I was going with my family in 2 groups, 2 of my family members were behind, and 2 including me were in the front. Eventually we get to a vr game are, where we put on vr headsets for fun. We forget to take them off however, and go further on the path. Eventually I get to a stand that sells pokemon cards, and I take one. An opening cutscene plays, and meanwhile some other guy is rambling about what a loser I am. This is all happening near a lamp, and then my family member says he will take care of it, so he will turn off the lamp so that crime isnt seen. Then the cutscene stops playing, and I take off my headset. After I take off my headset, I am in complete darkness, and I can only see the very round eyes and a smile of a very tall figure. I then wake up in my bed of my real home, however as I open the door, darkness fills the room, and I run from the figure again until it traps me in a loop, where the figure jumps at me consistently. Eventually I scream out loud and wake up, whilst punching the air in real life.
This dream may reflect feelings of being overwhelmed or trapped in a situation where you feel unable to escape. The division of your family into two groups may symbolize internal conflict or divided loyalties. The VR game and the forgetting to take off the headsets could suggest a sense of being disconnected from reality or finding escapism in distractions.
The encounter with the figure with round eyes and a smile in the darkness may represent subconscious fears or anxieties that are lurking beneath the surface. The feeling of being trapped in a loop with the figure jumping at you could indicate a sense of being stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts or emotions.
Your instinct to fight back by screaming and punching in real life may symbolize a desire to confront and overcome these fears. Overall, this dream may be highlighting unresolved emotions or fears that are manifesting in your subconscious mind, urging you to address them in order to find peace and resolution.
