3 dreams in 9 hours


before i start, please flush all your emotions away and shut your brain down. just keep an open mind and don't ask me anything.

MY FRIEND AND I WERE RUNNING. away from something. she led me to a small shed somewhere on the grass beside a road. soon after, a few topless, finely-built men entered. ok. so not a few. many, in fact. they were all looking at me. not giving me any looks, not even confused, or whatever. just looking at me. i felt that something was not right. my friend then gave me a guilty look. i then ran out of the shed, screaming for help, the men chasing after me. i then ran into my 'Godbrother and his fiance'(i don't have a godbrother in real life. but somehow, i knew he was my godbrother). they brought me home and kept me safe. the police were informed, and a detective was assigned to keep me safe. wherever i go, she had to escort. a few times, i spotted one or two of the men just watching me from a distant. one day, something happened and 2 police cars were assigned to protect me. one of the police cars, however, were filledd with traitors. the traitors then took a shortcut and arrived to me first. when i knew it, a very bright light had blinded me and i closed my eyes. i was surrounded. someone grabbed me, and another tried to gag me with a small towel. however, i turned away, and when i opened my eyes, i found myself under my blanket, and my sister sitting on our bed. it seemed that my sister was getting ready for school, and the blinding light was my sister switching on the light in our room. nonetheless, i was deeply terrified, and i prayed that nothing like that happen to me or anyone. it was terrifying, being grabbed by strong hands, with nowhere to go, and almost being gagged. the dream went on much longer than this, actually. i just forgot some unnecessary details.


I WAS IN SCHOOL. outside class, arranging papers. the environment looked like that in MI. my girlfriend approached me and talked about a guy she has taken a liking to, and was wondering if he was giving her hints. i then saw the boy in the conversation standing nearby, waiting for my friend. she got excited, and she went with him. another boy then approached me, and we started talking. the scene then changed to a fast-food restaurant. someone gave us a big treat. before we started eating, the treat-er started a lecture on eating a lot. however, noone listened to him and just went on eating and talking amongst themselves. yes, this dream is redundant. it is, however very weird, and i can't find any meaning to it, except maybe that i tend to eat too much without any care in the world, sometimes. hmm..


I WAS AT HOME. in my room. my dad kept entering my room and just sitting on my bed, watching my television without my permission. there was once, i was changing, and my dad barged in, when i was topless. ok. not topless. wearing just my bra and pants, and about to put on my T-shirt. i just sat down, leaning my side against my wardrobe, and my T-shirt just covering my other side, and crying. my dad wanted to console me, but i just kept crying and he finally went out of my room.



i know the first and third dream have to have a meaning behind it. i just don't know what. maybe my third dream is about my privacy always being intruded into.. not by my dad, but i'm not sure why he's the one i hate in there. maybe i just feel uncomfortable being around him, now that i'm a teen-aged girl and i have things i can't share with a man. and it doesn't help that the ladies in the house are not exactly attentive of my needs.




Rape Dream Meaning
Psychological Meaning: For a man this may be a sadistic expression of sexual desire. It may show feelings of vengeance towards the opposite sex. For a woman this dream may represent fears of sex or masochistic fantasies.
Mystical Meaning: Even the Victorian dream books cover this topic. Superstition claims that if a woman dreams of rape her pride will be wounded. You will hear shocking news if you dream that a friend is raped.

To dream that you have been raped, indicates vengeful feelings toward the opposite sex. You are feeling violated in some way or being taken advantage of. Something or someone is jeopardizing your self-esteem and emotional well-being. You feel that someone or something is being forced upon you. Dreams of rape are also common for those who were actually raped in their waking life.To see a rape being committed in your dream, denotes sexual dysfunction or uncertainty.

In general, chasing dreams signify some sort of anxiety, fear, or feeling of entrapment in daily life, such as a stressful job or unhappy marriage. Chasing dreams are literally "fight or flight" situations where you choose "flight." These dreams don't occur if you have faced and dealt with whatever it is you fear during waking hours.
Can you get away from your pursuer? If yes, then you are anxious for sure, but subconsciously you feel you can handle whatever the problem is. If no, you likely feel there is no easy escape for the anxiety-provoking situation, and you likely feel trapped and helpless. Many people report being chased in slow motion during dreams. This represents your dream strategy to buy time to come up with a way out. If you are completely stuck in the dream, it signifies that you are frozen inside with no idea which way to turn.

Where are you being pursued?

Chasing dreams very often signify vulnerability. When trying to interpret such a dream, look inward first - it may turn out to be your own demons haunting you. Whether internal or external, try to pinpoint what exactly it is that is making you feel insecure or threatened, and take positive steps to relieve the pressure. Do write down any conclusions you come to and revisit that page in your journal in a few weeks to see if the issue has been reduced or resolved.

i have also experienced this:
Sleep Paralysis:
Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which the person involved is unable to perform voluntary movements as the result of brief, partial or complete muscle paralysis. It usually occurs while lying in the supine (face up) position at the onset of sleep or upon awakening. Sleep Paralysis is described by the people who have experienced it as “terrifying” because they don’t understand what is happening to them. Sometimes hypnogogic (occurring in the state of intermediate consciousness preceding sleep) hallucinations are present during episodes of SP which makes the victim feel as though someone is sitting on their chest trying to crush or suffocate them. In certain instances they may also feel as if they are being bitten or choked and the presence is often described as threatening and malevolent. This type of occurrence is more commonly called the “Hag Phenomena”. Although the research and knowledge on this phenomenon is very limited, it has been happening to people for thousands of years and it has recently been discovered that 25 to 30 percent of the population has experienced a least a mild form of SP in their lifetime. We still do not know exactly why SP occurs but research has finally been able to explain what is physically happening to us during an episode.
What can cause Sleep Paralysis?
It is believed that the hallucinations during Sleep Paralysis are a result of a malfunction in the normal REM state of sleep. During a normal REM state, our brains send a message to the rest of our body to turn off or cease our regular motor functions so we are unable act out our dreams which could cause us to harm ourselves. Research has shown one possibility that the brains neurons fail to remind the body that it is presently awake resulting in paralysis or muscle atonia. Other things that may factor into this type of experience are:
•Falling asleep on your back
•Stress
•Sleep Deprivation
