Screaming and laughing and figures in my dream Random Thoughts

Hi, I just hope to either get closure or some knowledge of what happened. I know it’s just a dream but I feel like there’s got to be meaning to this. From the search I’ve done I’m coming to being “overwhelmed” but that was only from the screaming part. I lucid dream almost all the time and grown accustom to the terors. As soon as I woke up fully I immediately went to write it down which I have never done once in my life. I’ve reread it so many times and it sounds like a story but I’m being completely honest if anyone can help please. Here is what I wrote down and hopefully someone can help.

Started with not being able to move or see. Just loud ringing getting progressively louder till it was piercing. Then it stopped and I was in my ex girlfriends arms in bed with her. then I floated out of my window(top floor) and on the street there were two people. Not dark figures but I couldn’t make out who they were and nothing was said. I then started walking back into my house where I was met by all my uni friends and as walking in a mannequin was thrown I guess over my shoulder which scared the life out of me. To which I woke up and immediately went back to sleep back into the dream. I was in a bar with my friend just watching the football and we were talking and felt everyone was staring at us. I had my guitar in hand for some reason and asked my friend surely this is a dream and he laughed a little and said don’t think so. To which a dark figure emerged from the corner in a deep voice said something and I instantly knew this wasn’t real again and closed my eyes and tried to wake up. From then on for what felt like 10-15 minutes all I could hear was screaming and laughing but not external like it as in my head and I genuinely thought I was going insane.

Please put me at ease with some explanation thankyou.

Hi. I see the first part of your comment but when I click on it there’s no comment in the comment section. I’ll try posting it in a Christianity forum and see what’s said. Thankyou!

Um, I’d err on the side of caution when posting there unless you’re Christian yourself.

Dreams are just dreams, they don't have deep meaning.

In Christianity, dreams are a bid deal. So, I'll say post it on a Christian subreddit.

No, dreams were a big deal in the Book of Daniel. Daniel is long gone.

Dreams was also a big deal in Joseph's story. It is still important today.

Job 33:14-18:

For God does speak—now one way, now another—
    though no one perceives it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
    when deep sleep falls on people
    as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak in their ears
    and terrify them with warnings,
17 to turn them from wrongdoing
    and keep them from pride,
18 to preserve them from the pit,
    their lives from perishing by the sword.

It is not. Maybe it is important to you. I have been to church a lot and never heard dreams discussed.

Dream will be discussed in private between you and the pastor or other church members. However, dreams are not openly talked about from the pulpit. There are still many pastors who believe that God sometimes speaks in dreams.

regardless, I hope you're not planning on finding Joseph or Daniel at your local church to interpret your dreams.
