"I had a dream there was a guy who was quitting Facebook and I was in his house and just hanging out there like at a party with a bunch of other people but even though he posted he was quitting Facebook he wouldn't come out of his room and he only would send messages back on Facebook. So that seemed kind of weird that he would only respond back on Facebook even though he said he was quitting Facebook."

"I was at my work but it was also my grandmas house and there was a fire drill. It was a regular may 1st for drill so i knew it wasn't real. I didn't want to join in the fire drill because i wanted to keep working so I decided to hide under a couch. When I looked under the couch my brother was already hidden there. I disturbed his spot so I re camouflaged him but before I could I heard my mom and aunt coming who were the ones checking if everyone was out. So I ran to another room and carefully closed the door so they wouldn't hear it and hid there under a footrest. Just as I got under they came in. I wasn't sure I was hidden enough and they were checking around the room. I woke up"

"to start, my dream began with me being in a remote location where there was no light pollution or anything and I was surrounded by forest. I remember looking up at the moon in admiration and specifically thinking how detailed and bright and beautiful it looked in that moment. Then suddenly, the moon started to explode and screaming from people around me began (no clue who it was as I didn’t see anyone only heard them). I remember being mesmerized by the whole thing and I wasn’t scared but accepting that death was surely to follow. I watched the moon break apart slowly and as it crashed to earth I closed my eyes and waited for the explosion. When my eyes were closed my dream went from dark to super bright and I could feel the heat from the explosion. I knew I was transitioning from life to death but I felt no pain or panic just peace as I felt the heat and light taking me. After the explosion I woke up in what I assume was the afterlife. There were a lot of other people there and it was set up as a system of rooms and hallways. Some rooms had a lot of people in them, some had none. Some rooms were brightly lit and some were dark with no lights at all. I remember going to one room where it was set up almost like a movie theatre and other people were sitting and watching the screen but it was black with nothing on it. I didn’t stay and I kept navigating the hallways. I eventually came to this dark hallway that had an ominous feeling to it but I was drawn to it and it was as if I knew that was the direction I needed to go. I felt scared but also I knew it would be okay? I’m not sure how to explain it. I imagine it as the same feeling you’d get when you’re about to jump out of an airplane and skydive for the first time. I don’t remember much after I got to that specific hallway and I woke up shortly after. The whole thing felt very real and had me shaken up when I woke up."
