Death

This is for two dreams, one this morning and another a few nights ago, both pretty grim and centred around death, as the title suggests.

In the first, I observed a cliff with a large rocky outcrop jutting from it.  There were hundreds of people on this outcrop. I then learned that terrorists had planted bombs underneath. As they detonated, the rocky platform dropped down the cliff face a little way then stopped.  Later in the dream, it fell all the way to the depth below as people panicked and screamed.  The screams haunted my ears as I woke up.

In the second dream, I was in a house looking out to the road from the front door that had a large window.  Through it, I saw a marauding gang running down the street attacking people.  I could hear lots of screaming and shouting, and many of this gang's victims were children.

I had a few other people in the house with me, including a young girl who was around 14, and I noticed that she'd opened the door to see what all the commotion was, but this now meant that we were exposed.

I crawled along the ground so I couldn't be seen by anyone outside and pushed the door closed.  As I was doing this, I saw some of the gang members looking in, but I don't think they saw me as they just kept on running down the street attacking people.

Once the door was shut, I told the other people in the house to lay low, turn off all the lights and be as quiet as possible so that nobody would think we were in.

As with the last dream, what stood out was the screaming of the victims and the blood spatters I saw through the window, some of which had got inside the house from when the girl opened the door. 

The Flood

 It's been a while since I posted. Dream remembrances have been patchy, but I have also been somewhat undisciplined in not recording the few I have remembered.  This changes today.

This morning, I woke from a dream where I was in some kind of college building (a familiar theme it would seem). I don't know why I was there, I don't think I was studying, just passing through.  Anyway, I had a bag with me, and I put it down somewhere and took out my Nintendo Switch.  I then left my bag and walked off with my Switch, intending to play it in another room.

I walked through the corridors and through a window at the end of one of them, I saw panicked people running through the streets screaming. I wondered why they were until I saw water rushing behind them in a flood.  I immediately knew that something bad was going to happen and that the building I was in wasn't safe either, so I turned to go and get my bag.

As I turned, I then heard screaming from within the building followed by the sound of something bursting and more rushing water, signaling that the flood had now entered the building. I then ran back to go and find my bag, but doing so meant going between one building and another, which also meant temporarily walking outside to pass through to the other building. As I did this, I went outside to see that the water was already there and was already high enough to block my passage to the other building, meaning I would not be able to get my bag and might also be caught in the flood.

 I then remembered I was dreaming and took off into the air to escape the flood at the last minute.

 

Forbidden love

This dream came out of nowhere, and involved a female friend (the same one mentioned in this dream).

She stood with her back to me as I stood behind her with my hands around her waist.  We remained in this affectionate pose for a while and talked.  I said something about being in love with her. 

She eventually turned around and we started kissing.  We both knew we shouldn't be doing this and both said as much, but we continued anyway. If my fiance found out what we were doing, she'd be devastated, but I couldn't stop. I loved this woman.

We kissed, she rubbed herself against me. I slipped inside her, we made love there and then.  That was the dream.

Freedom

 This follows on from the last dream.  In this one, I am in a college building similar to my old workplace, but it's time for lunch, so I set about finding something to eat.  The campus has several canteens; the one I want is the farthest away, but it has the best food, so I set off for it.

This in itself is a recurring scenario I've had in many dreams in the past.  Sometimes, I don't make it to the canteen in time and all the food has run out, other times, I do.  In this dream, I walked casually to the canteen, which involved walking down several long corridors as with the last dream.  In the back of my mind, I thought it would turn into another dream where I become lost and trapped in ever changing hallways, but this didn't happen.  What's more, in this dream, the same hallways were filled with people decorating them and fixing things up, which was new.  I carried on walking and descended a small flight of steps to a mezzanine floor.  To the left of me was the canteen, but straight ahead was the way out of the building, and I could see the sun shining from the outside.  I decided to forego the canteen and step outside, which I was able to do without any restrictions whatsoever. It was sunny and bright outside.

These dreams seems to be alluding to the fact that something has changed for the better, and I like that.

Escaping the labyrinth

This dream occurred the morning of the previous day (17/11/24), but I've only got round to posting it now.

I've been having recurring dreams for the last year or so where I'm in a large building, be it an office, school or college and at some point, I need to go to a specific room or area, but find myself getting lost.  Sometimes, I'll find myself seemingly going around in circles trying to find the room or I'll turn corners and open doors to find that the corridors keep changing. I usually wake from those dreams feeling frustrated and left with the lingering impression that something was left unresolved. But not this time.

In this particular dream, I was in a college building (essentially a much larger version of my old workplace) and at some point, I needed to find a particular room.  I ended up going walking through doors that looped back to where I started and found myself lost again.  At one point, I decided to climb out of a window which dropped me down to the ground floor (I was able to float down without hurting myself).  When I got there, I looked one way up the corridor and saw a group of lads. I thought about going that way to get to my destination but felt compelled to look the other way first, which is when I saw the exit to the building.  I then decided I'd be better of getting out instead, so that's what I tried to do.

I say tried, because as I walked to the exit, I felt a force trying to repel me, but I fought against it and eventually pushed through the doors leading into the building and got outside. I looked around and continued running, then eventually floating, thinking to myself "I did it! I finally escaped!".

I don't know what this all alludes to yet, but it feels significant.

Uni woes, radio chatter and an affair

 I had three dreams that stood out, all this morning.

In the first, I was back at university, but was staying at a hotel rather than a student house or halls of residence.  I had a lecture that morning and got up early.  I started walking to uni then realised I was still wearing my bedclothes so I started to head back.  Even though I'd only walked a short distance, it was now midday, which now meant I'd missed my lecture, which was at 9. I was dismayed as this was my second day of missing lectures and I was starting to worry about falling behind.

As I tried to head back, I ended up getting lost and found myself in the city centre (the city I was in resembled London with its high rise buildings). I retraced my steps (which took me through the middle of a hair salon) and the dream ended as I was walking back to my hotel.

I occasionally have dreams where I'm back at uni and falling behind in my course or missing lectures and, like this dream, they always leave me feeling unsettled.

In the second dream, I was talking to a friend whose recently started a radio station and invited me to do a show. I was just asking him about the format and setup as we sat on a bus.  As he was talking, I realised my show was to start in 10 minutes an I was almost late, but just made it in time.

In the third dream, I was having an affair with my neighbour's teenage daughter (she's 17 IRL but was 18/19 in this dream). We stood on the doorstep of our homes, planning our next clandestine meeting.  I don't know where that came from. And no, I haven't been thinking about her in that way.

Revenge/Guilty passion

The first of these two dreams happened the night before (16th).  I was on a high-rise council estate looking at something on my phone.  I then noticed a group of kids (around 12-13) staring at me and realised they wanted my phone.  The kids started to close in on me so I manoeuvred myself to attack, making a motion akin to the "hadouken" move from the Street Fighter games (Google it).  As I did that, the kids backed away. Unfortunately, someone who was a bit older came up from behind and was able to prevent me from making my move. It was then that I realised I was dreaming and tried to wake myself up.  I managed to almost do it, but felt something dragging me back into the dream. Fortunately, I was able to wake up again briefly.

A few minutes later, I fell back to sleep and the dream continued, only this time, I was seeking revenge on my attackers.  I visited each of them at their homes, knocked on their doors, and when they answered, I launched an attack on them. I was able to take down all of them this way.

The second dream happened last night, and in it, I was kissing a female YouTuber I follow whom I was simply refer to as J.  The dream felt very realistic, and our kissing was passionate and sensual.  I eventually lay her down and started telling her she was sexy and that I wanted her.  As things started to get more heated, she suddenly stood up and said she couldn't do it because it was wrong. She quickly left after that.
