I had a dream where i was wearing a black gas mask. I was trying to scare people and give them a little fright. To my surprise they stared at me with indifferent stares. They weren't afraid at all just looked at me like i was stupid or retarded 4 trying to scare them. I asked them were they afraid of me even a little? They replied no not really, pretty awkwardly... My friend was like dude, just stop man ur making it worse, shaking his head. Any insights into what this might mean?
Sounds like you feel ineffective and powerless about something in waking life. The dream could be about you trying to make people think you are something you're not (wearing a mask), with your unconscious telling you that isn't going to work. A gas mask could have to do with protection from bad influences (keeping out bad air).
I started to remember a few seconds more from my dream, in it i take off the mask and resume my conversations without it, somewhat feeling more angry and worn out for no reason at all.
It sounds like you could be worn out and frustrated from having to do what other people want you to do and not having a chance to be yourself.
