A couple of mornings ago I went to sleep around 7:30 and I had the weirdest dream...for awhile I have been having trouble remembering my dreams, which is extremely abnormal for me, I'm not the type to just forget a dream..I can recall dreams as far back to being about 4 years old and this is the first time this type of situation has happened to me (and truthfully it scares me)...and before this rut happened I had been dreaming of this certain guy (let's just call him "Bill") that I haven't seen in real life..and I've never talked to over the net..so if your catching my drift you could probably tell this guy is famous...famous in another country......and my friend (who I only know from the internet, so I've never met her) has been having epic dreams about me, her, him, and his twin brother (let's call him.."Tom"). AND....I don't know if this matters or not but allot of the dreams I have remembered have been in german..and they all have "Bill" in them...one more thing..I usually don't continue dreams, if I wake up it's gone....and this dream is really odd for me..because of course I wake up about three times.... anyways... In my dream I was in this cavern that was supposed to be a locker room. Not only was it incredibly nasty but the stalls were unbearably small..so I was changing and *I woke up...then I went back to sleep* there was this person in the dressing room telling me that I was a nightmare catcher..and nightmares are these incredibly dangerous demons that do horrible things *very odd* so I had to do some tasks, which the first two weren't that hard..The first one I had to find the spell book that helped vanquish these nightmares, the second one I had to find these stones that made a figure of a crown...so I got the stones..and I got the spell book..then for my third task I had to go into a crypt and retrieve the final object that would defeat this nightmare.....*drum roll* a sword...but I was terrified to go get it..I mean who wouldn't be with a bunch of decaying bodies every where, so being me I tried to convince this girl to come with me but then I heard "Bill"'s voice telling me, "You can do this I know you can, you have to do this alone. It's the only way" but there was no "Bill" in sight just me in front of a big door THEN *I woke up, yet again, and drifted back to sleep* I went into the crypt and got the sword..nothing really exciting happened except for the mounds of gold everywhere and a huge window..(like the kind at a cathedral or something (I forgot what the type is called)) anyways this huge window was on a wall and the light shining through it was extremely bright, it lit the entire room. There was a little tunnel going to a huge cave that I had to go through to get to the nightmare..so once in the cave this huge shadow sweeps the walls and a ghastly form of shadow was in front of me, it was incredibly large..I would say about eight feet and had glowing red eyes, spikes on his shoulders, horns and when he took steps large wisps of shadow would follow him. * I woke up again and went to sleep* When I was in the room again I was by myself no one in sight but then I saw this darkness come over the cave and "Bill" screamed, "Watch out that's how he gets you" but again No "Bill" was around..then I woke up..... So, I personally believe that the reason I have been dreaming of "bill" is because of a little celebrity crush...but none of my celebrity dreams aren't ever like the dreams I have had with "bill" in them..they're usually just me and (random celeb) sitting around talking about different bands we like (I'm a music junkie) but still I'm not the one to get celebrity crushes..I'm incredibly UNrealistic EXCEPT when it comes to celebs...and a friend also thinks that these dreams aren't just idolization seeping into my subconsciousness...so really I'm extremely confused about it...any thoughts? Just some odd stories: so I was talking to my friend just a couple days ago and she said she past out during lunch and saw "Bill"..well she said this guy looked exactly like him (seeing how he isn't in the states) so I don't know what that was...but right before I went to sleep that morning I had a very strong urge (I rarely get urges) that I should open my door in case if something was to happen to me I could make a quick get away or it wouldn't be that hard to yell for someone. Seeing how the only person in the house at the time was my partially deaf grandmother I really didn't see the need to get back up and open the door....and then later that night when I was in my kitchen I saw a reflection of something in my window run across my living room...then I had another urge (really two urges in one day are remarkable) to stay as far away from my bedroom as possible...anyways I was puzzled by this dream and was wondering if anyone could help me out with this...actually I've been puzzled with all my dreams but this one is just really odd and symbolic...I mean I get allot of stuff in it but it's still weird..like the question that has been bugging the heck out of me, "Why does "Bill" keep appearing in my dreams?" so here I am begging for your advise...it would help tons so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!! P.S: Sorry for the incredibly long rants..I rant when I'm frustrated and have no clue what to do 8P
Depending on whether or not your crush on "Bill" is productive or counter-productive may lead to clues about the dream. If the crush is an obsession you'd be better off without, then the sword may have been a symbol of breaking or cutting off the obsession. I find it interesting that you get a book of "spells." This "Bill" has you under a "spell," in this case being thoughts you can't escape or don't want to escape. At the moment in the cave when you see the shadow, the shadow could represent a part of your shadow self, the part of your inner personality that you hide even from yourself. The part where "Bill" screamed "this is where he gets you" may have meant two things: 1) he's warning you that you are getting close to uncovering a hidden truth about yourself you are not quite ready for, or 2) The voice that warns you "this is where he gets you" was the obsessive side of your personality that is not willing to let go of "Bill."
