I was going to visit my grandmother's house on my father's side with my parents and siblings. This occurred in the early morning. As we got to the door and opened it, I was greeted by my grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins. The time changed to mid morning. My grandmother then told me we could hang out with our cousins in the back rooms where we could watch the tv and have some fun. When we got to the back room, it suddenly turned into the afternoon when I looked out the window. We sat and chatted for a few minutes, then I got up to ask my mother a question. As I was in the hallway, it suddenly changed to late in the evening and the sun was just going down. But when I got back to the den area where everyone was the first time I entered the door, it was night time and completely dark. I turned around to go back to the back room with my siblings and cousins, but it was dark down the hallway too with no lights and no sound of the laugher I heard earlier from the room. I was scared because I had never been in my grandmother's house in complete darkness or alone like this, so I decided to turn around and leave through the first door I entered from in the morning. But to my surprise, the door was locked and I couldn't leave the house. I suddenly heard the house phone ringing next to me which startled me, but I decided to make my way over to the phone despite how dark it was. After finding the phone in the dark, I answered the phone. I got a reply back and it was my father. I asked him where did everyone go and that I couldn't get out of the house. He only replied to me that there might be something inside the house with me, told me goodbye, and then hung up the phone. I was confused and I turned around real quick because I was attempting to get something to pry the door open. But when I looked down the hallway, I noticed a pair of red eyes near the ground looking at me from the hallway. I was stunned and stood in place while I was looking at the red eyes. Suddenly, the red eyes rose from the ground, got bigger, and then I could see a threatening smile gleaming white shining teeth underneath the red eyes in the darkened hallway. I panicked and started backing away to the door again. As I did, the red eyed figure began to approach me. I started screaming and tried opening the door and banging on it calling for help and getting short of breath while doing so, but I couldn't leave the house and the figure kept walking towards me.
This dream appears to symbolize feelings of uncertainty, fear, and a lack of control in your life. The visit to your grandmother's house represents a familiar and comforting environment. However, as the dream progresses, the changing time and darkness symbolize a loss of safety and stability. The shift from morning to evening may indicate a sense of time slipping away and the unknown lurking in the future. Your family members initially provide support and companionship, but they gradually disappear, leaving you feeling isolated and vulnerable. This could represent a fear of being alone or abandoned by loved ones. The dark hallway and locked door represent obstacles and a feeling of being trapped. The phone call from your father suggests a message of potential danger or warning, fueling your fear. The presence of the red-eyed figure symbolizes a menacing force or a threat that you are both terrified of and unable to escape from. Overall, this dream may reflect your subconscious anxieties and a sense of being overwhelmed by circumstances beyond your control. It could be helpful to explore any underlying fears or concerns you may have in your waking life and consider ways to regain a sense of security and empowerment.
