I had a dream about meeting some guy, he was a very nonchalant, calm natured person. He told me that he has this black figure with a red aura constantly following him and trying to control him, he learned to ignore it. I told him I didn't believe him. He said something like "believe what you want". A day goes by and I exit out of this apartment building and some guy stabs me in the neck with a needle that had some red glowing liquid in it, he didn't inject it all. but maybe 80% of it, he shakes the needle, flaunting it to me and runs off before I can say anything. I walk Back to my apartment, and I see the same figure the guy was talking about, it was trying to control me by telling me to do things or else it would harm me or something else that I care about. I tried to ignore it and went to go to try to lay down next to my girlfriend until I noticed the figure go to stab her, I remember trying to grab the knife before the figure stabbed her and then I woke up. I went back to sleep and my dream continued, where I was traumatized. going up to my girlfriend and trying to lay down with her scared me cause I was expecting some attack about to happen, but nothing ever did. I was on the edge the entire time, but the threat never came back, that figure never came back.
This dream can be interpreted as representing feelings of vulnerability and fear of losing control in your waking life. The nonchalant and calm-natured person in the dream may symbolize your inner strength and ability to remain composed in challenging situations. The black figure with a red aura could represent a source of negativity or external influence that tries to manipulate or control you.
Initially, you dismiss the person's claim about the figure, indicating a reluctance to acknowledge or believe in threats or negative influences around you. However, the subsequent incident of being stabbed in the neck with a red glowing liquid suggests that these influences are real and pose a danger to you. This may symbolize a situation or relationship in your waking life that has the potential to harm you emotionally or mentally.
When you return to your apartment and see the figure, it tries to exert control over you by making threats. Your attempts to ignore it highlight your resilience and determination not to let negative influences have power over you. However, the figure's attempt to harm your girlfriend brings stronger emotions and a protective instinct. This signifies your concern for loved ones and the lengths you are willing to go to protect them.
The dream ending with you being traumatized and fearful while trying to be close to your girlfriend suggests lingering anxiety and mistrust after the threat is seemingly gone. This could represent a lasting impact of past negative experiences on your current relationships, making it difficult for you to fully relax or feel safe.
Overall, this dream suggests a need to be cautious of potential negative influences or toxic dynamics in your life. It emphasizes the importance of protecting yourself and those you care about from harm. It may also be a reflection of your inner struggle to find a balance between remaining strong and resilient while acknowledging and addressing sources of negativity.
