Multiple Disturbing Dreams in One Night
I’m sure that I had this series of bad dreams because of my sleep schedule being adjusted from less than regular sleep coupled with the stress of being unemployed but I wanted to share.
Lots of Flys
I’m in unit with 4 other people and I noticed the newest roommate that joined last month left a bag of trash outside his door. I also went onto the roof of the building and saw a huge bee trying to enter and I assumed that the bee was returning to a hiding spot inside the building.
The dream had a bunch of flies inside the unit I lived in and I felt disgusted. During the dream I genuinely thought that it was reality of this new roommate so I was going to call the maintenance guy in the building to bring lots of fly traps but then I questioned inside the dream that this may be a dream and wallah it was.
Intruders
I “woke” up to my roommate letting in a family of people that looked like they were struggling by the looks of their hygiene, attire, and intelligence. I went downstairs and they got right into script about how they needed a space to stay and I declined but while I was declining one of them went into my room and that feeling of someone that I don’t know angered me, I have my IDs in there and my biggest fear is someone going into my personal room and taking it. I ran after the intruder, found them under my blanket in the corner holding my IDs. My anger gave me the strength to grab the intruder by the neck and slam them from the top of the stairs to the floor.
Gunshots into the Front Door
I then woke up into the next dream and I went to my friends apartment that was somehow renovated for the front door to resemble something like the place where the dog in Marty Supreme went to. My friend’s apartment has had news stories since she moved in about shootings in the neighborhood so my brain must of believed that this was the day I got involved in a situation. When I arrived into the building someone was knocking really hard and yelling. Wasn’t my building so I wasn’t going to open but that was the wrong decision because gunfire started raining through the front door. I was panicking so I when I called the police I didn’t know the exact address of my friend but I knew the intersection that is a one building away. I tried to be calm on the phone but the gun shots made me think my friend was somehow struck so I hoped the authorities would be able to make it quickly.
Waking up for real
Waking up I was so relieved that all of it was a dream but I was concerned that either my family or my friend was hurt so I went online to convince myself otherwise. Read about stress and sleep schedule contribute so I hoped that was it and I connected the dots in my real life. Still, I texted my brother to confirm if everything back home was okay. My friend also texted later that day confirming a future get together so I assumed she was safe.
To calm myself I just listened to some country music and ate my unemployment breakfast which was great, danced a little as well.
Never really get nightmares but I hope future me wakes up instead jumping from one to another. Thanks for reading, have a good one.
