• I had a dream and this is what I wrote afterwards:

  "So today I had the dream where there are monsters in the backyard, but they won't go on the trampoline. The fort the neighbors built in the last dream stayed up. A zombie mimicked my dad and tried to pull me off the trampoline, but was unsuccessful. My dad started on the trampoline but then walked off. I heard my mom say the little black snake on the tiles (stones before the hot tub) was scary but I couldn't see her. My dad said it was nothing. He poked the tile the snake was under and ten more shot out from under it. Then I couldn't see him either. I heard his voice, coming from behind the lilac bush, saying he'd found something interesting. I leaned in to see, and the zombie grabbed my leg and I knew I was alone and my mom and dad were in the house. I grabbed the metal springs of the trampoline and pulled, and the zombie lost his grip. But I wasn't safe anymore; I knew I had to get off the trampoline. I begged a female monster next to me who looked a little like Nifty to find me a safe place. She laughed at me and said okay. We looked around for good shelters. There were four: three sheds and the neighbor's fort. I asked her to take me to the closest shed (the one that always gets groundhogs) so she took my hand and ran. But we didn't make it. Couldn't make it, I knew. So the monster stuffed me in a crate, nailing boards, putting up black fabric so I could see, building it around me. I begged her to tell the other monsters to leave me alone, but she just laughed and said, "I can't grant you immunity." I think I cried. She took me back to the trampoline. There were once boards in front of me but they must've disappeared, and now I was in a crate with black fabric you can’t see through on two sides and fabric you could see through on one. She set the crate in the middle of the trampoline so I could see. You see, this is about fear. If you see the monsters but stay in a safe spot, you're golden. But if you find a spot where you can't see them, they will get in, and punish you for breaking the rules. They have no mercy or ego to appeal to. They will kill you if you let them. So, back to current events, I had a good view of the backyard and house. I saw a spider, though, that was as big as two cats. She (for the spider was perfectly female) climbed onto the trampoline and began to inspect the crate. I saw my shepherd's bone white claws curl as the two spoke. Mine insisted there was nothing of interest in the crate, while the spider said there must be. Then she inspected the crate and saw me through the fabric. She screamed "There’s two kinds of fabric!" and threw my crate into the air, where it shattered against the trampoline and she climbed toward me, chastising me for cheating. I believe she killed me. The dream ended before I truly knew."

  So, do you think it means something?

  • In your dream, the monsters in the backyard represent fears or challenges that you may be facing in your waking life. However, the fact that they won't go on the trampoline suggests that you have found a safe and secure place to confront and deal with these fears. This indicates that you have the ability to protect yourself and maintain a sense of stability even in the face of adversity.

    The fort built by your neighbors symbolizes support and assistance from those around you. It represents the strength and resilience of your relationships, which remain intact even in challenging situations. This suggests that you have a solid support system in your life that can help you overcome obstacles.

    The zombie mimicking your dad and attempting to pull you off the trampoline signifies external influences or negative thoughts that may try to distract or discourage you. However, your ability to resist the zombie's pull indicates your inner strength and determination to stay focused and not be swayed by negativity.

    The little black snake on the tiles represents hidden fears or concerns that you or someone close to you may perceive as threatening. However, your dad's reassurance that it was nothing implies that these fears may be unfounded or exaggerated. This suggests that you have the ability to discern between real threats and false alarms, allowing you to maintain a sense of calm and rationality in difficult situations.

    The moment when your dad discovers something interesting behind the lilac bush and the zombie grabs your leg symbolizes the temptation to explore the unknown or take risks. It also represents the fear of being left alone or unsupported. However, your ability to free yourself from the zombie's grip by pulling on the trampoline's metal springs suggests that you possess the strength and resilience to overcome challenges and protect yourself when needed.

    As you search for a safe place with the female monster, it demonstrates your willingness to seek help and guidance during difficult times. Although the monster initially laughs at your request, her agreement to find you a safe place indicates that there are sources of support available to you, even if they may not be immediately apparent.

    The dream's focus on fear highlights the importance of acknowledging and confronting your fears rather than avoiding them. It suggests that if you remain aware of your fears and face them from a position of safety and strength, you can effectively manage and overcome them.

    The presence of the spider, despite its intimidating size, represents the need to confront your fears head-on. The spider's inspection of the crate and the subsequent revelation of two types of fabric symbolize a hidden truth or aspect of yourself that needs to be addressed. While the spider's actions may initially seem threatening, it can also be seen as a catalyst for growth and self-discovery.

    Although the dream ends before you fully understand the outcome, it signifies the ongoing process of facing your fears and the potential for personal growth that comes from doing so. It suggests that by acknowledging and confronting your fears, you can break free from self-imposed limitations and experience personal transformation.

• I dreamt that I changed my partners name in my phone to coward and he was able to see that on his phone and questioned me about it.

  • Dreams about changing someone's name in your phone and them finding out can represent a feeling of dishonesty or mistrust in a relationship. The fact that you changed your partner's name to "coward" may indicate that you have unresolved feelings of anger or disappointment towards them. Perhaps you feel like they have let you down or have not stood up for you in a situation. Alternatively, it could be a reflection of your own insecurities about the relationship.

    The fact that your partner saw the name and questioned you about it may suggest that there are issues in your relationship that need to be addressed. This dream may be urging you to have an open and honest conversation with your partner about your feelings and concerns. It is important to communicate effectively and work towards resolving any underlying issues in the relationship.

    Overall, this dream may be a reflection of your subconscious feelings about your relationship and the need to address any issues that may be causing tension or mistrust.
