Hey everyone! I had a dream last night that disturbed me and woke me up.

In the dream I was with a couple friends in what seemed to be a cave. We were inthe dark about to go further in when we heard a girl screaming, a couple times, and it was getting closer and closer. Then I told everyone not to move....and we were all still in the dark.

However, a flashlight was shined on my face and everyone was pretending that they were dead, even me. Some scary man in a scientist's lab coat was looking over us, and I saw some mutilated, cut up bodies lying around on the ground.

Then it was as if I was one of my friends, and the scientist picked my body up and I let it be limp as if I were dead. He said "Oh not dead, just unconscious I see." So I let my eyes be open a little bit because it seemed better for me to appear unconscious to him than dead.

Then he put my body down and I was trying to figure out how to get back in my body so we could all leave, and I couldn't quite do it so I just started running and told my friends to run. At this point I was in a huge school, running down stairs and the scientist screamed, "I will beat you!" As if in a race.

It was as if I was trying to find someone in charge to report the scientist, and I happened upon a huge lounge-like area. It belonged to the person in charge of the school....and nobody was allowed in there. That's all I can remember. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

I often have odd dreams like the one you described.  Sometimes they are silly and funny.  Other times I find them disturbing and they can bother me for days.  

When I am trying to get over a dream I often think about where I have been over the past couple of weeks and what I have seen.  Our subconscience often picks up things that our conscious mind does not seem to notice.  Perhaps a horror movie playing in the background about a mad scientist, perhaps a friend who has recently experienced a death.  Taking a look for similarities like this can sometimes take some of the oddball things away and you can focus on the signs in the dreams that are more meaningful.

The friends that you were with, is there some outside force that you feel is trying to seperate you from them.  Is there some kind of threat to the relationship that you are not recognizing?  Perhaps the other bodies were past relationships that have been ruined from this or other sources.

When you say that you were in your other friends body, that sounds like some kind of control issue.  Perhaps you feel they are controling you or that you wish you had more control on them?

I can't hep but notice your age and I wonder if you are in college.  If you are, the race in the school may be pressure to be the best, whether that be grades or some other activity.  If you are not in college, it may be a sign that you feel you are being left behind by not attending school.  The exclusive lounge sounds like you feel there are obstacles that are blocking you from achieving the academic goals you may have.

I often wonder if these odd dreams are just random feed back from my subconscious regarding my everyday life.  If you can't find some reasoning in this dream, you may try to look for reoccuring themes in your dreams, sometimes that helps with interpretation.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much! That does make sense. My mind tends to put the things I've seen/heard throughout the day into my dreams sometimes.

Also what you said about pressure in school sounds about right. Not necessarily pressure to be the best, just to do good. I guess I'm afraid of slipping behind because I'm trying to get serious about college whereas I kind of slacked off before.

And what you said about control was spot on! I definitely feel like some people are controlling my life, and that just having some people in my life is making it unpleasant for me. I guess I wouldn't have looked at the body invasion in the dream that way on my own!

Thank you for helping me! :D Gotta love those oddball dreams eh??
