The dream started off in a world that seemed post apocalyptic, full of faceless people that would attack you and chase you if they saw you. I spent most of the entire dream in this cycle of running and then hiding. Running and then hiding again. I had to physically fight them off too and there were a few times I thought I was gonna die or something. But none of that was really important, the crazy part is this one. So I found this abandoned supermarket, and I ran into it trying to find shelter and food and stuff. But when I entered, it was a completely stocked grocery store with lights and tons of people walking around, it was just a normal store. But every single person there was faceless. They all acted completely normal, but I was terrified and freaking out. I was like a feral animal, slamming into shelves and hysterically trying to get away. I ended up running down the liquor isle and grabbed a bottle of wine off the shelf. I smashed it in half to use it as a weapon, and then I was the one attacking them. It kind gets fuzzy but then it comes back to me in front of this faceless woman with her baby in the shopping cart. I draw my arm back, and then just as I'm about to swing, the woman says "you don't have to do this" or something similar to that. I just stared down at the baby, I didn't say a word. She was quiet for a second and then sounded so, so sad- she said "do as you must"
And then as I slammed my hand down I woke upThis dream may symbolize a fear of losing one’s identity or sense of self in a chaotic and unpredictable world. The post-apocalyptic setting and faceless people represent a loss of individuality and a sense of being constantly pursued and threatened. The cycle of running and hiding may reflect a feeling of being trapped in this state of fear and uncertainty. The abandoned supermarket, which transforms into a normal store, could represent a desire for safety and stability in the midst of chaos. However, the faceless people in the store may represent a fear of losing one’s identity even in a seemingly normal and familiar environment. The dreamer’s transformation into a feral and aggressive state may symbolize a need to fight back against this loss of self. The encounter with the faceless woman and her baby could represent a confrontation with this fear and a realization that it is ultimately up to the dreamer to determine their own fate. The woman’s words of resignation and sadness may suggest a sense of acceptance and surrender to this fear. Overall, this dream may be a reflection of the dreamer’s inner struggle with maintaining their sense of self in a world that feels threatening and uncertain.
