Had a dream that I was younger again in school

Found out my cousins were vampires they tried to keep it from me but I found out

And we're not happy they tried to unalive me

so in my dreams I don't know even if I should say this my grandfather who's not even alive, I saw he m*lested me I was so panicked, I even told my sister in dreams she was mocking me for that and said I am lying grandfather can't do this, I woke up after that but still I was anxious

I don't sleep like i used to .I have bad dreams /sometimes these premonitions it has taken away the positive outlook that I used to have .it has largely impacted my sleep quality and mental peace ,these night mare/bad dreams are often related to my dad or past love relationships /unfinished stuff that i do not have any control over ,temples/ isolated places /strange interaction/betrayal ,accidents etc ,i feel drained ...I am sure some part of it could be psychological but I feel there is more to it like a spiritual/ or other worldly aspect to it too.

8/19- dreamed my wife had had a minor stomach and another form of cancer maybe arm but she had been cured. I said that to my family as they visited our house. I was saying how I had always suspected that and that’s why I had wanted her scanned. Later she went back and showered and walked out naked in front of my family after showering, I saw my dad look at her completely naked. We went back in the bedroom and I was mad, she claimed she was used to walking around the house naked and forgot anyone was here. I was thinking that was bullshit because we have guests and she doesn’t do that around them ever. Later we were all having dinner and I was mad still, I decided to pray a super long Catholic prayer for the meal where I was saying ‘for the Gospel of Matthew we thank Saint Matthew, etc etc. for the Gospel of Luke we thank Saint Luke’. I could tell the kids were getting restless and just wanted to eat but I kept on going 

some people believe that dreams can be warnings and so on, last night during my dream i was in a field, a random field and this massive snake came up to me and it was talking about my boyfriend and it was saying that i won’t love myself if im with him? and then it started attacking me? can someone please explain what this means or if you have any ideas on what it could mean that would be very helpful!

Who from my earliest memories to about maybe 4th grade I had the same nightmare. I’ve had others but nothing that could effect me even hours after waking and even if I was awake and the nightmare would pop into my head it would instantly give me the worst anxiety in my stomach and sometimes anxiety attacks. And I can vividly remember what would happen every time.

The dream goes like this:

I’m alone in a dark room with a single spot light on me. The light would go maybe just a bit past my arm lengths. So not very big.
Around me pitch black but the darkness is FULL of people. The ones closest to the light you could only see the animal eye shine of their pupils already unsettling right.
The whispers are never distinguishable, but I know it was never anything nice. I could feel the malice radiating off them.
And the light area would keep getting smaller as my panic would rise.
No please note that at this point in the dream i had no idea it was a dream until I was about 3rd grade then I would recognize that it was a dream and not be able to wake up. I remember hysterically screaming to wake up, wake up, wake up! (I could wake up from all other nightmares) a few dreams I would hear someone behind me whisper “you can’t” and that’s when I guess my fight or flight would kick in and I would wake screaming and crying.

I guess you could consider it night terrors I’m not sure. I was never able to get help as a child for them cause “everyone has nightmares you need to grow up” by my mother.

Any ideas what it could symbolize or if even it was night terrors. I’ve never heard anything about recurring nightmares for years.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far. And thanks for any ideas or insights

Last night, I had a strange dream. I was sleeping in my bed when I felt someone gently touching my waist and slowly pulling me closer to him. Then he started softly kissing my neck.
Even in the dream, I was somehow conscious that I was dreaming. I knew I was sleeping alone, so at first I became scared and thought it might be some kind of demonic dream. At the same time, part of me was hoping that the person was the guy I’m in love with.(we couldnt be together in real life)

But I couldn’t clearly see or remember his face, but I remember him smiling softly while kissing me and his smile is similar to the one I'm in love. I tried to kiss him back, but I was still scared and confused.
I thought it a dream at least kiss him so I just pulled him close to kiss him but I woke up

What came suddenly is this because I have been thinking more about them lately?

Hey everyone!
I always wanted some insight into this dream Maybe you all can help ?
See when I was about five or six I had this recurring dream where I was sitting outside an ice-skating rink. In the dream, I was just standing there while watching a girl with blonde hair, light skin wearing a pink suit what seem to be a full-blown ballerina outfit ice-skating, and performing some beautiful movements on the ice. I would love watching her…
it would bring me peace. What’s crazy is that I was a little kid living in Guatemala. To my recollection, I had no knowledge of what ice-skating was, what an ice-skating rink would look like specially what the outside of the rink would look like.
It wasn’t until my pre-teen years that I had a full understanding of what I was looking at but by then the dream became less frequent and I was sad. Like I longed for the sight of that Ice skater… well I got to see her one more time… and for the last time. So when I was around 11 in Guatemala there was a huge mosquito outbreak and Dengue fever was spreading everywhere. It eventually got to my village and guess who got that? Yeah you know it, THIS GUY.
At first It was your usual fever, cold sweats, shivering and aching muscles but when it got to its peak is when I got my reunion. Before I lost consciousness I hallucinated dark hands coming out of the corners and edges of the walls and the room gradually became darker and darker and then I saw her.
This time though I was like 15 feet away from the edge of the ice rink… so I try taking a step to approach her. And I hear odd noises that would get louder the harder I tried but Im stubborn so I kept pushing and the noise got louder and louder and then it stopped. Right then a giant tarantula like spider jumped in front of me got close to my face and yelled “¡NO!” “¡NO!” “¡MIA!” “¡ELLA ES MIA!” (no, no, mine! She is mine!)

When I tell you I literally pissed myself. It’s not an exaggeration when I say the size of that thing was gargantuan face the size of the front of a bus, I could see the hairs on its face and it’s giant slimy fangs and the shine of its two middle eyes because that bastard was too close for me to see it’s other eyes… I woke up after that but I was still sick so I woke up to shadows and spiders crawling all over the walls yelling deliriously the shadows and the spiders! They’re here!
I might be being a bit dramatic but I genuinely believe I was as close to death as I ever was… thankfully (spoiler alert) I survived and made a full recovery within days.. things lead me to the USA where Ive lived here for as a citizen for 18 years and a veteran for those wondering 🙄

Well anyway that’s my recurrent dream. I still miss watching her from the sidelines I wish I could remember her face
What do you all think it means?

It’s more of a recurring people in my dream.

Let me start by saying these people are the literal scum of the earth to me.

One is my ex. And he was incredibly abusive, AND paranoid on top of that. He would be convinced I was talking to someone through the floor in the bathroom (it was my speaker playing YouTube videos) and then began to beat my ass right there naked in the shower. That’s only one instance of the physical abuse, not to mention the violent sexual assaults he would commit towards me. I literally ran away during the middle of the night to a completely different city over a hour and a half away and was STILL scared he’d find me. For a while he would use spoof numbers and social media accounts to stalk me for quite a while.

And the other is my biological mother, she was a classic narcissist in every sense of the word. She is the queen of manipulation, deminishing your reality (ie i remember [insert traumatic situation], and she hits you with the I never said that, the I don’t remember that, or worse the I’m sorry if YOU felt that way), and dog whistling. Just to name a few.

All that to say in short how incredibly traumatic it was when I was with my ex and afterwards. And how normal I thought it was for years the relationship with my mother and the constant walking on egg shells.

What I’m curious about is WHY THE FUCK DO I KEEP HAVING THEM SHOW UP IN MY DREAMS?!?!?!

It’s mostly my ex. And the dreams are usually either we’re together and he’s the polar opposite to how he was, so he’d be loving and kind and shit.
OOOORRRR
I’ll dream that I’m going around my old small town and can actually feel the anxiety of running into him, most of the time I do and it’s never a good thing and I usually wake up crying or swinging even!

And I swear to go I have active NIGHTMARES about having to live back with my mother or still living with my mother. (Don’t ask me but sometimes she’ll even sexual harass/assault me, I truly don’t know what that’s about)

I’m in a very happy relationship now in a safe home environment and we even have a child together. Never abusive or cruel, I mean he can be annoying sometimes but that’s neither here nor there.

If you read all this thank you for your time. And thanks for any suggestions of why or possible ways to get the dreams from happening.

recently Ive had dreams about things that I shouldn’t knows about, I’ll have a weird dream then I’ll text my friend about it and she will be like “Gwen how the fuck did you know that” for example the first instance was when I had a dream this girl who doesnt like me created a fake TikTok account to dm me and to harass me. I shot awake and I was shaking thinking about this so I texted my friend about this and she told me that the person I dreamed about mentioned to her wanting to create a fake TikTok account to mess with me. The girl I dreamed about then did make a secret account that I thankfully found and blocked. the most recent dream was last night about my friend and I texted her in the morning after I woke up and she told me everything in my dream was true but she had never told me those things. The point of my post is that Im wondering how is it that I am having these dreams? How can I have them more often? Is there a more sinister underlining to this? What are other peoples experiences with this

Visons/dreams, I've had them all my life but I've kept all my gifts, experiences a secret very few select know. I'm writing this one because I am unsure what to do about it, usually I know.

A long time ago I had a dream, my future self was on a walk way bridge, my gaurdian angel was with me and he asked me what do you see, I said across from me are 3 small mountains the first had a top, second one was flat and the 3rd had a top. I told him that I saw alot of tourists, but they were not there for the mountains. Between the walk way was beautiful green grass, infact the walk way bridge was also nice, the whole place I could only see looked well kept, very pretty. I said to my Angel what is this place and he said those mountains are dormant not considered ever to be volcanoes but they will erupt and kill 100s of thousands of people I started crying and said what about all the children and he said them too. As I was crying the Angel told me they were called the 3 sisters.

Back then I tried to find a place that looked familiar and if I found it I was going to tell the volcano experts to keep an eye on them. I found nothing so I assumed it was just a dream the.

Throughout the years I often remember this dream and I sense that it could be real as I later on had many similar dreams and all true.

The person I spoke with 2 days ago suggested I post on here. But, im honestly not sure how that can help and as typing this im in two minds. I just hope that if it is to come true that ppl be saved.

Thanks for listening.

Every few days someone posts a dream here and gets a reply along the lines of "snakes represent transformation" or "water means your emotions." It's well meant ofcourse, as the beautiful people of this forum always are, and I will add that personally I think common symbol conventions do serve a purpose. But, I think the whole framing is backwards.

A fixed symbol dictionary treats a dream image like a word in a foreign language: you look it up on the web and get the translation. The problem is a dream symbol isn't a word. It's closer to a name. If I tell you my mother's name, a dictionary is useless to you, because the meaning isn't in the word, it's in the relationship. Your mountain, your childhood home, the dog that keeps turning up in your dreams three years running and you don't know why. None of that has a fixed translation per se, because none of it is an actual word. It's a name for something only you can truly know.

This is exactly why Jung was wary of universal symbol keys, even though he spent his whole career studying archetypal imagery. He wasn't contradicting himself by any means. Archetypes are real, recurring, cross-cultural patterns, but they show up dressed in the specific, personal material of the dreamer's own life. A snake in your dream isn't "the snake" from a dictionary entry, it's your snake, wearing whatever it's wearing because of what it means to you specifically. Skip that step and you get a reading that could apply to anyone, which in practice means it applies to no one.

You can test this yourself. Take any dream you've had and look up the "meaning" of its main symbol in three different dictionaries. You'll get three different answers, none of which will feel like they're actually about your dream. Then try the opposite: pick one symbol and just sit with it. What's your own first association, before you think about what it's "supposed" to mean? Nine times out of ten the first answer that comes up is more accurate than anything a dictionary will give you, because it's the only version of the answer that's about you.

The dictionary isn't really wrong, it gives the general gist and that is useful, but its the fine details, the feeling and emotion conveyed, and the illogical nuances that the dream offers us which is the gold dust in determining what the dream means to you. 

Quiero saber que puede significar este sueño según la comunidad y porque apesar del sueño aún me sigo acordando,una vez despertar realmente (ya que como narrare a continuación desperté tres veces en ese sueño) sentí una paz profunda y un sentimiento de anotar todo lo que recordaba del sueño ya que en realidad era muy largo pero solo anoté el resumen de los elementos más importantes bueno ya sin más aclaraciones aquí va el sueño:

26/08/25

Soñé hoy que una compañera en el grupo de WhatsApp de mi curso comento que a su amiga se le perdió un objeto en el salón,era una cartuchera y cuando la encontré le devolví a mi compañera y de la nada estoy en mi casa hablando con la chica del objeto perdido por alguna razón la letra de la chica era celeste y me preguntaba de dónde salio porque no es de nuestro curso,hablamos un poco y de pronto ahora estoy en una comunidad virtual donde había gente amable que desconocía,intenté hablar con ella en un chat público y no podía, solo ella me saludó y los demás de la comunidad casi instantaneamente,también en la página descubrí que tenía minijuegos así que me preguntaba impresionado si la chica hizo la comunidad ella sola,intentaba leer su nombre pero la letra era extraña así que no podía descifrar cual era su nombre real,su apariencia era pelirroja con lentes y una voz madura luego en el sueño desperté y me dió pena porque creí que no la volvería a ver pero pasando por una calle que desconozco la logré ver y la reconocí al instante pero al ser otro sueño nos tuvimos que conocer desde 0, provocando que me tenga que integrar de nuevo a su comunidad hasta conocí a un hombre que era como un amigo de la chica o algo asi tenía el cabello del mismo color y lentes su cuarto estaba desordenado de objetos retros, videojuegos y consolas antiguas.tambien visite un templo donde había gente cubierta con mantas como si fueran monjes,de paso ahí encontré a la madre de la chica(tenía lentes y cabello negro recogido) que luego nos reunimos en privado y me advirtió que su hija era una chica inocente y dulce por eso no quería que me juntarme con ella por temor a hacerle daño le respondí que me encontraba en una situación similar con mi propia madre y reconocí que como hombre me puede faltar muchas cosas pero yo soy honesto con mis defectos y se que las madres hacen eso para proteger por eso afirme a la madre de la chica que la veía como un ejemplo de vida igual que a mi madre.luego por alguna razón desperté de nuevo y estaba con ropa de escuela y paso la hora para ir a la escuela así que salí corriendo con mi mochila y corrimos para no perder el colectivo aunque pensaba en los anteriores encuentros con la chica y pensé "Dios te lo pido...tanto sueño pero que el tercer encuentro sea mas que una confirmacion sino también en la vida real por favor" mientras seguía mi camino me encontré con un grupo de chicas pero una en especial me resultaba familiar así que le detuve y la mire fijamente hasta que me noto y dije "creo que soñé contigo es que me sonaste familiar!" Resulta que en los anteriores sueños ella apareció como una de las amigas de la chica,seguí mi camino rápido pero tenía el presentimiento que ya llame la atención del grupo de chicas y que luego me preguntarian de ese sueño aunque tenía algo claro ahora la chica el cual le puse de nombre Moly estaba en mi escuela y con solo verla la reconocería.

My wife and I have had the same recurring dream since we were children of standing on a beach and the water all gets sucked out to sea and a massive wave like a mile tall appears then it crashes on us.

Okay this is going to sound weird and understandably so.
I’ve always had weird dreams as a kid, back in my first years of middle school I started to have more vivid dreams and I knew nothing about the government, especially secret shit.
I had a dream one day of sitting at a desk, pure black and a man in front of me wearing a suit. He pointed at the numbers on a paper with the title “CIA” like a code and had me repeat them and said “If you can remember this, call this number, keep this a secret this is an experiment” and he gave me a phone number. I couldn’t remember the full number at all. I woke up and told my parents (stupidly) “I had a dream of this weird club name, cia”
So was i a fucking experiment?

So I had a dream that I was living in an apartament with a group of people that I never Saw, and they were my friends and roomates. I was sleeping and I had a window with a view with alot of buildinds looked like Calgary but I'm not sure. I know that I was so tired that I oversleep and it was 15:30pm. I was stressing and talking to my roomates. I then proceed to get up and I went into the city and I was running, and interesting how an old collegue of high school, who I don't have their socials. Was giving me support and saying that I will make it and Will accomplish my dreams. Is this a sign? Because since I was Young I always wanted to live in Canada. I used to have dreams since I was a child, not knowing if it was past lifes or a sign.

Thank you to anyone that helps!

I had a dream last night.

Dream is..

I'm living in my grandpa's house with my dad and husband. When my dad wants to step out I tell him there is a lion sitting in front of the door which is visible. And my dad stayed back as he also saw the lion.. I try to lock all the doors of the house and notice the backyard gates are open.. then go there carefully and close it as well.. sometimes there are more lions sometimes there is one. My husband wants to go to a place in the backyard.. I tell not to go.. but he refused.. he said nothing will happen.. nothing can harm something like that.. he did his job and came back.. till he returned I was scared.

This is not the first time a lion comes in my dream.. I have seen lions a lot of times..single as well as in groups..

I wonder what it actually means..

This is something I've forgotten about until this morning as I've had a dream about it again, every now and then I'll dream about killing someone, but like it's really brutal, I can feel the knife piercing them, there's blood everywhere, it's pretty gruesome, majority of these dreams i will have a knife and be stabbing them, usually in the head, throat or chest, it's not particularly people I know, just random people or random scenarios, but this specific dream I had last night disturbed me as it was a child that I killed and I got blood all over my face, it was just alot, does anyone know what this could mean? Also not sure if it's relevant but I do have frequent intrusive thoughts about harming people, or I say i'll harm people but I see it as a joke when I say it, the thoughts about it are definitely real and disturbing, just sudden invasive thoughts, if someone could share some insight that would be great as these dreams are seriously disturbing.

It feels so real when it happens. It’s hard to explain but I am going to try my best.

I The dream I am in college and I will be in class knowing that I missed around 3 previous classes. I will get quizzes on lessons that I missed. I will be freaking out because I want all A’s but keep missing classes for no reason. I’d never miss a class in my waking life so I kept trying to think of what happened. I think to myself.. no there’s no way I’d miss classes this semester must have just started. But it’s never the case.

Sometimes it was like my brain is trying to tell me this is just a dream but it feels so real. It really feels like I’m failing classes.

Then it gets worse.. in that dream I will wake up, and I’ll realize that I hadn’t missed any classes and it was just a dream and the semester hasn’t started yet. Again still not knowing I am not in college. Then I will wake up for real in my real life where I am not in college.

I haven’t been to college in 10 years. It’s so strange.
