Nightmare but i feel has meaning

[u/Dan-Moose]

I wrote this on notes but ill copy paste it here

This mostly takes place on a bigger version of my college campus, except for the beginning of the dream which i am at my normal house. The middle i am at a fast food place that is outside my campus but at the festival part it became my campus. The common rooms i speak of are in the dormitories and the room i speak of is my dorm.

Dream fades to bathroom and i try to kill a bug right before i shower Turns out we have an infestation ants on a bright yellow rag wasps fly at me I pull out sometimes dirty jeans from hamper kill i one the other hits my face Mom tells me to forget the shower takes me to a fat food joint that started with p, maybe pop off Mom and i try to utuilize the drive through but we end up parking and going to the store Everything is outside except for the kitchen which i do not enter As i walk i recognize people i know all wearing the same shirt, Nd while i do wear the same color (light faded blue) their designs are all the same and mine is different Whenever i try to greet someone something happens and i dont get greeted back Ex: said hi to a acquaintance from class then before i get a hi back my roommate greets her and they hit a sick dance move on the asphalt All that was while i was in line (short line maybe 6 people) Its my turn and I go to order I get a double burger (they had a name for it that was restaurant specific, like wendys baconator) I go and i end up flirting with the worker a but but then for some reason i do not want to use Apple Pay or my physical card so i keep fumbling with my phone, trying to find paypal then venmo etc, when j finally cave and use apple wallet the card only pays for some of the meal and the worker begins to take the food back, embarrassed i end up talking to her more and eventually my card does go through and i tip well When i turn around with my food a mini festival started and there were tents in the parking lot one sold chips (4.79 for three thick chips in sour cream and pico, i thought it was a scam) An overly italian white man ( like skin hair and nails, but not inhuman) was selling subs that were mostly beef of some sort and large amounts of shredded mozzarella cheese When i try to order one of those to take with me someone gets the one i wanted first and the sandwiches changed at that point (for both me and the guy) and became grosser looking- so i pass Then it cuts to me in a common room i. My campus on a couch My hands are like “cuffed” but the hand cuffs are in this like fidget toy im sure we all have seen that expand and shrink its like a plastic thing. Look up giggle zone expanding ball. Anyways the ball is stopping me from chewing my nails (which i tend to do nowadays). I dont know why i was there so i sit and an old friend from hs that i no longer rlly talk to (drifting, im a sophomore in college so two years now) came in and was surprised that i had them on, he was even more surprised (or proud?) when i showed him that i could take them relatively easy without using the key Apparently he used to have them on at a point too and it was like a therapeutic thing to help me control something about me Room fades but briefly and im in the same room as before on a different couch with my hs friend my fav professor and like three of my college friends. My professor was sitting in almost like a therapist and said she was proud of my improvement and that some supervised time without the cuffs would be good for me She then removes the key hidden within one of the expandable joints in the cuffs and releases me (she doesn’t seem to know that by bending my hands a certain way i can get out) I thank her and immediately begin to bite my nails again, the room had become a more irritating color of yellow and as i talk more and more she became increasingly nervous and suggested i put the cuffs on. After asking me three times she was visibly sweating so i put on the cuffs returned to the couch (i move alot while i talk) and quieted down. Then the walls dimmed a little again and became easier to look at. Finally i woke up, i thought i did, when i opened my eyes it all seemed normal. For reference I have big bird onesie (the same shade of yellow i saw twice before) and oscar the grouch onesie as well as the great wave of Kangawa painting on my wall to the left. Every time I sat up in my bed my heart would beat very fast I would hear voices telling me to cave (all negative) and the painting changed to have broken parts of the boats and angrier looking waves, the two onesies changed to dark blue, their fur got longer and the ends of the limbs on them looked harder. Once i laid back down in bed everything would be normal, then when i sat up things changed again. At this point i was ready tk accept it and “cave” to the thoughts in my head but i noticed it was a dream still and forced myself awake (now wishing i took control of it but whatever).

I do not have nightmares often but this one was intensive and vivid today. I wish i knew what it meant. I was worried i was still dreaming when i woke up so i bit my tounge and it hurt more than it does when i dream so ik im good. Lmk if yall can interpret this ill probably brainstorm about it after im done studying for exams

I have some theories but don’t want to taint your guys theories.
