Dreams For Peace 
I was at my boyfriend’s house (which looked completely different in my dream, he lives in a luxury 2 bedroom apartment but in the dream he lived in this house that had at least 4-5 bedrooms & bathrooms). I was sitting with him eating my phone charger cable. I kept saying “it was good and safe to eat” and he told me I could get electrocuted even if it’s not plugged in. He told me to go to the bathroom immediately and throw it up. I was hearing noises downstairs in the kitchen area and tried to ignore it, but told him to come to the bathroom with me anyways and that’s when we both heard the movement and noises get louder and closer. Then he peaks over the ledge where the stairs are and whispers to me nervously but laughing at the same time “yoooo, I think someone is in my house” and that’s when he comes over to stand next to me. We hear the steps getting closer so we lock the door in the hallway we’re in and stand there to listen. Whoever it was walked real slowly to the door and starts to jiggle the door handle. At this point my boyfriend runs into his room and locks it, leaving me outside the door. I begin to panick, the intruder then sprays something over the handle that comes through the cracks a bit and I feel it on my feet, it was like cold air being breezed on me. My first thought was it’s a spray that freezes the knob and keyhole so it can chip right off so he/she could get in. So I screamed, ran into the bathroom behind me and locked it. Then I woke up.
Hi AH,
This dream says that you are giving your boyfriend a lot of space in the relationship (too much). You eat up lots of time in conversation until your charge runs out, but in the end he leaves you for his own safety while you get attacked. Not a great boyfriend when push comes to shove. Time to think of another relationship.
Hi. I had a dream of a dark entity guiding me through a completely dark room in Hell to a pedestal which had an unrolled fiery parchment with ancient writings and symbols I couldn’t decipher written on it. I was not afraid of the dark entity, and I expressed to said entity I felt drawn to the parchment. The entity appeared unsurprised, as if confirming its unspoken theory. I personally believe the entity was Lucifer himself.
Dear Andrew,
When you are not fearful of walking into hell, it means that you have the capacity to assist people who are in a hellish condition. Most people, whose egos overcome them, end up in dark places as if they are in hell. You can go into their situation and read what has happened to them. That is like the parchment. Being able to accompany someone through hell and then back out again takes a special ability. Not everyone has it. You do. It involves having faith in the person’s light or more heavenly side.
I was inside a house babysitting a little boy when the house suddenly began to be filled with what seemed like smoke at first, but it was actually thick clouds. When I opened the door there were black military planes filling the sky and it appeared the US was under attack, as pieces of buildings in the distance were falling. I woke up fearful then fell back asleep and went back into the same dream. This time everyone who had stepped outside was walking towards the airport. There was a message being broadcast over loud speakers that we had to salute in honor of Hitler. The airport was filled with military planes circling low and world leaders were arriving and stepping off of planes. There were strange white clouds filling the sky – everything was white. There was an Egyptian woman playing a drum followed by a group of people wearing white masks and playing tambourines. A very large man wearing a grey skirt with rows of silk ribbon was drawing a lot of attention. The tarmac was filled with leaders from all over the world carrying flags, in their traditional costumes. Inside the airport, furniture (mostly office chairs, desks, bookcases) were being moved. There was a very eerie, ominous sense to the dream.
Dear Kailey,
The little boy you are babysitting is the positive masculine-like energy that wants to be developed inside of you. This is the part of you that has a lot of strength and goes strongly for positive visions. The problem is that when you think of developing this aspect of yourself, you are so overcome with fear of negative militaristic authority or leadership. What you need to do is to let go of those images because, despite what you hear on the news, they are not as real as what journalists suggest. When you work on your inner strength you will be able to get to whatever goals you choose that are really positive and are beneficial to others. It is important that they are helpful to the whole and not self-oriented like so many leaders of the past have been.
I had a dream that I was in a relationship and inlove with this boy I’ve never even met in person. I only know of him because he’s my exes friend.. i’ve never thought about him in that way or anything
Dear Nana,
The reason that you have this kind of dream is that your being wants you to start thinking and acting on possibilities related to relationships. You can let yourself be open to more, and then you need to act on it by initiating contacts. It seems like your being is seeking more experience with relationships.
I had a dream that I went to my ex partners flat. He opened the door in his horrible green nightgown. I seen his things as he opened and showed me with a smile. I went in upstairs and my child was there (our child). My mother then appeared with my sister to babysit. I was really annoyed with this. My mother tried talking to me but I wasn’t interested. I went downstairs and my ex followed me. Next we were outside going into a car (am not sure whose car). We were going to work away together. Then I woke up. His flat was pretty dark and outside was starting to brighten but still a little dark as it was early morning.
Dr MJ,
This dream shows that your life is still influenced or controlled by your ex-partner much more than you would like it to be. While your life is brightening up, his darkness still has its affect. It is like you carry him with you. The goal for you which is the goal of the dream is to live more of your own life in your own way. As you do it, and detach more from him, then your life will become much brighter.
Thank you very much for exlaining this for me.
I was seeking dream interpretation
You can send the dream to me.
I dreamt that I was invited to the first birthday party,of the child that I had given up for adoption. The adopting parents invited me and a lot of my family members. I remember it being real l hard for me to deal with.. I wanted to tell her who I was but due to the agreement I would, i couldn’t. I feel like this is the second part to the dream I had when I had to give her away after birth. The child was happy, she didn’t engage with the adopters much, she looked nothing like me… She was sort of nonchalant like any normal one year old , but a little mature …im having a hard time figuring this out could u help me?
Dear Davonna,
Could you let me know if you had a child in real life that you gave up for adoption or is this just in the dream. Then I can interpret it for you better.
Hi, I have never put a child up for adoption.
I’m studying a course for a job I always wanted to do. I’m at the end of the course and have been having fear, doubts and anxiety. I had a dream what while doing work placement the trainer was happy with my workout and received good feedback within my training
What may this mean?
Dear Lea,
A dream like this is about you have a lot of confidence in what you are doing and moving forward with it. A lot of times anxiety happens in this kind of process which is your mind making up an illusion that just isn’t true, but you cannot help yourself from believing it. The mind is insistent on the negative image until you have confidence. Review all of the positive things you have done and play over and over in your mind. Positive memories and then action is the antidote to anxiety. The dream is encouraging you forward.
i always have the same dream where im doing the same thing but the place changes. i used to have very long hair but i cut it short last year.
i will be walking to somewhere i know in real life and its always a place that would take me an hour or so to walk to and it only takes me two minutes to walk there in my dream and i have short hair now but it used to be long and in my dreams i let my short hair down and it turns long and i run my fingers through my hair while im walking
Dear Kennedy,
Hair in a dream is a symbol of spiritual power. Despite your hair being short in real life, your spiritual hair or spiritual power is very long and positive. When you use your spiritual power, it allows you get to where you are going in your life much faster. When you think that you don’t have it, the journey to where you want to go may be much longer. The dream is telling you that you have this kind of power. Spiritual power, in this case, is the sum total of all your positive qualities. You have a lot of them. The important thing is to remember them and use them.
Hi,
I saw a terrifying dream yesterday night. I had a large circular wound on one of my cheeks. It was not bleeding. No pus either. Just a pink fleshy wound that looks like a crater. I remember being very anxious and scared because i did not know where it came from. Can you please explain to me what this dream meant? Thank you.
Dear Whyworryweb,
A large wound on your cheek is something that is visible to everyone else. There is practically no way to hide it. It suddenly appears and you don’t know where it came from. This type of dream is best understood in where it is trying to take rather than how the crater-like wound got there. It is trying to take you to the positive opposite. The opposite is that you have an invisible power inside of you that when you use it in the world is going to affect everyone’s life in a beautiful way. Generally speaking that kind of power is the ability to see positives in others, even positive energy that they don’t see, and acknowledge it. Acknowledging it makes it come out more. The more you use this ability the less fear you will have about being out in the world.
I had a wierd dream where I was in a school bathroom; it looked like my elementary school in long island. I was confused in the dream, I looked at myself in the mirror and I was MORBIDLY obese. In real life I’m a little overweight but since I’m tall, its not really noticeable.
In the dream I looked closely at my face with triple chins, my huge arms and my stomach. I was shocked and kind of disgusted. I was wearing a red dress like muu muu that was super ugly. I was beyond confused. A lady was trying to talk to me and I didn’t answer her.
I peeked out of the bathroom and people were trying to talk to me but I didn’t answer any of them. Not sure why. A little boy of about 11 or 12 was standing at the doorway of one of the classrooms as other kids were milling around the classroom doing kid stuff behind him.
He thought I was deaf because I wasn’t answering anyone and I just looked confused, so he began to sign to me. I don’t know what he was signing but he kept insistantly signing the same thing over and over again.
I am not deaf and I only know the ASL sign language alphabet. I can’t remember the motions he was signing either.
Dear Lucy,
This dream is about the tendency you have to take minor weaknesses and blow them up in your mind. When you do the blowing up and it takes over you at times, then you are not able to communicate with people as if you deaf. People regard you as deaf. The solution of the dream is to do opposite which is to blow up your strengths. When you blow up your strengths or positive qualities in yourself, then your communication will be amazing with them. This is a basic principle in development that things proceed well when you focus on your strengths. The weaknesses can be worked on gradually, but the focus you need now is on your positive qualities. You can list them and repeat them to yourself.
It started out as this big party out neighbor was having except out fence was gone and it was just me and my mom at home and we heard loud music so we looked out the window and it was a bunch of adults dancing and someone of the people were in our backyard and some on the trampoline And we were watching from it morning room window But then it started to change and elephants came into our backyard from our basement but the morning room was normal Then it changed and people started killing each other and then tigers appeared out of no where and started attacking the people and our windows Then all of the blood covered people and animals kept attacking the windows trying to get in so we closed the curtains but couldn’t leave the morning room But they couldn’t get in So me and my mom just sat there but then remember yesterday I sent you the video of my brother and the doorbell Well where he was sitting yesterday I saw a woman So now she could leave and she went to check and I begged her not to cause I know how it ends in scary movies but she still went And then I’m not sure exactly what happened but I think she was one of the murderous people but didn’t try and kill us but told my mom something and then my mom came back down And then idk the people got in and were trying to get us and it was scary and I don’t remember exactly but we watched people die Like in my dream I literally watched a bunch of murders And then it changed somehow and My dad came back but it wasn’t actually my dad and I was living in a South Indian home and my mom and dad were different and then there were 3 sets of twin girls (I was in a set) but mine didn’t look like me and 3 sets of twin guys and at first I thought it was one big family but the guys weren’t related And then it was like the future where we were running on limited water and oxygen so they had a machine that fast forwarded things for us so we would take up less of both and in the morning the mom set up how everything would go and then everything happened faster And one of the things she did was assign each person to One of the opposite sex and I’m pretty sure that meant she was assigning them to have sex so then I realized the twin girls and boys weren’t related but thank god I don’t remember that part well but it ended with the boys and girls twins having their hair braided into each other And then at the end it turns out my real dad was a director for a movie and this was all a movie and none of the murders were real but he wanted a genuine reaction from me so he didn’t tell me But I hated him and then it ended
I sent that to my friend so by the doorbell thing I meant that it was on the second floor m’s hallway
Dear Ally,
The purpose of the dream is actually to help you get to your joy in your life as if life is more like a party. The things you experience like the elephants, the tigers, the murder, and then forced sex like a forced marriage are things that are metaphorically in your imagination if you don’t do what your father tells you to do in life. He seems to be making things up like a movie to scare you into doing what he wants you to do in your life. It is a way parents use to scare children so that the children will do what they want them to do. In the meantime you are not allowed to fully experience your own joy because if you have your own joy, then you might just do what your own will dictates in your life. The better way to live your life is to experience your own joy, respect the opinions and experience of your parents, and realize that your life is your responsibility in the end. You have your own destiny which you have to be in charge of.
I have already graduated high school and college, but I keep having this dream where I’m in school. Closer towards the end of the semester or graduation, I realize that I have been forgetting to go to one class. I never complete the dream in which I am able to see what steps I took in order to redeem myself or to see the consequences of my forgetfulness
Dear Alexandria,
What this dream says is that there is a class in life that you have forgotten to go. It is not a class that you would normally find in school, no doubt. Usually in real life this class is the one on human relationships because most schools do not teach you anything about it and do have it as part of the curriculum despite the fact that human relationships is the most important curriculum of your life. 2nd place to relationships is way far away. Spend your time now on it and it will make you successful in whatever you do.
Thank you so much for your assistance! I woke up from a dream that took place in my home, currently I reside with my 6yo daughter, father and brother. Also in the home was my ex who is the father of my daughter and his friend. All of a sudden my sister arrives with her child hood family friend and both are distraught and almost inconsolable, next thing I know 2 men have snuck into the home, I direct my ex to kill the invaders as I assumed they were linked to the panic of my sister, next it seems that I left the scene for what actually happened next, next thing I knew I was at a clean up crime scene with 1suspect dead in the bathroom and the other survived and fled, the most concerning part takes place when seeing the clean up, the dead body was in a big black bag and I accidentally brush against the body filled bag with my foot and felt the warmness of a fresh dead body, but the sensation was strong and as real as can be, I even thought to myself in the dream,”wow they literally just killed him as he is still warm” the perpetrator in real life is actually a celebrity who just had a child in real life and in the dream I remember even considering a new baby just lost a father, my ex tells me the one who got away will be back again for revenge and I think to myself, we must relocate then, shortly after undercover detectives pull up into the driveway and I slightly panic about the unfinished clean up scene and the future of my ex but remember the stand your ground law and hope for the best and I awake.
Dear Juliana,
This dream tells you two things. First it says that you are really good at a crime scene, which means that you have the positive quality of being able to figure out how things go wrong or how to analyze a negative situation in life. What you are not good at is how to deal with the invaders or the perpetrators. You have the fear that the negative power oriented people are going to come after you. You even try to get your ex to help which probably isn’t such a brilliant idea. The first step is for you to recognize in yourself just how gifted you are in your mind to be able to figure out things. The second thing is to remember exactly what you were trying to remember in the dream that you can stand your ground. This means that you do not allow people to invade your space and take over it. If you stand your ground, they will start being afraid of you rather than the other way around. Once you can stand your ground in life, just about anything is possible especially with your keen mind.
Okay sorry I had a dream and it was a black lady and she had a baby coming out of her….. And the baby was dead with a arrow coming out of her and she could not get it out. And she was chasing me laughing………..
Sorry about the last one used auto voice texed and it messed it up.. Thanks
Dear Mary,
In this dream the dead baby in her is the part of her potential that has been struck down in life. When people like her have had this happen where there potential is in a dead state, then they tend to be aggressive to others. It is a way for them to feel powerful. What their souls really want is to have the potential realized that they think is dead so that they can be empowered to do positive things in life. The difficulty is that they just seem evil or bad when they are chasing you. In the spiritual sense a dead potential can be re-ignited or brought back to life, but someone like yourself has be able to see what the potential is in someone and then start helping them develop their abilities. It seems like part of your mission in life is to help people like her to get to her real potential, but first you have let go of the fear of her aggressive tendencies. The aggression in the dream is probably not physical as in the dream, but in real life it would probably be more like verbal aggression. If you let it go and see a person’s true reality as in where they really want to go, then you could change the whole world. Very few people can do this. You have the potential to do it.
I had a dream of a black lady as she like a little boys with the baby hanging out of her dead and would not come out with an arrow going through it she was chasing me
I just had a dream where i was very anxious like i was running from something and i was doing a task but i was doing it wrong and my dog was with me and i got very distressed and got a phone call on my cell phone where it sounded like a very sinister female voice saying “the dead are coming” and then i woke up
Dear Sophie,
The purpose of this dream is to show you the issue you have when you set out on trying to accomplish some important tasks. You get anxious as if someone is going to get you, like the dead (which are people who seem kind of soul-less) What is helpful is start out the important work by remembering positive things in the past, no matter how small, where you were successful and competent. This will put you in a state of confidence to go forward and bring life to what you are doing. What is happening when you are anxious is most illusion. Bringing life and confidence to a task ensures it of success almost always.
I keep dreaming of a guy, I can never see his face. I am always straddling him( sitting position),half undressed( either in my bra or top off) , I always remove his shirt; but he never makes a move, always looks calm, composed and looks at me expectantly, almost as if saying or expecting something. And that’s the dream ends every single time. He has great abs and a body. He looks powerful: I don’t understand the dream because I have always been single and I really don’t know why I dream this same dream repeatedly. One time he told me “Don’t start something you can’t stop”
The dream feels so real every single time.
I’ve dreamt of this same almost 5 years now.
Dear Rhea,
It is really best if you can see this dream as a kind of metaphor for your life rather than a sexual encounter with a guy. In real life if you were to do this, almost every guy would react by either accepting you and going for it or rejecting, but almost none would sit there calm. So this is a metaphor about when you show yourself and want to have a reaction from them, you are either fearful of or get a kind of non-response. It would keep you from really going forward with putting yourself into a situation where you have to show yourself and try to get a reaction. In this case, you have to let go of what you get from the dream and just go for it like you do in the dream. (Not exactly like the dream, but you know what I mean)
dreamt of slicing a big ripe red tomatoe sitting at a table with others .
Dear Vinve,
This is a metaphor for enjoying life and taking it all in fully. Do not miss out on life.
we were going on a class trip to the ocean. a friend I have not seen in a long time (bethany) came up behind me while I was standing on the pier alone. “the sunset is gorgeous” she told me. she then put her arm around me. “just like you.” she said with a smile. “I’ve missed you.” she continued. she looked at me for a moment. then KISSED ME!!
then the scene changed and we were on the pier the next day. she had her arm over my shoulders. and was saying something I could not hear. then she ran away.
then the scene changed again. to the plane ride home. I was in the back seat next to you. bethany was up 2 rows next to the window.
you looked at me and said. “I saw the way you looked at her.” then I woke up.
Just be clear, are you saying that I was the one who spoke to you.
yes. I’ve never met you. but I’ve seen you.
I have prophetic dreams a lot…
I scare my friends.
I don’t have many. the last one I saw my friend’s room. I’ve never been in. I can describe it perfectly.
you gave me this website.
you told me to look it up.
Dear Confused,
What this means for you is that you have some pretty incredible energy and powers. You can get almost anything you set your mind on, but you have a tendency to back away once it starts getting into too deep and so the object of your quest gets further away. The only thing you really have to be careful about is the purity of your motive because you cannot use this kind of gift in a negative way for your own selfish purposes. You need to use it so that you can benefit humanity. Just let go of what holds you back in using your abilities and you will find yourself doing incredible things. Having prophetic dreams means that you can see the future. You can also do this when you are awake if you let yourself do it, but you can do it this way. You can imagine the most positive outcome you can think of and then go for it. Then that future will come true. Not very many people have this ability, but you do. So go for it.
thank you. that was very helpful.
oh hey, dreamsforpeace. don’t get any red drinks in your car for a while. please trust me on this one. you spill it. then wreck. then it is mistaken for blood. then you wind up in the hospital getting a blood transfusion you don’t need. that was my dream last night. also nice car ;).
Thanks, I love it when people are dreaming about me. I am going to work on this metaphorically. I am trying to figure out what a red drink would mean.
