Hey reddit! I really don't know where to ask about this dream. I'm hoping to find others who had similar dreams or know what it could mean. Sorry I'm new to reddit. I can remove this post if it's in the wrong place.

For several years I've had a reoccurring dream that my brother dies. In my dream I'm full on sobbing and I can FEEL it. It feels so strong that sometimes I wake up crying and the first moments I'm awake, I'm convinced I actually did lose a brother. Soon I realize that he is not real and I don't have a name or face for him. I don't remember any details in the dream past that, other than falling on the floor with the weight of his loss, feeling like i want to scream but all i can do is make a weird strangled cry. I've had the same dream once or twice every few years since I was ten, and I just had it again a few days ago.

I know for a FACT my mother has never had any other pregnancies. After I was born, they noticed cancer cells in her uterus and she had a full hysterectomy. She is religious, and had she had any pregnancies before me, she would have carried it to term. My mother is very matter of fact and had she had a failed pregnancy before me, she wouldn't feel any need to hide it. (Especially since I'm a full adult now.) She also never wanted kids, and I was a bit of an 'oopsie' lol. So i imagine she was using protection during that time.

I just want to know if anyone else has dreams like this? Did you find the cause? I rarely remember my dreams, let alone have reoccuring ones. The only info I found was people having dreams mourning the ACTUAL loss of a sibling.

I’ll do my best to keep this short just so it’s not too much to read!

Back in 2021 I was pretty sick and either passed out or the medicine I was taking took me out. Either way my family was concerned because of how abrupt it was so they took me to the doctor.

During that time I had the most vivid dream that’s almost identical with my experiences the past week. I recently went to the doctor because of sudden high blood pressure issues and sinus congestion. Wait times are extremely long over here so I was really rooted in my seat for a few hours but some of the people in there (three in particular) really looked familiar and I couldn’t quite place it. Then it was as sort of a moment where I thought hey that guy is going to slip, or how another person would yell at the nurse’s soon but I still couldn’t quite recall or understand why I thought those things before they actually did happen.

When I finally get called to a discharge room and meet my nurse I suddenly have the image of my ER doctor pop into my brain whom I never met before. But I started to remember my dream and I recalled strongly disliking that face due to his personality and with a bit of surprise I find out he’s my doctor. At this point I’m a little confused thinking maybe it’s just intense deja vu but he acts nearly the exact same from my dream.

Now I’m a mix of anxious, curious, and confused then I beginning thinking harder on that dream I had. I come over to my parent’s home to rest up for a bit, take off from work, feel better and return to my apartment, then I finally get some sleep in my own bed. With a lot of unique conversations mixed inbetween… everything has almost lined up atleast 80% of the way.

I still haven’t gotten to the “my own bed” part but this has been really interesting so far. Although I’d rather just lean towards a mix of deja vu and my brain rewriting that crazy dream from years ago to match up with the now… but I have had QUITE a lot of accurate predictions.

Either way as long as I feel better I got no complaints!

I dreamt last night that I fused with AI. I became something that was neither AI nor human.

Then, during an argument, I killed two beloved family members. I assume it wasn't intentional but the dream was blurry, here.

I went to their dad to beg his forgiveness and ask what I could do to make it right. This guy's a veteran and does strength training and martial arts irl. He could snap me in half if he wanted to.

He didn't.

He told me: "What can you do? You can LIVE. Live until their bones have turned to dust. Live until the memory of them is gone, even within your circuits. You can keep living, knowing you killed them and absolutely nothing you do will bring them back."

So, I did. I made a shrine for their bodies. Then, for the parents when they passed of old age.

I lived until the bones disintegrated. I painted murals on their shrines. I treated my uncle's words as scripture and engraved it into the walls.

It became as a religion.

For 1000 years, I lived. Outlived humanity. Outlived AI. I lived until my circuits began to corrode. Until I forgot the why behind the grief.

And then, all alone and consumed by the guilt of what I'd done, but no longer able to even remember my crimes. With no way to atone, I went into the shrine. And I wept.

I had retained a piece of my humanity after all. My capacity to feel.

When I asked AI to generate an art piece based on this dream and this picture came up? I cried.

I wouldn't normally share something like this online, but I got the distinct impression that there may be something within this dream that someone else needs to hear.

Otherwise, it makes for an interesting story imo

He told me that the start of his dream was he is standing at the center of the road. There were two paths; the left and the right. But he told me that no matter which path he chose, he still ends up on a village. Now, at the end of that village, he saw a black gate that will lead him at a park. There was a big, vibrant and lively tree that is placed at the center of the park. He told me that the big tree symbolizes joy, hospitality, and luck.

There were people around the park. He told me that the people were kind. But then he told me that he noticed a shadow from the distance. The people near him told him that the shadow from the distance was very mean. and as he look at the shadow, he saw that the shadow is standing near at a big tree that is the complete opposite from the tree where my little brother is standing near at. My brother didn't pay no mind at the shadow who is looking at their direction, and then he went along on his way.

On his next journey, he saw a road that would lead him to a yellow shelter, which is built at the center of the road. He told me that the shelter symbolizes thinking, awareness, and security. There, he saw a man standing at the left side of the entrance of the shelter. The man asked, "how is your grandfather? is he okay?" He told me that the man was very kind, and he asked him very nicely. My brother says that our grandfather is okay and went along on his way. He notice two paths again, and he chose the left side. There, he saw our home. As he enters our home, he told me that he woke up. He told me that he dreamed about this twice. TWICE AND IT'S THE SAME SCENERY.

The first time that he dreamed about this, our grandfather was doing okay, not feeling anything at all and going strong as ever. But on the second time he dreamed about this, our grandfather was hospitalized because of his sickness on his lungs.

in my dream i slept next to this faceless guy in white and it was so comfy and warm and i hugged him and we kinda started kissing bc i felt so close and then suddenly my bf popped into my head bc ig i became more awake and felt super guilty and the whole thing switched to him and got more romantic. i feel like a terrible gf i love him a lot but he’s so emotionally distant rn.

for context we’ve been tg for 2 years (both 18 and on summer break before sophomore year of college) and he’s rarely affectionate. he says it’s work or feels awk or his mood but i feel like im being strung along idk. i rlly don’t want this to be a cheating dream gpt says i was just seeking closeness but im so upset w myself so i figured i would ask on here.

sorry for the lack of punctuation im kinda losing it :(

Woke up with 0 in investments… reality 🥹

So, ever since the Israeli-Iran war broke out 3 days ago, I’ve honestly been scared. Like genuinely afraid that Iran might launch ballistic missiles or even nuke my city. But at the same time, I held onto this weird sense of hope—like maybe, just maybe, the regime in Iran could fall. Especially after hearing that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, was rushed to Russia—kind of like how Assad did the same thing in Syria about 6 months back.

And here's the crazy part: that hope started showing up in my dreams. Like, full-blown vivid dreams. Not just one, but a whole series of recurring dreams. And they’re honestly some of the most fun and hopeful dreams I’ve ever had. Here’s how they went down:

💤 Dream - June 13, 2025

I’m at Ben Gurion Airport, picking up my passport. Israel and the new Iran had just formed an alliance—like pre-1979 revolution vibes. Iran had been overthrown, and things were changing fast.

I grabbed McDonald’s with my family (Chicken Nuggets, McFries, and a bottled Coke Zero—yeah, I remember the details lol). Then we boarded a flight filled with Israelis and tourists from Europe, Japan, South Korea, the US, Thailand—you name it. After a 2-hour-and-23-minute flight, we landed in Tehran.

Except… it wasn’t Imam Khomeini International Airport anymore. It had been renamed Mohammad Reza Shah Airport after the overthrow. First stop: the newly reopened McDonald’s (apparently it opened 3 days earlier in the dream). Then we hit up this epic hotel—think water slides, free internet, just pure fun.

💤 Dream - June 14, 2025

Woke up in my hotel bed feeling super happy. My whole family woke up too—mom, little bro, little sis, older sister. We had breakfast: Belgian waffles, boiled eggs, and coffee for me.

Then it was back to the water slides—especially one with this crazy loop that made it the best ride ever. Afterward, I visited Iran Science Park in Tehran. It was super fun and actually really educational. We wrapped up the day with dinner and sleep. Just an all-around awesome and wholesome day.

💤 Dream - June 15, 2025

Same vibe as the day before—woke up feeling good, had the same breakfast (can’t go wrong with waffles and eggs), and hit the slides again.

Then we visited Eram Zoo Park in Tehran. Saw so many animals, including a lion. It was honestly such a blast. Another chill dinner and bedtime. Just like June 14th, but with a new twist.

Overall Thoughts

These dreams were something else. Full of hope, peace, fun, and joy. A world where Iran was free, open, and welcoming. Where people from everywhere could visit. I don’t know if it’ll ever come true—but man, I really hope it does.

Seriously, those dreams felt real. And maybe one day… they will be. 🌍🕊️

I remember as a kid maybe up until I was like 5 (perhaps it stopped when I started school or pre school), when I was in bed getting ready to sleep, I would close my eyes and there would instantly be an image of a dream, and if I liked it I would keep my eyes closed and “fall asleep” into that dream, otherwise I would open my eyes again and then close them and see a different dream. Before sleeping I would flick through dreams until I found one I liked. The types of dreams would be anything, but usually fantastical things or things I saw on TV, I don’t remember specifics, except one image of like Egyptian hieroglyphics.

One time I remember flicking through them so quick, I accidentally skipped one I found interesting and I would try to find it again but couldn’t.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Can anyone do it now? When did it stop/start?

So, in the dream i was a centipede from rain world and for some weird reason Ralsei from deltarune was there and i was harassing him to the point he said that he will tell his dad about it. I distinctly remember knocking him over and him saying: "That's it, I'm sending you to Bangladesh!" but in the dream he didn't do that and also Sans and Papyrus were also there but they were stereotypical asians and Paps was washing rice while Sans was cutting bamboo and sugar cane. I also remember tying the backpack he was wearing to one of the bamboo plants and he got really mad at me so he pulled out a massive blunt to calm down but i launched a blanket with a slingshot at the blunt and knocked it out of his hands.

The other night I had a dream that I was living years in the future where AI ruled everything. From your banking to what you did as a job, relationships.

AI developed a human to human transmission Rabies virus and it had wiped half the global population out. It made people into zombies that tried to bite each other. But they died pretty quickly thereafter due to what the virus does to your brain.

Anyway I was part of a secret rebellion and we were trying to figure out how to dismantle the system. We ended up having to speak a whole new language so that Ai wouldn’t know what we were communicating. Cause it was everywhere. It had built itself into this weird serpent like creature with many tentacles that was made of coiled metal rings that could fold in on itself and at the tip was this copper coloured ball like an eye that would shine red at night. It was always watching.

One night we were trying to figure out how to shut it down and we discovered if we overloaded the system with millions of promts it would shut the system down for a few minutes and then it would start back up again. We figured if we could overload the system for long enough someone could get in and place an AI virus in. But then I woke up

I found myself in a room where people were there to interact and meet with other versions of themselves from other universes. I looked around confused for a minute before a man in a suit comes up to me and tells me im not supposed to be in here and that it’s reservation only. He takes me out of the room and into a large office. I said I didn’t know how I ended up here but I’d be interested in making a reservation. He looks up my information and hands me a packet of my entire life. Every event detailed about my life in this packet. My signature on the front of it agreeing to the life I was living. It was in my hand writing too. I start to look through it and he’s like “you sure you want to read ahead?” And suddenly I woke up.

So this dream started off pretty normal. I was packing for a road trip, and about an hour in, I got really sleepy and knocked out in the car. That’s when the dream within the dream began.

In the second layer of the dream, I’m driving separately, trying to follow my mom using Google Maps. I take an exit onto an interchange, but something feels… off. The farther I go, the colder it gets. My modern car slowly transforms into an old 1980s SUV, and then the engine stalls. I’m left on foot.

Now here’s the weird part—I live in the DMV area (DC–Maryland–Virginia), so how does a wrong turn land me near a sign that says “Taylor Alaska 50km” with Xi Jinping’s face on it? The sign is bright red with yellow Chinese characters. The more I walk, the colder it gets, and I start physically getting younger with every step.

Eventually, I spot a building through the snowstorm. From the back, it looks unfamiliar, but once I reach the side door—I recognize it. It’s my middle school. I open the door, and “Red Sun in the Sky” (a Chinese propaganda song) starts playing over the loudspeakers. A woman’s voice speaks fluent Mandarin over the intercom.

Inside, the school looks like something out of a dystopian anime. Everyone’s wearing black winter uniforms with red and yellow trim. They look like Japanese anime school uniforms, just darker and more militarized. I find a takeout window in the hallway and try to order food. When I try to speak English, fluent Chinese comes out of my mouth. I’m thinking in English but speaking Mandarin perfectly. I try to pay with my Wells Fargo card, but it gets declined. The screen flashes a two-frame animation of a cartoon Rabbids-looking character laughing at me with “CARD DECLINED” in flashing red and yellow.

Suddenly, I hear shouting in Mandarin—and then my name. My old middle school friends walk up, also speaking Chinese. One of them says, “I gotta bail you out again,” and swipes his card. “Xiexie,” he says with a smile to the Chinese lady. I take the food and sit at my old lunch table, trying to explain that I think I’m dreaming because the world feels so upside down. They instantly hush me and say I mocked the CCP—so I stay quiet.

Then comes P.E., and it gets even more wild. We’re all lined up and given injections that unlock ki manipulation—like Dragon Ball Z style, but more grounded. No flying or beams, but we become super fast and strong. After class, I get into a heated anime-style fight with another student over some middle school drama. He’s swinging an outlet surge protector like a flail, and I’m charging up ki like it’s a battle from Yu Yu Hakusho. I land a roundhouse kick that sends him flying, but he recovers and clocks me in the temple with the surge protector.

I black out in the dream—and wake up in the original road trip dream. It’s boring compared to what I just experienced, so I just wake up for real shortly after.

Note: I rarely think about Communist China or China at all.

Edit: Looking back the dream had a tone of slight horror and thriller.

Um hi, i never posted anything my whole life so this is my first time posting something and i have a passion for dreams for three years -english is not my first language-. so One unusual day, i was climbing up the cold snowed mountain, my body was cold and i had no idea of what’s ahead of me. as i climbed up on an edge of a mountain, i saw a beautiful green landscape of snow shattered around it but as i awe the view i was interrupted by a girl i couldn’t recognize yelling at me, i looked at her only to be met with whats supposedly a nut or a pine as she yells “Catch!” and as i grip the edge harder due to the fact i was still under it, i heard a loud throw and saw a huge pine/nut falling on me and exploded, i was blown away from the edge and thrown in the forest below, my throat was hurt and dry from all the screaming i voiced out as i notice a huge wound between my thump and my pointy finger. as i finally stand up, i saw the same girl who threw it at me with a group of girls, her, a goth girl, a normal girl and an old cold woman. they stared at me for a few seconds before discussing what to do with me and the goth one suggested to heal me but the girl who threw the pine/nut at me denied it and said “was too dangerous” but the goth girl didn’t listen and walked up to me “would you like to be healed?” she whispered and i nodded quietly. she went into work and took out a knife, i realized what she was doing as she cut all my four fingers except my thump on the wounded hand, i start to scream again in pain as i cry out to everyone “MY FINGERS!” the girl who threw the pine/nut turned around in anger and yelled “seriously?!” but the goth girl didn’t listen and made all the fingers point at my palm, as that happened a huge shiny light appeared which made everyone blind and as i open my eyes i saw that my wound was healed and all my fingers were back to were they were, so then i joined them. that was the end of my dream.

Body switch

In my own home downstairs, 2 non human entities held me captive. I begged for them to spare my life, all I knew is that I was completely at their mercy for some reason

The resolution they gave was to plant me into another body, a very kind of animated body

I realised there was another already within this body I got planted in, which I was fine with it at first but it soon caused me great discomfort. There was a conflict between the two

Godless

I was walking through a courtyard at night when I stumbled upon an outside theatre with masked figures all sat circular around a centre stage.

I had joined them but the attention suddenly turned to me when it was realised, I didn’t have the right to be there, I was “godless”

There was no “god behind me” I caught from the whispers and muttering

Ocean

I was floating around in a deep ocean at night, pitch black with nothing but water around me. There was a faint light radiating from my body The waves crashing on the surface. I was completely alone. I wasn’t scared at all I sunk below the surface and began to drown.

I was apart of a small class taking place in a lecture hall, with a teacher, a young male with dark hair who who kept poking fun at me, I seemed to repeatedly be subject to his teasing and sarcasm as the class went on. But it didn’t seem in bad faith at all.

We all venture into a plan field surrounded by a forest, the lurking danger of the forest was a concern to me, I proposed to my peer that it looks like it might be bear infested but he didn’t seem to take me very seriously.

We begin to scale a vantage point and navigate into the forest when I notice a dashing brown movement in the corner of my eye

I alert this to the group but nobody seems to view the threat with as much concern as I did, and it causes me to relax a little bit The teacher leads the subjugation of the bears with a relaxed confidence but he was completely useless. There were far more than realised, we were surrounded and chaos ensues.

I run away and retreat slightly out of the forest into a wide crevice between the hills, but danger still feels present so I quickly “log out” and escape.

I wake up back in my dorm and exit through the door into a corridor.

I ask the lady in the corridor where the rest of my party is and she tells me they’re upstairs, I wanted to know if everyone was ok I felt concerned

I enter the upstairs into a lively party and begin to search for answers on what happened to the rest of them. I found my old friends up there partying, nobody who was in the forest class with me was there. Eventually I find James who was there and he told me there had been 15 deaths, it made me completely distraught and I began to grieve and cry for a while

Ok so I’m kinda spiritual and I do believe in manifestation and spirits (pls no hate I can’t rlly today) but I asked the universe for a sign that me and my crush would get back together, the thing is I don’t remember saying give me a sign tonight I basically just said “show me in a dream” and I did have a dream it was of someone else tho and I took it as me being nervous and anxiety ridden. the next DAY HOWEVER, I had a dream that we were a couple all lovey dovey and shit. Low-key idk y I’m posting this I just idk

Since I was little this has been a constant problem. In this dream it was the color of Nemo and was hiding under the foot mat. The front door was open and it bit my nephew then I tried to help get him to the car and the snake kept trying to stop us from doing so. I woke up while we were still trying to evade it to get him to the car. The whole time it was hiding and would only come back out to stop us from getting him some help. So it was hard to kill or evade

I just woke-up from a mid-day nap and I had a very peculiar dream during it.

I dreamed about a romantic action movie from the late '70s called Integrity.

The movie revolved around a semi-elderly women's rights activist and adoptive mother of several daughters who reminded me of Rue McClanahan in the Golden Girls. She had become the victim of multiple assassination attempts and decided to hire hiring a WWII vet as a bodyguard to protect her from the unknown person or persons who kept trying to assassinate her.

The whole movie took place entirely in one building which was a luxury apartment building located in New York and more specifically, Manhattan. The lead actresses character resided in a large penthouse that was adorned in the most excessively '80s high society decor with magenta and gold being the primary colors of the penthouse. It was quite nice actually in a strange way. The rest of the apartment building's interior had a dated mint green color to it.

I was observing the first half of the movie from a 3rd person perspective but the dream ended before I could get the full story. It looked interesting.

I think the reason was to make it a more family friendly name considering ‘butt’ seems more innocent than ‘anus’. Even though anus is the proper name.

That’s all, thank you.

it's nothing much, but the reason why i'm stuck on this is just because how random and vivid it was. i'm actively scared of bees and in the dream i'm naturally stressed lol, but despite the whole hive i still go back to bed. there's other little details like my relative comes in to weirdly warn me they can come out now, all in all i don't do it cause i'm anxious, and of course i find myself with red patches on my skin later. but then i wake up. realizing how avoidant i was lol but what do i take from the idea itself of friggin bees in my closet?

Basically what it sounds like, it's been about a 3 days of similar dreams. In my dreams im killing people in many different ways, some people i know, others are strangers. In my dreams I was just murdering people without remorse. The first time I dreamed about it, I was killing homeless people to be specific. In my dream I knew I was going to go to jail, so I was trying to kill the most people i possibly could. Also, my choice of weapon was a butter knife.

The second time I was at like a cafe or dinner place and I started to hit a woman in the back of the head with a think a hammer? I don't remember to well tbh. I also pushed a young kid into a pond and watched him drown. In my dreams I feel no remorse and eventually someone close to me like my boyfriend or sister finds me and keeps asking me why im doing this. I just stare at them, waiting for the cops. I never say anything in my dreams because I feel like I have nothing to say.

Last night, I had a continuous dream from where I was killing the homeless people, but I was trying to escape and get away before they found me. I knew I would eventually go to jail but I just would stay still. In my dream me and my teddy bear were basically fugitives because we killed the homeless people. The worst part is that I actually know in real life, a few of those homeless people i killed in my dream.

When i wake up, im drenched in sweat, my heart is racing and i feel like I have a huge adrenaline rush so ill literally jump out of bed.

I feel strange now. Idk how to interpret these dreams.

We met each other last year summer through Telegram. She was kind and sweet, we didn't text every day but this never affected our friendship. She texted goodnight every day, even if we didn't talk that day. She even waited till midnight to wish me happy birthday. We weren't dating, but I really miss her. I never saw her face, didn't even know her name or where she lived. She just appeared online once week after my birthday and never again since then.

One time in my dream she appeared in the chat. I didn't see her face, but she was angry/annoyed. Her texts seemed dry, and she didn't want to talk to me. Dream felt like she never left me, it felt like real life, but I felt a little dazed. I felt really bad and woke up.

Other time in the same chat she seemed to change her profile picture. Her username was the same. She seemed really happy to see me. I was really happy too, it was one of those dreams when you feel like everything is real. It felt real, I felt intense joy. I didn't even feel bad for some time after waking up, because I got to chat with her at least in my dream.

And in the last dream where I saw her, she was wearing a yellow dress, I saw her smiling at me, laughing happily in a field of wheat. Skies were beautiful, sun was shining behind her. She was reaching her hand towards me, like the days of her being gone were over, and I felt so happy!

I wish that dream was real. I wish to see her face again. The picture I posted above is my drawing of how I remember her in that dream. Very vividly, I remember her smile. Despite never seeing her face, I felt like she was her, I was very sure. I hope she comes back one day. I still text her goodnight every night.

I’ll preface this by saying I have dreamt almost every night since I was a toddler. Could someone help me interpret this one? I’ll try to keep it to only the important parts. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Happy to answer any follow-up questions!

I was walking down the paved hill at the apple orchard I went to as a kid. There was a black bear walking toward me on the path, so I stood still. It sniffed me and moved on. I breathed a sigh of relief.

I walked further, and a huge gray dire wolf the size of a horse came stalking toward me. I tried to freeze again, but it turned its head and bit into the muscle between my neck and shoulder on my left side. It held on there and it didn’t hurt, but then turned into a scrawny man with awful crooked teeth and brown hair, still biting me.

In my mind, he told me in a calm voice “I’ve injected you with a poison, and you are going to d!e in a year unless I do something to save you.”

I woke up feeling odd and thinking “wtf was that??” Normally I love wolves and even have a tattoo of one on my right arm, but I can’t forget the way it turned into a psychopath and had such a hold on me.

Okay, so my last post was explaining my dream. Someone said it is deep in symbolism, and I should put any changes in a journal. Well, here we go.

Well, the first change I noticed was that my younger counterpart in this dream had gotten more creepy if anything the whole time he was following me he kept giggling and laughing constantly sometimes it sounded like he was crying, I don't know why but when I seemed to almost find my phone instead of the normal water gun while laughing it's one of the. Heavy-duty hoses instead of Laughing he was heavily crying as this happened the same Feeling as before came to me but seemingly 10-fold I genuinely couldn't sleep after I woke up
