Anxiety Dream: Lost in a Dark Building, Running Toward the Light and the Road

I had a terrifying dream last night: I was inside a building at night. The corridors were empty, every room was empty. I wanted to find the exit. I called out for people, but no one answered. Then it felt like it was getting darker and darker. I ran and ran, ran and ran, and finally made it out, but I was still in the pitch-black outdoors. In the distance was a large building similar to the Aranya Lonely Library, with a giant sculpture next to it. The large building and the sculpture were bathed in light. I kept running toward the light and finally reached the road.

Dreaming of Failing Exams and the Fear of Floating on Water

In the dream I kept doing exam papers, and they handed me back many papers I had already finished, but with low scores—Chinese, biology, English exams and the like. Then I dreamed my husband and I fell into the water, with me at the bottom. We fell into a pool, and the duckweed in the pool held me up. But I was so afraid there were snakes under the duckweed. After getting up, the clothes on my bottom were wet, and I went into a clothing store. The clerk said the cheapest pants were 8 bucks, and together with a top, she asked me for 100. I said I'd just give her 8. Then she said to give her 20. I refused, took off the pants, and gave them back to her. My original clothes had somewhat dried because I dawdled for so long. And there were so many people. Now my head is spinning.

Dreaming of Blanking in Class and Classmates Doing Drugs by the River

Had a fucking nightmare. Dreamt I was at school going over exam papers, got called on to answer but knew absolutely nothing. Then, walking home after class, all the classmates walking by the river were smoking and doing drugs. I didn't dare get close to them, but there were too many people. Someone flicked a cigarette butt and it landed right between my fingers. As the crowd kept walking, there was a traffic jam of people. Terrifying dream.

Earth's Destruction: The Angels' Immortality Scam and Cultivating a Lonely New Home

Earth's Destruction: The Angels' Immortality Scam and Cultivating a Lonely New Home

I had a dream last night that the Earth was about to be destroyed. A group of angels disguised as humans chose me and sent me to an alien planet, which was the new home they had selected for humanity. The angels had already replicated some buildings on the planet, but they lacked someone to reclaim and cultivate the land, so they chose me. I was to cultivate the planet all alone for 144 years, until the Earth was destroyed 144 years later and all of humanity migrated over. To make me willing to come to this alien planet and cultivate it, the angels secretly orchestrated a series of events that caused conflicts and friction between me and the people around me, severing my emotional ties with others on Earth so that I would have no attachments left and could go to the alien planet without looking back. But how could an ordinary human live for 144 years? So the angels told me that although I had to farm in solitude for 144 years, they were also giving me a gift: immortality. At first, I was quite happy to hear this news; immortality was something I had always desired, and trading 144 years for infinite life seemed like a pretty good deal. But then it suddenly occurred to me: if the angels could manipulate me and sever my feelings for Earth, then my desire for immortality might also have been implanted by them. The angels seemed to wear a somewhat sly smile, silently acknowledging this. These angels were very interesting; they didn't have the wings and halos of traditional angelic imagery, nor did they have divine faces. In appearance, they were completely ordinary people wearing ordinary clothes. Not only did they look like humans, but they also behaved like human corporate drones. My first day on the alien planet was quite lively; the angels had set up some Earth-like buildings, including a fast-food restaurant, where they ate and chatted. By the second day, the angels were gone, leaving only one manager who was packing up and getting ready to leave, telling me that dropping me off meant their task was complete and they were clocking out from work. See you in 144 years.
