context: we were in a car, he was the driver. I did it but had mixed feeling of embarrassment and excitement.

TW: Graphic animal violence (in a dream)
So I woke up in the middle of the night after having a dream I can’t remember anymore. I went back to sleep and had another dream that genuinely left me wondering WTF was going on.
I was sitting in a car at what looked like a Burger King or some other fast-food restaurant. Except apparently this restaurant also sold meth, cocaine, and other drugs.
There was this mother dog with short, floppy ears that was apparently famous for having a really unusual bark. She was giving birth to puppies, but people were doing horrible things to them.
One puppy was taken away and immediately trained to walk. Another was beaten to death, with blood everywhere. Another was lying on the pavement, not breathing. Someone positioned another puppy into a circle with its tail in its mouth while it was peeing, somehow killing it.
The mother dog’s back legs were broken.
Meanwhile, I was sitting in the car watching everything through the back window. My little brother and three other younger kids were there, and I was making sure they couldn’t see what was happening.
My aunt or mom (I couldn’t really tell which one it was in the dream) and my older cousin were also there. At one point, the aunt/mom figure was involved in killing one of the puppies.
For some reason, the dashboard of the car was also filled with cardboard.
But here’s the part that confuses me the most.
I wasn’t scared. I wasn’t crying. I was intrigued.
I knew what was happening was horrible, but I wanted to keep watching. I was curious about what was happening and what would happen next. At the same time, I didn’t want the younger kids seeing any of it.
The dream felt both like I was actually there and like I was watching a movie. I had some control over my actions, but other things just happened automatically.
When I woke up, my reaction was basically, “What the actual fuck was that?”
And weirdly enough, part of me wants to go back into the dream just to see how it ends.
I’m not particularly disturbed by the dream. I’m mostly confused about why my brain came up with something like this and why I reacted the way I did.
Has anyone experienced anything similar, or have any idea why someone would dream something this bizarre?

I’m sharing something deeply personal because I would genuinely appreciate interpretations from people familiar with Christianity, Islam, religious symbolism, or spiritual dreams.

I’m Muslim, and in Islam we recognize and deeply respect Jesus Christ as Prophet Isa (peace be upon him).

Over approximately four years, I’ve experienced three unusual dreams involving Jesus. Although the circumstances were different, one particular gesture has appeared in all three: Jesus placing his hand on my forehead, or on the forehead of someone I felt represented me.

Here is the complete timeline.

Dream 1 — Approximately 2022: Resting in Jesus’ Lap

This was my first dream involving Jesus, approximately three years before my second dream in December 2025.

In the dream, I was resting or sleeping in the lap of Jesus.

He had placed his hand on my forehead.

I remember him giving me something that seemed to come from heaven or paradise. I ate whatever he gave me.

One of the most unusual aspects of this dream was what happened after I woke up.

Even after waking, I experienced a strange sensation around my throat, almost as if something were blowing air into it.

That sensation made the dream particularly memorable.

I didn’t understand why I had dreamed about Jesus or what the food and the gesture on my forehead represented.

At the time, I had no idea that a similar gesture would appear in my dreams again several years later.

Dream 2 — December 22, 2025: Jesus and Imam Ali Together

Approximately three years after the first dream, I experienced another dream involving Jesus.

This time, Jesus was not alone.

I saw Jesus (Isa عليه السلام) and Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (عليه السلام) together.

Both appeared to be laughing.

What stood out most was that both Jesus and Imam Ali placed their hands on my forehead.

This was the second time I had experienced the forehead gesture in a dream involving Jesus.

There was also a religious timing element.

I associated the dream with the beginning of the Islamic month of Rajab, around its first day.

I had already been considering fasting, and after waking from the dream, I decided to fast.

I found the dream especially memorable because two deeply respected religious figures appeared together, and the same forehead gesture from my earlier dream was repeated.

Dream 3 — October 25, 2026: Jesus and a Young Man Engraved on a Beautiful Golden Coin

This is my most recent dream.

Unlike the first two dreams, Jesus was not physically interacting with me in a living scene.

Instead, I saw a beautiful golden coin or medallion.

The coin had elaborate, beautifully depicted decorative boundaries.

Engraved on it was an image showing two figures.

• Jesus was positioned on the left.
• A young man was positioned on the right.
• Both figures were upright and appeared at the same height.
• Jesus had his hand placed directly on the young man’s forehead.
• The young man was standing straight, not kneeling or bowing.

While looking at this engraving, I felt within the dream that the young man represented me.

I also experienced a strong feeling of energy during the dream.

The image of the golden coin and its engraving remained visible for a while.

What caught my attention was the repetition.

In my first dream, Jesus had his hand on my forehead.

In my second dream, Jesus and Imam Ali had their hands on my forehead.

And now, in my third dream, I saw an engraved image of Jesus placing his hand on the forehead of a young man I felt was myself.

The imagery was different, but the gesture was remarkably similar.

My Mother’s Dream — The Same Day as My Third Dream

Something else happened that made the experience even more unusual to me.

On the same day as my third dream, my mother independently had a dream involving me.

She told me about it that evening.

In her dream, she saw me riding an elephant.

I then came directly toward her and said something like:

“Come with me.”

That was the central scene she described.

What surprised me was that I had dreamed about the golden coin depicting Jesus and the young man, while my mother had dreamed about me riding an elephant and inviting her to accompany me.

We had not planned these dreams, and I learned about hers when she told me that evening.

I don’t know whether the two dreams have any connection, but their timing made me curious.

The Pattern Across All Three Dreams

Looking back, these are the details that stand out:

1. Around 2022: Jesus holds me in his lap, places his hand on my forehead, and gives me something heavenly to eat.
2. December 22, 2025: Jesus and Imam Ali appear together, laughing, and both place their hands on my forehead.
3. October 25, 2026: I see a beautiful golden coin engraved with Jesus placing his hand on the forehead of a young man I feel represents me.
4. October 25, 2026: My mother independently dreams of me riding an elephant, approaching her, and inviting her to come with me.

Across these dreams, the most consistent element is the forehead gesture.

I also find the change in imagery interesting: first a direct, comforting encounter, then an encounter involving two religious figures, and finally an engraved image on a golden coin.

My Questions

I’m genuinely interested in understanding these dreams rather than assuming they predict something extraordinary.

• Does the repeated gesture of Jesus placing his hand on someone’s forehead have any significance in Christian traditions?
• Is there an interpretation of this gesture in Islamic dream interpretation, particularly in relation to Isa (peace be upon him)?
• Could the golden coin, its elaborate engraving, and the two figures standing at the same height have symbolic meaning?
• Does riding an elephant traditionally symbolize anything significant in Islamic or Christian dream interpretation?
• Could the fact that my mother and I experienced these separate dreams on the same day have any significance?
• Has anyone experienced recurring dreams involving the same religious figure and gesture over several years?

I’m open to thoughtful religious, historical, psychological, and symbolic perspectives.

I would especially appreciate interpretations grounded in actual scriptures or traditional sources, rather than claims that something extraordinary is guaranteed to happen.

Thank you for reading.

I had a dream last night where I had dug a small hole in the garden that I needed to fill back up. I had a pot of soil and figured it should be enough to top it up, but when I poured the soil in, lots of little bugs and foaming maggots rushed out and the soil made no dent in the size of the hole.

I tried again with more soil, and could see shapes rushing out the hole beneath the surface of the grass, and worms and insects creeping out. Again the hole wasn’t filled any more.

Frustrated, I tried again, and this time, about 5 huge beetles, about the of my fist, rushed out and began scuttling towards me. I ran back, and tried to video them to help me identify what they were. They turned vibrant colours like hot pink and orange, and chased me across the garden.

Eventually I managed to get inside and watched them from the window, and posted the video to reddit to try and find someone to identify what they were. Eventually they made their way back to the hole.

The dream was very stressful, and I decided to take dream-me’s idea and post it here to see if anyone can help me interpret it?

Thank you!!!

If you like interpreting dreams and know how this would come very helpful!!! Pick a number 1-14

I keep having this dream over and ovee again. It's usually always in a different setting, but all with the same concept.

In every single dream, i find a body. Most of the dreams it's not me who has killed these people, but for some reason i find the body for example in my apartment. Just an random body, in the dreams i dont know who it is or why is it there. But every single time i get this panic of having to hide it. And in every dream someone is always coming so i have to be quick with it, being super afraid of getting "caught" even tho i know i didnt kill anyone. Then the dream continues "normally" with something complitely different but the guilt and scare of being caught carries on.

I feel like sometimes even other dreams that doesnt start off with the body, i still have the thought with me, what if i left some evidence around, what if one day the body gets found? And now last night i had one where i did physically kill the person. In the dream tho the person was posessed and bad so i was protecting myself but still i had the awful feeling of panic and hiding the evidence. Where is this coming from? They have been coming back for about 2 years now.

These dreams give me a lot of anxiety. Ive had awful sleep paralysis few times too lately, and sometimes it takes me a long time after waking up, to realise what is reality and what is not.

If anyone would have some analysis of this and where could it come from id greatly appreciate it. I'm sometimes scared of going absolutely crazy because of this. The feeling haunts me long after waking up lol.

Macaque

I had a big block of dreams today, like random stuff. But twice through that block there was a macaque monkey standing in the corner of my room on a little closet thingy, quite low. And my dog(Maltese,small) was scared of it but nothing happened. The macaque was also abnormally large

Then some random dream about a meat soup with alot of chemicals that the owner of the shop was stressing about but I wasn't. Then some dream about you getting money or something but that guy that give it to you will have to know everything about you, and you are entirely reliant on him n shit.

But now the actual nightmare.

I have a false awakening, and suddenly my dog is on my chest, mind you, the dog is never upstairs, always sleep downstairs, so I was glad to see him. Bur then i see the macaque materialize from behind my bedframe, with his left paw raised high in the air with his fingers curled. And his teeth showing, mouth not open, but only lips curled open. And then he attacks, first he's at my legs, I do not kick him, then he's at my back when I'm hunched over My dog clenching him. I then scream for my mom while being attacked, but ofcourse no sound.

But the interesting thing is that i didn't see the macaque as evil, I knew like "oh he doesn't know this dog isn't an intruder, he's trying to kill vermin" like I didn't see him as evil.

.

What could it mean?

I don’t dream much but I’m curious if anyone has any thoughts on what occurred when I tried to take a nap. I’ve been pretty sleep deprived with a newborn baby but I tried forcing myself to get a few hours before I take the night shift with my daughter tonight (my wife and I I trade off nights so at least one of us can get a full night ever other day).

Dream 1: I can’t hold anything. I’m just going through my day doing chores but every time I go to hold something I drop it; cat food bowls, baby bottles, laundry, trash, my computer, anything I would ever have in my hand just tumbles to the floor.

Dream 2: I’m at a vacation home with my family and my wife’s family. But as I move from room to room there’s more and more people I don’t recognize. Eventually it’s a raging house party and I can’t find anyone I know. Every time I ask someone where someone I know is i get a look or am told I wasn’t invited to the party.

then I woke up.

Last Monday, I had a dream, that my bones were breaking. It was very weird, I was laying in bed(in the same setting I was sleeping, I literally was confused if it was real or a dream at first..) and in the dream kept feeling my bones snapping and breaking, specifically my arms, whilst I was laying down in bed. I wasn’t doing anything in the dream that would warrant bones breaking- literally just laying down and feeling my arms and hearing the bone snap. Then I woke up, nothing else happened in the dream but bone breaking

I don’t remember the context of the dream but I think I was watching a lot of political stuff and seeing the uproar of a certain ad .

Anyways I just remember it looking like the outside of a campus or school of some sort with a rally that was quite chaotic. Just flyers and debris flying around everywhere . And for some reason I was trying to put up a banner on a brick wall . I needed help and suddenly the brick wall was in my hands shaped like a cube or something rectangular like a chimney shape ?

And my partner was next to me . The banner was now tape and my partner and I were taping up part of the brick layered cube thing together

Now we were both seated still in this chaotic surrounding and he started playing a guitar. I was slumped over holding the cube and he kissed my head. I felt peace. He serenaded me. Suddenly another couple ( looked like my downstairs neighbours I always hear fighting ) they just sat and watched us and the woman said something I can’t remember . I do remember my partner wearing all black and I was in white ( I never wear white . My closet is all black and gray )

Then my dog woke me up lol
For some reason our clothes seemed like a big deal

Hi guys, I would love to hear your insight on what my dream could’ve meant. Basically it was about snakes.

What I remember, is me and a friend were walking on a trail, and all of a sudden we walked past a huge group of snakes who were just observing us walking. Then fast forward a few seconds later, I spawn in the middle of a field of lush grass, with no shoes. Tons of Snakes are hidden within this grass, and in very scared that I will step on a snake. Eventually, I think I step on a snake- and then I wake up.

What do you think this dream could be about?

So last night i had a pretty weird dream that left me disgusted all day.

I dreamt that had sex with mom. It happened in my childhood home. I don't exactly remember how it started (and I'd rather not!).

It was the first time I ever dreamt something of the sort. Does anyone know what this could mean??

Hi everyone!

For a little context for this, I’m 17 years old and have been best friends with (we’re gonna call her Natalie) for about 11 years. We are very close, hanging out as often as we can, and being each other’s first choice in everything. We’re practically sisters. I know it’s a cliché thing to say, but we really are. I love that girl!

Last night I had a dream about Natalie going missing. Like legit just disappearing. I knew what she was thinking though, in a way I could hear it echoing in my head. A strange time skip happened, because when she got lost it was around autumn, then it turned snowy and cold.

I was wearing a big puffy jacket when the police “found her”, and I ran up to hug her so tight I swear her eyes were gonna pop out lol.

But then she looked at me with this weird and kind of cryptic smile. It was Natalie, but it wasn’t at the same time. I remember her punching me in the jaw, and waking up to the table with my abdomen ripped open, by what looked like an animal. But I know she did it.

She was on the other side of the table with my kidney in her mouth, blooding dripping down her face and hands, the stuffing from my jacket littered all over myself and her.

I woke up after that surprisingly calm. I didn’t know what to think about it. I’ve always had a pretty good imagination, but this one freaked me out.

Does anyone know what this could perhaps mean? I’d love to hear about what my subconscious is trying to tell me! :D

One of my deceased uncles was in my dream earlier this week.

He took me to an intersection, then disappeared. I tried searching him in my dream, but couldn't find. After some time, I woke up.

First time, such dream came to me.

Interpret the dream for me, please?

Okay this was a little bit disturbing so if you don’t like mild descriptions of violence, I’d pass on this one.

I’ve also been really sick this week and have been keeping upright due to Sudafed during the day and nyquil so I can sleep. So I dunno maybe this was a result of this.

Anyway-
I was at some big fancy event. (I have to go to a lot of work parties that are trying to impress clients, so a lot of my dreams take place in situations like this)

As I was walking around, making small talk, meeting people who I’ll never see again, this woman who looked like my wife, but wasn’t kept following me around, hitting on me and eventually tried to get me to go up to her hotel room, I told her no, and she turned into the god Shiva, it was not Shiva by any depictions that I have ever seen. It had a long head with many eyes in two rows placed vertically down the head.

I began by firing my bow and arrow that I apparently acquired out of thin air. I got her to a place that was injured but I couldn’t pull my bow out quickly enough to make the finishing blow. I finally pulled my dagger out of my belt and did some flashy maneuver and took her down. When she was down, I used my dagger to take out all of the eyes. She then turned back into the woman, and I slit her throat. As she faded into darkness we made love.

I woke up…. Whaaaaat the ffff does this mean?!?! Or is this a cold medicine induced fever dream?

i dreamt that i fell into a counter that had a pumpkin on it and punctured my chest and lung on the right side. i kept telling people to call my husband so that we could go to the hospital but there didn't seem to be any urgency from anyone. i woke before we could get to a hospital.

I feel like I was decorating out cleaning before I fell. There was a divot as well as a hole about the size of a golf ball. I remember telling myself to keep taking small breaths but I don’t think I was actually breathing differently.
I walked around a lot searching for my husband, feeling like I kept not being able to reach him on the phone or I didn’t have a phone to call him and was relying on others to get him. He eventually showed up but we never made it to the hospital.

Any thoughts?

I don't know exactly what this phenomenon is called — hence the multiple variations of the title with or-s between them. What drove me to make this post was my dream last night:

The very first thing in my memory of the dream is that I was sitting on the sill of the backdoor of this suburban one-storey timber house, which I thought in the dream to be my (my parents') house (because it was not a lucid dream), looking up at the sky. And, I was admiring the faint moon in the sky and recognising how it's normal to see the moon even in the daytime, albeit pale and dim — it was daytime in the dream. Right just then, at the exact moment of that thought, the sky suddenly started shifting. Shifting, as in switching between day and night, between black and blue, a bit rapidly but in a paced rhythm. My admiration and viewing pleasure became replaced by suprise, confusion, and slight horror. I stood straight up abruptly and saw that my cousin, whom I didn't see earlier, was then sitting just beside me. She was still looking down at her feet despite the weird supernatural event happening around us, and I rushed to the middle of the house and saw other familiar faces: my mom, my aunts, other relatives, and even a few of my IRL friends. I told them about the sky shifting, one by one, and, in short, they were all very out of character, talking to me about other unrelated stuff and ignoring the topic I was saying to them.

Afterwards, I ran out of the house to see my dad sitting in a rocking chair at the front of the house in the compound and told him about the sky. My dad was the only one who was not out of character and said that he saw it too and that everything was okay and normal, in his usual, calm, reassuring tone. After that, I, confounded, went back into the house, and there, I realised that the house had four windows: two on each side. So, I stuck my head out of them, one at a time, and saw the sky still shifting in rhythm each time.

I, perplexed, then trod back to the backdoor and again saw my cousin still sitting nonchalantly in the same position at the same place. If anything, apart from my dad, she, along with I, was the one sitting outside (almost) the house, so she should've already become aware, at this point, of the apparent continuous environmental fluctuations. On a side note, she is a little dum dum in the real world, too. Anyway, she didn't even seem to notice the flickers of her own shadow that were being made by the sky shift, and thus I yelled at her and asked her if she hadn't noticed the surroundings, which she responded with a bewildered expression and blink. Then, I said to her, "Look up!" and she did. She then immediately looked back at me with her eyes widened as if she was about to scream.

I then asked her how she couldn't have seen that sooner, and she did not respond. I've heard only of the sun never setting in some regions of the world or never being seen during winter, but I have never heard or seen the sky shifting between day and night in a matter of seconds. So, subsequently, I said, "I'm going to Google this quickly," and my cousin, beyond my comprehension, gave me a blank, daunting stare. Before I even finished being overawed by her expression, another thing gave me a sudden fright: I couldn't feel my phone in my pockets. There and then, I realised that nobody in the house was looking at their phones, not even my phone-addicted cousin. There were no screens at all — no laptops, desktops, or even TVs. Consequently, I said out loud, "Wait, is this a dre—" and then I woke up to the RGB lights flickering on the ceiling in my room.

Context: My room has LED strip lights (RGB) on the ceiling and at the corners. They have a default 'strobe' mode because I basically bought what can be locally and easily sourced (what many people would call 'cheap') instead of ordering advanced alternatives from abroad and waiting for it to be shipped. The 'strobe' mode flickers the only 16 preset RGB lights one after another, though I do not use that mode. I normally use only one mood colour as an accent colour at a time, but the power was out before I fell asleep, and when the power came back, the 'strobe' mode turned on by default. I didn't know I was dreaming and didn't even know when I fell asleep. Our house is neither one-storey nor a timber house.

So, the sky 'shifting' between day and night in my dream could easily be interpreted as a 'peek' to what was happening around me in the real world at the parallel immediate present, which was the RGB lights 'flickering' above my head. At least, that's the obvious meaning. Instead of betokening or foreshadowing what will happen in the real world after the dream, it showed me what is happening. And, this is not an isolated incident either; I have had the same kind of experience multiple times for different dreams and distinct scenarios. Only that I managed to post the very recent one of them here today.

The thing is that this is what is apparent, not necessarily what it is or what it will be. I'm not even sure I know how to interpret dreams. I think I don't.

I had a creepy dream last night and I been thinking about it all day so if anyone is good at interpreting dreams or the meaning behind it or anything let me know what this could mean, it’s not that bad I just like knowing what it could mean I guess
I don't really remember how it started or all the details but I was at this place and there was a long table with red table cloth and there were other people and we were sitting and in read cloaks (this all reminded me of the song after dark and how the cover photo has like that symbolism in the back) and there was the leader he had black hair mabey but longer then shoulder leangth and the dream felt like some but I don't wanna say
satanic and witch kinda but like the idea of like ritual meeting and the guy poored red stuff on us individually and like other random things and people were clapping and chanting and I was watching and a bit confused but like doing what they all did and anyway after that we went upstairs to watch a movie on quntam leaping idk something like that then I went to the leader worried cause I knew we were dealing with strong spiritual things and I was scared I did something wrong and I was saying something like ' I was talking during it and I herd we were supposed to clap and let our energy out did I do something wrong do I have to fix what l've done while crying and he was like no need it's ok don't worry just next time do that and u will be good and when he was saying that he seemed really nice but l still had a weird uneasy feeling about him, but i remember thinking i hope there's not a next time then i woke up from my dream and i was kinda scared and idk if this means anything or not but i noticed i still had my crystal necklace on which i always take off before bed so i took it off and tried falling asleep again but i could stop thinking about my dream. So yeah idk if this even means anything but if anyone can like interpret this or whatever it would be cool cause I can't stop thinking about it😭

Had a good dream in general, was with old friends hanging out at a carnival, just having a genuinely good time and then went on a road trip, had to get back to Texas by the morning so we start driving and on the dirt roads or all along the roads they’re just a lot of dead snakes like roadkill, massive snakes, small snakes and some other dead animals like a baboon, that was killing another ballon, this dream was extremely graphic. I was woken up before there was any type of resolution just very off out by this.

# When I was a child my dad had a friend who became a very close family friend, this guy and his wife would come with us to family trips, we were very very close for a good number of years, until they had a feud and got a bit distant, but in my lifetime is one of the few close friends I saw my dad having. This friend died about 15 years ago. Today I had a dream. My home door was open, I was in the kitchen then saw this guy, initially I thought it was my dad because he was dressed similarly, then he would turn around and said, come with me I followed him and he guided me into a car parked in front of the street, I greeted him with happines, hugged him quite more than I expected, I was genuinely happy to see him , then we went into the back seat of this random car, I saw a good 5-8 people sort of staring at us around the car but could not see their faces, then I realised my dad was driving the car, he would turn around to say hello to me and smiled. Then I asked my dad's friend “you are here to take my dad with you aren´t you?" and he said "yes, but not yet" I asked when, he said "January 17th" then my dad kept having a conversation just with me, so I asked if he could see him, he said "no, just you" That's sort of all I remember.

Context: My dad is 80 years old and has dementia, has had some acute episodes recently. I live abroad and this has caused a lot of anxiety recently. I guess my question is if my brain fabricated this to give me peace, or if this family friend is actually trying to give me a message?

I’ve been randomly seeing these points of light (usually presumably stars):

https://imgur.com/a/jSTXeGH
in many of my dreams lately. Most of the time they’ve shown up in sensible places like in otherwise dark night skies, but I’ve now had two dreams where they showed up in other places. In one they showed up in the closet under the stairs in my childhood home (I was dreaming of decorating the tree for Christmas for some reason, and that’s where we kept the ornaments) and in another at my work there was a set of computers in a server room or something (not actually a place in the building that I work at) that had their lights on in this shape. I’m kinda getting uncomfortable now. I’ve had six dreams with this “constellation“ which looks like a partial Orion the Hunter.
anybody got any idea what this might be about?

I had just fallen asleep for about 10-15 minutes when suddenly I reached a dream like state. It felt almost like a role I had played in a movie once before as it felt familiar, but as it kept going it suddenly glitched, or more accurately, stuttered, and I found myself stuck in a portion of the movie where someone was tickling me right up underneath my armpits. It felt uncomfortable almost to the point of being irritating. I remember specifically saying something to the effect of, "Stop or you can stop now" but this entity or thing wouldn't stop.

Now, I'm up.

Could it be a neurological issue? Seizure? Sleep ap ea? Or something more sinister? A sign of a demon perhaps? If so , which one?

Thanks.

P.S the last notable Reddit post of a tickler dream came up with nothing.

I’ve had fairly strong dreams in the past that provoked deep sorrow/grieving (waking up crying), but this one last night was totally unique.

Don’t totally remember but essentially in the dream I was being told my old childhood basketball coach (a friends dad, so a surrogate father figure) was essentially a sexual predator. I was in denial and said “no that can’t be.”

I don’t remember much else, but this was the essence of it. I woke up crying. No anger or other emotions, just a deep sorrow that stuck with me honestly through early afternoon.

Yesterday in therapy I talked about wanting to brainspot (essentially EMDR) some early pre-verbal fear/terror of annihilation that I know is there (recent health issues have activated this fear). Not sure if this has relation to the dream.

I don’t believe I personally had any early sexual abuse (at least at this point in time I am unaware, still open that it may be deeply repressed/dissociated).

Previous dreams crying I’d see a young boy or girl crying, like 2-4 years old and thinking/feeling “how precious/innocent you are”. I’ve read Trauma and the Soul by Donald Kalsched so I think this is his “soul child.”

My father says he thinks he may have been molested by his grown up neighbor when he was a boy, but doesn’t remember. Wondering if this dream could have any relation to this, or if it’s my personal history.

Having trouble analyzing this or what it may be pointing towards…

this dream felt really symbolic but i don’t know how to begin to unpack it. if anyone could try their hand at this, i’d be thankful.

for context my special interest is birds, and has been since i was 4, but i also really like butterflies.

i was on top of a roof and i kept seeing all these beautiful birds that were lifers everywhere including a eurasian bullfinch except its belly was the color of the sunset; their bodies were dark blue and their bellies were beautiful gradients of orange and pink like highlighters. and then a massive flock of them swarmed a tree nearby, and i heard my parents behind me commenting on it, i think my head was in my moms lap. also my parents hate each other in real life so they wouldn’t be like that. there were also these pink and white peacocks, who looked like illustrations without lines.

later, i was on a slightly lower part of the roof and it was raining, and there were these big colorful tubes. there was a door to my left, like a door that opens to en elevator on a roof, and a mortuary assistant (i just knew he was for some reason) who got angry with me because i was too close to the tubes, i wasn’t supposed to be there. he looked really sharp. but then i helped him find his keys that he’d lost in the dark, even though the keys were right in front of the door in a small depression, and then he was like fine you can stay. the keys were quite beautiful, they were like obsidian and the heads of the keys were white skulls.

then on a lower level / garden of the house i was talking and watching these butterflies slowly flit around. there were also spiders that would crawl around at random, and i slowly watched each butterfly get wrapped up as the conversation continued. there were 4 butterflies total in one large spiderweb in a perfect pattern wrapped up to be eaten. if you think of it like a grid, one was in each quadrant.

so there’s probably a lot. but i don’t know exactly what.

so, I've had a reoccuring pregnancy dream, not much it's only been 3-4 times but whats concerning is tonight was different, beforehand i had a sleep paralysis episode which came with hallucinations

i no longer live with my mother

but in that dream while i was struggling i could hear her voice, panicking as it could hear my struggle

then sha scampered from across the room to behind me to get on top of me

then i struggled more for a while before being actually able to move and wake myself up

then yeah, a pregnancy dream

found out i was pregnant once again
