I Had a Dream About an Entity Explaining Time and I Can’t Stop Thinking About it

Had one of the strangest dreams of my life last night and I can’t stop thinking about it.

In the dream, I met this “entity” that told me it had existed for over 400 years. It started explaining time to me in a way that honestly messed with my head. It said that all of time has already been written, and that humans only perceive it as linear because that’s the only way our minds are capable of experiencing it.

The best comparison it gave was a record player. A song already exists in full from beginning to end, but when you play it, you only hear it one moment at a time. According to the dream, time works the same way: the past, present, and future already exist simultaneously, but we experience them sequentially.

What’s weird is how calm and matter of fact the entity sounded, like it was explaining something obvious. The dream felt way more vivid than normal, almost like I was being told information instead of just dreaming random nonsense.

Has anyone else had dreams like this? Or are there actual theories/philosophies that describe time this way?

I tried recreating my dream I had

Someone showed me a video on their phone, which was this, but I could only watch for 3 seconds before turning away in disgust.

A mother orangutan eating her cold nearly dead babies like a reverse Pez dispenser.

It doesn’t look like it, but the movement was very similar to this. It looked like a low quality animation, which is good for me and my “skills”.

This was a small part of the main dream, but this felt like the highlight.

End of the world

Hello everyone.
I had a dream last night that the sun exploded. It was not all ending at first. My husband and I in the dream watched it happen. We somehow met a dentist along the way who we had convinced to put our kids on a lot of laughing gas to try and put them to sleep before everything started falling apart. We finally got them high enough on it we used actual medicine to knock them out. Then my husband and I drank ourselves to sleep just as the ground started shaking, light disappeared, and buildings collapsed. It was a slow, dreadful, anxious burn through out. But I think we successfully kept our kids from being frightened and not knowing. Any reasons as to why or was it just a weird dream. This has been the second time in two weeks I’ve had this same dream of the sun exploding.

I taught myself lucid dream nearly every night. Anyone else?

Since I was little, I’ve had frequent nightmares about a range of things, from morbid realistic fears to irrational childish fantasies. Due to these night terrors, I learned very early to control the setting, plot, characters, dialogue, and actions of my dreams when I deem the storyline is getting out of control.

It started with simple awareness, along the lines of “that wall isn’t right, I’m dreaming,” or “that isn’t scientifically possible, this isn’t real.” Then I began to teach myself how to leave unpleasant dreams on command by forcing a wake-up. I’d blink as hard as I can in my dream, and eventually, my eyelids in real life would flutter, and I’d be awake. Finally was fine-tuning, as in fixing the scary aspects. Someone is dying? Nope, we all have superpowers and are safe and happy. Bad weather is coming? No, we’re all just working a pet store and decorating the habitats.

Years later, I have managed to keep the ability to lucid dream into adulthood, and I still dream vividly every night. Now dreaming is an escape, something I look forward to as if I were going to watch a play that I myself wrote the script for. If there’s a person I don’t like, they poof out of existence and are written over with something more pleasant.

I haven’t had any bad nightmares in a very long time, because I can control nearly every aspect of my dream except waking up.

I suspect this ability to control my dreams is related to the fact that I am bedridden, so I don’t see much of the outside world. Dreams are a vacation from the familiarly dull corners of my room.

I’m wondering if anyone else is also able to do so? I’d love to hear about other’s abilities in their dreams.

I did it with an alien ?

It's earth the whole earth has sunk under water,and am the only one alive living on the water surface (I can walk on water),and I live in a wooden house in the middle of the ocean on the surface. One night I hear something outside my door I go out and see a beautiful girl with white hair and milky skin on my door step bruised and wet,I tend to her wounds and as the days past we fall in love. After the night we make love when I come back from hunting I saw her crying, she tells me that she gave birth to our child. I was shocked but happy so without thinking even once I grabbed my child. As soon as I saw my kid, he had the face of serpent, body of a human and tail of a lion. I was scared thats when she told me that she is an alien and came to hunt me but due to a crash was wounded,and seeing my loving nature fell in love with me. After that It was hard to accept it,but I finally did and started my family.

Hugging my childhood self

I had a dream last night where I was with my 2-3year old self. I just kept staring at her, picking her up and hugging her, and it was a very emotional time. I felt like I failed her, like I ruined what she could've been, and just this insane amount of guilt. At the same time, there was this overwhelming feeling of joy, I'm not too sure how to explain it better. Has anyone experienced anything similar? What could it mean? Any input is valued and appreciated. ☺️

Did I just time jump?

Yesterday I had a dream where in,when i slept at night,i suddenly got up sitting on my high school bench with the class in session (mind it i am in my mid 20s so it took me to the time I was in my second year of highschool), so when I got up i was shocked to see the year the teacher the students and more surprising was that in I had an athletic body(during my school days I was healthy kid), and i figured out that much that something is wrong, while I was figuring it out, it was lunch break and during that a girl randomly came to me and I never saw this girl in my school never, she was a good looking girl tall, long brown hair a figure that every man dreams of a girl that would never talk to me during my school days and she invites me to her house.

When I was going to her house i still couldn't recollect who she was,when we reached her place she has a mansion, I don't think that anyone was this rich in my school and I went in to her room and no one was in her house,as soon as I entered her room and was about to ask what's going on I saw it started raining and the lights went out,then she threw me on her bed and started smooching me hard (i have never kissed a girl still don't know i could feel it),I melted and then I couldn't control my self and then our bodies became one.

After that when we were looking at eachother,it was still raining she confessed her love to me and when I was gonna reply with the same i fell asleep there and got up here and it was morning.

Can someone tell me did i really time jump.

Apocalypse with Jennifer Lawrence.

I had this dream last year, one of my fav dreams. It is apocalypse and the dream starts with Jennifer at night in new york running in a half torn beige coloured secretary suite on heels from zombies, and she has around 5 zombies chasing her. While running her heels get stuck in a concrete crack and she trips, as she was gonna get devoured that's when I come in driving a Rolls Royce suv with blue lights under them i smash my way through them and open the passenger door and let her in.

Due to the commotion more zombies were coming in that's when i decided "hell yeah now I got to survive the apocalypse with Jennifer Lawrence", that's when i decided to leave the city.

When it was morning again we started talking i gave her some food and she was really thankful and I started fan boying her that she was great in hunger games and xmen and she has a look off "oh it's nothing for me", so we drove for some time came towards the country side and saw a house which was abandoned, so we decided to make this our lair.

When i parked the car no one could say it was a rolls Royce, when we entered the house it was a really empty and stacked with supplies and surprisingly running hot water and electricity.

As soon as she saw that she told me she gonna take a baat so can I take charge for the time being,so while she was getting ready to take a bath I was sitting outside the washroom.

When it was night we had dinner dimmed the lights and danced a little on old songs.

Our days past like this then one day when i had gone out to get supplies. While leaving she had a face of worry and gave me a huge hug i promised her that I would be fine.

But things went out of my hands, it took me two days to come back as the supply person had been eaten by zombies so I had to hunt for supplies. On the ride back I just hope that she would be fine I cried and hoped that this the only person I have in my life now.

Thats when i reached home I saw her standing outside the door crying as soon as I came close to her I got out of the car and i could see her face it was a face of that she cried a lot as soon as I got out of the car she leaped on me and kissed me with all the passion she had and trust me (I have never kissed a girl in real life but even when I got up i could feel those lips), then I told her everything and kissed me again and when made love,her body was smooth and slender,the smell of her hair were like flowers to me.

Thats when we understood we love each other and then we have to survive this apocalypse together and make more love(come on she is Jennifer).

Dream about an endless maze of toilets

https://preview.redd.it/sl2omabgjh2h1.png?width=619&format=png&auto=webp&s=5215df9bf16cd511dc58189f3501b18e0c643b23

Earlier, I seen a post of a woman explaining how many women have had a dream about a large room with lots of toilets. I've had this reoccurring dream, and I’m curious what people think it might represent.

The dream took place in a long, wide room with low ceilings, kind of murky and dim. It wasn’t scary, just uncomfortable. When I walked in, the door closed behind me, but I didn’t feel the need to leave. It felt like there were other people there, but I couldn't see or hear them.

The entire room was filled with hundreds of toilet stalls, but not arranged in any normal way. They formed a maze with no logic, some paths went nowhere, some looped, some had clusters of four toilets in a circle facing outward. The spacing made no sense.

Everything was made of dark green plastic, like portapottys. No sharp corners anywhere, all rounded, moulded shapes. The toilets were also plastic, connected to the walls, with a dip between the wall and the seat. The stall walls only came up to about torso height when sitting, so there was basically no privacy at all. Some stalls had flimsy little swinging doors, most had none.

The room was kind of filthy, some toilets were full, some weren’t. The outer walls had big school‑style windows with faint black grid lines, but you couldn’t see out of them. Just a dark greenish fog and a faint light from somewhere above.

It was large, but claustrophobic and uncomfortable but not threatening. I tried to recreate the space using a prompt, which was extremely close to what I had seen in the dream, here’s the exact wording I used:

“Photograph, first-person POV just inside the entrance of an impossibly vast low-ceilinged room that extends so far in every direction the walls are not visible, no left wall, no back wall, just stalls fading into dark green murk and infinity. Hundreds upon hundreds of dark olive-green rounded plastic toilet stalls filling every inch of space, packed so densely the room feels consumed by them. The stalls are made of completely smooth, featureless rounded plastic, no panels, no lines, no detail, no texture, like softened blobs of dark green plastic, the bases melting and blending organically into the floor with no hard edge, no join, just a continuous curve from wall to floor. The stall walls are short, barely waist height, fully rounded with zero sharp corners anywhere, so the toilet inside is completely visible from standing. The maze has no logic, paths curve, fork, loop, dead-end randomly, some bend around clusters of stalls, no straight lines, no sense of direction, like being inside a dream with no geometry. Some stalls have small rounded swinging plastic half-doors, most have none. No light source visible anywhere, the room exists in a deep dark olive-green murk, everything just barely perceivable, like eyes adjusted to total darkness, no lamps, no windows casting light, just a sourceless dim comprehension of the space. Wire-grid school windows somewhere impossibly far away on walls lost in darkness. Clean but worn. 35mm film, backrooms liminal horror, hyper-realistic, heavy grain, near-total darkness.”

I’m not necessarily looking for a “correct” interpretation, I’m just curious how this comes across to other people. What would you make of a dream like this?

She made me do whaaat?

In this dream, I am in my early 20s and I go to the country side to my paternal grandparents crib, and one day while walking around with my cousins while crossing a house i stopped to tie my shoes and as I was tieing a girl came running out from her house looked around a little she looked panicked, then our eyes met and she came running towards me and requested, she looked tensed, exhausted and scared, i had some water i gave it to her and as she was drinking it she looked at me and said "you're perfect" and had a reliving face.

As she said that I was shocked and asked her what happened she told me that she a 28f and her parents are forcing her to get married and today when some of there relatives and cousins came to meet them all of them kept asking her the same question so she got irritated and said that she has a boyfriend, and as she said that the relatives were happy but now kept insisting that they want to see him, and as she has no guy friends she came out to look for a good and half decent guy to fake it and coincidentally I was right outside her door, so she requested me to help her.

I decided to help her after thinking for some time then we went inside her full family saw me and instantly liked me and after I told them i own my own car company in the city they accepted me more and directly started talking about marriage, when I saw things getting out of hand I took her to another room and told her that I don't want to get married I am still young and never had a gf, so she made a cute and delicate face different from the one while asking for my help and said that "marrying me won't be that bad right?", when she said that two things came to me one that dude am young don't want to get married second HOLY SHIT SHE IS HOT AF I WANNA MARRY HER.

While I was thinking about this she had gone out to the drawing room and told everyone that I accept the marriage and me still shocked, then her father came to me and told me that before the marriage there is a ritual where in the soon to be couple have to bathe together (don't mean to offend anyone this is my dream, if there is actually a ritual like this and i offended anyone I am sorry), so seeing everyones eager faces i accepted.

As we both entered the shower room and I closed the door while facing the door i told her that this is wrong u shouldn't lie to ur family and tell them that u don't like me. As I completed my statment she turned me around and she was only wearing her black lingerie and told me "who said I don't like u I have loved you ever since u came to meet ur grandparents two years ago I have been rejecting everyone only for you and today when I was in trouble u were in front of me u are the one I am destined with so marry me and be with me for ever" and as she said this she removed my tshirt and started kissing me and asked that happened I got up.

Dreamed alarm went off

Had very trippy dream the other day. I dreamed my alarm was going off in the morning and woke me up, like it always does. So I reached for my phone and was trying to turn off the alarm, the way I always do. But the alarm kept beeping and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get it to stop and thought something was wrong with my phone. Then I woke up and realized my actual alarm was going off in real life and that's why I couldn't get it to stop in the dream haha. I think that was the first dream I've ever had where I thought I was awake.

Why was I cheating?

(Before starting I want to clarify one thing, as I have mentioned in my dreams before I am single and have never dated anyone in my life, but still I have these types of dreams so don't judge and enjoy reading my dream.)

I am a head in a big company and now am about to have sex with my sexy employee, we both check-in into our usual hotel room, now even the Manager knows me.

We enter the room, i am wearing a suit and she throws me on the bed and then she sleeps next to me removing her clothes.

She was wearing light blue lingerie, and she was looking stunning, she was a tanned skin woman with black lucious hair and thickness in all the right places.

As she laid beside me she started removing my suit and when we got to my underwear she started massaging me down there which I could even feel throughout my body, then she asked me to remove her lingerie and she removed my underwear and when we had started to snuggle with our bare bodies i got a call from the room telephone.

I picked it up with anger chewing the hell out of the person who called, but when I heard what the other person said i got cold sweats, it was the manager telling me that it was my wife who found out through someone that I was cheating on her and now is in the hotel and coming towards my room.

As soon as he finished his sentence the door started banging and there she was screaming my name and calling out to me, I was scared to death as was the girl on my bed, she kept on screaming and as I was about to open the door I got up.

(I hope u enjoyed reading my dream and once again I don't condone cheating, and it is the worst thing u can do, but it was a dream so I can't control it, and thank you for reading 🙂)

I remember i was outside at night talking to my coworkers suddenly a huge bus comes behind me, it looked like it was going to a huge party or something i understood that cause there was bunch of people drinking cocktails dressing up and everything, all i was thinking was to get inside this bus, then i saw my best friend sneaks inside and he was telling me to hurry up the bus will go now so i followed him and the bus started moving, a moments later im feeling someone is touching me from the back hugging me so tight i turn around it s my ex ( it s not the first time i've seen her in my dreams she shows up from time to time) whenever i see her i feel this comfort that i can't feel anywhere else but with her, she looked at me and smiled and she said hi, she then hugs me tighter and doesn't let go i don't wanna let go either she then pulls me into a corner and she pushed me into a chair or a couch idk and then she puts my head inside of her dress she turns around and she leans her vagina into my face, the moment i tried to lick her off i see something weird poking out from her vagina it was like a parasite it looked like a worm a thin worm with claw shaped head, maybe they re trying to get out from the vagina or maybe they just tryna attack whatever is coming near the vagina but dont get my word twisted because i really dont know, it's a fucking parasite on my ex's vagina idk how else i can put it , i tried to take them out i kept pulling them and she s asking me what are you doing and im just telling her to wait i kept pulling and pulling until they snapped and it made a tick sound and she was like ouch what was taht , anyways the parasites was on my finger tip i kept looking at them im trynna figure out wtf was that there where 4 of em and suddenly they started making a way through my skin , i tried to pull them out from their tail but it was too late they just kept crawling and crawling inside and i can see them swimming in my veins, i panicked and then i woke up , wtf was that

The girl from my school days

If you have read my other dreams you might know my dreams are related to my non existent love life, so this dream is also related to that, so I hope you enjoy reading my dream 🙂.

In the dream I am walking down the street with my grandmother quarreling about something, as I wanted to go to the supermarket and she had to go the the park so I called a taxi for her to take her to the park and I will go walking to the supermarket, and she didn't want that, but at the end i still did that.

so when I reached the supermarket I had to buy milk so I went to the milk section, there I saw a familiar face like I had seen her somewhere, then remembered this is the girl from my school (the school here I am talking about is my school in real life and the girl also from my real life, and mind it during my school life I hardly ever talked to this girl and never had feelings for her), so I went to her and approached her and we had a little chat and at the end exchanged insta ids and contact information.

Now it's been a couple of days and I was waiting for the bus to go to my college near my house and I was listening to some music, after I feel a person next to me I turn right and see it's her and as I saw her she suddenly looked cute and I said hi, after some conversation it suddenly started raining so I recommend her my appartment is close by so we can wait some time in the lobby, so in the rain we ran towards my appartment and then we reached the lobby and sat down on one of the seats we both were wet and she looked cute as ever.

Something came over me and suddenly i felt a wood branch stick in my hand so I gave it to her saying "take this consider this as a rose from me", as I gave it to her she took it and pressed it against her heart and then bent down and kissed me and asked me to be her lover.

After that day we started dating and while dating i noticed one thing that she is controlling and very possessive (let me tell u this once if ur reading my dreams for the first time, I have never dated in my life and I am in my 20s so I don't know how a girl is in a relationship), and I also saw my self changing as from a simple student with good grades and simple life i had become a biker and i even started looking like a biker too my family was shocked to see me like this but initially i ignored them but after some time I looked at myself and thought why have I changed so much.

After sometime while riding with her I met my old friend whom I had not seen for years he saw me and talked to me and made me realise that this is not me and I have to change myself but I ignored him at that time to but his words were stuck in my head.

After a few days while driving alone from a distance I saw a bee stinging a fly so many times that the fly lost its life.

Our relationship had become one and a half year old and after a few considerations i decided to end things with her and be friends and be my old self bcoz I started hating myself, so I changed my clothes into my old ones and once when no one was at my home i called her to talk to her, as soon as she saw me and came inside i could see her face and understand that she knew what's going to happen and once we sat down and i started telling her everything she started crying.

I couldn't see her cry so i went to comfort her and when I was gonna say that we should breakup she shut my lips up, threw me back at the sofa and started kissing me and when I resisted she became more into it and after that I gave in ( and mind it in the dream we were "doing it" for the first time since our relationship started), while we were doing it she told me that she wants to marry me and in it I said yes but after saying that, the vision of the bee killing the fly came infront of me, after that I got up.

Thank you for reading my dream, and i have a question why did I have that vision while doing it with her?

I've been seeing Satan angry at me fighting in my dreams

I'm an atheist so I don't really believe in satan or god. But this is the first time I've been seeing a dream with same theme continuously in my life. Idk if it has a spiritual or mental meaning.

In my dreams he's somewhere in the room shouting and flying objects around me. The dreams don't have a logical order, It's just a bunch of shouting and chaos

Why do I love my dreams more than real life??

It seems I am more fond of being in my deep dreams rather than real life. My life hasn’t had any great experiences only but a hand full however, any time I dream it feels so real and so good like this is how I should be living my life not like I am in my real life. Everything seems right about it and I can go right back to sleep and continue the same dream and I’m in paradise when I do. Super fantastic feeling when I’m on adventures in my dream or getting the women I want and walking and talking amazing like I remember being proud of myself in my dreams.I handle it all so calmly ,and something starts going wrong in my dream I immediately handle the situation.If I don’t I just wake up and change dreams but that hasn’t happened in my while. Lately in my dreams I’m at the best area ever with the greatest people that I am aware of some I know they are my best friends or family and some are strangers but very cool people. I go on endless adventures and it is so great. I then wake up like kinda bummed I’m not in the reality in my dreams m. I don’t know if I it’s a sign that I could be living this way and feeling this way everyday but what am I missing?????Its bittersweet knowing I can be happy in that universe ,I even remember saying , if this such universe exist I hope that me keeps going with it and has a blast and I will work harder towards my goals and dreams until I feel the way my counterpart “dream” me is able to feel..

Sex with a teacher

I dreamed of a teacher at school. Note that this is adult education. He is a year older than me. In reality, he often flirts with me in class and frequently makes sexually suggestive comments. It is a kind of teasing. Sometimes I feel like he is trying to impress me, but I don't always know if this is serious, so I don't think about it too much. I have been single for years as a conscious choice. He knows that I am free; he is free too.

In my dream, sex came unexpectedly, and this is not the first time. I was in a dark room and had to feel my way through. Suddenly, I felt a body, his body. He was wearing clothes, but his penis was hanging out of his pants, which startled me. He told me not to be scared, and eventually, I gave him a blowjob. Somehow, he had the upper hand and was in charge, and he said that he would have anal sex with me afterward. This happened in my bathroom, in a well-lit room, and I saw myself from a distance. He also made mean comments. What could this mean? It scares me too.

Does anyone else have dreams where they’re struggling to stay awake?

This happens to me a lot actually. I’ll be dreaming and in my dream, I’ll be losing consciousness. Sometimes, it feels like I’m just really drunk and disoriented, other times I’m tired, I’ve even had a time where I went into “shock” from what was happening in my dream and “blacked out”. But ultimately, they’re all the same feeling of losing consciousness while dreaming. Does anyone else experience this? It’s one of the strangest things I experience while dreaming

I’ve Been Dreaming About a Place for 6 Years… Then I Accidentally Found It IRL

I’ve had this recurring dream on and off for probably the last 5–6 years.

It’s always the same type of place: an outdoor entertainment/shopping area at night with bright lights, open walkways, restaurants, staircases, palm trees, neon signs, people everywhere, etc. In the dreams I’m usually running around this place trying to get somewhere, and the layout always feels weirdly familiar and specific.

A few days ago, my family and I were on our way to Disneyland when we passed by this outdoor area near the parks. I remember looking over at it and immediately getting this insane feeling of familiarity. Like… “why do I know this place?”

I had never been there before, so it threw me off instantly.

The more I looked at the outside of it, the more unsettled I got because I suddenly realized: this is the place from my dreams.

When I got a chance, I looked it up on Google and found out it was Anaheim GardenWalk. Then I started scrolling through pictures of it online and my stomach genuinely dropped because it matched the place I’ve been dreaming about for YEARS.

Same vibe. Same layout. Same atmosphere.

What freaks me out is that I had never knowingly seen this place before in my life. I’ve never walked through it, never visited it, nothing. Yet somehow it’s been showing up repeatedly in my dreams for years.

Has anyone else ever experienced this? Dreaming about a specific real location long before actually discovering it existed?

I genuinely can’t stop thinking about it.
