Hello! I’ve never been on this subreddit and wasn’t sure what to call this post, pls lmk if not allowed!
As for the dream, last night I had this weird dream where I was hanging out with a few people I used be extremely close with, and we kept switching places to explore. In every place we switched to, there was this same old man (~60) that appeared to ask me to do something for him. The man was not any I know, or have ever known. This went on for a while, until at one point I ended up sitting alone with him.
While we were sitting, he was just allowing me to ask different questions (I don’t remember the answer to any unfortunately) but the questions were all about him. At the very end, I asked him “who are you”, and right as he was going to answer, I woke up completely unable to move but hyperventilating and sobbing. I also felt extremely sad about the whole dream, but I have 0 clue why. This is not at all normal for me, I’ve never had a dream or woken up like this before.
I’m usually not one to attach much meaning to dreams, but this one was so weird to me and really struck something in me. Any comments are appreciated, Just looking for any guidance !
