Scary ass clown dream

Date: 8/12/2020

In the dream I am with my family and we live together again. All of us are seeing this clown in our home appear. It is definitely haunting us. Then one day I get an email from it too, saying something to the effect of now I am able to do whatever I want. My friend says that he has infiltrated all aspects of this reality. I go to some store "internet store" to try and ask if there was anyone who died at my house. (There is no logic to this thought process) It ends up being a grocery store. I am about to talk to the check out girl and ask her about it, but the next thing I know i am asleep and in a dream in my dream. 🤯 I am with two friends, but we seem to have taken on avatars, like playing a game, but in my dream. We are all aware that the clown has power in my dream. The clown is starting control my dream and my friends shoes change and he for some reason drops to the ground. At this point, I have no reason why, my 'conscience' self that knows I'm dreaming starts singing that song John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, to regain power. In real life I sometimes wear a eye mask to sleep. So I awaken from my dream and slowly start taking off my eye mask, but my vision is a little blurry. I can faintly make out a little bit of red hair in the corner of my room, he is sitting on a chair waiting for me. Then a giant red arm reaches across my body and in one of those scary ass deep voices says something to the effect of get the fuck over here. Then I woke up in real life.

AI generated interpretation Thank you for sharing your dream with such detail. Dreams featuring clowns often tap into complex feelings about control, fear, and the uncanny—clowns can symbolize something that appears playful or familiar on the surface but holds an unsettling or unpredictable energy underneath. In your dream, the clown’s presence haunting your shared family home could represent a feeling of something invasive or disruptive in a place meant to be safe and nurturing. The fact that your family is together again might point to themes around reconnection or confronting shared issues, with the clown embodying a shadowy force challenging that unity or comfort. The email from the clown and its claim to have infiltrated reality suggests a sense of losing control or boundaries—perhaps a part of your mind wrestling with how certain fears or worries can feel all-encompassing or inescapable. Your visit to the “internet store” turned grocery store and the attempt to inquire about someone’s death adds a surreal and mysterious quality, indicating a search for understanding or hidden truths, even when the logic feels unclear. The dream within a dream and the gaming avatars evoke layers of awareness, highlighting an inner dialogue between the conscious and subconscious selves. Your "conscience" self singing “John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt” to regain power is a poetic detail—it could symbolize calling on familiar, grounding elements or childhood memories to reclaim agency when faced with something frightening or dominating. The red-haired figure at the edge of your room and the deep voice may reflect lingering emotions or anxieties that persist even as you try to wake or regain clarity. The blurry vision and gradual removal of your eye mask parallels moving from uncertainty toward awareness, though the presence of this figure suggests that some mysteries or fears remain at the edges of consciousness. Overall, your dream seems to explore themes of confronting and navigating unsettling, intrusive forces within a safe space, the struggle between control and vulnerability, and the efforts to maintain connection and self-soothing in the face of fear. It’s a vivid narrative echoing the complexity of how our minds process and signal emotional tension, particularly around familiar relationships and inner power. If you’d like, I can help explore the symbolic meaning of specific details further or reflect on how these themes might relate to your waking experience.
