Backyard
A backyard in dreams often represents a personal and private space where one can relax, unwind, and take a break from the demands of the outside world. The backyard serves as a metaphorical sanctuary, symbolizing tranquility, peace, and a desire to reconnect with oneself.
Dreaming of a well-maintained and flourishing backyard suggests emotional stability, contentment, and a sense of fulfillment in one's personal life. It may indicate a period of inner growth, harmony, and a strong connection with nature.
Conversely, a neglected or messy backyard may symbolize unresolved emotions, neglected responsibilities, or a lack of self-care. Such a dream could be a gentle reminder to focus on self-improvement, decluttering the mind, and addressing personal issues or neglected relationships.
If the dream involves engaging in activities or gathering with loved ones in the backyard, it may reflect social connections, celebrations, and happy reunions. This could symbolize the need for interpersonal connections, fostering relationships, or the desire to spend quality time with loved ones.
However, the interpretation of specific objects or events within the backyard should also be considered to garner a more accurate understanding of the dream's meaning.
The Mysterious Misfit: A Devilish Dog, Fugitive Manhunt, and a Redmond Dilemma
![We ordered a Newfoundland dog online but what showed up instead was this black big devilish looking dog that was impossible to train. He’d just scratch and not follow instructions, we put him in the backyard. There was some massive manhunt for a fugitive and police even ended up coming behind our fence to search but we weren’t worried because the dog would’ve definitely taken them out. We wanted to return/swap him for a Newfoundland because he was violent and wouldn’t listen but he definitely came in handy there. I then went out with sister and friends to Redmond town center and I was worrying the whole time about the dog and my sister agreed we need to give him back.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/c0e7d0fc-ff1e-46b3-aa97-2f0d2273a1ea.png)

Twins in Search of the Missing, Earrings and Identity; From Trade Shows to Childhood Forts
![I was with one of the Olsen twins. It was hard to tell the difference between the two. We tried to find the other twin, but couldn’t. We looked all around for her.
The Olsen twin I was with was making bespoke earrings. She was having trouble finding people who are interested in buying them. We went to a trade show. We were there for a long time without much interest. Then a famous clothing designer came, and was waiting for someone to talk to him at our trade show booth. A young woman on our team started talking to him, but did not recognize who he was, and sort of blew him off. He started to leave with one or two other people on his team. Someone recognized who he was, I think the Olson girl. she followed him, and made a deal with him for him to showcase our earrings on models. He insisted that the earrings be only used as custom pieces for his models (not for Sale to their public), which was just what the Olsen girl wanted.
Next, we were in the backyard of my childhood house. Nobody had picked up the poop from the dog for a long time. No matter how much I picked up, it seemed like there was always tons more because the grass area was so large. I started on the side and slowly moved toward the center, but it always seemed like the next area was full of poop, a huge amount. I felt like I would never get done.
I was picking up the poop with somebody else who didn’t want to help much. They were having trouble, so I was showing them how to do it.
I looked up in one of the pine trees (in my waking life, there were two pine trees in the yard of my childhood home). I was surprised to see a small fort. It was in a place that we had used to climb up to. However, it was not on the tree at the southeastern side of the lot where John had first figured out how to jump down, but instead it was on the tree pine tree nearest the fort (am I waking life, my father had had built a fort for us). However, we didn’t have the cardboard floors when we were little. The fort was about 4 feet across, placed almost at the very top of the tree, and made out of cardboard. It looked like it had started to slip down and was in bad repair. The cardboard floor was at a 45° angle facing downward. I went closer to look at the fort, and someone showed me that there was a much larger fort. It was supposed to be the same fort, and had slipped all the way almost to the ground. Now it was much larger, maybe 20 feet wide and 8 feet deep.
Next, I showed the person I was with the elevated fort that my dad had built. I was surprised that all four of the 6 x 6 inch wooden posts were still in place. In fact, there were twice as many - two 6 X 6 inch posts at every corner instead of one. I knew that even one 6 x 6 in every corner was far over built for the purpose of a fort. I had thought only one of them four 6X6 posts was left.
As I looked through the foliage to see the fort to show it to the other person, more of the fort began to appear as we looked. The floor showed up and also the trap door (both were part of my childhood fort in my waking life). I knew that the walls had been built so people wouldn’t fall off, though they didn’t appear at this time, but I remembered that they were more like a fence that you could see through (not walls of plywood like the actual fort my dad built in my waking life).](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/c2d2b489-94be-45f8-ab69-0ce02064551d.png)
The Shifting Backyard: From Cars to Chaos, Pursued by Men, and a Surreal Transformation
![I was working in my childhood home. I looked in the backyard and there were fallen cars all around. I turned away because something fell. When I looked again, the backyard looked completely different. It had fresh grass and brick and stone paths. I teleported to the backyard to explore. I continued through the alley and there was this dingy man sitting amongst some broken branches. Staring at me looking at him. I can’t stop looking at him and he yells, “What do you want? Huh?” I turned away and started back to my house. I look back and he’s still sitting angry. I began to run a little bit and now I look back to see that the man is chasing me. He’s catching up fast. I find a pipe or something to hit him with so I could run. He’s about to grab me and I hit him with the pipe. I run away and the more I run, the more everything starts to look like the woods. Now I’m in the woods and I’m jogging. Like it’s a normal day. I look back to see two dirty man following me, one old man and one scrawny young guy. I’m jogging but looking back so I know I’m not in danger. The men come closer to me. I run faster but I know that they’ll catch up. I pull out a large stick thing from a tree I pass and turn around to hit them. I do so harshly. More messy men come from the other direction so I’m surrounded by four men. I fight for a minute until I announce that this is a dream. The men become these women but with a deep headache and they’re crawling to one another. I try to help them and I’m back in the house. This time, I don’t recognize anything around me.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/14f2621a-16bc-486e-b200-c274a96bf6bc.png)
Adventures in the New House: Yard Intruders, Attic Treasures, and Poolside Drama
![My family has moved into a new house. We like the new house. There is a large back yard. When we are out side we see some kids in the neighborhood in our yard and I ask our daughter to talk to them. And mention she may know some kids that live near us. She is spending time with them and then returns. Then the kids are climbing up the side of our house. My daughter says she doesn’t like the kids anymore because she doesn’t think it is safe to climb up the side of the house. I tell her we should find out what they are doing so maybe we can get them to stop. We find out that they are trying to get to the attic where there are toys under the baseboards. We get the toys out and they are all excited. Then we are out in the front yard and I see there is a pool and that we share with the neighbors when we see a teenager from next door arguing with a guy and his friends are standing nearby. My husband was standing near them so he stays nearby. Then is see a hummingbird pecking at the guys back. I try to interrupt to tell the guy, but their argument is too heated. The bird pecks until he starts bleeding. Then because my husband is still standing nearby some of the blood get on him. I’m worried he is going to get into a fight so then I say I need him to help me with something. One of the other guys steps in wanting to know where we are going and I tell him I need my husband to help me get some pie stuff. And the guy belly bumps him. Then we are concerned if that was some kind of sign and if my husband is safe and I’m asking why he stayed out there. He says it was to protect the girl. Then we are inside and I am trying to make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. I go to get the leftover pumpkin from the cat food, but don’t want to use cat food. Then someone there reminds me a have large cans of pumpkin. Then we are in the kitchen and lots of my relatives are there with my mom. My mom tries on a pretty satin gown with a feather coat. She looks beautiful and I say we should take her picture and we go outside where the light is better. And I mention the new house is brick just like her old house. Then someone at the house mentions we need to go to church for his going away and teases that he won’t speak to us if we don’t. We end up going to the church party which is actually in a gathering hall. There are some of my neighbors there and people that were just at my house. We get food to eat and I have a seat next to my husband, but then I lost it and there were no more seats at that table so I had to go to another table. I’m making small talk but don’t know them well so it’s hard. Then I am drawing and a girl comes over that I had been talking to earlier about watercolors and she brings over some pretty old watercolors but is so excited to give them to me to use because we had talked about it. I don’t have the right paper but feel I need to use them since she’s so excited.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/5e20d3f9-d715-4644-be33-eb217ccbf34f.png)

Dreadful Encounter: Vampire Children and a Mysterious Escape
![I dreamed that I was in a room that appeared to once be a barn but also looked like a classroom. This room only had one exit, a door and was full of people I went to high school with, excluding an old friend/coworker I knew years ago that I got close with who ended up in the hospital on her deathbed, recovered, and I've never heard from her again. She was situated close to the middle-front of the room in a desk and was still and quiet which is unlike her personality. This is important because most of the room was in a stir and was fearful as they said that vampires were coming to slaughter us. Among my former classmates, some were not scared at all, one of them was an old friend of mine who has actually done well for herself in the waking world. She was not scared at all and had actually acted as if she was going to fight them and asked me, "Who are you going to push in their way?" as if I would plan to push someone in the room down, to slow down the advances of these vampires I've yet to see. I did however answer her, and had looked at my old friend/coworker that we will call 'R' and I don't remember if I said I would outright push her in their way, or if I just looked at her and pointed. After this conversation, the room got quiet. There was a balcony inside of this room and I had looked up and finally saw the vampires they were all so afraid of. They were children, but they were terrifying. Their faces were covered in blood and they had 2 adult vampires with them. My friend who was not afraid and asked who I would push in their way(We will call her 'A') , went over to the balcony to look up at them and I followed. As I'm looking up at these child vampires, one looked down at me and the blood on his or her face had dripped off and onto my face and into my right eye. In less than 10 seconds after this happened, A ran to the only exit and I followed. The door was unlocked and we were outside and it was daytime. We were running like crazy but it was hard for me to see as there was blood in my eye. I also started to have trouble running, as if my feet were not planted on the ground completely. Soon, a van starts coming after us that had the adult vampires inside chasing after us. Unfortunately they got A, but seemed to not even see me or notice me. I believe they even came out into the daylight which was odd, but I was starting to feel 'odd' and attempted to jump someone's fence as we were in a residential neighborhood. I floated over this fence and landed on tile or linoleum, next to an in ground pool in someone's backyard. I think I woke up shortly after this happened.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/463352bd-cd09-4eeb-976c-8b7dd019a044.png)

Journey to Find Weeds: A Dream with Family, Trailers, and Natural Chaos
![I was with mama and we drove from dhs to Nevada to go get some weeds. Bits and fragments of dreams show I was in gloria's trailer. Then i go from being in a vehicle on a freeway to seeing grampa aaron with his bcg glasses. saw a guy and a female that had hearing aides like mine, but weren't wearing them, and I looked for the red marks on their ears from wearing them. Last part was being in the house and looking out at the trees in the backyard blowing as with typhoon like winds. The clouds were black and grey swirling chaotically in the sky. The sound of it was loud in the house. I was in the kitchen by the backyard window holding bear from going out. I kept shouting Stop! As the wind was shrieking I kept looking at the ceiling and thinking that I hope it doesn't get torn off. I was surprised that the trees didn't get ripped out of the ground as they were violently blown around.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/c4cc7e1d-a2d0-41a6-8c74-fec8dfda04d4.png)
Spectacular Backyard Flooded: Salmon to Goldfish, Kids Amazed

There were so many salmon swimming and jumping upstream and our entire backyard was just water. One of the salmon swam upstream but landed on our deck but it was the size of a tuna. We decided we could catch it and save it to cook. Later, all the salmon turned into goldfish and beautiful koi fish, just swimming around. Then, a bunch of kids from my son’s preschool showed up to play and we showed them the fish.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/4acb0504-a7bb-493e-a0f2-bb6d5ea52480.png)

The Enigmatic Quest: Level 6 Parkour, Hidden Treasures, and the Scary Figure
![In the dream, my friend and I were playing real-life parkour. There was one particular stage that caught my attention, and it was called "Level 6." Anyways, we spawned in a backyard with white fences and very long grass. Although my gut told me there was something hidden there, luckily we didn't come across anything. We finished that part and then did some normal parkour stuff.
However, while I was doing the parkour with my friend, I noticed something. There was a broken blue car, and we went near it to check it out. We may have found something, maybe a note, I don't know. Then, we stumbled upon a mini store where the store owner looked like my grandma for some reason. The store only had small medicine-looking candies and a radio in the back. Despite the store looking big on the outside, I couldn't find any other rooms.
Since I love candies so much, I quickly went to buy some while my friend explored the store. What a great friend I was! While she was giving me the candy, my friend might've asked "Is it poison?" and she quickly snatched it away with a sad, caring, and scared look I'll never forget. Even though I tried to get the candy back, I couldn't. In the end, the store owner gave me a note. I quickly went to my friend and told her about it. The note probably said to go to the roof since we had gone there. So, we used a stool to get up there. When we were there, we saw a scary picture of a "White Lady" that seemed to be telling us something. Suddenly, we were teleported back to spawn with everyone.
You think it ends there? NOPE! We were teleported somewhere that looked like an event. The room was a square with no doors, no windows, nothing. There were loads of people there, and in the middle was a box full of things you would bring to school. There was also a scarecrow thing on the side, and two bookshelves somewhere. Anyways, we all went to the middle and started scavenging for stuff. Not only them, but also me and my friend were looking for something. In the end, we found nothing, but a scary face kept appearing every second. It was the same scarecrow, but very scary, and it gave you nightmares if you kept thinking about it. That's the end of the dream, but the thing is, I had this dream a few months ago, except I was alone, and no one was there, not even the store owner.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/92b91349-3546-4706-80a6-cc4310bf101c.png)

Searching for Answers in a Delicate Dream Landscape
![#
Inside the house had the same feelings as I remember in the actual home but layout was different.
White items were a prominent detail for some reason - then dimness and cluttered things an dust I was actively avoiding.
I went through the very narrow hallway and went through a half door before taking another door to the backyard and backyard was a sight.
I'm not a backyard or front yard person but this was purposefully decorated (with minimum stuff but looked very - well to do.) with green trimmed grass and I swear there were little imported things from Japan or some designer befriended her and decorated the backyard.
It was roomy - spacey - had some welcoming ornaments with what I am assuming had to be Kanji which - I don't think she ever owned items that would have that or knew the language at all but on I went.
Never finding the item because I was trying to figure out this detail dream me remembered growing up with and was on the hunt for understanding it.
Nearly left empty handed or without an answer. Walked passed a small bird bath for the umpteenth time and entered the cramped non gazebo gazebo out of restlessness.
I noticed the 'window' and how delicate it looked. I remember finding the icy lace like cuts in the class that resembles a butterfly to be pretty but this is me so I was still wondering 'WHY is it always butterflies with people?!' and out of boredom I took the teeny tiny knobs in the center - like they are double doors on this already delicate tiny thing, opened up and have no idea what I expected to see.
But another thin glass panel etched the same way as the first was NOT it and I closed the doors very gingerly and remembered sighing.
I was annoyed by the box inside of a box thing but more so with me for being that nosy when that wasn't why I was even here.
I sort of heard a distant roar but was caught up in my mind thinking about the contraption and reaffirming with myself to stop analyzing things and to not touch anything else.
With another huff of a sigh, my eyes widen looking out the windowless hut entrapment I was in and even in SEEING the oncoming bear, I didn't immediately see it. I saw the fountain and had a 'd'oh!' moment with it.
("OH YEAH THE BEAR WARNING!")
My mind recalled something that I have zero clue on what the fuck it means but I felt accomplished for some reason and suddenly remembered whatever item I needed was in the house and I saw that beer and it roared - standing up on two legs and charge into the backyard.
I made a Homer Simpson help - closed and locked the non gazebo gazebo up somehow (but it's windowless...)
and crouched down SUPER low and stared at the weird butterfly thing but not out of annoyance.
I don't know what made me think this was the thing to do. I don't know why I thought the bear hadn't seen me or would be stupid to avoid the gazebo.
Bears are smart and the bear kept sniffing and poking its nose in and making bear noises outside and like a fucking moron who suddenly remembers they are terrified of bears - I still stupidly would talk friendly with its snout.
Saying things like "hello there!" "Aww you're a curious and protective bear aren't you?"
"I promise I'm safe and friendly! Yes yes that's a good bear a sweet bear."
(I said the last one when it snarled and pulls its nose away and roared away from me.)
Dream me is a different layer of stupid but I either genuinely felt like talking to the terrifying bear or I was so terrified that I hoped the sweet acknowledgements would deescalate the situation and...I don't know...bear would get distracted and I would crawl away to the house - grab item and somehow not be maimed.
Well, the bear would get distracted and then rush back up and stand up if it sensed my thoughts.
So I just surrendered to a terrifying death and got to a point that the anxiety of waiting for the bear to strike this damn non gazebo gazes was too much.
I stood straight up and told the bear who was at the damn bird bath that it's a sweet bear and I'm sorry for angering it and I did not make eye contact, I just unlocked, slowly took my body back the house and only paid attention the bear's observances of this when my hand was on that handle.
We did make eye contact then - and it was on its hind legs - playing with the water and turns to me, snorts and goes back to pawing the water and upsetting a bird who wanted to be there.
The bear had that look of boredom when seeing me and I nodded to them because - I'd rather be boring to a bear and this was a fair way to leave a terrifying situation.
Bear was entertained and I was leaving.
"Bye bear," I mouthed and entered and closed the door behind me, somehow recalled what item was needed and where it was - made a mad leap for it and ran back to the retirement beach hotel.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/9f05e3c3-49e6-4865-ac5e-7045057bbca3.png)
