So when I go to sleep now, even for a nap, on occasion I'll have a nightmare. This involves a (starts small) alien tentacle monster that expands and kills everyone but me.

The part thats bothersome, is that none of the nightmares have been the same.

First, it ate my home town, but I survived.

Next, I was in a government facility that was trying to research a way to fight it, it broke quarantine and killed everyone, but I survived again.

Now, I just woke up from a rural farm home that was eaten by the alien monster thing. Really nice family there too, and I survived.

What does it all mean?

My only recurring dream series involved muppets singing in a swamp.

In the last one, machines took over the world, so the muppets decided they had to leave this ruined planet. They flew off into space and I never saw them again.

I have two or three different recurring dreams. They've been ongoing since my teens. I also have a lot of "being chased by implacable/invincible villian" dreams.

If you see any muppets, tell them it's okay, the robots are gone now, I'm pretty much over the whole 'machine uprising' idea.

Oh, and good luck with your tentacle monster. I think it just wants to be your friend, but killing everyone other than you is the only way it can communicate.

i had a recurring nightmare about a gang of traditional monsters (werewolf, vampire, mummy) that at first were my enemies but I negotiated a strained friendship, never quite sure if they were going to turn on me and kill me anyway.

Next time it shows up try talking to it. Your subconscious is likely trying to say something.

Nightmare monster here.

He won't listen to me so I'll tell you. I'm trying to get him to use his vacation time before the year ends. He never does, and he loses it because they don't roll over, Jerry. They just don't.

Jerry, you need to spend some time with your wife, some quality time. You're always at the office, never home. She's lonely, Jerry. She's lonely and the only meaningful interaction she's had with man in the past four months has been with her trainer. I shouldn't have to tell you where this story is going.

She wanted kids. You wanted to wait. Soon, but soon never came and now she thinks it's too late. And now she doesn't even have you around. You need to fix this.

You're going to lose everything: family, house, sobriety, job. That's the symbolism I'm going for in the dream when I kill everyone around you.

Play more videogames op. Interactivity in three dimensional space (so not 2d mario) tends to carry over to dreams and provides an avenue of transition from nightmare to normal dream.

Adopt a lamprey eel and throw it at anyone you encounter and shout "HAhaha yes! feed my little tentacle! FEEEED!" is what your subconscious is trying to tell you to do because you obviously are really about that life.

i had a similar dream. i was in the middle floor of a skyscraper waiting for an elevator to head down. it was several floors above of me. i hear the cable snap. screeching and cables whipping all about. i close my eyes and duck. i feel the wind of a cable brush over my neck as it slices through the air. I get up off the floor and everyone but me is decapitated/sliced in half from the snapped cable.

edit: maybe the elevator cable was a giant tentacle? idk i had my eyes closed.

Dreams are awful but nightmares are not the worst. I had multiple false awakenings, each of them breaking the illusion when I recognized that I was waking up in a bedroom
from years ago. Now that is fuckings annoying. I mostly don't remember dreams but that happened weeks ago and I still remember it. Give me anime perv tentacle nightmares please.

i love when dreams and nightmares continue between sleep sessions
there was one where i was driving toward a gothic city at night that towered like a mountain. when i got there vampires i couldnt see watching me from the shadows (had sort of a spectator angle of was going on there). not really scary. more like art and ambience. im not sure what i was looking for but it was awesome

Op you need to think outside the box on this one. Try bombarding the tentacles with electrons or give it a fig to eat. You also need to consider fighting or being absorbed by it. Or eat it yourself to gain its power.

Sleep on your side and with a fan or some other constant noise on. That's how I keep from having nightmares every night (only have a couple a week which is pretty good since I've been having them since I was a kid).

A couple days ago I had a dream that I was part of a team of thieves and we got a hot tip that some dude was holding stolen diamonds for his brother who was in prison

So I was the safe cracker and everyone else rigged up a situation where this guy had to leave his apartment so I had an in. Dude was a slob and left the door unlocked. I got in and it was sick nasty, just reeked of bong water, BO, spoiled food. Walls were all dirty and gross. Get to the safe, get it open. Two small boxes of the diamonds. But there was something else: a cardboard box of hard drives, potential real score. They were the old big and heavy style.

But the bottom of the safe was a pressure plate, and if I grabbed them out he'd know. So I looked around for something to replace them with. It was all rotting trash and hosed up pans that would stink even worse and make him check the safe, but I go in this other room and it was a ton of magic the gathering cards. Like all kinds, tens of thousands, even the super old ones. Turns out this guy made money buying and selling them. Enough to live like a piece of poo poo at least.

I grab a bunch of them. They're gross feeling because of the humidity and general stank of the place. Radio in: he's coming back I need to wrap it up.

It was a real hair raiser, super close, but I was able to use some of the cards to keep the plate from triggering, and get all the actual valuable stuff into the bag. Usually it's in and out, leave no traces, but that's not gonna work this time. I make it look like someone who didn't know what they were doing snagged whatever boxes or loose cards looked valuable and ditched back out the front, then I bail out the fire escape. Split second slower and he would have noticed me.

Had to run quick and quiet, end up in some weird part of town where the street signs were in Czech. It was looking bleak but the team eventually gets me and nobody noticed or talked about seeing me. Later on we found out he actually called the cops and reported the theft. Apparently he never even knew the safe code and never thought it was hosed with. The harddrives had old pirated video games and porn from the late nineties.
