Deer in the Hospital

Date: 5/31/2019

I’m going to go into less detail with this dream because it’s a dream I had the night before. I’ve been a lot more tired lately and thus been having more dreams, and sadly a lot more nightmares. The dream starts out with me being pregnant, should probably explain to anyone reading this, I’m a man, not only a man, but a man with a boyfriend so there’s no possible way of me getting pregnant, but the idea of being pregnant absolutely terrifies me. I’ve been having nightmares of pregnancy ever since I was a kid, the one I remember when I was eight was me giving birth to a alien man eating plant. So I’m pregnant, and terrified. My parents find out and kick out of the house I was staying in and cut off any financial ties. I go to my boyfriend to tell him and cry about it, to which he’s in a car with his mother; who looks exactly like him but older and a woman but still with his hairstyle, which is not what she looks like at all. I find that actually kinda funny. I end not telling my boyfriend out of embarrassment. I’m running around town in the dead of night hysterical and crying. And then I submit myself to a hospital, telling the doctors, that not only am I pregnant and due to give birth very soon, but I am also delusional and mentally unwell, and I need therapeutic help. It’s kind of strange this is how the dream starts, because, well the rest of the dream has nothing to do with me being pregnant. More so to do with this nightmare hospital I got myself in. I can’t really describe in great detail, why this dream scared me. It’s a very stereotypical nightmare, that many have probably had. Sure there was some realistic drama and fears with family and money. But it was mostly the common type of nightmare of being in a dark uncomfortable place and wondering around like it’s a maze, and that’s very much what this dream was. So at first me and other patients are submitted into this hospital. We spend some days there and we’re sort through some clothes and having a decent time. They go upstairs without me and suddenly when I turn around the one woman who was helping pick out clothes is gone. This is when I start wondering around the hospital, it becoming very dark and uncomfortable. This one image I remember the most though, is a deer. There’s an office I walk into and see the doctor that was once taking care of me, now with the head of a deer, though with his doctor’s coat still on. He stares daggers into me with dark eyes, his antlers almost reaching the ceiling. Dim lighting surrounding. I’m wondering why my first instinct wasn’t to run. But here I am staring at him and him staring at me from behind his desk. As if he’s not the strange one in the room. And this is about he extent of my memory other than the flickering lights and the pop ups of the a cliche horror. That and the other strange family elements and also... well I also was watching the scenes from the Cartoon Network show Chowder.
