Bendy and the Mind Machine
...I was with Aaron at a country area and he took me to a cement building. There was a carpet on the floor but it was full of water. He was going in to check on something and I was just tagging along. We went inside and, though, it was dark, I saw a Bendy (Bendy and the Ink Machine) plushie in the water and I picked it up. It was waterlogged and filthy. I realized that it was sentient on some level, so I tucked it under my arm and took it with us. We went home and I put the plushie in the washing machine to clean the little guy. I was talking to Bendy and telling him that I hoped this didn't bother him, I just wanted to get him clean. I also put him in the dryer and he came out smelling so nice! I went to bed and had the plushie with me. Bendy was really nice and pillowy. My husband noticed and he said, "What were you thinking about, taking something out of there!?" I kind of shrugged and said, "I thought it was lonely." Of course, the Bendy plushie didn't speak but I seem to be having a type of telepathy with him. I guess I was waiting for him to be evil somehow but he really wasn't. He told me some kind of story about how he was a kid's plushie and he got abandoned. Unfortunately, Bendy started to shrink and become hardened. It said he was dying and it wasn't like he was upset about it or anything. It's not like I could return him or make him better. I was holding him in the palm of my hand and asking what I could do and the little clay-looking creature kind of sent that it was okay. Unfortunately, the dream took a darker turn. Once Bendy was gone, I seemed to lose some of my mental clarity. Now, I was Luke Skywalker's wife but I couldn't remember. I remember trying to get to one of our kids. I was trying to get into the building where we lived and I ran into Princess Leia and her entourage. I literally, physically, ran away trying to get into the building a few different ways, so I didn't have to engage with them. I went up to where our room was and things look so neat but I started going through stuff, looking for something in particular. I made a mess of the place. The kids were also older than I remember them being and yet the youngest one was not old enough to understand something was going on. They were going through the toys because I'd pulled them out. I remembered trying to get a hold of myself and trying to figure out what was wrong with me...
✨ AI Generated Interpretation
This dream weaves together rich imagery and emotional layers that seem to explore themes of care, transition, identity, and inner conflict. The setting begins in a rural, somewhat neglected place with waterlogged surroundings—a cement building with a carpet soaked through. Water often symbolizes emotions or the unconscious, so a carpet full of water could represent feelings or memories that are submerged or overwhelming in a space that might feel solid or unchanging. Picking up the waterlogged plushie, especially one inspired by a known character, suggests recognizing something vulnerable or neglected within yourself or your emotional world. The plushie being sentient and initially dirty but then gently cared for in the dream points to compassion toward a fragile or "abandoned" part of you, something that might have been overlooked or in need of attention and cleansing. Washing and drying the plushie with care, and engaging with it through imagined telepathy, speaks to a desire to nurture and bring clarity or renewal to this aspect. The plushie’s story of being a child’s abandoned friend might symbolize feelings of loneliness, forgotten aspects of innocence, or past parts of yourself that felt discarded. Its gradual shrinking and hardening could reflect an acceptance that some parts of ourselves are changing, fading, or becoming less accessible, but also a sense of peaceful resignation to that process. The shift into the Star Wars context—being Luke Skywalker’s wife yet struggling with memory and clarity—introduces themes of identity confusion and trying to reconnect with roles, responsibilities, or family. Encountering Princess Leia and trying to avoid engagement might symbolize an inner reluctance to face certain external pressures or aspects of yourself tied to tradition, expectations, or community. The neatness of the living space contrasting with the mess made searching through it can suggest a tension between order and inner turmoil, or a search for something meaningful amid an appearance of control. Seeing the children older than expected yet with the youngest unaware points to different stages of development within yourself or your emotional life—perhaps a conflict between maturity and innocence, conscious awareness and unconscious feelings. The struggle to "get a hold" of yourself and figure out what’s wrong underscores a journey toward self-understanding amid confusion and change. Overall, this dream appears to explore compassionate engagement with neglected or fading parts of the self, the challenge of holding multiple roles and identities, and the emotional navigation through transformation and uncertainty. It invites reflection on how we care for hidden, vulnerable aspects within us and how change can prompt a reevaluation of who we are and what we hold on to.
