Date: 9/24/2018

By 2Natblu

Me, my stepdad, my mom, and brother traveled somewhere; we left my stepdad at the building while we get something to eat. We got lost and ended up in a neighborhood. There were older people looking at us funny because we're black and they where white people who felt superior; telling us to leave. Some were coming out their houses to be nosy; we came to a dead end at some woman's house; so, we turned around realizing that we was going the wrong way. The woman came out worried asking questions; we started to leave the neighborhood. My mom and brother left already; and, I was a distance behind my brother about to exit the neighborhood; meanwhile, these twin skinned head white guys were entering because somebody in the neighborhood called them for us. They approached me asking me if I'm there to cause problems. This makes me angry; so, I'm like could y'all please get out my way so I can pass. I yelled out to my my brother who is older but I don't know if he can hear me. I'm out numbered but I don't care; I thought if I have to fight then perhaps my brother will realize I'm behind; and, come back and help me. I realize that these guys most likely wasn't going to let me pass; I was only going to ask them one more time to please move; because, I wasn't going to argue. I was planning on striking first before they hit me; but, my alarm woke me up.

AI generated interpretation In this dream, it appears that you and your family are on a journey or a trip to a location. Your stepdad is left behind while you and your mother and brother go to get something to eat. However, you end up getting lost in a neighborhood that seems to be predominantly white. The dream portrays a sense of racial tension and discrimination as you mention older people looking at you in a funny way and making you feel inferior due to your race. The dream also highlights the theme of being an outsider and feeling unwelcome in a particular environment. The white people in the neighborhood are described as feeling superior and expressing their desire for you and your family to leave. This may reflect feelings of being excluded or judged in your waking life, potentially related to your race or identity. The encounter with the twin skinhead white guys symbolizes the confrontation of racial tensions and the threat of violence. They question your intentions and demand that you leave. Your anger and determination to assert yourself by asking them to move could represent a desire to stand up against discrimination and assert your rights. The fact that you expected your brother to come back and help you suggests a need for support and solidarity within your own family or community when addressing racial issues. The dream may indicate a desire for unity and protection from the challenges and threats you face. The dream concludes abruptly, suggesting that it remains unresolved. Your planned response of striking first before being hit could be a reflection of your instinct for self-defense and protection, as well as a desire to assert yourself in the face of discrimination. However, the alarm waking you up prevents any resolution or further exploration of the situation, leaving the conflict unresolved. Overall, this dream highlights the impact of racial tensions and discrimination on your psyche. It may reflect experiences or concerns you have about prejudice and exclusion in your waking life. It's important to acknowledge these emotions and find healthy ways to address them, such as seeking support from loved ones or engaging in activism for social justice.
