/dr/ - Dreams

>What do you wish to achieve?
I'm not sure anymore. I feel as though I'm searching for something, but what it is I'm uncertain of.
>How do you plan to reach your goals?
Right now I simply need to go to college and finish my education. After that, get money and see where it takes me. Anywhere is better than nowhere.
>What have you done so far to succeed?
After having fallen a far distance cleaning the house is an accomplishment in and of itself. Soon I'll making attempts to fix everything I've fucked up.
>What's keeping you down or what obstacles do you see in your path?
Lack of purpose, I suppose. Or maybe it's a lack of motivation. Life is strange after all, and it can be hard to find such things. In either case, I wish all of you anons luck in finding what you're searching for as well.

>What do you wish to achieve?
I'd like to have some stability in my life, become self-independent, and live somewhere where I can really enjoy life.

>How do you plan to reach your goals?
>What have you done so far to succeed?
>What's keeping you down or what obstacles do you see in your path?
This is a step that really needs to be figured out, but I've made a couple of first moves such as making an appointment to see a psychologist to deal with a lot of mental health problems and coping mechanisms to get me through this. Also I plan on starting to put more effort into myself and those around me. My girlfriend has been there for me for so long now and I need to in return be there for her. I have to stop worrying so much about other people in the community that doesn't like me and truly let go of my past. It's not going to be an easy road but it's one that I must take. Even if I have to take "baby steps" along the way in order to better myself just a little bit each and every day.

>What do you wish to achieve?
Gain more confidence, get a good job, move out with my bf, take care of myself better and de-stress.

>How do you plan to reach your goals?
- apply for jobs
- check for affordable apartments daily
- eat more fruit/veggies, stop relying on carbs and shitty meat alternatives and make everything from scratch
- start a skin routine and get some things professionally done because I'll feel good
- take up yoga, meditation and painting

>What have you done so far to succeed?
I've done a few interviews for jobs and I've inquired about a few apartments. I've applied for a visa in another country which hopefully will help me achieve independence and give me some work experience. This weekend I'm going to get some skincare products that I've researched and I'm excited about that. I've totally eliminated fast food from my diet (I used to get a takeaway every Friday) and I don't even think it looks good anymore and I've gotten into an intermittent fasting routine. A few months ago, I bought a painting set and I've done a few paintings that someone I respect said were good. I've been taking probiotics and vitamins. I didn't actually think I was making progress but typing all of that out makes me really proud of what I've done so far.

>What's keeping you down or what obstacles do you see in your path?
I'm getting a lot of rejection from companies, probably because I don't have enough work experience but every job listing requires some, it would be great if someone just took a chance on me and gave me that start I desperately need. I want to take classes for the hobbies I mentioned above but they're expensive and I can't until I start earning money. There are free classes on now and again but I get really embarrassed about my weight and it's really holding me back form things I think I'd love. I'm really hard on myself when it comes to not immediately being good at something like a new language or programming something. I'm finding it hard to break bad habits I have and I guess I have no motivation to break them either. I normally accuse myself of being lazy but in reality I think I'm just depressed. When I start earning, I'm going to start seeing a therapist again too. It's just all one big chain that I have to figure out where to break from.

happiness isn't everything. what you probably want is a deeper sense of meaning.

In advance, you are more than welcome to laugh.

I wish to make my name as a successful visual artist and settle down with an old flame in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

I'm a world away being part of the southern most penal colony of The Empire but some day I wish to see her again soon especially after she fell ill.

I apologize for this being so mundane.

It was very comfy. If I have some free time later maybe I'll write about it.

A very vivid and exciting one i had last night.
This isn't where the dream starts, but i don't remember anything before.
I get out of a church, to make it outside i have to go through this really cramped corridor that is choke full of people. I get to the exit but the military is blocking it, a pair of really tall soldiers, like three meters, won't let us pass. There is nothing i can do about it so i go back to the church, inside there are angels walking around, they look like old men in robes with white wings.
Suddenly, the church doors close, and demons start killing people with magic. They look the same as the angels except their wings are black and they have horns.
I run around trying not to get killed, and i think "well if i can't escape i might as well fight them", so i rush towards one of the old men to do a drop kick. But some strange force makes me miss.
Next thing i know i'm fighting this demon door with one big eye. It throws fire balls and shockwaves at me, i try to dodge them but some hit me, although they don't hurt, and it's going on about how i will never master the old art of chi channeling or whatever.
So i do exactly that, i focus my energy on my fingertips and throw a small fireball at it, and the door goes crazy about it.
But then i wake up in my room, i go downstairs to have breakfast until i realize that the house is actually very dark, my family is a bunch of faceless doppelgangers and this is all the demons' doing.
It turns into this really creepy nightmare where my house is messed up and the demons are psychologically fucking with me, until i realize i'm in a dream, and start practicing my lucid dream abilities.
I try to fly by jumping down the stairs. It doesn't go very well.

Cont.
This doesn't last long, a bunch of demons attack me in my mother's room.
So i start fist fighting them, and i'm really angry so i beat the shit out of them relatively easily.
One of them is this super muscular anthropomorphic horse body builder, i'm so pumped, angry and horny, that i push him down my mom's bed and rape him.
This is the first time i fuck someone in a dream and it feels so good. Kinda fucked up that i'm a rapist, but it makes sense since my fantasies usually involve violent rape.
I cum a ridiculous amount in like a minute, and i start waking up again, i realize that i fucked up real bad because i just came all over my mom's bed while i was sleeping.
I manage to clean up before anyone notices and i continue with my day.
I have a meal with my family, i tell them about my dream, when i get to the part i try to fly, my sister tells me in this weird tone "you should have tried to start a storm with your mind" and this for some reason makes me notice that something is very off, and that the demons are still at their bullshit.
I know the dream continues after this but i don't remember it.
I'm happy that i got to rape a hot ripped demon and i didn't actually cum irl, but i wonder what any of it actually meant.

Found a corpse floating inside the water/air mattress I used to sleep on in hot summers. I felt a vague sense of unease, but didn't think it was out of the ordinary.
Went to my garage to look for it afterwards IRL, but couldn't find it. Rather unsettling.

I had a dream last night. I don't remember exactly what happens, but it was about David Lynch and Mark Frost talking, i assume it was about Twin Peaks and dreams.
I think they were talking through a computer, and many other people were listening all over the world.
It was something seemingly completely unrelated to the series, but it was very very important, so i was writting it down as quick as i could.
It probably was intense, since it made me wake up.
While i was in the middleground between sleep and being fully awake, i was still anxious about coming back to the dream and writting what Lynch and Frost were saying. I eventually realized what they were saying was nonsense and it was just a dream. However, when i was falling asleep i became deeply worried, i believed the dream was true again. Then i became fully awake once more and stopped beliving, before believing again as i finally fell asleep.
Something funny also happened while i was awake, an image manifested in my mind. I hadn't even thought about pic related in months nor thinking anything remotely related at the time, it appeared in my mind just like that. While the image itself doesnt really scare me, it really creeped me out how it showed up out of nowhere in my head.
Anyway, i don't remember the dream i had when i slept again, but i woke up again for some reason at about 5 AM.
Just a strange night overall. Probably related to staying up late studying?

Mostly places from my childhood.
My old house, my grandmother's house, and so on.

I don't remember most of my dreams but i know buying my little pony toys at the store is a recurring theme in my dreams

Its hard to remember exactly but pretty much every dream i have is about things in life going wrong, like failing school and crashing my car. They are very believable until i wake up.

I used to dream a lot of bathrooms one to two years ago and probably still do, just that I don't write down my dreams right now.

Yume Nikki.

Don't mind me, just listing some books dealing with my favorite topic of all time:
>your own dream diary
>Traumnovelle by Schnitzler
>La vida es sueño by Barca
>Ett drömspel by Strindberg
>Works by Borges (in german there is an anthology by him dealing with dreams in myths and other scriptures called Buch der Träume. I was unable to find an english one)
>not necessarily dreams but Murakami is very dreamlike in Kafka on the Shore and Norwegian Wood
>Lovecraft has many tales about dreams
>so does Thomas Ligotti
>there is a short book detailing the dreams of oppressed groups during the nazi regime in germany but I can't remember

And finally, the dreamers bible
>Man and his Symbols by C.G. Jung

And the most recent one, apparently I had a reminiscence of a dream I had before about some sort of "game", that memory is probably just 'fabricated' by the dream but I'm not entirely sure, it took place on my childhood house so that makes me believe it could be a real memory, but whatever.

This was the sequel to that dream apparently, it was some sort of RTS game but it took place in real life, the map was my Grandmother's house, and the players were my cousin, some sort of cyborg guy, a guy I barely can remember and I, it seemed pretty much like AoE, but the difference was the technology, apparently it had nanomachines or that kind of cyborg stuff, anyway, what's interesting about this dream is that often people will come to my house, in last dream was a burglar, I was planning to deliver him to the police, so I went to the station, told them, bla bla bla, the game me some money and food for some reason. The same night the burglar approached me and told me how he was betrayed by everyone he knew, I felt sympathy for the guy and gave him the food, in the end I didn't deliver him to the police and he left my house but became a 'friend'.

This time there was this girl who lived in the streets and apparently she was really dangerous, so I went to the station, bla bla bla, the police this time were a bunch of assholes btw, gave me little money and food to bait the girl, I ended up giving the food to other guy, some sort of sultan, and now he suspected I wanted to deliver him to the police, then I woke up and my head was hurting a lot again.

This one's pretty weird, and doesn't really seem scary, but it scared the shit out of me and made me wake up at 3 in the morning.
>Am in some irish marching band for some reason (I'm not even irish, I'm a spic)
>Band takes a detour into a Jewel Osco (a lot of my dreams involve me going into grocery stores now that I think about it)
>Inside looks more like a well lit Tony's or something of the sort
>There's a gym in the Jewel
>We jog around the gym for no reason at all
>There's a oldass mexican looking cowboy, weird gait and generally very twitchy, huge ass hat
>Stutters when talking, isn't talking spanish, but not english either, sorta sounds crazy and talks gibberish
>Gives me a mangy blue sweater, and says it's mine (fucked if I knew how I understood him)
>walk alone for a bit
>now the grocery store looks more like a bodega/more grimy and dark
>It's also gotten a lot bigger
>look inside the pockets of the sweater
>an ID from my old middle school, belonging to some girl named "Loko" (crazy in spanish), no last name
>Picture shows her as incredibly deformed, whole face is patched with different skin tones

I'm >>705, the starfish dude.
Last night I dreamed that I went fishing with a buddy. I caught a MASSIVE parasitic worm, it was like 7 feet long. It looked like a dark brown grub, with two long shiny black curved pincers. Kinda like a bobbit (not gonna post a pic, google it). As you may imagine I tried to throw that shit back as fast as I possibly could. Unfortunately, as I was whipping it around it smacked my friend into the water. I guess it laid eggs in him or something, because later he had big lumps on his back where grubs were living just under the skin. I had to cut him open with a fishing knife and try and pull the small white grubs out, but they kept trying to burrow their way deeper so I had to reach in after them to pull them out, while still being careful not to get bit by them.

I just woke up from a nightmare, I don't have the energy to write it right now but it involved ghosts, some really disgusting and strange shit happening between some relatives, and children. Might write it later.

I had a bad dream that Peter Singer, Australian philosopher and advocate for animal rights, sexually abused me. I remember nothing except that he came up to me, perhaps in a fairly public place, and violently rubbed the lower half of his body on me.

It was just a dream, I am sure.

Ugh… Last week I dreamt about getting married with my ex-girlfriend (the only gf I ever had), I don't know why, I don't even like her that much (not even like her anymore), we haven't spoke since we broke, we haven't see each other since then, I don't hate her, but she was a completely slut.
Anyway I felt weird, it wasn't a happy dream, but it wasn't a sad dream either, I was a dream were my ex-girlfriend pushed me to get married, for no reason. I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean anything but I felt kinda awkward after that.

>>643
Oh boy, do I ever know this feel. I once dreamed about a girl who I'd never seen before. I don't even remember what she looked like, I just remember the feeling of having her by my side. It made me want to get a gf, but of course I still haven't gotten around to it.

yes ;;; usually remember past lovers in idyllic circumstances in dreams… then feel 'off' after waking, sometimes having to fight the urge to get back in touch with them for days

Write a book about it.

I suppose I could do a pamphlet.

How did you know it was hell and not heaven?

A place of great Power
Statues of the Hero Gods
A valley, mountains and spires of flame.
The Goddess guides me.
The Glory of Geburah.

Sounds terrifying, but I have to assume that it means your subconscious is trying to tell you something. If you sit and dedicate 10 minutes to writing stream-of-consciousness style, you may come up with something that can serve as a clue in finding out what the dreams mean to you

I get you anon, the only thing I dream about is my childhood sexual abuse. So far, I haven't found a way to fix it.

If my armchair education of dream psychoanalysis means anything than I'd suggest you to examine your behavior towards women around you and your history with them.
If you happen to be very shy and have little to do with the other sex besides pornography, then it might warp your idea of women and this idea might have gotten through in your dreams.
(Sorry if this sounds like an accusation, it's not meant as offense, I'm just speculating.)

Wish you good dreams.

That sounds like the hag. You are being attacked by an evil spirit. You need to burn sage and bless your home. If you cant, ask the local priest.
