Dream Dictionary Dragged

I was in the middle of a random dream in which I was outside. I felt very sleepy and opened my door to go inside and was immediately on the floor being dragged through my house to my bedroom and to my closet. Which is what I was facing and opened my eyes as soon as I was dragged to the exact place I was sleeping in real life. Everything in the dream felt quite real.

Starting with the scenario, you were outside, feeling very sleepy, and then you opened your door to go inside—a transition from the external world to your inner sanctuary. The act of feeling sleepy often indicates a need for rest, peace, or escape from the external pressures of your waking life. It can symbolize a desire to retreat and find safety within oneself, reflecting a quest for inner tranquility and solitude.

The next part of the dream involves a sudden and unexpected shift: you found yourself being dragged through your house. This element can be unsettling and feel like a loss of control. Being dragged against your will often represents feelings of powerlessness or being pulled in a direction you're not ready or willing to go. It might suggest that, in your waking life, you're experiencing situations or emotions that are moving too fast for you, or that you're being forced into decisions or situations without your consent.

Dragged to your bedroom implies a return to a personal, intimate space. Bedrooms in dreams are often symbolic of a person's private self, a place of retreat, rest, and personal thoughts. The fact that you ultimately face your closet upon being dragged suggests there might be unseen or hidden aspects of yourself that you are confronting. Closets in dreams can often symbolize secrets, repressed emotions, or aspects of yourself that you keep hidden from others and sometimes even from yourself.

Opening your eyes precisely in the position you were sleeping in real life creates a powerful connection between the dream world and reality, showing the immediacy and realism of the experience. This convergence suggests that your subconscious is drawing your attention to something very real and pressing in your waking life that you need to address. It could be an unresolved issue or a hidden emotion surfacing to be acknowledged.

So, interpreting this dream:
1. Desire for Retreat: You have a strong need for peace, rest, and a break from external pressures.
2. Loss of Control: You might feel like you're being forced into situations or decisions that you are not comfortable with, representing feelings of powerlessness.
3. Inner Confrontation: There are possibly hidden aspects of yourself, repressed emotions, or secrets that you are being urged to acknowledge and confront.
4. Real-life Reflection: The vivid, realistic nature of the dream draws a direct connection to your waking life, suggesting the issues reflected in the dream are immediate and pressing.

Here's an example interpretation for a typical dream with similar elements:
Kevin dreams of walking through a bright meadow, feeling immensely tired. He heads toward a familiar house and, upon entering, is suddenly dragged through dark hallways to his bedroom. He faces his closet and wakes up, feeling a jolt of reality as he finds himself in the exact position he was sleeping in.
In Kevin's dream, the meadow represents his desire to find a peaceful escape. The sudden shift to being dragged through dark hallways symbolizes his feeling of losing control over certain situations in his life, possibly at work where decisions are made without his input. The fact that he ends up in his bedroom facing his closet indicates his struggle with personal issues or emotions that he has been reluctant to confront. Finally, waking up in the exact position he was sleeping emphasizes the urgent need for him to address these real-life concerns and find a way to regain control and acknowledge his hidden feelings.

In summary, your dream seems to be telling you to take a moment to rest, confront any hidden issues head-on, and regain control in areas where you feel powerless.

I keep having this recurring night terror that im sleeping alone on my back in my bedroom at my old apartment. i wake up to something, a large dark figure, i cant hear it breathing heavily as it grabs me by my ankles and aggressively drags me from my bed onto the the floor and down the flight of stairs to a basement. i cant ever see its face just from its shoulders and down. but i dont recognize this basement and the second i hit my head on the bottom step everything goes black and i wake up… the dream is the exact same every time and my boyfriend says i scream in my sleep like an ear piercing screams and yell “get off me” and “leave me the fuck alone” while flailing my arms or legs like im trying to shake something off of me. please can you try to interpret this dream possibly? my doctor says its just my manic depression and my borderline personality disorder causing the night terrors but but i dont think he’s right..

I'm not qualified to provide professional psychological advice. However, I can give you a general perspective on how such a dream might be approached from a psychological point of view.
Recurring dreams, particularly nightmares or night terrors, can often be the mind's way of processing stress, anxiety, fear, or trauma. The content of the dream can be symbolic and may not necessarily be related to actual events but rather to emotions or concerns.

In your described dream, several elements stand out:
1. The old apartment: This could symbolize a previous phase of your life or memories associated with that period.
2. The dark figure: Often in dreams, dark figures can represent the unknown, repressed emotions, fears, or aspects of oneself that one might be struggling with.
3. Being dragged: The sensation of being dragged against your will might reflect a feeling of powerlessness or being out of control in a situation in your waking life.
4. The basement: Basements often signify the subconscious mind or aspects of the self that are hidden or repressed.
5. Hitting your head and everything going black: This could symbolize an abrupt end or a blockage to understanding or confronting the issue at hand.

Your reaction in the dream and the physical response your boyfriend observes (screaming and flailing) suggest that the dream is indeed causing a significant emotional and physiological reaction.

It's important to take into account that the interpretation of dreams can be highly individualistic. Your own personal associations with the symbols and events in the dream are critical to understanding its meaning for you. It's also worth considering that your doctor's opinion (that the night terrors are related to your diagnoses) should not be dismissed and may very well be correct, as conditions such as manic depression and borderline personality disorder can influence sleep patterns and dream content.

Your doctor's insights are based on an understanding of your personal medical history and should be considered in the larger context of your treatment. However, if you feel that this interpretation does not fully resonate with you or if the night terrors are particularly distressing and persistent, it could be beneficial to consult with a mental health professional specializing in sleep disorders or a therapist who has experience with dream analysis. They can work with you to explore the dream further, along with any underlying issues that may be contributing to the night terrors, and can help you find strategies to manage and reduce their occurrence.

I had a dream where I was walking in my room to pick up my clothes. One of my pairs of jeans was sitting there on the floor. As I bent to pick it up, some unidentifiable and invisible entity grabbed me by my middle and wrapped a shirt around my neck in an attempt to strangle me, I suppose. That wasn't necessarily the scary part. The scary part was waking up and feeling as though the entity was still in the room with me. By the way, the grammar of this whole explanation on 'dragged' needs a grammar check and an actual expert...

bro, we have the same dream, it was pretty accurate as yours. i was dreaming about having someone's house chores but i'm with a friends and a father of my friend. i picked up the bamboo broom and i'm about to start the chores like im'a brush the dust on the floor but when i step down to the stairs, someone touch my middle (my waist) and started to dragging me down. when i woked up i can't move my body, but i can move my eyes around. when i check my phone, it was already 3 exact am in the morning, and i feel something strange like someone's watching me and it terrifies the hell out of me.

this was a short dream but i had one of me passed out in my school auditorium and getting dragged by something down the aisles

I had a dream about finally arriving to a state I would be moving to soon, and in daytime, spending my time in an apartment with my roommate. Once it turns nighttime and we are outside, just to take in the environment and walk around, my roommate grabs me and tells me they know where the bunny man bridge is at and I grow uncomfortable. I told them I didn't want to go and that I was genuinely afraid and didn't have a good feeling, and instead of listening to me, they started to drag me there and I was sobbing that I didn't want to go. I was completely confused when I woke up cos it also turned into other paranormal events in the dream, but I've decided to leave that part out.

i used to have multiple reacurring dreams but this is one that scared me the most. I would be sitting at the top of a hatch down in the ground, my whole family would go down the hatch into my basement one by one and they wouldnt come back. so in the dream i would go down their, there was a bunch of clutter in the basement and it was pitch black the floor was a really old wood. things would grab my legs aand arms but i would shake them off until more grabbed me all over and they eventually brought me under the wood panels, i am pretty sure there was more to it but its pretty vivid 🙂 i do remeber being terrified tho lol. any idea if you could interpret that?

Recurring dreams, particularly unsettling ones, can be a powerful indicator of underlying stressors or anxieties in your waking life. In trying to unpack your dream, let's explore some common themes and their potential meanings:

1. The Hatch: A hatch often symbolizes the threshold between two realms or states of being. Your family descending one by one could represent transitions or changes in family dynamics, or perhaps feelings of separation from your family or the loss of them in some way.
2. The Basement: Basements in dreams typically represent the subconscious mind, hidden memories, or repressed emotions. Being cluttered and dark, the basement may indicate confusion, unresolved issues, or fears that reside beneath your conscious awareness.
3. Isolation and Fear: Your family not returning from the basement could symbolize feelings of isolation or abandonment, and your descent might represent your desire to understand or reconnect with them.
4. Old Wood Floor and Darkness: The antique nature of the wood and the darkness could reflect feeling out of touch with aspects of your life or family, or a sense of historical or traditional values. It might also portray the aspect of your life that is unexamined or not clearly understood.
5. Being Grabbed: This is a pretty direct manifestation of fear. It could signify feeling trapped or overwhelmed by circumstances or emotions that you feel you have little control over. The physical sensation of being grabbed can also reflect an acute sense of vulnerability or helplessness.
6. Pulled Under the Panels: Being pulled under could represent deep-seated fears of losing oneself or being consumed by dark thoughts or aspects of your life. It suggests a fear of being overtaken by external pressures or internal conflicts.

The overall theme of your dream seems to revolve around themes of anxiety, loss of control, and perhaps fears about family or personal issues that seem difficult to confront. Given that this dream recurs and brings about feelings of terror, it might be pointing to a significant source of stress or concern in your life that you might not be fully addressing.
Consider what was happening in your life around the time these dreams began. Were there significant changes within your family or personal life? Any challenges or fears that were coming to the surface?

Someone else dreamed I was in a survivor game and I got dragged into a grotto by a hippo .. what does that mean

i used to have recurring nightmares when i was younger about being pulled into the darkness by some force. this would happen in different places and settings but the main one was my house, which was detailed and super accurate, down to a pair of sunglasses or a book on the kitchen table. i would be in bed and feel the need to get up then get pulled by some force like a vacuum and it would always try and pull me into my dark basement. i would hold onto the legs of the kitchen table to not get pulled and in my dreams i would never actually get pulled into the darkness or if i did my dream would end. these dreams i remember vividly even though they happened years ago. i remember hearing a voice from the darkness trying to lure me in too. other settings were a school or this huge mansion and i was alone. any solid interpretation?

I dreamed about a dark figure of a tall man. Stepping out, slowly inside the small wooden something like s bathroom or waiting shed, looking at me, so he's standing infront of our gate, like he wants or need something to me, or maybe he wants to talk with me. So, I looked at my cousin and run inside. But as I tried to run, he's pulling me using his power or a wind to pull me where he was standing at. Now, as he tried to pull me, my cousin pulled out her hand and I quickly hold her hand.

I looked back at HIM, and there I saw his clothes clearly, but not HIS face. He's wearing a black turtleneck top with a long sleeves, with a denim pants which is I think fitted and a black shoes. And his hair is just a simple style one. He still trying to pull me using his power or a wind, and here I am, still holding my cousin's hand tightly, so he can't get me. As a second or minute had passed, he gave up and walked away slowly, not averting his looks or eyes on me, as he's trying to say that he will be back again.

Anybody knows what's that dream means?

I have had a few dreams they were all in different places. The strange thing happens when I am leaving each location once I get in the car I began to be pulled backwards, I press on the brakes trying to stop but I'm constantly being pulled backwards. I never get hurt and always manage to end up in a strange place. Anyone have any idea what I'm missing in this? Thanks

I just had a dream about driving a rruck at work..the teuck seemed to lose control but I stopped it on the road before anything bad happened. Then after another driver took the truck over and returned us and the truck to the shop. I was questioned by someone about what happened. A guy from work was there and was saying that my speed is usually fast. After it was done I was outside the office at work. Trying to sgand up and remain concious. I could not fight it, my eyes couldnt stay open and I felt really, really weak. As I was trying to yell or even just talk to anyone to help. I tripped over some materials and while trying my hardest to just keep my eyes open, something started dragging me away. I then woke up..it felt so real. There are more details to this and I would like to talk further with someone about this. Im 36/M strong minded and healthy. I was not scared of anything in the dream but I did have absoulty no control at any part of it.

Hi can anybody explain what it is to dream of a hand coming from a door and grab i g me as if tryin to pull me out of bed and when the hand grabbed me I lost my voice

I literally had the same dream. I'm so shocked in fear because you had the same dream as me. No matter how loud you yell no one hears you. I had it more than once and that whats scares me because I don't want it to happen again

I had the same dream im 15 now and i had it when i was about 11 and i remember i went to sleep in my moms bed because i kept waking up to a kid at the bottom of my room so i slept in my moms room and i felt i was getting dragged with my right arm and i was getting dragged towards my wardrobe as i got to the wordrobe door i opened my eyes looked up to my arm and nothing was there i was svcared so i punched out at whatever was pulling me and i lost my voice as soon as i punched out my arm dropped and i woke up in bed shaking really bad and almost felt like crying i remember very second and still confuses me worst thing i have ever dreamt of

I had a dream that i was dreaming (i know, weird) that i was trying to fall asleep, then all of a sudden something dragged me by my feet almost off the bed and it stopped. I was so terrified i remember in the dream i was motionless and all i could do was scream for my mom or someone to help me. It is by far the worst dream i've had this week.

I have this reoccurring dream where I get our of bed and walk downstairs but there is a shadow on them so I step over it and when I get to the bottom its dark and the shadow drags me up, I wake up before I know if it was dragging me to safety or not I wake up...?

I had a dream where I was in bed and it was dark and then this shadowy figure appears in front of my bed and grabs me by my feet and starts dragging me off the bed I couldn't move or scream my arms and legs were frozen and the shadow just kept dragging me and out of the house I opened my mouth but nothing came out not a word or a scream, then I woke up and was trying to scream but nothing came out and I was paralyzed as well it was scary cuz u would once u woke up from such a dream u would be able to move but no my body wouldn't move even after I woke up and I still felt like there was something by my bed ready to make my nightmare come even more true once my body was able to move I couldn't go back to sleep for a while

I had almost the exact same dream last night. The only difference was I woke up before the thing pulled me off the bed. But word for word everything else. I'm incredibly stressed out and I think that's why. I hope we dont have it again.

I had the same dream, more than once it felt like I could actually feel the bed sheets as I was being dragged out of my bed. I have a hole in my closet that leads to the attic that is where it kept trying to take me to, until one night i decided to try and stay calm and not wake myself up it stopped once it dragged me up my closet.. My suggestion is let it take you where it wants everyone is different but I have not had the dream anymore since then. Hope this helps

I had the same dream, but i always get up and go back to my bed. When i finally opened my eyes, i was on my bed. I looked at the time, it was jist after three and was unable to sleep. I was horrified, but still got the nerves to tell whoever was bothering to "leave me the hell alone or else" when you show fear, they will smell it and continue on
Tell them forcefully to go and scare someone without problems. Hope that helped.

I had the same kind of dream , I'm in college and I dreamt that they were at the head of the bed and they were pulling on me but I was having sleep paralisys and coudn't get up, however I dreamt it was a frind laying on the floor laughing..... I don't know what ths means and I could really use some help.

I had the exact same dream, I couldn't scream and I was dragged across my hallway, I wanna know why I keep having these dreams

i had a dream where something i dont know was pulling me in the corner of a dark room away from a slightly open door..

Every time i dream... i'm with a group of people. Preferably my mom and my brother. Somehow i walk away and something tries to pull me by me feet into a dark room. I don't know what the figure looks like at all. It grabs my feet and pulls me out from under myself and i land on my stomach and i get dragged almost into a pitch black room. I escape every time, but i need answers.

I have had the same dreams for years !

I have the same dream, and my brother dreams the same too. It can be terrifying

My head was pulled down into the pellow. The dream was going nice then suddenly i stopped and noticed a hand in the wall touched it and sunddenly was moving then a hand from behind wrapes around my eyes and i wake up felt pulled

We almost have the same experience. The one i have was normal too when it started out, then suddenly stop when i notice there were strange verbal noise coming from a wall. I tried listening too it, the voice got violently louder and some kind of force spun around my pillow, pinching my head then dragged me away. I woke up remembering the scene of the bed where i slept and being pulled backwards away from it. Strange thing was, i know the layout of the bed i was in, and there's suppose to be a wall above my head but i was continuously dragged through it. which freaked me out.

Just had a crazy dream. Started out feeling like a normal dream. There were people I knew and we were doing random crap. A normal dream. Then idk when but everything started getting loud and flashy. I felt the need to presence of something. Felt like I missed a step while walking up stairs or something. Then I felt like I was being dragged. I actually felt like I shit myself and I actually remember trying to push it out cuz it was the least of my problems. I was being dragged. Then I somehow snapped back into it. I was motionless in my bed. My tv that was off looked on and my phone that was off looked on. I felt motionless like I was strapped down. Then I opened my eyes. Everything was fine, my breathing was fine, my pants were fine. Nothing happened. Was it a random trip? I ate a lot before I fell asleep. Was that the trick?

Two days ago i went to bed as normal. As i closed my eyes to sleep i felt that that i was being pulled backwards gales all around me. It was dark and things were flying past me. I felt totally out of control and that i was being pulled by something sinister. I managed to wake only to find myself back there again just before sleep. again woke myself up. What ever it was made me feel helpless and controlled. It really scared me

I also suffer the same experience last night, it's my first time to be pulled out from my bed in a dream, i was pulled toward the doorway and got slammed on the door because it was closed, after that I think the thing that dragged me even tried to strangle my body and I can't completely move, but then I prayed to God and after like 5-10 seconds I woke up in my bed. What do you think our dreams mean?

I had Strangulation dream last week and I knew that it was something doing it but it was like air was there in my dream I wasn’t seeing nobody followed by three or four days later I had a dream of being drug down my foot up and down the hill upstairs I don’t know where I was but I wonder why it’s so common

I had a dream/idk wtf it was. I woke up in my room to the air being suck out of my lungs, I knew I was at least half awake because I could hear my dog snoring. I could see a little bit, it was hard to focus on anything and everything was swirling around. After the air had been sucked out of my lung the covers were ripped off me. I couldn't see anything there, then it grabbed my right leg and whipped me to the end of the bed like nothing(my ankle are need are sore today). I was only able to move neck, I push so hard until I rolled off my bed. It this point I could crawl so I crawled to my door and headed to the bathroom (there was a very small chair knocked over I've seen this in dreams before) I made it to my feet on the way and look at myself in the mirror until my vision was recovered. Then I woke up in my bed in the way I was laying when all this started.

I was 17 living with my parents and my 3 other siblings. I drempt one night I woke up in my bedroom (in my dream) in my bed, and all of a sudden I'm deing dragged by my feet out if my bed, down some carpeted stairs, I was screaming for someone to help me. Words were coming out of my mouth but noone could hear me. I looked to see who or what was dragging me but I couldn't see anything. I then ran to my parents room,then out if no where I heard some extremely loud booms. I didn't know what it could have been, I got in the floor thinking hey could have been gunshots or something, still wondering why my parents haven't woken up yet. I was screaming dad! Dad! Dad! He wouldn't wake up. I all of a sudden got dragged down the stairs again.and again I looked hut couldn't see anything. After that I closed my eyes and woke up it was morning. I was shaking and scared and didn't know how to react. I was terrified. I'm 24 now and still u wonder. What the f*ck

I had the exact same dream..except, everything stopped before it literally dragged me out of my bed, all I could see was something dark. It sacred the hell out of me. And a couple moments later I heard a noise too.

I was in bed half asleep, then I heard something banging downstairs.. Which was impossible as nobody was awake. I pulled the cover over my ears but it didn't stay... Then wind blew me in the face and moved my hair I was being pulled into another room like being transported. I heard something about s little girl.. I knew I was dreaming at this point and tried to wake up but she kept pulling me up until I was in the big empty room. I was finally allowed to wake.. When I did I felt like someone was in the room still I got scared and woke my partner.. The presence didn't go away until light was found and I saw nothing was there.. Any theory's as I'm now scared out of my mind!

I dreamed i was being dragged away by my parents from my happy place.

I dreamt that I was being pulled out of by something I couldn't see. I woke up afraid. After falling back asleep, I dreamt something (again that I couldn't see) was grabbing my arm. It was trying to rip the stuffed animal that I was clutching. I called out to my mom. She came in and was laughing at me, then my deceased cat jumped on my bed. That was when I knew I was dreaming. But when I forced myself awake, my arm was so sore.
What the crap does that mean??

I had this dream where I was in a dark room with lit candles and I was with a group sitting in a circle, where this purple energy force grabbed my hand and starting dragging me away. I tried to scream but it muffled my voice. I was so scared that I closed my eyes and then I woke up.
