When I entered this passage i went up it was full of money and other weird artifacts I took the money and hid it in the mountain where no one would find it and then my dream ended. The next night I had the same dream but this time it was different I was aware of what I was doing I was sleeping but it felt like I was aware of my surrounding like I was awake my brain was talking back to me and this time my uncle was there. I went back to the mountain and I knew everything about it I knew where the passage was and I knew exactly where I hid the money I went into the passage by myself went up and found the money when I came out there were people surrounding the entry of the passage trying to take the money off me but I didn’t let them and then the dream ended.

I dreamt that I was walking down a large underground tunnel, and then all of a sudden, a car was driving up the tunnel towards me. I had to get away from it or it would run over me, so I turned around and tried to go back the way I came to get to the surface. But while I was down there, there was a cave-in part way up and I could not go any further. Then I saw that people on the other side were trying to get through a small hole, so I started to work my way through the hole and woke up.
I keep on getting a dream of being between railway tracks at night, but it seems to be concentrated in a moment where I’m outside a twin tunnel. I grab the brick work in-between the train is coming from the left, not a steam train just a noise of a fast train, but there is something in front of the train trying to escape out, but it is not me, it’s some as sort of creature or something else and keep on waking up at that moment! But the dream feels positive!

I dreamt I was was at a boxing gym that I go to and there was this blue or yellow Chucky cheese Tunnel slide infront of me and I got in it and crawled through and while I was crawling through I there were certain parts in the tunnel were the floors were black and slippery and I could not continue crawling, I crawled through them after sliding down 1 or 2 times. I wake up everyday just disappointed and angry at myself and sad because I got scared when a guy said something rude to me and I kept walking like a bitch. I know it sounds insignificant and stupid but that day I don’t know what happened to me but a part of myself left that day and I don’t know when or if it will come back. I guess as punishment my brain likes to bitch me because I have dreams of similar situations were I react the same way. I wish I could stop being scared, scared of everything. I want to be the absolute definition of fearless and not feel fear at all.Everyday since my head just replays the moment over and over like I’m torturing myself and I get so angry at myself and the world because fear is such a pain in the fucking skull for me but I don’t know if I have always been afraid and it was just hidden with the false confidence I had or if
I dreamed me and my friends going to a tunnel (i don’t know why the tunnel or the place is somewhat familiar) that was like a famous to who longer stays at the end of the tunnel will be entitled “cool” at my school, we walking there for hours and keep getting longer like there was no end, it was like pitch black we are using flashlights from our phone and the water was on our knee level, then i got scared i told my friends to just go back but they don’t want to. We reach the end it was beautiful then there was like a timer of how long the people was there, we beat the highscore(?) timer of 25 min there was no signal or anything, then we headed back but weird things happened like there was someone or something that is following us. There was a small ladder to go up just 5 steps up ladder, then there’s a man so familiar he was so pale, then he makes me choose of places that where I knew him, i think he was kind toward us (he was giving me hints), then I answered the wrong one(? Yeah I’m dumb even on my dreams) He told me to go back down from the the small ladder so the ___(i can’t remember but we heard a roar like a monster roar not a lion or smth) won’t be angry. We obey him and again he was there to ask me the same question and giving me the same choices, but my friend pull my hand and we run. I look back to the guy and he was just looking at me smiling. Then many things happened but I can’t remember. Then the next thing i knew we were at my house my friends was at the dining table eating something while i stand there, they were acting weird and I knew something was up, even my dog. I exorcised my dog first he turned red and bit me and faint(?) And was back to himself, i exorcised my friends next and they asked what happened because they can’t remember what happened. After that me and parents are at my aunt’s house which is like another town, then the neighbor’s door was open and i see an old vintage mirror and remember the guy, i have flashback about the choices (the places i met him) it was the second one in the choices (it was the town where my aunt live) I can’t remember if i really remember where exactly i met him but i just knew that it was where my aunt’s town is. Then I can’t remember what happened next.

I chance upon a tunnel with my friends on a camping trip . Out of curiosity, we decided to enter the tunnel. The tunnel looked like a typical underground highway , no cars of course, very badly lighted and it was a long passage with seemingly no end. Each step we took, the sounds of our footsteps echoes throughout the tunnel. After walking gor a while, we suddenly hear a ‘click’ sound from the back . We stood still. We heard another ‘click’ sound. We immediately turn to the back and saw the lampost turning off, as if the movement of our perpatrator was causing the lights to off . The darkness was reaching , we didnt want to be devoured by an unknown creature! With all our might, we ran through the endless tunnel. We kept running, but it seems like the unknown creature was inches away. Suddely, i turn back and saw the creature reaching out his claws to grab me, but i woke up with a pool of sweat on my pillow. However, i went back to sleep and dreamt that i manage to reach the end of the tunnel before he could reach us. It is a weird dream, aint it ?
I was in the front passenger seat being driven by my father who is no longer alive. And although the tone of conversation we had was light and overall nice there were some emotional and sad thing brought up. As we drive we go up a steep drive way of a big burnt house which I notice the next door house was also burnt pretty bad. There were burned down cars and a bunch of burnt up mannequins. Followed by us entering a long black tunnel with nothing in sight but a white light at the end. There starts to be uncontrollable laughter and a huge euphoria and I then wake up. Not sure what this could possibly mean.
