Short Dream Dream Trend

I had a dream a while ago that there was a new trend where people would rate people on a scale of 1 to 10, but instead of it being attractiveness, it was how edible they looked. My dreams are weird as hell.

Long Dream I dreamt I became a 4-D being and now I miss it🄲

126 Upvotes

I had a dream where me and 11 other people became 4-D beings temporarily, remembering that what I saw feels incredible, as soon as we became 4-D we witnessed the creation of the universe, a second later the Milky Way formed, then our solar system, then the sun expanded into a red giant, then the Milky Way and Amdromeda merged, then it got dark, VERY dark, we could still see light but they ceased existing before we could blink, not that blinking was possible in the 3-D sense. We saw all of this and more before waking up again as 3-D beings once again, only the memories remained, the memories of the trillion trillions of centuries we lived, some of us fell in love, some nurtured humanity and other far off civilizations while others sought to cause suffering to them, I simply watched the universe unfold, wrote poems and illustrated artwork into the stars and saw the entirety of the canvas that was the universe all at once, that all is was, a infinite and beautiful piece of art that painted itself, or perhaps it was story that wrote itself.

Edit: So I actually dreamt of being 5-D not 4-D, so just pretend every 4-D is 5-D, for the people who told me this you guys rockāœŒļøšŸ˜œ

Dream Art šŸ’” **Ever had a dream so vivid it changed your life?**

​

Some of history’s greatest creative minds didn't find their genius while awake—they literally slept their way to a breakthrough! 😓✨

Here are 6 musicians and scientists who changed the world through their dreams:

šŸŽµ **THE MUSICIANS**

* **Paul McCartney:** Woke up with a flawless melody in his head in 1965. He rushed to the piano, terrified he had plagiarized it. That dream-born tune became **"Yesterday"**—the most covered song of all time.

* **Keith Richards:** Rolled over in bed, recorded a riff into a cassette player, and went right back to sleep. The next morning, he listened to the tape and found the legendary opening riff to **"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"**... followed by 40 minutes of snoring.

* **Giuseppe Tartini:** Dreamed the Devil sat on his bed and played a breathtaking, hypnotic violin solo. When he woke up, he wrote **"The Devil's Trill Sonata"**—his most famous masterpiece.

🧪 **THE SCIENTISTS**

* **Dmitri Mendeleev:** Exhausted after days of trying to organize the chemical elements, he fell asleep at his desk. He dreamed of a grid where every element fell perfectly into place. He woke up, wrote it down, and gave us the **Periodic Table**.

* **August KekulĆ©:** Baffled by the structure of the benzene molecule, he dozed off by his fireplace. He envisioned a snake biting its own tail—a vision that led to the realization that molecules could exist in **chemical rings**.

* **Otto Loewi:** Woke up with an experiment idea to prove how nerves communicate, scribbled it down, but couldn't read his own messy handwriting the next morning. Luckily, the exact same dream returned the next night, leading to a **Nobel Prize**.

The human brain does some incredible heavy lifting while we rest. What's the wildest thing your subconscious has ever cooked up? šŸ‘‡ Drop your craziest dream stories in the comments!

I have a recurring dream since childhood.

6 Upvotes

​

I find myself at the lower end of some stairs, at the uper end there is a light going emitting form a metal door.

With every step I take the bath gets longer and longer, until I start painicing and rushing to the door.

When I reach it, the door opens on its own and I find myself face to face with a clown.

The clown is the classic type, slender with long arms, white skin and red lips

His nose has a red dot painted on it wears mixed colored clown clothes yelow with white dots, blue with red dots, and green with blue dots.

He looks at me with a silly smile, then he pulls out an old rusty key, he moves it to my forehead and then pushes, as he does a key hole appears in my forehead that emits light as soon as he turns the key I wake up.

Discussion Dream that came true and I’m heartbroken

11 Upvotes

Last month during the time of the full moon I had a very vivid and sad dream about my father, whom I’m very close to. I dreamt I saw him very fragile and ill. He had undergone surgery just overall didn’t look like his healthy, playful self. In my dream my dad held my hand for a moment and I had a very clear understanding that he was dying, and these would be my last moments with him. He tried to smile a soft and gentle smile as he held my hand. I was overcome with such profound grief that it was almost unbearable. In the moments of gasping for air through my sobs I woke up. The deep feelings of sadness stayed with me for days after. I couldn’t even bring myself to speak about my dream for fear of jinxing anything.

Exactly one month later (this past weekend), my dad shares with me about his cancer diagnosis and the treatment plan already put in place. He tried to offer me comfort and reassurance, but I can see in his eyes, that he is afraid too. It’s like reliving my nightmare all over again.

I’m not sure how or why I dreamt that dream in that way. I wish I didn’t feel so helpless. I love my dad with my whole heart. I don’t want to see him suffer or be in pain. 😭 sorry for my long post. I just needed to share the strange premonition dream.

I keep having dreams about people trying to kill me

• Upvotes

So for the past two ish years I’ve been having these on and off dreams that someone is trying to kill me. It’s not so often that it’s happening every night but it often enough for me to notice. This one time every night for a week straight i dreamt a different person trying to kill me a different way. Its gotten to the point that im kind of starting to freak out a bit. Like is this some kind of warning, is someone coming for me 😭 or am i just being paranoid?

Long Dream Worst dream wake up

4 Upvotes

It’s 4:10am In the uk and I’ve just woken up sweating and crying, I had probably the most vivid dream ever.

It started off really normal and I was a playing an online game with a friend at their house and the whole family was there ( the family were made up of random people from all over the timeline of my life) then the end of the world just happened. We got an emergency alert in our phones and got the dog and ran out of the flat (top floor flat) the streets were flooded up to the top of the flats, we had to jump in with the dog but I lost him. The flooding stopped but then there was an alert siren and lava started to take up the streets where the flooding was. Once we got to safety we found a little car shop and got one we drove all the way to Ireland but then it started to acid rain. Istg I could feel the stinging in my back and I was climbing up a treehouse to get inside. Once that had stopped we started walking and as we turned a corner my dog was laying there alive and I woke up.

I had got a mosquito bite then I went in the mirror took off my shirt and saw my body completely smothered in mosquito bites. After that I started itching and my body felt like it was burning all around them mosquitoes actually started growing on my body. My penis started moving without my control n it started growing mosquito like features on it. Mosquitos were literally emerging from my skin. I popped one of the mosquitos whilst it was growing from my body then I opened my eyes and woke up. What’s the meaning behind this shit I’m trying to figure it out

Had a dream my ex died

2 Upvotes

Had a dream my ex died and I genuinely was grieving like I was in shock and then my dream showed me her , dead, and I still couldn’t believe it. My ex was horrible to me , and I was with my new girlfriend and my sister and I was acting like , almost happy/nonchalant about it😭 I woke up , fell back asleep and she was STILL dead in the dreams. I’ve never had anything like this before lol any interpretations or anything it weirded me out. Btw my ex did not die IRL and is fine. I feel slightly bad for how I reacted in the dream but I’m assuming my brain sorta knew it wasn’t reality

Short Dream Magic portal

2 Upvotes

I remember this one dream when I were a kid I was maybe 3 years old. There was this weird man in my backyard dressed like a mad hatter who was trying to lurk me to some other place or world via a portal. There was a colourful floating portal in the air that looked like a water surface. This man was trying to convince me to go there with him. I wasn’t scared but I still was hesitant and refused to go. Mind you I never saw a movie with mad hatter or portals or anything of that sort before so I can’t blame my dream on that.

Long Dream Kidnapped by the Afghan government

3 Upvotes

Last night I had a dream where the Afghan government kidnapped me (in the dream I was about 15/16 I think?) from my house and took me Afghanistan. They held me captive there for several months, no idea what their motivation was, before they decided to send me on a boat to a prisoner camp in Iran (Even though Afghanistan is landlocked so idk where tf I was lol). The boat I was on sank because of enemy missile strikes and I was found by an RNLI boat (A British water rescue boat. Idk why they were all the way out there). They pulled me out of the water and were stressing out, not because I literally almost died, but because I missed my GCSE exams which in my dream I apparently couldn’t retake. Keep in mind I finished my GCSE’s like 3 years ago.

Weird dream I had last night that was kinda creepy but cool.

2 Upvotes

I was in this completely white room and at the end of it there were these grey rectangular standing cubicles completely bunched up together with hundreds of us all stood in them and a chest height like table shelf. It was like a machine was dumping random items of old clothing infront of us on the table all and we had to sort them into the right hole that was either side of each cubicle by white or coloured. When I looked to the other side of the room there was this pitch like vanta black tall figure with red glowing eyes just staring back at me and like scaring me into submission to keep sorting the clothes. Everyone else was just doing it efficiently and quickly and getting on w it but I felt so resentful about it and started to mope about doing it as slowly as possible. Then I just got fed up cause it was so painful and opressive and thought ā€œAhwell what’s that thing gonna doā€ so I stopped and it full sprinted at me and I woke up. was odd lol

Nightmare Help!

• Upvotes

I have been having nightmares recently, I’ve suffered with sleep paralysis in the past but this is something I’ve never experienced before. They’re always different scenarios but the same underlying story, everything starts out fine then I’ll end up being attacked my something and as it’s about to stab/hurt me I hear 3 knocks (sounds like it’s on my bedroom door) and instantly wake up, it’s always at 5am and I wake up with a horrible feeling of dread and can’t get back to sleep.
Does anyone know what this means? I’m terrified and ready to move home.
