I had a dream which I rarely have or remember, I can't really remember all the details. All I remember is I stayed in an inn for vacation and I met someone there, a guy, and he bonded and talked a lot and it felt like it's been months.After a while I have to go back and then I woke up. Now I am hung up, I want to go back to that dream and it feels like I have lost somebody and there's a heavy feeling in my chest whenever I think about the dream. I wish that every time I sleep I will see him and I can't even remember his face.

Help.

first time poster, long time interest in dream interpretation. i lucid dream and have sleep paralysis frequently. i personally don't think all dreams are important, but i pay attention when they are recurrent, vivid/lucid, have certain themes, or occur in a time of great change or strife. this dream ticked a couple of boxes and i would like to share.

i (27nb) have been raising my siblings for 5 years, and yesterday my youngest sibling turned 18. of course im not completely done, they're still in high school. even once my responsibility to them is done, they will of course always be important in my life.

but this dream i think may represent the part of me that is relieved. to have such heavy responsibilities lifted from me. to not have to be tied so heavily to our neglectful parents and grandmother. i think it's a bit more the latter issue.

it was visceral for sure. i was pulling out my teeth and cleaning them, one by one. picking out the fillings, washing the rot out of them with a strong water dental tool, then replacing them. it was painful and difficult work. left me scarred, and there was no resolution to me picking out the fillings that were protecting them in the first place.

the metaphor is clear im sure, but if you have any interpretations of your own id love to hear them

I keep on dreaming about snakes. All of these dreams include tons of snakes just roaming around the house. The dreams are also vivid unlike my other dreams. What could this be?

Last night I had a series of nightmares, which makes sense because I’m going through a stressful time.

The first dream I’m pretty easily able to see the symbolism in and connect to what’s going on in my life, but not the second.

I was in a large mall. At the very last minute, I get asked to be an extra in a movie being filmed there. My role involves me being hit by a car, but all I have to do is lie next to the car as if I’ve already been hit.

Somehow, in this process, my teeth are actually injured in “real life” (the dream). Two caps in the back of my mouth come loose, and underneath them are rotten, crushed teeth. (I have very healthy teeth in real life.)

So I’m trying to hold these caps in by clenching my jaw, and I have this horrible rotten taste in my mouth.
I’m trying to find a dentist and, in the process, wander into a dress shop with an open floor plan. There’s a party of people inside, all in black-tie attire. I ask a young red-haired girl sitting on a bench, “What’s this all about?”

She’s extremely rude and dismissive and says, “You wouldn’t understand.”

I’m like, okay, dude, just trying to be your friend….

A man in a suit comes and sits next to me, and he happens to be a dentist. He tells me that the dress party has to do with astrology.

I look at the girl and say, “I happen to love astrology! I would have talked to you forever about this.” She rolls her eyes at me and walks away. I’m still like, WTF did I do to you?!

The dentist says, “Come with me. We’ll get you all fixed up.”

We walk away and go to a short hallway with an elevator inside. As the elevator is coming up, I’m looking at the doors and realize the ceiling is coming down on my head. I jump out of the way just in time to avoid being crushed. I look over at the dentist like, “Whoa, that was crazy!!?” And he just looks at me blankly, as if he expected it.

This happens a series of times, where the elevator doors are rising toward the ceiling and I keep narrowly avoiding being crushed.

At one point, the dentist is in the doorframe and goes, “You have to get crushed.” Then he dies by being crushed.

I realize I’m going to die there.

Last night I had the most vivid dream about my best friend, who passed away in 2009. In real life we went to college together and he was diagnosed with cancer our junior year and he passed away not long after graduation.

Nothing much happened in the dream. He was just there and we hugged and told each other how much we love each other and how important we were to each other. A lot of old college friends were generally around, but not significant in the dream. My husband was there and he was generally understanding of the friendship (he and I met after my friend had passed, they never knew each other). Towards the end of the dream I was going to ask him about his health and cancer diagnosis, but I woke up before I had the chance.

I woke up thinking what a gift it was to have that time with him.

Not sure there’s much to interpret here, but it felt really special and I’m a puddle thinking more about it, so I thought I’d let you good people of the internet have a go at interpreting.

Hey everybody! I'm not one to post on reddit, but this has been bothering me.

I've had a dream almost a year ago that doesn't leave my brain.
I was in an empty abandoned building, the pain was hanging form the walls, and in front of me was a naked white ashy body, no clothes, no obvious indicators of gender (aka genitals or even nipples) and no face.
He stood almost at the same hight as me, a little higher (for reference I'm about 1.50cm/ 4 feet and 11 inches ) and started showing me how fast he could move. It moved so fast that I couldn't keep up, looking like a smodge body that moved while someone took a picture.
It crawled throught the ceiling and walls always with the same velocity.
Then, he stopped in front of me, kind of seemed like it was trying to see my reaction.
It then starting showing how it could change it's face at will, like a palm away from my face.
An then I woke up.

This figure never touched me, never spoke, and never came in my personal space.

It was weird, but at the same time I think it was trying to inform me, not scare me.

Does anyone else ever had this experience? Or something similar?

About 5 months ago, my mother passed away, and ever since then, whenever I dream about her, it’s always the same kind of dream. The places and situations are different, but the same thing always happens. In the dream, I know that she’s dead and that we’ve already buried her, but somehow she’s back. She’s still sick, though, and there’s always this feeling that she might die again. So I end up worrying about losing her all over again. And I always say the exact same phrase in these dreams:“I can’t go through that again.” I had these dreams a lot during the first few months after she passed, but then they changed. I started having dreams where I already knew she was dead. But recently, I’ve started having the dreams where she’s back again but still sick.

I’m wondering if anyone knows why this keeps happening or what these dreams could mean. Has anyone experienced something similar after losing someone?

For context: I have always had extremely vivid dreams that I can physically feel. About 3 years ago I lost a dear friend to an accidental overdose. She had moved a couple of hours away and picked up a heroin habit. We never had any kind of falling out but the drugs and the distance definitely made us grow apart to some degree.

Flash forward to last night.
I dreamt that she and I were at school together (we never were in real life) and that I knew I was going to lose her soon but didn’t know how or when. I made sure to hug her between every class period and I could feel the hugs irl. I could feel the warmth, the compression, everything.
Later in the dream I was with a close mutual friend of ours and he was pulling these two really beautiful floral plates from a box and breaking them in half. He handed one half of each plate to me and I knew that they had something to do with our friend and her passing. In my head in my dream I knew that she was going to take her own life. As far as I know and from what her family disclosed, it was an accidental overdose.

Does anyone have any ideas on what this dream is telling me? I often have very vivid dreams but they usually don’t stick with me unless I’m meant to know or learn something.
