first i was with my best friend and we were in a grocery store. I found 10 or 11 dollars in the bathroom XD, so I bought myself some cookies and we left. Then all of a sudden we were all the laundromat and we were supposed to do laundry or whatever. I didn't want to and I had to go to the bathroom (in the dream) so I went to the shop next door and walked around a bit, but they had no bathroom apparently. Then I went into this room that had stairs so I walked up and there was this attic-like area. Then one of my family members (can't remember if it was my mom or dad) were there along with two of apparently dad's family (most of whom I've never met).

They started showing me the features of the attic and said that "we all were renting it", meaning me too. Then one of the guys brought out a doll and it had strings on it and one of those wooden cross things (like a puppet). Someone inside...flipped out, and looked down to see we had the same doll, except without the strings. She freaked out, took the doll's clothes off (?), and ran down the stairs. Then all of a sudden we were at our house and running away from it down the street, and of course I can never really run in dreams, so it was like running through molasses.

Then..I wake up on a totally different street, at night. Not just like in a dream where you're suddenly somewhere else; I mean like lost time. I was sitting on the street, scared, and I got up and started walking, hoping to figure out what day and time it was, and of course if I was still in the same town. I saw people go by on foot and by car (actually saw some of my teachers drive by--but they didn't stop to say hi or anything). It was weird because about halfway through walking I kept seeing this guy, almost like he was following me or something. I'm not sure how we got to talking, but we did, and he said he would help me get home.

Then we were at some sort of place and he gave me a glass of wine. Somehow I figured he was trying to dr*g me or something like that......in the dream he referred to me as "Shelley"....

*end of dream* I woke up about an hour ago.

Is this just my brain being crazy or do you think any of this means anything?

Violets, thanks for sharing your dream, I find it really interesting.

You were in a grocery store, found money in the bathroom, then bought cookies. Usually one might "lose" one's cookies in the bathroom, a switch of sorts? Then you are in a laundry, where one would do "dirty" laundry (or launder money) but you don't want to do that, you're keeping your dirty laundry?

The attic in a building usually means one's intellect/head/thinking, etc. You went from the bathroom and keeping cookies (not only not throwing up but working hard to not throw up, spending energy (money) on keeping your cookies) and dirty laundry to being in your head, then you're suddenly lost. Sound anything like your actual experience?

Your teachers didn't stop, didn't let on if they saw you, didn't see you or help. Then a strange guy shows up and says he'll help you but turns out he is trying to take advantage of you, calls you some other name (which could be the DID and another coming out to deal with this guy?).

wow! what a wicked dream!
It could be possible that this dream your having is pretty much a collection of several events/little dreams?...did you have particular emotions in your dream?...do you remember where and how much the cookies were?......do you even know why you bought the cookies in the first place? XP

-Sorry it took so long for me to get back to this. I read it before but didn't have time or energy to reply.
Turns out we do have a Shellie inside, her twin's name is Alice. Don't actually know a lot about them, but I think Shellie tries to protect Alice. But if Shellie was the one who the guy knew and was trying to manipulate...maybe he felt he had to dr*g her to get her to..cooperate? Dunno....

-Also, I did some "detective work". The day before this dream, we met a new insider who expresses herself through symbolism. I think she was the reason we got the doll/puppet imagery, because she's gotten triggered by similar imagery the last few days.

-About the attic being intellect, maybe it's tied into the doll imagery, feeling like the perpetrators are "in our head"? No clue haha...just guessing...

-I did end up not having the cookies when I was at the laundromat, so maybe I did lose them at some point.

-Possibly many little dreams, because I would be in one place in the dream then magically appear in another. The attic piece, the piece about being at my house and trying to run away, and the losing time/waking up on the street are connected though.
-I only remember being terrified when we saw the doll in the attic and while running away, and being confused and frightened when we lost time and woke up in another place. I usually don't feel in my dreams. My body will react like it feels terror or panic or anger, but 97% of the time I don't actually feel it.
-I wanted a soda, but apparently my own choice was to get cookies. And there were limited variety, so I ended buying Chips Ahoy

its just a `dream.. for a healthy sleep..so dot think much of the latent contents n njoy ur sleep (dreams)

"The eyes are the window to the soul"....looking out or looking in. Was Shellie the one that freaked out? Does she have the doll? Maybe you need to investigate the "attic" of you old home? Is there a doll like that in the past? It was a major trigger for one. May hold the answers to time, place and events.
Just a thought from one with a few.

I started replying to this and I got really spaced out and can't think right now so I'll come back to this when I can. But looking at it now, nearly a month later, more things make sense in it.
More when I can..
