Crazy vivid dream I had during a nap

[Proud90sKid]

Today, I am sick and fell back asleep in the middle of the day. I recently got a DUI in real life and in this dream, I was back in jail. The dream actually felt more terrifying than my real-life experience with getting arrested and put in jail. The dream was semi-lucid as well. I kept wondering if it was a dream and kept trying to wake myself up out of the nightmare but remained asleep so I came to the conclusion that it was NOT a dream.
In this dream, I had no idea why I was in jail or how long I would be there. I am on prescribed medication that I can't cold turkey and this really worried me. Next thing I knew, they brought several of us together (classroom size) and men and women were in the same room. We would listen to a presentation and then go to the next room. Each room seemed slightly less "jail-like" than the last which I figured was a good sign that I was being released (jail release doesn't quite work like this in real life, but this was a dream and it all made sense). However, I was not sure and worried I could be there for several more days. I remember telling a female inmate about my worry with losing access to the medication and low and behold, somehow she smuggled some pills in within a tylenol bottle. She gave some to me. Handed me the tylenol bottle and I tried pulling 4 of the prescription pills out of the bottle but struggled to grip them. However, I had to be discrete about getting the pills out because I did not want the presenter or guards to see me. I ended up keeping the tylenol bottle in front of me and next thing I knew, they were gone.Not gone as in gone, but misplaced. I panicked that they would have had this on camera, so after leaving that presentation, I kept going to different rooms trying to find the one where I had left the medication, but I was unsuccessful as the jail was a maze. But what is even weirder is that while walking around, much of the jail literally looked and seemed like a 5 star resort! And as time progressed, it seemed more and more like a resort and less of a jail. I would open certain doors and find myself in one of the most beautiful hotel-like settings you can imagine. A couple of the doors even took me to the parking lot and I thought about just leaving, but for some reason I felt like I could not just walk out. I remember asking people why the place seemed to be 50 percent jail and 50 percent 5 star resort and feeling very confused. I was again, also confused as to why I am in jail, but felt like it had to have something to do with my DUI. I could not for the life of me figure out why exactly I was in jail. Also, because of the resort like parts of the complex, I kept wondering if I was really in jail. I remember asking an officer if I was "free to go" and was told no. I think that is the reason I did not leave when opening the doors leading to the parking lot.

The resort part of the complex was amazingly beautiful though. And they had a mall as well! Eventually, I woke up.

Hopefully, I remember this dream when I inevitably consider breaking probation.

This definitely is a strange dream! If you want to remember maybe you can write it down or print it out somewhere you can see it.

Dreams can often be confusing and the frustration of why we had them can occur. If something is on your mind, your subconsciousness often reminds you of it, even when you're asleep.

Thank you so much for telling us about this. It was nice to read.
