Dream Dictionary Dark figure, Dark Man

I had a dream of a black shadow covering cloak. Before that dream of black shadow, I first Dreamed another. About this black shadow covering in cloak, I see this shadow. Sudden came out from a place I'm familiar with. Almost near our house, as if this shadow was passing by and it sees me. It didn't move, but the cloak covering the shadow is moving because of the wind. As, if it was waiting for me to do something. Even, I'm feeling scared what will happen. I walked pass through it, without any hesitation, I walked through it with strong front. Even I feel kind of scared, when I look back, the dark shadow covering cloak was there and suddenly become someone I know. Someone I don't want to see, yet I can't see that person eyes. Because of I don't want that person came to me, I run away to our house. There I found my grandma, it seems waiting for me. I hide to my grandma back, she said it will be fine, in her looks. Until we have two visitors. The other one was from my first dream and the dark shadow covering in cloak, which is being someone I know. My grandma raises her right hand, while sitting calmly in her chair. Her hand lights up, which make the two visitors calm down. My grandma told me to go inside the house. I see my friends there, my grandma smiles at me and she talked calmly to the two visitors of my dream. Until I waked up.
XD kind of weird tho haha

Dreams featuring black shadows or cloaked figures can often evoke feelings of fear and uncertainty. These types of dreams generally symbolize hidden anxieties, unresolved conflicts, or aspects of yourself or your life that are not yet fully understood. Given your dream's detailed imagery and your relationship with the figures involved, here’s a possible interpretation:

1. Black Shadow/Cloak: This often represents something unknown, hidden, or repressed. The cloak moving in the wind could symbolize something that is not just a static fear but something dynamic, possibly an unresolved issue or an ongoing anxiety.

2. Familiar Place Near Your House: This setting might be a metaphor for personal, familiar struggles that are close to home, so to speak. It may suggest these issues are intimate and personal to you.

3. Encounter with the Shadow: The shadow waiting for you to make a move, despite your fear, can indicate a form of confrontation. You’re being challenged to face this fear or unresolved issue head-on, even though it’s daunting.

4. Transformation into Someone You Know: This is a telling moment. The shadow transforming into someone you know but don’t want to see signifies that this fear or anxiety is connected to a real person. This person might represent past conflicts, negative emotions, or unresolved issues that you have with them.

5. Running to Your Grandma: Seeking refuge with your grandmother could symbolize your need for protection, guidance, and reassurance. Grandparents often represent wisdom and comfort, suggesting that you’re seeking out a stabilizing and supportive presence in the face of your fears.

6. Grandma's Protective Light: Your grandmother raising her hand and emitting light that calms the figures down can be interpreted as a representation of your inner strength and the wisdom you've inherited or gleaned from family. It suggests that there’s a sense of security and power within you that can dispel your fears.

7. Two Visitors: The presence of two distinct figures from your dream can indicate that there are multiple issues or sources of stress that need your attention. Your grandmother’s ability to calm them down reflects your capacity to manage these stresses with the right support and guidance.

8. Friends Inside the House: Seeing your friends inside the house likely indicates the real-life support system you have. Friends are often associated with mutual support, understanding, and emotional safety. Their presence shows that you have beneficial relationships that can provide comfort and solidarity.

9. Grandma’s Reassurance: Her calm and reassuring demeanor, along with her directive for you to go inside, suggests that leaning on wisdom, support, and taking proactive steps to retreat and heal are crucial.
The dream appears to be an exploration of confronting deep-seated fears or unresolved issues connected to someone you know, supported by symbolic figures of guidance and reassurance. Your grandmother's protective light shows you have or can access inner strength to confront and manage these fears. The presence of friends in your home signifies that you are not alone and have a support system to help you through difficult times.

I had a dream with something like that. I was somewhere at night near a somewhat gas station and near train tracks. And I was with two guys in my dream who were in a show, but when I was going to go inside the gas station train track place. There was just this tall (I’m guessing 7’0), black figure, no face, skinny as hell, and was a guy just looking at me not saying anything. It didn’t talk, move, made sound. It was just looking at me even though it had no eyes, mouth, nose, or anything on there face! So I just go inside the gas station and apparently this was a loop dream. And the third time in the dream when I got to the gas station, both of the guys who were with me called me a saint 3 times and when I asked why they just stay quiet and looked at me. And the last thing I saw was the tall dark guy and my hands and I woke up. Weird dream huh?

Let’s consider the elements of your dream and possible interpretations:

1. Setting – Gas Station and Train Tracks at Night: This nighttime location near a gas station and train tracks suggests a transitional space – gas stations being places where people refuel or stop during journeys, and train tracks a symbol of travel and movement. Night often brings with it a sense of mystery or uncertainty.

2. Two Guys from a Show: Their presence might indicate familiarity or comfort in the midst of an unusual or unfamiliar setting, possibly representing aspects of your personality or external influences you identify with.

3. Tall, Black Figure: The figure being dark and faceless can represent the unknown or the unconscious. Being motionless and silent, it may signify something in your waking life that is unknown, intimidating, or beyond comprehension. Additionally, not having a face might imply an identity that you are unable to understand or a situation where you feel unseen or unrecognizable.

4. Entering the Gas Station (Loop): Going into the gas station suggests seeking shelter or refuge from the outside setting. The repetitive nature, or “loop” of the dream, indicates a situation or issue in your life that may be recurring or feels inescapable.

5. Being Called a Saint: Being labeled a saint by the two individuals in the dream could symbolize a view of yourself or a perception by others that you are good, innocent, or perhaps held to high moral standards. When they stayed quiet after calling you this, it might reflect confusion or a search for meaning or identity.

6. The Last Vision of the Tall Dark Figure and Your Hands: Ending with the image of this figure again and your hands might suggest a feeling of being observed or judged, while hands often symbolize action, capability, or the way we interact with the world.

Considering these symbols, your dream might be highlighting feelings of uncertainty or confrontation with unknown aspects of your life. The dream may be pointing to tensions between how you see yourself (and are seen by others) versus some imposing, unknown force or challenge that you are facing.

I am deaf. I recently had a vision in my sleeping to see a black man with his smiles awhile he moved his head softly. He wore a white shirt with a red sweater. I asked him who are you? That was very seconds quickly before I woke. That is my first time to see a black man. Is it amazing? Why could not he talk? That is not Fears.

I noticed two tall men wearing black pointed hats and black cloaks - their face were blackened and not seen. They stood together in a car layby (vehicle rest / temporary parking place) on a country road which I travelled past in my own car. In the dream I though that this was a clever Halloween joke for someone. Until the same two cloaked figures were seen in a few other isolated laybys I drove past. I then realized they were not a trick or treat type joke at all. Halloween was a long way off too.

I had a dream of a dark faceless figure fallowing me everywhere from place to place not saying a word not even walking just happens to be standing wherever I appear I’m my dream and it doesn’t stop until I wake up and now I’m paranoid 24/7 what in the world does that mean?

This was not a dream but im still trying to figure out what this is. about 4-5 years ago when i moved in with my grandmas during the summer, me and my 3 other sibling including my grandma slept in her bed. It was really hot despite the fact that it was during the summer time. i remember i told my grandma i was going to the bathroom and i got up and started walking. the hallways is really short nothing but 4 steps to the bathroom really. on my way to the bathroom i stopped and turned to my right where i saw on my couch a tall black figure sitting up straight with a top hat, and had light red human eyes. i looked and it and and just stared at it wondering what i was looking at but i wasn't scared at all. after staring at it for a couple of minutes i just ignored it and walked to the bathroom and came back but when i looked into the living room it was gone. i went back into the room and told my grandma what i saw but she told me that i saw nothing. till this day i still remember what happend and im trying to figure out what i saw. i did research and saw that it may be the hat man but it dose not look as similar as it was but i found that if i looked at it and i didn't get scared(which i wasent) then it wouldn't do any harm, but if i did get scared it would have done somthing but idk what it was im still trying to figure it out.

My dream seemed so real. I opened my eyes because I felt like I was being stared at. I saw a dark figure standing by my door. I immediately felt anxiety and fear. I noticed my room looked different. I saw vines everywhere, even over my door. My home is usually very dark at night but there was a very bright light coming from the hall. I stared because of how unusual it was. Yellow and orange flickering light. For a moment I thought the house was on fire but I realized I couldn't move. I looked over and the dark figure was still standing there. I closed my eyes and opened them as quick as a blink and everything was normal. No light, no vines, no dark figure. I layed there wandering if what I saw was real or a dream. I seriously don't know. I got up and painted a picture of what I saw. When I look at that painting, I cry because it makes me feel the anxiety and fear I had at the time. Have others had this type of dream before?

When I dreamt about the "dark figure" I wasn't scared and talked to him, almost like i've seen him in my dreams
And he was under the bed, I don't know if he was hiding but it doesn't feel like it

Had a dream of a dark figure young child. In the dream it scared my bull mastiffs as it ran at incredible speed across my yard, past me, and stopped at the front corner of my house. I stood looking at it as it took a step closer to me and stopped and just returned the stare. The figure was highlighted by the light coming from the porch light located around the corner. I calmly turned and went into the house through the back door. This is where the dream ended and I woke up.

i seen the dark man in my dreams last night he was looking for me because he wanted to make sure i wouldn't wake up

I had a dream a couple weeks ago where I was leaving a gas station after getting a snack or something. I was walking through the parking lot and I was stopped by this black figure. It was a human but just completely jet black except for their eyes, they had brown eyes. They pulled out a gun on me and asked me where they could get more powerful guns. I told him I didn't know where and that I couldn't help him. I stared up into his eyes and he looked scared, like he didn't want to do this but he had too. His hand was shaky and several silent moments passed before the sound of a gunshot filled the sky. I felt the sharp, searing pain of the bullet and I fell onto my back. Everything went dark, but I didn't wake up like most people do when they die in a dream. I don't know how much time passed but I woke up in the parking lot again. I checked my body for blood and the bullet hole but neither was there. I got up and ran to my car to go to the hospital. As soon as I left the parking lot I was no longer in my town, I was driving down a two lane road at night. There was no one on the sidewalk and the only thing around me were street lights and buildings. As I kept driving they lights got dimmer and dimmer. It was almost pitch black before I finally realized, I was dead, or in the process of dying, I was heading towards nothingness, the void that is death. That's when I woke up. I wasn't afraid of this shadow man, I wasn't paralyzed with fear, I felt sorry for him cause I could tell that he was in a position that he didn't want to be in. I looked into his eyes and they felt ALMOST human but not quite. I'm a buddhist, I've embraced death, I first made peace with death and dying when I was about 6 years old due to some events that were less than pleasant and maybe that's why I wasn't scared, it's why I could understand how he felt. This is just speculation of course, I've been pouring over this dream for a while and I'm still having trouble deciphering what it meant.

i also had a dream of a completely dark figure except it had (very colorful) eyes. except in my case the figure was clearly my silhouette and it did chase me down but once it got me it just stared into my eyes. no words or anything and i also wasn’t scared of it anymore for some reason. i have no clue what this could mean.

I need some help making sense of this. I was standing at an intersection close to my house, I looked down the street and there was a figured wearing a black hoodie cape, it's face was also black, the entire being was dark. It approached me and I backed away. Seeing it triggered a suppressed memory of me 'escaping' from it multiple times but each time I forgot the experience.( During this other part the figure was saying smthn about a black box.) I looked up the other street where my house is and it was difficult to speak but I managed to call out to my dad and my call turned into a tortured scream that ended the dream.

Kinda embarrassed for believing this could be more than just a dream but there's been some weird things happening in my life lately.

I hope everything is going good in your life. It seems like your getting the message to work on that trauma that you have experiences with escaping. We get messages in our dreams from spirit guides our ancestors and the divine. I believe someone is trying to tell you that. I hope that helps! -peace and blessings <3

I dreamt a dark figure that kinda looked like the neighborhood watch guy. Basically a silhouette of a guy in a trenchcoat and hat with sharp white eyes.

Dream began with me waking up right where I was irl. So the house starts moving as if it were on a train track And I ran downstairs to see my mom cooking but not answering or turning around. I decide to open the door to see what was happening and the house had stopped moving but outside was the dark figure just staring at me as if challenging me.

I wasn't really scared but mostly angry and willing to fight. And after few moments of nothing happening I wake up and run downstairs to see my mom in kitchen. So strange.

I recently just cleansed my home of any negative energies. A day later my daughter had a dream about a a man tall and very skinny with no face just all black following her asking her to allow him in the home, my daughter said she kept telling him no. She said that he was getting angry and continued to ask if he can come in. She said when she woke she didnt feel as if she had been asleep and it felt like real life like how it is as I am typing right now. The following night I had a dream of a the same figure he wanted in the home and I started blessing my home again. Once I was done he was on some steps angry I would not allow him in my home, I was not scared of him and told him to leave my child alone, and he was no longer welcome, and said some curse words at him. When I woke I felt the same as if I had never been asleep and started about my day as if I didnt just wake up needing coffee.

I had a dream last night of a dark tall figure he can in a boat and I thought to myself of a guest so I looked at the ground and seen dirt on the ground so I was like I’m gonna sweep this up before he gets here so I started with the back and made it halfway and I was thinking what to say to him “it’s so clean and calm in here” then stopped because he was here so I walked up to him and he was just standing there he didn’t say anything I didn’t say anything so I walked away and the lady or teacher came and I told her there someone here and so she tried greeting him but he wasn’t there we walked halfway and there was a closet behind up we heard it open and when we looked it closed then there was a closet on the other side it opened when we were paying attention to the other one and when we look it closed we were really scared so we started running and he came after us the lady ended up dying he stuck like a pointy stick looking thing through her but it came from his body so I used her body as a shield while I tried gettin away from him i ended back up next to the closets but this time it was only 1 closet that opened and closed he popped out of it and so I ran I dropped the lady and was thinking “I need to wake up I don’t want to be here anymore” so I was running towards the closets and I ran in a little corner room thing and made a teleporting hole 🕳 like that but it was green and had a bright glowing light and I jumped in it before he was coming he only made it through a little bit then I woke up.

I had this dream last night. I was walking a part of my town with my friends, it looked unfamiliar, but we all headed into this dark street, it kept getting darker towards our destinaton, it was basically pitch black. from there we kept going forward into this hotel like place, we walked for the stairs, but I somehow got stuck a bit behind, I got to the stairs and turned around, and he was there, the black humanoid figure, constant smile, it was like he had face paint on but all over him except his eyes and mouth and he was just crouching down near a shelf or desk of some sorts, I tried to run up the stairs but I woke up just as I got half way up.

My dreams really scare me and the fear I'm feeling while I'm dreaming makes me think it was not a dream it feel so real. My last dream I was dreaming I was lying in bed ready to go to sleep.. But everywhere in my room there was dark shadows with devil horns. They were trying to get me. The level of fear in my dream makes me feel like it was no draem.

So I had this dream probably about 10 years ago now, but I still remember it so vividly.
At first I was just look out with a few people and we all decided to drive out to some random field (not any place I've been to in real life.) We were suddenly in this field that was completely surrounded by trees, Andrew had the cars parked in there, too. Suddenly something caused everyone to run, and I hid behind this random jeep (again, not any vehicle I actually knew.) I decide to peek out from behind the jeep when I see this shadow figure standing across from me at the edge of the field, right at the tree line. It sees me and suddenly comes flying towards me, and when this figure basically flies into me is when I suddenly wake up gasping for breath. It felt so evil. I don't remember ever seeing eyes or any specific features, it was just a black shadow figure shaped like a person.

I had a recent dream last night it was so vivid... i dream vividly all the time but this dream was different.. it felt different in someway. When i dream like this, i can change the dream or the places or the events in this kind of dreams but last night i couldn't at all. i felt everything the pain the emotions that were happening in this certain time frame. i never experience this pain before i know how cats love nibbles feel like but i never had a cat bite me enough to draw blood. in this dream the cat was black with a cure little sweater on and then i also experienced having a dark figure in the dream as well what could my dream mean? i need answers because im an empath....

i had a dream that I fell alseep and in my dream I was dreaming and seen a small dark figure looking at me around a corner of the room. what does that mean?

My dream felt so real. I was sitting in the dining room at my grandfather's house. Know that some parts of this house we exactly what my grandfathers house looked like but other parts didn't. There was me and some family members talking at the table when I noticed my little brother walking toward a door of the kitchen area. He opened the door and I k we right away what was going to happen for I had this dream once before when I was a child maybe 8 or 9. I'm 22 today. I ran up to him grabbed him and brought him back to the table. Try to explain to my family there is something dark in that room. No one believed me while little brother was motionless in my arms, almost like he was asleep.

All of a sudden he disappeared out of my arms just gone. That's when everyone started to pay attention to what is going on. My mother she grabbed a flash light and start to walk into the dark room. I was right behind her as the rest of the family was searching the rest of the house for him. For some reason I remember my mom saying Aydin (my little brothers name) are you in a grave or dark area? That's when he started to yell for help. Say he was and we could hear him loud and clear coming from another door in the dark room. As my mom opened that door the figure flew out but there was my brother under a cement step. Some how we got him out but that was not the end. As we left the dark room ot all started to happen to me all over again. I remember going upstairs in the house shortly after and opening a door and there was the dark figure just staring at me. So I ran back down stairs. I went to the bathroom and he was out side the bathroom window just staring at me. Not saying a word to me. Every room he was creeping behind something. Continuously staring at me. Until I started to yell at it. Telling it it wasn't allowed here, that I didn't accept him to be here or around me. To leave and this was not his home. That this is its chance to leave before I got someone professional to get rid of him for me. That's when i woke up. It was so intense but felt so real. Like I went through this as a child in real life or something. Very strange hope someone can help me understand this dream a bit more... thank you!

The dark shadowy figure of a man in my dream in hindsight was creepy but the thing that worried me was the indifference I had for him in my dream state.

I was sitting in the livingroom of the house I lived in when i was a teen. My current bf came walking through the door with my first love and two unknown men. They walked right by me and exited out the patio door to the backyard.There was an nostalgic gleeful smile on my face as i watched them through the blinds and I started to unbraid my hair in anticipation of impressing my first love when he walked back through. I finally got my hair down and detangled when they came back in. As my bf and first love passed my hair became instantly disheveled with their passing. i paid no regard to my bf but i caught a quick glimpse of him at the edge of my dream in my peripheral about to exit the front door . For some strange reason I was fixated on my first love yet he was obviously avoidant of me. He was covering his face with his hands in an attempt to hide himself from me. I heard the frantic obsessive plea in my thoughts, "No dont leave me, please dont leave," i was begging him to stay internally but externally I kept a placid demeanor encased in an effortless fake plastered smile. While my thoughts repeatedly rambled out my plea one of the unknown men approached me with a charming smile and a genuinely open friendly demeanor. He had obvious interest in me and began to speak to me but all i could hear were my anxious rambling thoughts, although I made it seem like I was listening, his voice fell on deaf ears and an indifferent heart, he was completely silenced. While all of this was going on, in the back ground I saw a tall slender dark shadowy man lurking in the shadows of the corners of the room. He was moving in a staggered quick almost glide towards the front door as if he was adamant about remaining hidden from my sight. Still I was fixated on my ex, even as they all left out of my house I followed them in a hurry trying to catch him. They led me to a full parking lot where they all loaded up into a white van. I got in my car across the lot from the van and braced myself for the drive. I sat there watching in anticipation and contemplating my next move as uncertainty etched its way into my perceived convictions. I was stalled with indecision and stagnant with inaction.

I had a dream last night, where my dark figure definitely wasn't human. They were taller than me, to where my head was around their chest. I'm 5'8. They had a fog coming from their body, and they spoke with my voice, but in my head. They kept repeating "did it hurt?", "do you know what you did?", and "how do you feel?" until I woke up.

The dream took place inside a diner, and it was completely empty besides another shadow figure that was closer to my height wiping down the counter. Outside was pitch black, and everything inside was covered in a layer of dust.

I saw a black figure outside of my house and it keeps disapearing. and reapearing. in my dreams.

i was in hell running from him its been happening for 3 weeks now i dont know why i feel like im burning then i wake up covered in sweat

mine was sorta weird, i was walking out of my childhood home to go to the car and get some groceries from the car (it was midnight) as i was walking i looked to the side and about 2 meters away was a tall almost skinny black featureless man standing there watching me. he was a little taller than your average door with long arms his fingers(which he only had three on each side) reached his right below his knees. anyways he was just standing there i wanted to run even scream for my dad but i knew it only would've been more scary i think a little part of me knew it couldn't be real. he started making a noise it was like a yell although it was staticky and it got louder and louder, i just stood there watching him, then he started walking over slowly then started running, he lunged at me and hugged me from behind his head was in-between my shoulder and my neck, the weird thing about this though is i could almost feel his breath either it was super cold or burning hot because it kind of felt like it was burning. his arms were around me and i just stood there i cant explain how shocked i was mostly scared, i just started saying in gods man you cannot hurt me over and over again he faded away then i calmly walked back to the house and that's how it ended

OMG Mine was sninister there was much more to the dream but I was walking away from a mountain that I had fear of, I gave one last look and saw a man in a grey hoodie, i was in my car, this man climbed into the underside of a car, but then i realized it was a chipper, he killed himself I saw all the blood, but he was standing in human form and glared at me.... Anyone know what this could mean??
