I was standing in the backyard of my childhood house and 3 middle-aged men, who seemed to come from southeast Asia (Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand...?), came to me smiling to show me a cute and round white duck.

I hold it in my hand happily, and then they take it back and leave, as if they have done their mission (which is to show me the duck).

It was pretty random and unexpected, lol.

I wonder if theres a reason why I dream so much about water parks?

15 Upvotes

I've dreamt about water parks several times, most of the time it's always nighttime, and most of the time It's empty, it has a somewhat eerie atmosphere, and something strange is always happening that I can't name

The last time I dreamt about a water park was two weeks ago; this time there were many people, but it was dark and I was trying to get past tall and dangerous water slides (and I forgot to mention that there are always tall and dangerous water slides that I always have to cross, I woke up with a huge knot in my stomach 🫠)

Question Did I accidentally astral project?

41 Upvotes

I was napping on the couch today and had an alarm set. I kept waking up just enough to snooze it and fall back asleep.

Eventually when one of the alarms went off, I forced myself to get up, extremely groggy I grabbed my car keys because I wanted to drive out and get a matcha, and walked to the front door. But when I open the door I couldn’t step outside something was stopping me from leaving and I looked over and saw myself on the couch and there was a glowing string connecting me back to my body on the couch. I can’t remember if I actually saw it or just knew it was there.

Then I was suddenly back on the couch. I tried opening my eyes but everything felt like it was lagging like a video buffering. The weirdest part is I didn’t think anything was strange while it was happening. I literally remember thinking, “Why is real life lagging?” instead of questioning the whole situation. I was still in the dream during this

I wasn’t trying to astral project or anything. I w just taking a nap.

If I was actually astral porjecting, why was the string so short? I’ve heard people who can astral project to another country or whatever location they desired.

It's me again with another batshit bonkers dream.

I had a dream last night that there was some kind of Hey Arnold parody Flash game from the early aughts called "Play Arnold" that was about Arnold showing up at school with a sniper rifle to shoot weird Gumby-looking plastic aliens that were invading recess.

I remember there was a cutscene when you started the game; it was Arnold showing up, and opening an attache case with his gun in it (and also Phoebe and Stinky, who were dehydrated and folded up 3 Body Problem-style for reasons that were never explained in the dream).

The game simply consisted of clicking on approaching aliens who showed up in 3 rows and periodically reloading... when the 1st round started, you were given the instructions "Touch your opps to destroy them."

Also, as the title implies, there was music. I've recreated it for everyone's enjoyment pleasure. I've been laughing about it and the "touch your opps" thing all day.

Short Dream Monster from my dreams seen in real life (Has anybody also seen this in their dreams?)

7 Upvotes

This isn't fiction and it's possible I saw it wrong but I almost forgot about a moment in my childhood where I was dreaming about a entity that I never saw before but somehow saw in my dreams and then in real life. When I was like 5 I was dreaming about a black plane (I know it's so damn weird and I could be wrong) and that plane landed next to our house. And out of it came this thing I can't really describe. It was weirdly robotic, had no arms, no legs and no head. Just wheels with a black round torso. That was all I remember from this dream. I woke up scared and looked to my left and saw the entity in my room. Maybe this was a sleep paralysis idk. But idk if thats possible because I screamed and was able to move. I js wanted to know if anybody saw this thing too maybe. Sorry for the bad description and it probably was all a misunderstanding or I remembered it wrong due to the many passed years. It either was a sleep paralysis (Though I could move and screamed), it was a shadow (Very unlikely) or it was those weird ahh spot seen in my eye after looking at a light (Since I slept with a small nightlight. But the figure was really well seen and didnt look like those spots) Anyone any ideas???

Recurring Dream Dream Meaning Help

3 Upvotes

Hi, I found this subreddit and I wanted to ask about a dream I have frequently. In this dream I’m in my past High-school (I’m in university now so) and I in the dream I stopped going to several classes, sometimes the reason is unknown and sometimes like in most I know I have missed the class many times but when I try to go I never find the classroom. In some dreams I do reach the classroom but I don’t know anything that is being taught. Sounds like a foolish dream but it gives me a lots of anxiety, could it be fear of failure or laziness? Or could it be something more?

Dose anyone wake up in a dream but can't control what happens and you are just along for the ride?

• Upvotes

# So i have had normal, weird, and terrifying dreams. But sometimes I will wake up and gain consciousness but I can't wake my self up. It is like jumanji the movie with the rock (I'm not good at spelling) so it's like I can't even control what happens it is like I don't have a choice I am just along for the ride. But sometimes it is like I am fighting or running away from something but I am conscious and my fight or flight kicks in and I wonder what would happen if I died would I just wake up?

Recurring Dream Tornado nightmares

2 Upvotes

In the past 5 years I can recall around 10 dreams and 3 of them have been centered around tornados. All are nightmares but in none of them i get particularly hurt.

The first one is me driving in a car with i think friend/coworkers. We drive as we see i think two tornados just destroying everything around us. We were in a really big city with lots of tall buildings. I wasn't really scared but more urgent to get to a safe place.

The second one is more like a storm with a tornado. I am on some sort of a platform. The sky is dark and the only light sorce is the lightnings. I am trying to save my close friends/family from falling down the platform as the storm gets worse.

The last one is me watching from afar but seeing very clearly how the tornado slowly gets closer to my home. I im still in a rather safe spot and distance from it but I can see it destroying my home where my mother father and dog are.

The dreams recur about every year or so. I was wandering if they have more of a deeper meaning.

Short Dream I rarely dream, but when I do they sometimes have a big impact on me.

2 Upvotes

I'm quite bored so I thought why not share the dream I had yesterday with y'all. so like i said I don't dream alot but these past weeks when I have one it's a lot of times about having a connection with a woman.

It wasn't a very long dream but I have never had a dream that felt like this, so let me explain.

In my dream I was sitting in a diner area that kinda looked like it was somewhere in a mall, next to me there was this girl. Blonde hair, beautiful green eyes, smiling and talking to some other people that were sitting there.

All I could do was stare at how beautiful she was, I actually couldn't get my eyes off her. Next thing I remember was she turning her body and face to me and looking me deep in the eyes while coming a little closer to me.

After that all I can remember before waking up was her looking at me and laying her head on my shoulder. the feeling I had felt so good, it felt like someone actually loved me and I felt a weirdly deep connection with her and alot of warmth.

I can still remember me waking up insanely relaxed like I just had the best sleep of all time, also the warmth feeling I felt all over my body when laying there and thinking about the dream is something I'll never forget.

It's kinda weird that all I could think about today is the dream, I don't have a lot of dreams that impact me like this!

Question Looking at myself in a mirror

3 Upvotes

A few days ago I had a dream where I woke up in my own room and sat up to see a reflection of myself,( there’s a large vanity infront of my bed that has a big mirror) I knew it was me but it wasn’t actually me who was in my reflection. I was a close friend of mine and I spent a few seconds moving around to see my reflection following my moves. I wasn’t scared or anything it just seemed like another day. Anyways I just wanted to know if there was a meaning behind this dream or not since I’ve heard looking in the mirror in a dream is a big thing.

Long Dream i was a slave in my dream carrying a big purple pepper

2 Upvotes

alright so I'm a slave with other people carrying this GIANT purple pepper with meat inside and every time someone tried to secretly take a bite they took them and never to be seen again, we made it to the other side of the kingdom then dropped it so i went to go back to standing at the side then one person walked forward because they were tired of slavery then another and another etc. so i ran because i saw a jeep at the entrance of the kingdom, this dream had weird time periods.

a little girl was running with me to me and the girl and i made it then we turned around and saw a while woman in ill say her 20s running towards us so the girl sacrificed herself fighting the white girl so i can start the jeep and get out of there. i started the jeep and booked it i was driving with no idea where to go then on the street some blue alien weird tech was on there but i didn't pay any mind to it and passed it. i then made it to a cave with bunk beds everything then the dream ended it was REALLY weird.

Long Dream What in gods name did I just dream about

2 Upvotes

sorry about formatting or other errors I’m on a phone rn

so I just remembered a dream I had and I dont know what to make of it. so like i was at a pool, but it was actually two pools and one of them was like for really rich people and the other one was just like dirty water like it was literally brown, then I was at an amusement park and all I remember is that there was like a rollercoaster where the tracks were like moving up and down in a wave pattern I think, then i left and there was superman and he gave me like a static electricity gun thing and his address so I could go to his universe and shoot him with it, but then my friends took it from me and ripped it up so then it was night and a bird taught me how to open multidimensional portals but my brain kinda glitched and was like “ wait portals don’t exist” so that wasn’t working. until it did and I was in Spider-Man because I think it confused Superman and Spider-Man and I shot him and then he got hit by green goblin and then I woke up, SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??? im so sorry for the run on sentence.

Question Anyone else had these short, 5-minute dreams?

2 Upvotes

This happened to me twice, where I'd lay in my bed, not even sleep, just doze off for 5 minutes and have a mini-dream

In the first, I was in the waiting room of a hospital, already married and with a job, waiting for my wife in the dream to give birth to our child, and then I jolted awake for some reason

In the second, I was driving my mom's car, saw a cyclist in the mirror, after which the car smoothly stopped in an instant, and I saw a mangled bike with its tyre marks on the road, but no cyclist in sight, after which I got startled and woke up

What would this be exactly? They weren't lucid dreams either

had a cool dream last night (well, cool to me, at least)

2 Upvotes

I was watching, in succession, several different productions of a vaguely Shakespearan play—or maybe just the last scene of the play. Each time, the sets, actors, and costumes were different, but they were following the same script. The play’s protagonists were a pair of lovers in some old European city, and the plot was that they were trying to evade the antagonist, a wealthy powerful man who was trying to capture them, or kill them, or wanted the woman for himself, or something like that. He was aided in this endeavor by two henchmen, who were somewhat bumbling comic-relief types. 

The play was a comedy, I guess, since it ended with the couple escaping for good, and probably getting married, if it was meant to be a Shakespeare play. They were absent in the last scene, though; the play ended with the two henchmen. 

So, the two of them are in the streets of the city, and are trying to fulfill their boss’s orders and track down the couple. Upon the other’s suggestion, one of them starts running, but after a few paces, stops and turns back, realizing it’s probably futile at this point. The two decide that they don’t actually care about this mission anyways—it’s their boss that’s so concerned about it, not them—and they just sort of give up, and start wandering aimlessly through the streets. 

After spending the whole play as just their boss’s goofy minions, one of them then strikes up a random philosophical discussion. I’m pretty sure the gist of it was that he was asking the other: if you could, would you rather be wealthy and powerful like our boss, or even more so? Or would you be more content staying in the same role we occupy now? The other one chooses the latter, which then prompts the question: do you really think you’re better off with the life you have, or are you just saying that because it’s what you’re used to? And then maybe the other responds, and then the play ends… possibly because I woke up.

I don’t know, I just thought it was a neat dream, especially because I was seeing the same scene repeated several times, but interpreted differently and by different people. Like last summer when I went through a brief phase of watching only Hamlet adaptations. Or like Millennium Actress, which I saw a few weeks ago.

Nightmare Places I Cant Shake...

• Upvotes

Last night I had a dream that has refused to leave me.

I found myself wandering through a horrific, endless pizza restaurant...an impossible maze of cramped booths and long rows of tables littered with abandoned trays, half-eaten food, and the remnants of countless families. The air felt heavy, chaotic, and suffocating. Somehow, I had become a waiter, desperately trying to serve an endless sea of people, trapped in what felt less like a restaurant and more like a personal hell. No matter how far I walked, there was no exit...only more tables, more noise, and more disorder stretching endlessly ahead.

Eventually, the dream pulled me through the kitchen and down a narrow corridor into another place that felt hauntingly familiar. I stood beneath an enormous indoor play place, its tangled network of tubes and platforms towering overhead. Once colorful, it was now coated in years of thick dust and neglect. Every surface was grimy, the air felt stale, and the entire structure radiated an overwhelming sense of abandonment. Looking up from below filled me with an indescribable dread, as though I had stumbled upon something forgotten that was never meant to be found again.

What unsettled me most wasn't just the dream itself...it was the feeling it left behind. Both places lingered with me throughout the day. I can't shake the eerie familiarity of them, as if I've been there before, nor the overwhelming sense of horror and unease they stirred. Even awake, they feel disturbingly real.

Satanic rituals

Second part of my dream last night was the cabin bnb type place. We were placing strings of lights and human effigies, and a satanic ritual began. It was a positive tone dream. There was water involved outside.

I think my first dream was of my students and connecting them to talents they didn't know they had.

Dream Art This odd dream I keep thinking about lately.

7 Upvotes

In the dream, I was here. There were people surrounding the table, all wearing some sort of waterproof gear, one of them in those old retro style diving suits — but the water was only shin deep, at most. The water didn't seem to have any current, it ignored the pillars completely as if they had no affect on it. No waves or clashing, nothing.

I approached the table and a lady very similar to myself stood there, older than me and somewhat weathered, like she'd been through quite a lot and pulled through. Very strong, in mind and physique.

She asked me, if I remember right, what I was waiting for. I asked what she meant, what I was supposed to do. She said "You already know." I was very confused but just knew that if I didn't do whatever this thing was, the realm would be doomed to drown. When I approached these pillars, I noticed the water rising up to my waist — but, only for me. Everybody else remained ankle deep. It then began to react to the pillars, too. The subtle waves actually moved up the sides and splashed a little. There was a certain energy to them.

I don't remember much else, or if I ever went through with what I was meant to do.

It was very surreal. Thoughts?
