage to hang out with the cast and crew like it was just a big party for hanging out. The murder victim, an elderly lady still wearing a blood-stained blouse from her murder in the opening scene, was making refreshments backstage and entertaining anyone who came around. Everyone seemed to have a good time even though it’s not what I would ever imagine happening at the theater in real life.

[Envy 6,169]

Had a dream with my grandparents in it. They passed away many years back, so... yeah. The dream also had a white wolf in it. For some reason we brought the wolf into our home. The wolf was supposed to be "domesticated" as much as a wolf can possibly be, but I was super nervous about that. On the other hand, I think wolves are beautiful so I also found it to be neat. lol
