Here is another odd dream that I had. what do you make of it? IT is downright bizarre, and almost feels like a bizarro world yōkai tale... 8/20/24 Dream: I had a dream that me and my brotthers were playing on this weird boss rush mode in super smash bros. It seemed to go on and on, and they were dying a lot. I managed to beat it with no hit though, but as the credits ended, wr were suddenly transported into the real world. I pulled out my 3ds to check my save file though, and I had gotten no items. I was frustrated, but then my brothers told me that we needed to go into a local store to redeem the items. I was confused, but then I decided to try it anyway to see if it worked. I turned and went to go inteo a local CVS store, but a massive fence was blocking the entrance. I tried to climb it, but it was alike 48ft, so I gave up fast due to my acrophobia. When I jumped down, there was a japanese lawyer and a homeless black man trying to get in. The black man was also gonna try to climb the fence, but then the lawyer managed to pick the lock and then open the front door. The black guy was excited and he jumped sown from the fence to come towards us. We all walked through the entrance and I took out my 3ds. They were confused, and asked me “What are you doing?” To which I said “Let me provide a light. While I get my items.” They seemed confused, but then just shrugged and let me walk with them anyway. We walked in silence through the empty CVS as a one of them asked me “Have you heard of the pooping man?” To which I replied “No, what do you mean…?” After this, Tahe black guy chimed in, explaining “The pooping man is a spirit forever stuck within this place, he lingers around, as he wanders always covered or filled in poop.” I let out a bit of a laugh at the name of the entity, as I found a back door into a dark bathroom, which caused me to freeze in fear as I beckoned them over. I stood near the foyer, signaling them to enter in there first, as I was a bit scared at the sight of a bathroom. They both sensed my fear, as they walked into the room with a lantern, ready to beat up the pooping man. I heard everything go normally, until suddenly, they screamed loudly and began to cry. I then ran in there, only to see both of them encased in mounds of shit, as they desperately tried to escape. Freaked out, I looked up, only to see a man sitting on an elevated toilet that was placed as if it was a throne. This man looked strung out as hell, and he was covered in a thin layer of shit both under and over his king’s costume. My mind immediately thought “It’s the pooping man, oh fuck,” as I ran away as fast as I could. However, the instant I left the room of the pooping man, I woke up instantaneously. FIN
This dream is quite vivid and surreal, filled with elements that may reflect certain emotions and thoughts you are experiencing in your waking life. Let's break down the key symbols in your dream and explore their potential meanings:
Super Smash Bros Boss Rush: This could symbolize a feeling of pressure or being overwhelmed in your life, as your brothers are struggling and dying in the game while you manage to succeed. It may indicate a sense of responsibility or having to handle difficult situations on your own.
Checking Your 3DS Save File: The frustration of not receiving any items in the dream may suggest feelings of disappointment or unfulfillment in your waking life. It could relate to expectations not being met or feeling like your efforts are not being rewarded.
Local Store and Fence: The barrier of the massive fence blocking the entrance to the store could represent obstacles or challenges in your life that seem insurmountable, especially with your fear of heights (acrophobia). The Japanese lawyer and homeless black man trying to get in may symbolize aspects of authority, justice, and social disparity.
Encountering the Pooping Man: The mention of the "pooping man" as a spirit lingering in the CVS could represent unresolved issues or feelings that you are avoiding or trying to escape from. The man covered in poop sitting on a throne may symbolize a sense of disgust, degradation, or being overwhelmed by negativity in some aspect of your life.
Fear and Escape: Your reaction of freezing in fear upon finding a dark bathroom and witnessing your companions trapped in mounds of excrement suggests a sense of helplessness or being overwhelmed by an unpleasant situation. Running away upon seeing the man on the throne could symbolize a desire to distance yourself from negativity or toxicity in your life.
Overall, this dream may reflect feelings of pressure, frustration, fear, and a need to confront and overcome challenges or negative aspects of your life. It could be a reflection of your subconscious mind processing difficult emotions or situations in a bizarre and symbolic way. Take some time to reflect on any underlying issues or concerns that may be surfacing in your waking life and consider how you can address them in a healthy and productive manner.
