"I dreamt I was with a man who was hustling people for money and he sold my car without my approval. I had left the house and came back and noticed my car was gone and asked if he had seen my car and he told me he sold it. I felt shocked and devastated. I immediately called the police to report the car stolen and then took off to look to for my car. I asked him who he sold it to and he mentioned a girl who was planning on moving the next day and that she was on her way to a Movie theater to see a movie."

"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 didnβt see anyone only heard them). I remember being mesmerized by the whole thing and I wasnβt 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 didnβt 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? Iβm not sure how to explain it. I imagine it as the same feeling youβd get when youβre about to jump out of an airplane and skydive for the first time. I donβt 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."
