>most of my family is living there (my mom's side)
>there's a sort of marshland in front of the house
>my sister's children are playing around there
>uncle jun from the sopranos is my grandfather (he looks a lot like my grandpa and I had just started watching the sopranos)
>one day he takes me aside into his room
>he takes off his shirt to reveal a huge centipede-like insect with a human face on his chest
>it's burrowed into his heart like some kind of parasite
>it's coiled around itself into a circle. almost looks like armor
>next I'm outside with my sister's kids
>as the surrounding area crumbles into the sea I find that the house was built on a graveyard
>hundreds of graves are disturbed
>we keep the kids away from the graves and make the kinds play further and further away from the house as more graves are found
>I hear the kids scream as they stumble upon a corpse and I run over
>it's covered in moss and gets up and begins wandering around 
>I try to defend the kids from it
>I feel strong emotion from it from it
>it is sad and angry beyond belief but feels impotent somehow
>it seems to be searching for the centipede bug on my grandfather's chest
>wake up

>vast but mostly empty
>everything is made of wood

>I talk to the receptionist

>I'm led upstairs to my room, passing by countless people sweeping the floors and scrubbing the walls

>high cielings
>no bed, furniture, or anything 
>just a couple of windows looking out to the empty ocean
>at this point I notice that the floor is littered with rotting corpses
>they're mostly skeletons with small bits of black flesh still attached
they've been there so long that the black rot has become fused with the floor
>I begin cleaning and scraping the bodies off the floor
>no matter what I do the black outline of where the corpse fell on the floor and was left for ages still remains
>sleep on the floor surrounded by the palimpsests of forgotten lives

I've noticed that many of my dreams involve a hotel/shopping mall/airport hybrid location, and rotting corpses. I've always wondered what that means. Other themes are work/highschool related, but I'd figure that those are pretty common.

This is an old one from when I was 13

>I'm at home in bed
>this is a new house I'm not used to
>at the foot of my bed a silhouette in victorian dress with a hat and veil (my aunt had been collecting weird-ass dolls dressed like that for a while and they always creeped me out) appears with a bone chilling shriek
>I've never been more afraid in my life
>I watch while totally frozen as she walks out of my room very slowly through the hallway and down the stairs
>another louder shriek is heard that shakes the house before she vanishes into thin air
>feel a week or a month go by in the dream
>the scene repeats itself again
>trying to process the fear it brings to mind the scene in the Lord Of The Rings when Bilbo sees Frodo wearing the ring and there's a little jumpscare where Bilbo looks all demonic 
>I feel like I'm frozen in time experiencing that scene for hours when the victorian woman appears
>the morning comes and I try to explain to my family what I saw
>they don't listen at all
>the cycle repeats a couple of times (the woman appears, I try to tell my family, she appears again) before I wake up

The figure I saw was pretty much exactly like the ghost from the movie 'The Woman In Black (2012)', but a few years before the movie came out. I didn't have the heart to watch the movie for a long time.

This was when I was 16 or 17 or so
>it's freezing cold
>I'm in my truck
>I look for something warm to wear but find nothing
> I exit my vehicle wearing a t-shirt and jeans
>I'm in a huge empty parking lot
>I feel that I'm in a big city
>(I'm born and raised in a very small town but my family regularly travels to a city a few hours away for shopping)
>I'm in a parking lot for an antiques store that i always fucking hated going to with my parents as a kid, but I'm by myself
>I pull my phone out of my pocket
>I'm about to text my parents to let them know that I've arrived safely 
>decide against it and put my phone away
>walk into the antiques store
>enter a long hallway lit by only one light in the center of the hallway.
>everything is frozen solid and looks post-apocalyptic
>and small figure starts walking toward me
>I'm frozen in fear
>as the figure passes underneath the light I realize that it is me
>it looks like me but small, frozen, hairless, and looking like a rotting corpse
>when it's a couple feet away from me I hear a woman's voice scream 'DON'T TOUCH MY CHILD' and then wake up

I always took this to mean that I was becoming my parents.. These days I'd love to go to an antiques store and get some neat little decorations for my home but back then there was nothing I hated more.

This is the oldest dream I remember. i think I had it when I was 7 years old

>at home, newly renovated kitchen
>get the feel that our home is being attacked by faceless robbers 
>my father is dying defending me , my sister, and my mother
>He's laying on the new kitchen counter as if he were some kind of sacrifice on an altar
>I felt that he was entrusting the fatherly role to me
>he said to me 'you'll always be my pal'
>'pal' being what he called my mother when they were both in highschool
>wake up the second he dies

This was about a year ago

>I feel I'm on some kind of mission
>it's me, some random asian woman, and an old friend from high school
>we're in a massive building, that is a combination of hotel, shopping mall, and airport
>me, asian woman, and friend arechasing some woman
>the woman gets on an elevator and we have to wait until the elevator is finished because it is only fair
>after we reach the same floor as the woman we slow down and catch our breath
>I find that the woman we are chasing is A2 from Nier Automata
>I find out that one of the women we are taking a break with is the woman we are chasing
>she's A2 from Nier Automata
>I try speaking to her
>I get a dialogue prompt to talk to her
> I get given the choice to kiss her feet or to tell her to fuck off
>wake up before I can choose
