"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 was on a cruise ship that was massive - the biggest in the world. It was several stories and had many different types of entertainment options - basketball games to watch, live shows with dinner, shopping, etc. We were on our way to Spain. I was with my mom and two sisters. My youngest sister booked a trip to Spain. And I said if I was Able to just walk into the ship without having to pay then I would go. I didn’t purchase a ticket, however; after three days I started getting paranoid. The energetic behind not paying started to catch up To me and I felt bad. I remember flying at one point and no one was shocked by that. I remember thinking I had a greater purpose to serve there but didn’t want to bring anymore attention to myself. The dream Never concluded, I woke up and shifted into Another dream. "

"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."
