A very intense dream almost like sleep paralysis. it had Daniel and I think you, lys and my mom and possibly my step mom. Some random old guy. Was with lys and he started threatening me. Then I thought I’d woken up to baghera coming into bed and cuddling up to me, I open my eyes and my moms sitting there as she is now. Note at this point I thought I was awake. Then I look over and there’s my mom again. But it’s like her when she was heavily drinking. She told me this is who she is and the other one is too weak to go along without her. And then my mom (as she is now) was just laying there lifeless. Still there but dormant That was the last bit of it so that’s all I really remember fully. I woke up officially and my heart was beating so fast and loud I thought I heard footsteps but I guess it was just my heart racing. And my ears haven’t stopped ringing.
Dreams can often reflect our subconscious thoughts, feelings, and fears. In this dream, the presence of different people, such as Daniel, Lys, your mom, and your stepmom, may symbolize different aspects or influences in your waking life.
The random old guy who threatened you could represent a feeling of intimidation or vulnerability in a particular situation. It's possible that you are feeling threatened or unsafe around someone or in a certain environment.
The appearance of your mom in two different forms may symbolize conflicting emotions or contrasting sides of her personality. The version of her heavily drinking may represent past behaviors or issues that have had an impact on you. Her statement about being who she is and the other version being weak could suggest a struggle within herself, which may indirectly relate to certain dynamics within your family or the relationship between you and your mother.
The image of your mom lying lifeless but still present could represent a sense of stagnation or lack of vitality in a certain area of your life. It could also symbolize unresolved emotional issues or a longing for a deeper connection.
The feeling of sleep paralysis and the intense physical sensations upon waking up suggest that this dream had a strong impact on you. The racing heart and ringing ears could be signs of heightened anxiety or fear. It might be helpful to explore these emotions further and determine any underlying concerns or unresolved issues they may represent.
