One night, I dreamt I was a woman in a house somewhere in the tropics. The house was overflooded with thigh high water and there were two men there. One was unconsciouses and floating around, and he floated towards and electrical outlet and got electricuted and the other guy came over to pull him away. He tried to put him on a dry surface but he kept falling off. After many tries he got him to stay on the surface. Now he made his way for the front door and I followed but he got out and locked the door infront of me so I couldn't get out. I wanted to get out for some reason, so I went to the backdoor and went out that way.
I ran across a creek to the house across and it was abandoned I kept running, it looked very remote, I ran through a forest and came to an ancient temple, I climbed up the steps of what seemed to be a pyramid but fell and I was taken captive by the man that left the house. I seemed to be running from him.
Another dream I had, I found myself in a shitty looking restroom with lots of other people that looked homeless and rough. I bathed myself from the sink and the others did their business. Then when I certain time came, all of us were taken to another room. There was a puppet show which seemed like a religious one. I saw a hand puppet of Jesus, but with angel wings. He kept on saying something about 1914. Then some man got angry with me and took a long chain and wrapped it around my neck to bind me. I struggled and tried to fight back, but I was put in another room with a bed room and desk. I was giving something to eat, it wasn't very pleasing. Then I was moved back to the restroom to clean up. I took a shower, and all of us in the restroom were loaded onto a bus.
It looked like we were in a mountainous forest area.
These were some very wierd dreams, and I like to think that dreams mean something.

Crazy dude. I used to have wierd dreams of demons and needing to scream Jehovah and stuff.
After being out 10 years, I think I'm finally over it.
Hope you sleep well,

Dreams mean your subconscious is working hard while you're asleep. Nothing else.
Go to bed really tired and the dreams should stop.

Interesting. You seem to find yourself in places where you don't have any control (anonymous rooms you wouldn't have chosen for yourself, apparently you've been placed there against your will), you're bound or in some other way restrained, yet you always find an "out" and get away.
Watchtower symbols -- Jesus as a spirit creature, 1914, the pyramid -- pop up all over the place.
Are you currently confined in the Watchtower? Are your parents making you attend meetings, study, field service, something like that?
Of course, no one can confine your thoughts, so you always have a way out.
Has this sort of thing been on your mind? Are you DF'd/DA'd, or considering doing so? (Not that I'm encouraging you to take any action, just asking about your current feelings) Do any of your family members/friends know your feelings about the Watchtower? What ARE your feelings about the Watchtower?

Last night I dreamt that me and my fellow travellers had crash-landed on Venus, and we had to make do and start a colony there. Amazingly, it wasn't as hot as I thought it was going to be. But because of the thick atmosphere we couldn't see out to space, and couldn't get any satellite communications and internet....

I hate this religion, it ruined my life. I'm 17, and this senior year I started getting out but I can't completely because then my parents won't support my higher education. I also dreamed I got into 3 automobile accidents. They happened three times last year and I haven't had them anymore.

DY suggests that dreams aren't all that important. While I think your dreams are made up of what your brain is working on and that they are what they are for reasons you should look into, I agree that they aren't anything to get all bent out of shape about.
It just sounds like you're torn up about what position the religion has put you in. You see it as a ball-and-chain you're forced to carry around in order to get the education you need. You are probably right about your perceptions. You no doubt would prefer to be free of it, and in a few years you will be. Until then, hang in there. People have undergone lots of difficulty in order to get an education -- holding down 2 or 3 jobs, night classes while working fulltime, several years in the military in order to fund it -- but in the end it will be worth it. For them and for you.
Understand why you're dreaming this stuff, but don't stress over it. Under the circumstances, it's expected. If you can relax about the dreams, understand why they're there, they will probably subside.

I always used to have dreams where people were chasing me or trying to kill me. I don't have them anymore, but I think at the time it meant that I was trying to run from a frightening situation (jw's) in real life and that they were trying to kill my spirit (happiness/ true self).
I think dreams are a way that your subconscience is trying to tell you something that you may be avoiding or ignoring in real life. Love

Do you Lucid dream? That is when you are aware that you are in a dream; or that you are partially awake in your dream. If you can get to that state again, without waking up, start asking questions of the other characters there. If this stuff interests you, start a dream journal, you will have more and more dreams and they will become more sensory.
Good luck with school.
