A passing Dreamer · 1y
So hey, dream stuff. Uhh...this one's not pleasant! Hope you don't mind too much, and no pressure to respond/analyze. I've had a strangely recurring theme of my dreams for a long time now and it's uh...kinda frightening!! I'll toss out a quick death talk cw for everything beyond this point, hopefully none of it shows up in the tweet itself.
Yeah, um. I've had a LOT of dreams involving seeing people die, hearing about people I know passing away, or in some cases being killed myself. My actual experience with death is honestly very shallow, it's hard to chalk it up to any sort of trauma. I've always had a particularly strong fear of guns, but I mean, that's not exactly irrational - They make sudden loud noises and turn people into bodies, categorically scary.
I'm getting into detail at this point, so it's gonna start getting troubling: Most recently, there was one where I was shot in the back of the head, and I distinctly remember my head flinching violently in response to that irl (I also have a tic so there could be some connection there...) I've had a dream where I was seeing an open-casket funeral for 3 girls I didn't recognize, when suddenly some REALLY weird rigor mortis kicked in and all the bodies kicked out of the caskets/platforms and just started writhing on the floor. One of their heads just fell off like it was never attached. There's one where I saw a best friend get shot in the head and fall backwards with just a...wide-eyed, dead stare. There's one where I was in a plane that was about to crash, and one where a nuclear bomb was about to drop in whatever downtown I was in. Those ones ended with me waking up.Again, no pressure to respond to this, especially publicly. This is someone you know, so if you'd prefer to chat about this one in private, I'll toss you a message.
These themes all sound very, very familiar... Very particular wordings too.
The plane crash and nuclear bomb themes are ones I'm a bit more personally familiar with. I can say that through my own experience, plane crashes tend to line up during times where in waking life, there is a transitionary period, but there are internal factors holding back from fully committing to a certain Change. Whether that factor is internal, or external, does it feel out of your control?
The nuclear bomb hitting the downtown area has always struck feelings of doom and fear, and not really for my own well being, but for the well being of my friends, family, and the things I know and love. Like this call to drop anything and everything and make sure they all know I always loved them. How does this mirror the feelings you have towards people in waking life? Do you feel a need to reassure them? Reassure yourself? Why?
I'm down to discuss further in private if you'd like!!
