"Dreamt I was in some building and there were people who were putting on a facade of good religious but were deceiving a lot of the people. Then there was a guy that I overheard talking to someone on the phone about how there might have to be a change of plans and he’ll need to be the fall guy. And I was catching on to their lies and deceit. Then there was a man I think it was my dad that was worried about my safety and to tell him what I know and I told him to tell me what he knows first. Then another scene I was at some pool with a bunch of people and teenagers and the deceitful men were all there too and no one was in the pool, everyone was standing along the walls surrounding the pool. I ended up in the pool and felt vulnerable and realized i had to get out so I did. Then everyone was just quiet so they wouldn’t get in trouble but the deceitful people. Almost like we were all being held hostage for possible weird ritual of a sort. Then I thought that if a bunch of us started fighting back, it would be hard for them to stop us so I started screaming and fighting against the oppressors and other people started fighting back too. And then there was light and Jesus was there"

"I dreamt I was somewhere with my husband, his friend and another guy and 2 other women crossing a train track. There was a German shepherd dog, I was singing “you matter to me” out loud in front of them (I am so scared to sing in front of other people in real life because of childhood stuff) and encouraged one of the guys to sing and shared how I used to be scared to sing but the more you do it the better you feel then we were going on a boat and they wanted to play a fighting game just girls then just guys and I didn’t want to play."

"I remember it in bits and pieces my husband and I were at a hotel in a big suite we were celebrating his birthday. Down in the lobby there were so many friends and family even celebrities there. A person at the hotel I’m not sure if she was there for the party or not was wearing a dress that made it look like she was naked and it upset me because my husband just kept looking at her trying to do it without me, seeing . A reporter brought him over two birthday cakes I wanted to take a picture of him with the two cakes, but the reporter and a few of her friends got in the picture too. I got upset, and I grabbed a scoop of each cake and smashed it on each side of his face. He was so mad at me. We both went back to our room while he cleaned up and were crying and fighting. After we went back down to the party, he refused to talk to me. At one point, I could hear his Aunt talking about me behind my back telling him that he doesn’t have to listen to me. After that, he walked out and went straight to a game room where he started playing table tennis with his cousin. I told him I was going to the truck because I wanted to go home however I didn’t have the keys to drive myself. I was able to get in the truck where I just sat and waited."
