I had this dream over a dozen times and always the same. I would become aware of a bluish white sparkling light coming up from below like an elevator arriving into the closet. The bi fold closet door would slowly open. I would get out of bed and reach for the partially open bedroom door and it would slam shut causing me to put my foot on the wall and tug with a my might. Once I could begin slipping through it, it released and I ran down the hall, feeling the hand and arm stretching out behind me to grab my neck. Half way down the stairs I could jump over the banister and as soon as my family sitting on the sofa looked over the hand and arm would snap back and I would sit up completely awake. I never had it again after I moved out of that bedroom.

I had a dream three nights ago. It started with the bed sinking in on my back side, (I am a side sleeper). I first was thinking it was my husband who works out of town a lot and I thought he Decided to drive home. I was trying to ask if it was him, it was like my mouth would not get out the words. A black hand extended from behind me to make sure I seen it, I then found some words, enough to say get out of here and that was the end!
I can’t shake that dream and that’s all I have been thinking about.
I also had a dream involving black hands and also a black man. The black hands were mine and his and we were transacting a deal. In the dream I remember thinking I need to wash my hands; they’re black?! Also I knew the black man in the dream and it didn’t seem very sinister or evil.

In my dream for some reason I was sitting down, in a parking lot, tying my shoe. I finished and then I look down and a see a hole filled with disgusting, dirty water with a hand inside. It looked like an 8 year old boys hand. I could not tell if was detacted or not, but It was like from those horror movies where as hand just presses up on the window, ya know? It was creepy and I want to know that meaning of this.
I had a dream I had a bump on my left hand & my aunt or someone similar to her went to pop it & it turned into this big & deep hole in the palm of my hand. It didn’t hurt but the fear of looking into my hand gave me a rush of blood to the face. She but these little bandaids on that was falling into the hole. I asked her to put better ones on because I had stuff to do. & then I woke up

I dream about my hands are fading and painful.
I dreamt that i was lying in my bed and large rough hands were clasping both sides of my head which were covering my ears as if they were standing behind me and i had my hands lying on the top of theirs.
Researching all of the symbols in my most recent dream since I can’t find them all together ! Dreamed of a cockroach (meaning spiritual rebirth, resilience in most cases) inside my pool (inner feelings and emotions) and then it repeatedly flew on my hand (my relationship to the world, socializing) and everytime I swung it off it would fly back onto my hand. And I didn’t want to kill it. I think it means that the I will overcome the difficult emotional trauma I’m going through right now and eventually it might also become a quality that I bring to my relationships.
I dreamt of an old friend, who I once liked then we grew apart. I’ve barely seen him over the past few years but I had a very vivid dream of us sitting together, him reaching out his hand to me, and I didn’t take it. Ever since then I’ve had a really, really strong longing and attachment to that dream, and the longing in me wants to go back and take it. I have no clue what this dream means, and it’s been on my mind for a while.
Since ive had this dream ive been trying so hard to figure out what it means and im convinced that there may be a demon trying to possess me… It felt very real, I was laying in my own bed, TV on, and there was a big glowing arm, the hand was spread out coming towards me almost like it was trying to go inside my body or something. Throughout the whole thing(felt like hours) i struggled with all my might to push it away and keep it from going inside my chest. It scared me so much that i wouldnt go back to sleep. Has anyone else had a similar dream???
If you watch violent movies your soul actually gets ‘flayed;’ hence people who are able to do heinous things PLUS this is how they condition people in the marines. I would say think about what you are watching.
I’ve dreamt that I have taken an undead’s hand for help….
I was looking for help about a dream I had a couple days ago. I dreamed that I was talking to this guy at his car while he was sitting on passenger side and a guy walked up that he seemed to be happy to see. They spoke, but then the guy pulled a gun and aimed it at his forehead. I laid my right hand over his forehead and as the guy fired the weapon once no bullet discharged, then again and again and again no bullet discharged. Then I woke up.
I just dreamed that an old colleague accidentally came to my office, said hi and left. After a while, another 2 colleagues came running in. One of them had his right hand palm detached. He was asking for help. I put him in recovery position and tried to call emergency. I could not get hold of anyone and people at my office kept interfering, instead of helping me.
Well I was thinking about what I should dream but then out of no where I see a hand and I’m suggesting that it came from my right because of the way the arm was leading then the hand was moving it’s fingers like it was saying hello or goodbye and while the hand was moving something was falling and I think it was dried rose petals ( I always dream black and white so I wouldn’t know for sure). Can you please help me and tell me what it means, thank you.

His superior came over and asked to see it. I showed it to him and it had stopped bleeding but was deep and pink. He put his finger in it and said it was deep I should get it looked at.

I had a very similar dream today. I was in my college (that I graduated from in 2013), and I was looking for washroom. As I enter washroom, a tiny hand slowly moves toward my shoulder from top of the head shelf. I got shit scared, slowly lied down on the front door of washroom, and tried a shout for help but I couldn’t shout due to panic attack. I tried harder, and in a while, I ended up shouting in real (with too much effort) and woke up with fear. Don’t know the meaning of it. Any idea?
I had a similar dream. I was in a room similar to my bedroom, but bigger. I went to switch on the fan. The buttons were placed near a small window(in reality the buttons are not near that window). And a hand shot out of the window and grabbed my left wrist. I couldn’t see who it was and the window was closed and even the curtains were closed. I panicked and screamed and then I woke up. If anyone can tell me what it means please do tell.
