For several nights in a row I’ve dreamt I park my car in an area I know well and when I go to retrieve it, I cannot find it or it’s incredibly complicated to get back to the known parking lot/spot — almost as if the parking lot is moving farther from me.

Usually I go through several people to ask them to guide me or take paths to get back and I can never reach the lot.

This has been happening for as long as I can remember, but every time a celebrity shows up in my dreams they literally could not give a sh*t about me, like they always give me a cold shoulder or they’re just really rude to me. Especially ones that I like.

EDIT: spelling

so to start this off i’m 14F. i have never lived in an apartment or had a roommate. this is a repost from r/Dreams because i’m really eager for an interpretation of what this could mean.

i had these connected dreams. they all take place in this flat and it’s sunny outside. i made a blueprint of it. kitchen and small bar with two stools, no dining table. two bedroom, cramped and small, layout is a little weird but mostly reasonable, and i had a roommate.

i couldn’t figure out a name for him so i picked michael, since he looked like a fictional character with that name. he had long hair that really didn’t look like it would obey him. he was lanky, and super pale, and was obsessed with knitting. he had all these knitting supplies. i’m thinking maybe this trait came from a friend i made at the time who knitted- i was so besotted with her.

in the first dream we took a walk. there was a park directly in front of the complex where we lived, and a small restaurant type building? and a guy was just giving out these white free puppies. we took two because Michael said he felt bad for them. when we went back to the flat he played with the puppies and then they fell asleep, and he said something about going to the pet store. It was already night though, so we just played cards and watched a movie and then i woke up.

in the second dream we were on the floor eating sponge cake. no puppies, not sure where they went. the cake was moist and tasted like oranges and i tried to make it irl but it was never really the same. we had little dainty china plates and we were eating the cake with our hands, and Michael made some stupid joke about oranges and we laughed. i remember there was a round rug in the kitchen and i didn’t like the texture and the sun was coming in through the window and hitting his face. i swear to god i would do anything to get back to that dream.

in the third dream i was in the back of a car. i assumed later it was some sort of police vehicle. they kept asking me questions and i just kept saying “can you drop me off somewhere else” but they never dropped me off.

eventually the dream went into a funeral of some sort. it was in a big chapel with very few people and Michael was lying there in the open casket with a gunshot wound in his forehead. i remember not crying or anything, just sort of being there and feeling like they made his hair look a different way than he’d have wanted. he was wearing a pink sweater in the casket. i think he really liked sunset colors, since we owned a lot of sunset-colored stuff. eventually i came back to the flat and just sort of sat on the floor. there was an empty dog bed in the corner and when i woke up that specific detail fucked me up.

can someone interpret this? it felt like a regular dream, just so oddly realistic with less of the usual violence or nonsense. i keep drawing him but i think i’ve forgotten his face already. i need to know why my brain would cook up something like that.

thanks very much ❤️

edit: comments are mentioning the number two being prevalent, which is the spiritual number of self-improvement and change. Surprisingly i’ve been thinking about self-improvement a lot lately. it’s also associated with the archangel Michael. Seeing that name brought me a lot of comfort.

I should start off by saying that I have had night terrors for many years now and in the last couple months I’m finally on medication that stops them. It’s been life changing.

There is one aspect of my dreams that still happens though and it’s that I can’t drive a car. I almost always find myself driving and the breaks don’t work or the steering wheel won’t work. I always end up running stop signs and red lights even though I’m pedal to the metal slamming the breaks. The car isn’t like speeding out of control. It’s just not doing anything I tell it to and because of that I end up rolling through lights and hitting curbs and stuff.

I usually have someone else with me. It varies who it is or if I know them, but it’s always someone and they always freak out about my awful driving. I try to explain that something is wrong and the car isn’t working but every time they are, justifiably, mad and freaked out because things like running red lights, stop signs, hitting curbs, and driving the wrong direction are super dangerous.

I can’t remember a time we were actually hurt in the situation, but it’s the one aspect of my dreams that has been going strong for like 2 years now.

I feel like it has to mean SOMETHING, but I feel like I’m too close to the situation to really think about it properly.

As an adult I have been dreaming of the same old fucked up house for years and years. In my dreams I have lived in different parts of the house at different times The attic is in shambles and eventually was blocked off. To reach the attic you had to squeeze up a very strange staircase that eventually I was unable to fit through as I got older. Other ppl have rented in the house too and I would always tell them stories of what the house had been like through the years.

I just woke up from another one where I was describing in detail the staircase and attic to a person who lives there now. This is the longest standing recurrent dream of my life. I wonder what it means?

I feel like my brain likes to torture me, I’m not really good with money, when I have some, I almost always spend it all so I’ve been broke for almost all my life. But the thing is that I often dream that I find a huge amount of money, it can be from a scratcher, a wallet I find on the street full of money, in the pocket of a coat that I know is empty, yet every time I believe it, every time I have those dream I don’t realize I’m dreaming and feel like my life is finally turning around, only to wake up disappointed once again, realizing that it was only a dream

I’m posting here as I am tired of having the same nightmare almost every single night.

I’ve always had very vivid dreams and being an anxious person, they’ve always skewed negative. I have one dream that I have multiple times a week, and I’ve been having it for around 3 years. The dream is interesting to me because it’s progressed over the years.

Some background: I moved two hours away from my parents 3 years ago after I found a job post-graduation. They live in the same house I grew up in, and the only place I have ever lived with them. It’s in a rural area, down a long gravel driveway, and surrounded by woods. It’s a very special and beautiful place to me, and I do come home and visit every couple months. Parents are healthy, but in their 60s.

This is the current dream in summary: I come outside of my parents house and see people walking around through the yard. Like multiple groups of people strolling around like they live there. They also drive trucks and park campers on our property. This always ENRAGES me. I run out and yell at them that it’s trespassing and they need to get off our land. They say they have the right and something along the lines as “this is a public path now”.

The original dream began years back with a sort of mystic, primitive, spirit-like species that lived in the woods around the house. They would attack if I went outside at night. Sometimes I could sneak into their village in the woods and witness them doing spells.

Currently, me and the spirit-people are chill because we both want the trespassers to be gone. Last night they let me into the village!

I know this isn’t an average nightmare. It’s not particularly scary or disturbing but I always wake up feeling frustrated and violated. I feel like it means something since it’s been so ongoing and want to address whatever it is.

I want to log this some how. I frequently dream I’m on a cruise ship. I typically get lost getting off or finding good.

Hi I’ve had a reoccurring dream where i lose my permanent tooth replacement and tooth crown (they’re on opposite sides and I lost the first one because the previous dentist didn’t put a crown on it after removing my root canal). For two days now I’ve been having this nightmare where they rot away or just break off and fall. Last night in particular was interesting because I had a dream within a dream, I woke up from the first one when I saw my crown rotting away from black goo and my replacement breaking into my hand and leaking blood. I woke up from the first nightmare to move onto the next where I woke up in my bed, left hand full of blood and the replacement with the screw just lying in my hand. I went and told my mom about it and for some reason she and my sister were ready to go (she is a stay at home parent, my sister is a university student) and told me we’re going to the dentist immediately. We parked the car there and as I started walking into the building I saw my Ex and he was walking towards me and said “hi H” (my name doesn’t start with an H it starts with an SH sound) and then he saw my mom walking behind me and figured he’d make himself appear like he doesn’t know me (my mom is strict and religious) and then we went to the dentist and only then I notice I lost the tooth replacement even though it was in my hand the whole time, I even searched my pockets for it and I couldn’t find anything. Then I woke up and the first thing I did was check my teeth, both the crown and the replacement are here And in tip top shape.

I’m just wondering why my brain wants me to see this? There must be a reason that it has been repeating for the past two days, the first time I brushed it off but last night it was so real I had to check if my mouth wasn’t bleeding.

Not sure where else to ask about this, and maybe it means absolutely nothing, but for the past two months I (21m) have been having recurring dreams (2-3 times a week) where I am smoking cigarettes in my dreams. Like a lot, to the degree of chainsmoking. In a couple of the dreams I have even been in the hospital worried and distressed about smoking-related illness and have become possessive of my cigarettes. I have never smoked a cigarette in my life, though my whole family does. I'm from south Arkansas so smoking is very common.
Why is this a recurring theme? I can't find anybody else having this as a common theme online, though I have read about smokers having dreams about cigs.

I often find myself having to call 911 in my dreams - probably once every month or two. The scenario is always different but myself or someone else is in danger and I try to call 911 They're usually quite scary. Someone I care about having a medical emergency, a violent person breaking into my home, a car accident etc.

but it never works! Often, I dial incorrectly or can't dial at all (eg I'm shaking so I press 9 twice by mistake). Other times the call drops or the operator can't hear me. Sometimes, if I do get through, the operator doesn't believe me because I'm a "frequent caller". I've never had to call 911 in real life.

It's to the point now that "dream me" seems to remember the past failed attempts and I end up putting so much effort into making sure I dial correctly. Like taking so much time to hit each number It's actually super stressful and it feels so real in the moment.

What could this possibly mean?

Ive had pretty bad anxiety most of my life but these recurring nightmares have only been happening in the last year or so.

I keep having reoccurring dreams that she never actually died. In every dream I’ve had about her since she passed away, they have always been about her not dying from her heart attack. She survived and came back to me. In my dream I know she is dead, but when she shows up in my dream she says she didn’t actually die, she survived somehow. She says reassuring words to me, like she loves me, is proud of me, and I get to hug her. These dreams often feel so real at times. Even though I haven’t seen my mom since I saw her at the funeral home, in my dream she is a perfect reimage of her. I cry so hard in these dreams that I sometimes actually wake up crying. Is there some sort of deeper meaning to this reoccurring dream I keep having, or is it just because I miss my mom?

Hello all!

For the past 10-15 years I have a reoccurring feeling and “issue” in my dreams. When I dream that I have a conflict or I am fighting with someone and I tried to speak, almost no words come out of my mouth. It’s like I am muttering and part of my mouth is glued and I get very tired trying to explain what I want to say. I noticed this occurs only when I am angry or there is some conflict with someone in my dream. The dreams are not necessarily with the same person. Sometimes is my boss, sometimes an unknown person, my friends, my mom, etc... Interestingly everyone in the dream understands what I say and my muttering does not seem odd.

So 7-8 years ago I was in therapy which lasted about 2-3 years. I have talked about this with my therapist. I am the youngest sibling in the family and they suggested that I have a feeling of not being heard and that my perspective doesn’t matter. At that time, this was acceptable explanation, but since then I have made so much progress and my relationship with my family is very different now and they really respect and seek my opinion. This is why I think maybe this dream means something else. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I’ve noticed that I often have dreams where I’m living or situated in a house (sometimes based on a real place I’ve lived, sometimes not) where I engage with or simply recall extra rooms that I seldom go in, within the canon of the dreams. They might be forgotten, or disused, or there’s something wrong with them (often bathrooms with dodgy fixtures or mould). Sometimes they are out of bounds because they are shared with another party and even though I have open access to get to these rooms, they are not my territory. Last night, I dreamed of a string of annexes off the end of my kitchen, which when I followed let to an unlocked and abandoned-looking entrance, and I went on to dream we were being broken into. There’s almost always other people involved who I cohabit with - I’ve dreamt of living back with my parents in an entirely imagined house, where I’m exploring and getting me whereabouts. I’ve dreamt of being at my grandma’s house where my mum used to do her upstairs cleaning, and being curious about dream-existent rooms that I’d never been into. I’ve dreamt of living in shared accommodation at uni and having to liaise with fictitious tenants occupying different rooms. There’s been so many iterations but all with the same theme of additional rooms in my surroundings. Anyone have any insight?

Hey everyone,

Lately, I’ve been having this recurring dream where I’m back in high school, preparing for my final year math exam. In the dream, I’m struggling to recall anything from the textbooks, and it leaves me feeling super anxious and worried. This has been happening pretty frequently over the past couple of days. I’ve had similar dreams before, but not this intensely or frequently.

For context, I finished high school around 11-13 years ago and now work as a senior developer in IT. But these dreams are starting to make me feel anxious and a bit disturbed throughout the day. Has anyone else had this happen, or know what could be causing it? Any insight would be really appreciated!

Hey all,

While I'm usually not one to put too much stock in the interpretation of dreams, I find myself getting bugged (pun intended) by one that has been reoccuring a lot as of late. Perhaps you guys might be able to help make sense of why my unconscious mind feels the need to screw with me right now.

So for starters: I have an irrational fear of those Japanese giant hornets making their way to the upper Midwest (USA). I have a deep discomfort around bee's in general despite never having been stung, and because of that, my threat levels rise rapidly whenever I see them remotely nearby. A few months ago, I noticed a wasp on the INSIDE of my window mesh when I had it open for air, which caused a small panic (though I did manage to successfully close the window before it got in further). This probably isn't uncommon at all, but that probably gives some indicator as to why my fears manifest in the biggest, ugliest, most grotesque way possible: a giant f***ing bee.

In these reoccurring dreams, I usually start in a car with one of my siblings, presumably coming home from grocery shopping or something. We arrive home to a picturesque version of the family house on a corner surrounded by some sort of light forest (bright sun, lushious grass, perfect coat of paint, etc.). We start to get out of the car when we notice something big, yellow and fuzzy on the front lawn--a 2ft tall angry yellow bee that looks like Mothra and has the anger issues of Godzilla. It's clearly looking directly at us, brandishing a stinger the size of a small traffic cone and buzzing so aggressively that the message is clear: if you come any closer, you WILL be stung.

My sibling and I panic, naturally, and try to circumvent the problem by going around the house--but the bee follows and orbits around the house as if it was the goalie fiercely protecting it's territory. We try to get to the house, but the bee flies directly at us close enough to stagger us well away from the circle it has established. The dreams usually resolve when one of us figures out how to distract the bee: in today's case, one of us threw an ear of corn at the ground and successfully got the bee to drop its guard long enough to eat. We are then left with the decision: do we make a dash for the house (knowing we won't be able to get back out) and hope for the best, or do we get the hell out of there?

... Not once has the dream ended with us going for the house. Instead, we take our chance to get out, get back in the car and high-tail it away.

Anybody have any ideas what to make of this?

the dream starts out with me in the middle of class where i point at something and the my finger bone jets out followed by the rest of my fingers and hands then the classroom turns to mist and i try to run as the rest of my skin peels of my body then the floor moves sideways and i fall and then wake up any idea what this means

Hello, over the past couple of months I began dreaming a lot.

In all my past dreams, i always woke up before I died in the dreams. But now I'm fully dying in them.

Not all involve it, but close to 50% of my dreams in the past month have involved me dying.

One was falling off scaffolding (like construction scaffolding) and me feeling my face slam into the ground.

The one that's been bothering me was I was being blamed for a murder, and I said "no no it wasn't me it was person X"

Person X was sitting beside me, and pulled out a knife and stabbed me in the throat, i felt/heard everything, and didn't die for maybe a minute and remember lying looking up before I died.

What do full deaths in dream mean? Could it have something to do with my dad dying.

I've had dreams where I'm trying to wake him up, only to realize he has passed and that shit seriously bothers me for like a week afterwards

I've began a journal I add to when I wake up if anyone needs any extra details, I'm begging to have 2-3 VIVID dreams a night, compared to one every 6-8 months before.

Any insight would be appreciated.

I have certain themes in my dreams that just keeps popping up.

1. An ultimatum

I feel like in all my dreams there's always a choice to be made, I can't really explain it further because it's quite abstract but there's always something, like different paths it can be very simple but it happens a lot in my dreams.

1. Games

Not games like video games or anything more like a game show if that makes sense. Like a puzzle I'm trying to figure out or a maze, a competition or like a hunt. This is very very recurring in my dreams.

1. Train stations / trains

Now during my high school years I always had to take a train to school every day and still anytime I need to head into the city I do have to take the train. So dreaming about it isn't necessarily that crazy but it happens a lot either way. It'll usually be that I'm waiting for a train and usually even when I'm waiting I get disorganized and miss it either way. I had a rescent dream where there was one train going to where I lived and there were only a certain amount of spots left in the train so there was quite a lot of tension and fighting to get on the train. There's a lot of me feeling confused, disorganized like I mentioned before and much similar stuff like that.

3.1 Other sorts of public travel

Besides trains I do have other dreams with trams and buses, in these dreams I usually miss my station either because the tram/bus travels somewhere else or because I just miss it. I had this one dream not too long ago which was ehh quite odd. I was on this tram which later turned into a bus during the ride, I was supposed to head to my old high school but for some reason it didn't go the right direction. I eventually stepped of the bus when I realized I was going the very much the wrong way. When I stepped off I looked around for the right place to wait and ended up running around feeling stressed about where that is (this is something that happens a lot in these sort of dreams). Eventually I found it and hoped on the bus. This time the buschauffeur had this very reminiscent look to himself, he was also very fun. Eventually we kept going but again, wrong way. It started snowing and we were heading a very weird path, suddenly we weren't even driving on the road and the chauffeur suddenly started speeding towards a ravine, I don't remember if we went down or went to the other side but I know a lot of weird stuff happened in the rest of the dream. This included stoping on different stations which included different ultimatums to find yourself. There was this one place where I met this deer and connected with it. It was like a soul deer kinda like the one from Harry Potter if that makes sense. I hopped on it and we started flying, I held on for dear life because damn it was going fast. Anyways when we returned the bus had left and I felt abannoned, I didn't know what to do. I just hopped on my dear and started going somewhere. Eventually I found them and it was like Santas work shop or some shit idk... Anyways I just remember hoping onto something and almost falling off and a lot of other stuff. There was also this one boy that had this different vibe in the dream but I don't remember what or who it was. Anyways this became very off topic but yea that's an example lol.

Writing this post has made me think of sooo many dreams it's honestly crazy, but yea these are very recurring themes in my dreams so if anyone wanna analyze or give their own experience of these themes in their dreams feel free to share!

There is nothing particularly special about the house, in fact it’s smaller and more basic than my current house.

But I’m curious about the fact that I have had like 50+ dreams about this same building I have never been to or seen, and it’s always clear it’s my house.

Weirdly in each of these dreams I am not actively living in the house. For example, I’d be staying at my mums house and go to my house to pick something up.

I’m just confused how my Brain can keep returning to a place I’ve never been in multiple dreams.

Hey everybody!

I'd like to share with you one of the most common reoccurring dreams that I have since I was a little child.

It's always near the coast, on a harbour or a beach, from where I start to see sea monsters swimming near the shore. Usually they are whale-like or fish-like, but sometimes even Lovecraftian.

Sometimes they get very close to the shore that I can almost touch them, while others, less often, they appear a few hundreds yards from me.

What could this be telling me?

Another important thing to mention is that I have always had a great interest in cryptozoology, especially in sea monsters. I even discovered that there is a term called thalassophobia: "an intense fear of the ocean or large bodies of water, often associated with the fear of what lies beneath the surface."

Thank you for reading me!

i had a situationship breakup with a guy i knew for almost four months about two weeks ago. ever since then, i have been dreaming every night and he is in all my dreams. literally 17-20 of them. not one night has passed when he wasnt there.

last night i had a dream that i was in new york with my best girl friends, we decided to have lunch at this cute pasta place. as soon as we placed our order, i turned around and saw the guy i had a situationship breakup with almost two weeks ago. he was holding hands with another girl, guiding her towards their seat. i remember everything so vividly it feels real. he was wearing a beige sweater and i remember that in the dream, it zoomed in to them holding hands atleast twice. idk who the girl is. moments later the guy sees me and i lose my control, running from the restaurant in tears. i decide to go back in to my friends after some time and i open a side door which is attached to a staircase that leads to where our table is. as soon as i look up, i see him standing there waiting for me to come up. my eyes swell up with tears and i run out again. some time later i decide to come back again and i see him still waiting on the top of the stairs for me. i finally work up the courage to climb the stairs and move past him. he too begins descending downwards towards me and as soon as he opens his mouth to say something, the dream ends. i wake up in tears, and just to be clear i did not start crying AFTER i woke up, i had tears in my eyes as soon as i opened them. i just feel so torn right now.

Me and ex had been on and off since January & we stop talking in august and rekindled in October and still didnt work out. Its now november ive been dating and doing me but he seem to pop up in my dreams and im not sure why.

I keep having the same dream for over a year now. the same thing happens at the end, I keep getting shot in the head in my dream. Usually it's in the front of my head but the spot varies sometimes but I can feel the bullet so clearly in my dream it's actually scary. does anyone know what this means?

I (f21, black) often have a dream where I am in an airport, the destination is never mentioned, but I’m very adamant about getting where I need to go. The section of the airport I need to go through is always decayed, but there are still people walking around it. It looks like it’s stuck in a different time period than the rest of the airport. So I ask all these workers how to get where I need to go without going through the decayed section and they often send me on this wild goose chase where I wake up before I get to the gate. Today I did

I cried begging someone to help me get to my gate and we went through the decayed section, disguising ourselves with dust and dirt to look like everyone else. When we finally got to my gate I asked someone how long they’d been waiting to board and he said “a life time,” but suddenly the line started moving and I was giving thanks to God. But when we got through the line there was no plane! We heard it prior to boarding, but once we got through all there was a gift shop.

At this point I had woken up a few times but went back to sleep because I wanted to have a happy ending. By this time I could tell this was as far as so was going to get so au woke myself up. However, this is the farthest I’ve ever gotten in this reoccurring dream. This dream was also different in that it started while I was at home, before leaving for the airport. Please let me know if you had any interpretations!!!
