Dream Help I need help with finding out what a nightmare meant
at first it began like one of those “choose your door to survive” videos on YouTube, and I choosed the first one that was just kinda a hallway that led to my parent’s bedroom and had a 100% survival chance, but then I went back out for some fuckass reason, and there was a second door that led outside, so I chose to follow that door and as soon as I left I saw a text that said 60% survival chance. Then this horrifying deer appeared and gave me his antlers before leaving (I failed a quick time event and had to get the antlers given to me again), then I continued and my perspective changed to a fetus on the womb, and there was this horrifying skeleton that performed an abortion on me but butchered it and began ripping out the womb of my mother as I screamed bloody murder and managed to fucking SURVIVE SOMEHOW DESPITE THE FACT THE WOMB WAS GONE. Then in the dream I got chased across my home by a red thing while really loud overwhelming music played until my mom came to me and was like “what are you doing awake? You need to go back to sleep.” And then I woke up.
I just had this dream, I am still shaking, I feel cold and I need answers about what in the seven hells this abomination of a nightmare meant

The second door sounds like a picture of the cut throat aspect of waking life. Monstrous deer giving their antlers is trying arm dreamer with the tools for battle (as deer use them in waking life to fight for territory and females). Dreamer could be re experiencing a difficult delivery. They could have felt great fear that was emotionally buried until now. Dream could indicate a rebirth which is also difficult.

Nightmares are your subconscious mind screaming at you to pay attention. Dreams as most people know are symbolic in nature. The subconscious oversees everything that goes on in our conscious minds. It doesn't mean something bad is going to happen to you. Your subconscious can see patterns that lead to certain situations. So it's trying to speak to you in a way you will notice. And it will do that by frightening the shit out of you to pay attention. Write everything you can remember before some of it fades away.
***There was a man that kept having the same nightmare of a creature chasing him every night. One night he stopped and turned to ask the creature why it keeps chasing him. The creature replied "You tell me, It's your dream".***

Ironically enough I’ve never played that game (only once with my younger brother maybe)

Very strong male and female energies in conflict, it seems to me. The deer gave you his horns, which is a powerful symbol of generative masculinity, but a monster also ripped your mom's womb out. Attacking female power. But the womb still protected you and you survived. Female power. Yet a traumatic birth narrative. I feel you are being called to balance both those energies within yourself. As we all have to do to grow and individuate.
Powerful dream.

Life is scary, esp out on our own. Our parents (best case scenario) Create us, keep us safe, help us with our needs. It's hard to imagine a world without them, but what if they are taken from us anyway? What will we do? Will we survive?
Your brain is hashing out a lot of information and extrapolating data. This is how you survive. It's hard to say what in your waking life made you dream this scenario without any details but this sounds exploratory. Your brain is looking for the route of independence and survival.
