Nightmare Had a dream that I am stuck at a chapel service at my old college Bob Jones University. I hate being there and often have dreams of being stuck there. Then a huge amount of protestors show up, some have emaciated limbs. They speak in English but I can’t understand what they mean. I grab a recording tape and try to interview one. I can’t understand him. The normal looking protestors start dancing and doing flash mobs of highly sensual songs. The president Steven Jones doesn’t know what to do and starts laughing hysterically. The crowd thickens to thousands of people all acting weird, much of it sexual, others are there for convention (tv shows, video games, etc) . There’s a guy in multiple places who keeps trying to drag me off or convince me to go with him, and I know innately he means to harm me. I keep finding ways to shake him and look for my mom. When I do find her she has superpowers. Then she disappears while we are trying to get through the crowd to go home. The same guy shows up but now he’s covered in circular sores and holes. He is full of wasps. He drags me around to go on “ adventures” back to the chapel with the huge crowd, where he spreads the “swarm” to others, sometimes unintentionally, turning them into hive-zombies. Every time he does this he becomes more coherent and alert. Eventually he claims he is a time-corrector and is trying to stop a bad thing from continuing to alter this timeline. After running around causing more misery, Eventually he declares he has given up and we are suddenly floating in a huge dark purple expanse. I see a small bright cluster of stars in front of us and know it’s a universe. He touches it and it turns to dust. I am so horrified I cannot even speak. We go through other universes in a blue. All of them him spreading the “swarm” inside him. I get separated from him and run into Missy (character from Doctor Who). She looks panicked and says that the creature I am with is altering universes so he can control their timeline, for unknown reasons. She says we have to break into his latest victims lair before it’s completely taken over and stop him. I agree but I say don’t know how we can, she ignores that. We find him in ruins of Atlantis which he is altering it to have always been a temple to him and the Swarm. He easily defeats Missy and makes her a Hive Zombie The dream pans out to all the universes with the Hive man superimposing over them. Missys head pops up next to him, fully zombified, speaking what he said in unison, looking directly at the “camera”-at me. “My true nature is a a hater of God and all beings. I am altering all universes and destroying others-but I am not allowing anyone within to die or find rest in afterlife or punishment in a hell. All beings are forced to live forever and ever in my Universes, all will suffer forever. “ As he speaks Missy’s Jaw unhinges and breaks as a large black and brown goat head with huge horns emerges, staring at me with cold black eyes. I wake up.
This dream appears to be highly symbolic and complex, reflecting your subconscious thoughts, fears, and emotions. Here is a breakdown of some possible interpretations of the various elements of your dream:
Feeling of being trapped and uncomfortable: The recurring theme of being stuck at a place you dislike, such as the chapel service at your old college, may represent feelings of restriction or being held back in some area of your waking life. This could indicate a desire to break free from certain circumstances or limitations.
Protestors and strange behavior: The protestors with emaciated limbs who speak unintelligibly and the sensual flash mobs may symbolize feelings of confusion, chaos, or unease in your waking life. The sense of not being able to understand their message or communicate with them could reflect a sense of disconnection or miscommunication in your relationships or social interactions.
President laughing hysterically: The reaction of the president laughing uncontrollably may suggest a feeling of being in a situation where authority figures or leaders do not know how to handle challenges or crises, leaving you feeling uncertain or unsupported.
Mother with superpowers: Your mother appearing with superpowers could represent a desire for protection, guidance, or strength in facing difficulties or unknown threats. Her disappearance and the inability to find her may indicate feelings of vulnerability or a need for maternal care and support.
Hive man and time correction: The mysterious figure covered in sores and wasps, spreading a "swarm" to turn others into hive-zombies, might symbolize a negative or destructive influence in your life that is causing harm or chaos. The idea of him being a time-corrector trying to alter timelines could reflect a sense of urgency or a need to address unresolved issues or conflicts.
Missy and changing universes: The encounter with Missy, a character from Doctor Who, and the revelation about the hive man altering universes to control timelines could suggest a need to confront and overcome external threats or manipulative forces in your life. The transformation of Missy into a hive zombie may indicate a loss of agency or control in the face of malevolent influences.
Revelation of true nature: The final revelation by the hive man about his intentions to create eternal suffering and prevent rest or peace for all beings could symbolize deep-seated fears about the nature of existence, punishment, or eternal consequences. The emergence of a goat-headed figure from Missy's zombified form could represent dark or demonic influences at play in your subconscious mind.
Overall, this dream may reflect a mix of fears, anxieties, and unresolved emotions that are manifesting in a surreal and fantastical narrative. It may be helpful to reflect on the personal significance of each element and consider how they relate to your waking life experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Exploring these themes with a therapist or counselor could offer additional insights and support in understanding and processing the underlying meanings of your dream.
