I had a dream that I was playing chess with an ex-colleague. Anyway the pieces were brown and she kept playing it wrong as if we she was playing checkers/draughts. Anyway she kept doing it and I threw one of the pieces away and it broke which made me worry about it being broken and trying to fix it.
I’ve been super stressed about having to end a 4 year relationship. In my dream I couldn’t finish a game of chess despite having what seemed to be two queens, or at least one queen and a rook. Somehow, the CPU kept managing to draw a stalemate. I remember being watched by my grandma and half brother and that threw me off.
Later in the dream mee and my brother were digging out some treasure in a mansion where I was attacked by a pack of cats that kept latching on to me. I woke up really startled at 4 am and went for a walk. Not really sure if I had waken up or still in the dream. Perhaps I’m close to getting sleep paralysis?
I dream about a chess pawn was tattoed in my left side of my tummy and it’s pure black and there’s a triangular flag which is laid down under that chess pawn. What could be the meaning of that?
Dreamed I had 2 chessboards side by side and there was a knight and felt like a difficult move.
I have found that most dream interpretations involving chess always are in relation to a game being played. In my dreams the chess piece is often a merging of several pieces that are forming from newspapers and then floating in the air I always wake up before they land. A dream such as this can have several different meanings in this specific instance though I know the situation so can interpret the chess piece relationship to the uprooted situation of my family. The newspaper aspect relates to my search for more information. I am a chess player so am suprised that an actual game was not part of the dream.

That’s interesting. I’m finally ready to move on from a relationship and it’s gonna tear me to pieces. I’m stressing so much about it that I keep having nightmares.
