Just woke up from the best sleep in weeks.
I’ll put it short, it started at a store idc. It was vacant, in front of the doors was a snack thing with mirrors on the short ends. To the right of the doors was a maze for I guess kids. me and 3 others (one being my sister and the other a very close friend and the other switching from my friend to someone idk) it stared with me wanting a snack and once nothing was available or eaten we talked about the maze being boring. Unknown told us about going throw a mirror at the back of the store and I don’t know how they convinced us but we made out way back. I remember clearly looking back at the front of the store toward the mirror cuz I felt creeped out about it and a girl with long black hair and bangs popped up in it and scared the crap out of me. I remember telling them an joking about it. We went through the mirror and my sisters already walking off. Its pitch black minus the flooring. It’s like the store when it’s closed in the middle of the night and it’s hard to see where you’re going but the ground is slightly more visable. I hold hands with unknown and stay close with my friend who’s following after my sister and we get to the maze again and I remember us walking then bolding through it, we were being jumpscared left and right by these glowing eyed black shadow ghost things with long arms, they scratched at us. I should mention we all somehow got swords to fight them back but once we got out we left the mirror with cuts every where. I called my sister on the phone since I couldn’t find her and my mom answered saying she was asleep, I was confused but I guess dream self didn’t think clearly. I told her ok and don’t answer cuz I’m trying to find her phone and hung up and called again, it sounded so close by. Then a deep male voice started talking saying how it’s been so long since someone was able to rate his little game, he sounded creepy as hell but my dream self resorted to muting the phone which didn’t work and after walking around, I woke up. 😅 idk what it means but it was a freaky dream and my dream sister was definitely still in the mirror maze for sure.
i just woke up from my nap i had the craziest dream. it started in my current appartment a man knocked on the door he was a caucasion guy and he was letting me know that since i was going to be moving soon that he had to come in and take pictures to access the damage so that i would know what i owe them and what they will return to me with the security deposit. The next day he came over with a african guy and they read me the report that the property manager sent over after viewing the pictures and we settled our finantal business. the african guy wanted to talk to me and asked if he could come over later and cook for me and my children who ironically happened to be my real life brothers and sisters in their youth. i agreed and he came over then he spoke to me about this gated community that would be a great place to move to and after a coupple of dates with this man he and i were like kinda like a thing and i also moved into the gated community he suggested with all my kids. The place was nice and quiet and it seemed like i was finally settling in and the african guy went from comming over for dinner to just staying there with us. then this is where it gets weird. One day the guy and i was there at the new condo and i had just woke up from a nap to find out he was hitting one of my sons ( i had like six kids it was one of my sisters from real life but in the dream she was a little boy) every time id yell at him and try to push him away from him he would smack my son very hard like again and blood alot of blood was comming from his nose and head and the man was smiling like he knew there was nothing i could do about it so i grabbed some heavy object near and hit him and i knocked him uncontious then i gathered all the kids and we started to run through the complex trying to find our way out we went through this black gate and there was a building so we all went inside its like somehow i knew this was the way out and we opened the door there was a big room full of slides but all different kinds of different shaped and sized slides like a maze of slides. I tell all my kids to sit down on the slide i am { which looks like the widest of them all and easiest to navigate through} and hold on tight and let the slide take you to the end. Im in front they are all behind me and as we slide im trying to hurry so the guy doesnt wake up and catch up to us and i keep yelling out to them is every one okay bc the slides were high in the air and i feared that if anyone fell off they would die . We all survive and get to this door at the end of the slide maze we open the door and go in and theres a big room with this big plus sign in middle of the floor and at each end/ side of the plus sign there was a door ,so a total of four doors . w e pick a door and we all go through it and try to go through as fast as we can so now theres alot of stirs and we ae climbing as fast as we can and the stairs are getting smaller and smaller as we climb so im becoming relieved b i feel this means we are close to being safe and out. For some reason i look down to check for the children to be all comming up behind me and i see the guy from earlier the one who hit my son . he has the scariest most intense look on his face and hes climbing the stairs very fast sweating like he was like addicted or got some type of power out of climbing them. i yell for all the kids to climb in front of me and tell my oldest daughter to watch after the rest and that when they get to the top run through the door and close it . By me stopping to get all the kids in front of me the man starts to get closer and catch up. i start running and going as fast as i can . i still beat him to the door by literally barely . i get in and close it and behind this door my oldest daughter is listening to music slowly climbing more stairs slowly . i can hear the man banging and beating on the door . i yell for my daughter and ask her where are the rest of the kids and she says they are climbing their own stairs and she said it didnt matter because we were all gonna get to the same door . i become very panicked because i feel like this means i have lost them all forever and that the man as gonna find or get to them before i did because somewhere through this whole maze ive realized this man knows the maze like the back of his hand and before i wake up i have the scariest thought that he wanted all of us to go through the maze and get lost for him for his benefit somehow like he wants to torture us by making us learn this maze like he did. The end
my friend always see me coming down the stairs at every hotel but he is actuall y awake.

i had a dream that i had walked down some dark stairs alone and i fell, when i woke up i was tied with a rope around my feet being dragged around a dark maze. the person dragging me wasn’t quite a person since it had no face- like a blur but a dark figure. i was then pinned to the wall and it whispered something, then i was chased down an ally by someone with a knife about to kill me. i had this dream when i was about eight but cant get it out of my head
I just had a dream that I was taking some family members on trip to see a new mall that I often dream about. When we got there it all seemed normal but the entrance was under construction. As we bypassed all the work we were finally in the mall I knew except there were some new wings. The architecture became more elaborate and the new wings were finished in white marble. We then stumbled across a supreme court building in the mall and my sister decided to take the stairs down to it. I tried to follow but couldn’t catch up so I called her name. I then realized it wasn’t her after all. Now I realized I was separated from my family and tried in vain to find them. As I searched, the mall became bigger and bigger with giant sculpture gardens, theme parks, and enormous hotels. I panicked and starting to ask for help but all the strangers were ignoring me or mocking me for getting lost. I finally sat down on a bench and was begging for help. Next thing I knew my cat was poking me to wake up, and I did, and to much relief I was home again and it was all very upsetting dream.
I recently had one where I was walking with a friend to the store and we got stopped by an old woman, who wanted to talk to him so I continued on and would meet him outside, after I was finished i came back outside and i saw them walking away so i ran to catch up but lost them around a corner, i saw a glimpse of them walking down into a basement and bolted to them but when i entered it was dark, cold and scary, i found a door and bashed through it, but found myself in a different reality, it seemed like i was in the middle east, the locals were trying to talk to me but i couldn’t understand what they were saying so i politely made my way around them, running after my friend and the woman but they seemed to stay just out of reach before i seemed to lose them altogether until I walked into another room and it was again, another reality, so I walked and looked around, trying to figure out what I needed to do, talked to a dog that seemed to notice me, then guided me to a strange entity, that gave me cryptic hints on what I need to do next, so I spent time figuring out her message then sprinted to the next place i needed to go, when i ran through the archway i was in a futuristic reality, where I managed to find a few others and we ran to the next entity for the next clue then as we ran I woken up by my girlfriend because I was groaning in my sleep, not sure what it means but it was really intense, perhaps it means I have a desire to be back with my friend again but unsure how to make it happen as I’ve moved to a different state. The dream has me perplexed.
I frequently dream of having to negotiate a complex series of maneuvers in order to leave a job and get home. I’m retired now, but I seem to have some hangup about my leaving my job to stay home. Regret at having retired early? Connected to this is difficulty reaching my husband by phone. The overall emotions are fear, desperation and a soupcon of shame.
Every site I look at for dream meanings doesn’t cover the maze I go through often. It’s a dream I have frequently and have had frequently for many many years now. But the location is a maze with the walls, floor, and ceiling made up of old square TVs with static on the screen. There’s no buttons. It has a very loud, static noise in the whole place. No exit yet. Trying to figure out what it means by piecing together different dream meanings, but I’m still unsure. It sounds like I’m the only one with this kind of dream, since I get weird looks while explaining it, and can’t find it on other sites.
I dreamed that I am going somewhere like a second floor because I want to see people in the office. I searched for a stair to go up, when i saw one i went up and realized I’m in a different place. I looked around to go down again on the same stairs but It’s not there. I looked at the side and i saw I’m in a higher place looking down at a labyrinth of stairs going in different directions.I can see stairs are going deep down ( darker abyss ) , stairs going to a plain land area ( no buildings ), stairs upon stairs intertwined and mixed. Looking at it , i got scared and nervous because I’m thinking “How am I getting out of here? “, I don’t know where to start and it scares me that I might end up in the stairs going to the abyss. My heart is beating fast in panic…then I woke up. What does this mean ?
I dreamed I was in downtown Detroit, which I know quite well. I was trying desperately to get to my car which I’d parked on the Main Street. I went through buildings the wrong way with dead ends or no exits and wandered into a Concert where I was turned away because I had no ticket.
It began to rain and my car was in a simple place… til finally I’d found it.
Does it mean I will figure out I will find the right decision. But woke up with My heart beating super fast. It scared me.
um hello. i had a strange dream today. i dreamt i willingly entered a maze with my best friend on the premise, she had gone into the maze b4 and gotten out. i joined her. it seemed like a labyrinth more because it had levels, level one was not very difficult and it was small. it was dark and has several doors as if we were in a dungeon but it wasn’t a difficult level to pass. as we progressed levels, it got more difficult to pass. each level being more complicated and larger in size than the last. when we were reaching one of the last levels, my best friend had advanced and left me behind. i couldn’t find her but i somehow knew she had gotten out of the maze. it unnerved because i was lost and completely alone. i didn’t know how to get out. the most unnerving part of this level was it strongly resembled “the real world” as in if i walked outside the building i was inside, i wasn’t free nor did i pass the level. i was still within in except this level had many people . almost as if it was meant to resemble modern society but in reality, none of the people there were actual people. somehow i knew they weren’t real. even the people i recognized, i knew it wasn’t REALLY them. i knew i was still within the labyrinth and i had yet to pass that level, i was not free yet. then i woke up. this was the first thing i did: google what it meant because it really scared me more than any horror or thriller film could.
I’m trying to escape this maze and I succeeded. But again I’m being trapped. each time starting as a child and ends as an adult. Sometimes I’m even carrying a child in my hand. What does it mean?
It might mean if you are a kid in real life,you are afraid of growing up,or if you are an adult in real life you might be having a midlife crisis.
What if it’s in a pyramid?
I have this one. All the time! It starts off as just grocery shopping, then suddenly im running after something, full sprint! The grocery store turns into a maze within a pyramid with no end, no escape. Just a constant need to run to or from something. Knowing ill never get where im trying to go. Once i actually did escape… sortof… i gotout of the pyramid but i was at the top, able to see every neighborhood ive ever lived in below, with no way off.
I was in a social housing complex; not unlike some I’ve lived in, but this one had shops and restaurants and lots of people in. I’d made a few social faux pas’ and was looking for refuge in my friend’s house (who in waking life I’d offended/and regretted) and then I heard someone following me, so I was taking corners just to escape but still going in the general direction of his house, but the stairs and turnings were endless and i never reached it. The person following me was calling out to his friend ‘Anna’, trying to tell her he was ‘just going to get something’ (my shoes. For some reason, i was reading between the lines).
