Looking for Insight into My Recurring Dream?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been dealing with insomnia for years, and recently I’ve started having a recurring dream that’s been really unsettling for me. I’ve tried just about everything to manage my insomnia—pills, meditation, you name it—but nothing has helped.

For the past few weeks, the dream has been more frequent and quite strange. In the dream, I find myself in a stark white room filled with people sitting in chairs, all facing the front. I’m in the back of the room, just sitting quietly. At first, I don’t say anything, but when I eventually manage to break the silence and say “hi,” it feels super awkward. Suddenly, everyone starts turning toward me in an eerie, creepy way, and then I always wake up, drenched in sweat—not scared, but definitely uncomfortable.

What’s even odder is that this dream doesn’t restart when I go back to sleep; instead, it picks up exactly where I left off. In the most recent version, the people have stood up and are hovering over me, but their faces are completely featureless. I can tell they’re human, but they have no distinct features whatsoever.

I’m really trying to understand what this might mean, and I’d love to hear if anyone has any insights or interpretations. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
