Sometimes I feel like powerful entities visit me in my dreams to sort of check me out, since on the nonphysical I’m said to be pretty strong. Except I have very little experience fighting entities who actually understand the physical plane and have powers as well so I always get my butt handed to me by them One was in my dream last night and she trapped me and made me play these weird gambling games for the fate of humanity. I remember telling one of her other prisoners about some dice she had made me roll and terrified he said that those dice could seal the fate of a quarter of the human race.
Anyways I ended up winning all her games-I think-because I could influence which way the dice fell. I think she got bored of me and left eventually because it ended up becoming a normal dream again. I know this is a weird belief…whatever…
I have dreams like these… they feel like tests… with 4th wall breaks… then i wake up but dont feel like i slept good… i think having to use problem solving on cryptic puzzle dreams ruins the sleep quality…
Yeah same. Back a while ago I was put through all these trials…very stressful. Ever since I started getting powers in my dreams from time to time things seem to show up that are different from my other dream characters to “test” or examine me. It’s unnerving. I think sometimes they’ve even tried to train me, though most do not do so in a very nice way, it’s sort of a “learn fast or have the crap beaten out of you” kind of deal. Not all have been mean though.
Like I remember the first time it happened I was 12 or 13 and in the dream I was at a school dance at night with my friends when the gym coach and his girlfriend went crazy and started shooting everyone. My friends and I ran out but I’m a slow runner so they were catching up. Then I remembered I could fly and hopped up and flew over the fence into someone’s backyard to hide. I landed in a leaf pile and suddenly the entire dream changed. It was as vivid as real life, I could feel the cool air and the crackling leaves beneath me. There was a large tree in front of me and it caught on fire, only the fire was bright blue. And a woman formed from the flames. She sounded very warm and kind and told me she was impressed with me and that I had great potential, that she would be watching and I had her blessing. Then she said goodbye and I woke up. I never forgot that. Have never seen her again though.
It is stressful… i had a dream where id get out of bed…walk down the stairs…open the fridge… and be back in my bed…to walk down the stairs…on a loop… it took me 4 cycles to realize i was even dreaming… plus they started to cackle at me everytime i had to start back over… they laughed even harder when i realized it was a dream… its like being on a game show but im barely smart enough to even realize im being tested…
Yep that was the trials for me, I wasn’t allowed to wake up until I beat them. (When I did wake up I was completely exhausted) They all had different themes and were precluded by strange events that happened when I was awake. Horrible. I don’t like talking about them too much as it was during a traumatic time in life for me in general. But yeah, always made me wonder if there weren’t other forces at work there.
I mostly read nonfiction books now. Last time I read fiction was years ago. Don’t remember the last time I watched a scary movie. Hasn’t been for a while either.
Definitely haven’t seen anything with remotely any of those themes that were in the dream.
most myn family that has entered the next life visit my dreams and teach me.
thank goodness.
like you i feel i was beat.
i think as i got use to the psychosis my feelings settled down.
granted last time, my sister was passing away, or dad, anyway, i panicked and likely looked insane.
however i just keep dressing up, smiling, and trying to prove i am sane now.
