I'll start!
I had a dream that I'm standing by the mirror and suddenly I have hair (I shave) I'm trying to figure out what happened to me how it grew so fast when I see my mother in back of me with a scary expression on her face.... don't remember the rest.

You would like to let your hair grow but you're concerned about how long it's going to take and also very scared of your mother's reaction.

I have a recurring dream where it's erev shabbos and I am trying to get home to light in time but I can't. Either the car breaks down, or I get lost. Or it's 10 minutes to shabbos and I'm at the bottom of a mountain and I have to climb up to get home and light.
Another version of the dream is where I am trying to light but the match keeps breaking or the candle won't light.
Or I can't find candles, or candlesticks...

I have a recurring dream where I'm a teenager doing all the family's washing. I keep wondering why I'm doing it all, where's my Mom.
At some point during the dream, or just I wake up, my siblings morph into my kids and I realize that I'm the Mom!
Always wonder what this is about...

I'm not professional but I'll try, Looks like you are trying to find a solution to a problem or situation and you are getting frustrated on the way to finding a solution-light.
The part about being ready for candle lighting you are scared of reaching the solution when it might be to late....
Don't take it to serious it's just my imagination.

Had a recurring dream two nights in a row this week. First night was that something was wrapped around my finger causing it to blow up and lose circulation damaging the finger. Second night was that a lion bit off my finger. So strange.

My dreams are all boring and practical and reflect things I do or have to do or see IRL. The last dream I remember was about being in a yarn store looking for a certain color thread. I'm taking a needlework class and running low on supplies, which means I need to get me to a yarn shop to restock.

Whitewash from the other thread. Don't want to clutter it up but Boca was straight on target!

(Close. I mean. I don't actually feel bad that I don't have as much as I want to but I do push myself even when it's hard. Everything else spot on.)

You have a devoted mom who did pretty much everything around the house. She didn’t expect much help with the day to day running the house.

It was an adjustment after you had kids to realize you needed to start getting used to taking care of all these little people. All the time!

You’re doing a great job but sometimes a part of you feels like it’s all too overwhelming and you wish your mom or someone else could take over for a bit.

You would benefit from carving out some time for you.

I think my dream simply means that I'm scared to miss the zman. As a child I heard about the concept of having to pay a "fine" of lighting an extra candle each week if someone neglected to light. I think that really scared me because I thought it was very embarrassing.
I often have this dream when it's a long Friday afternoon and I go in to take a nap, or if I have some other reason to be afraid of somehow missing the zman.

I have this type of dream a lot

Im in my bed and theres a guy in my room with a knife or gun, trained on me.
Im frozen in shock.

Sometimes I scream and end up waking my husband.
Sometimes it takes me a while to calm down.

Always the same scenario.

I had the strangest dream this week.

My grandfather who had passed away over 20 years ago came back alive. He was sitting by my dining room table. He looed like a young chassid. Very handsome, his face was very smooth and he had perfect black beard and hair. He wore those olden day chsidish caps...I was introducing my mother to him (his daughter). During the whole dream he never said a word. But me and my mother both hugged him.

My grandfather wasn't religious and he looked different than the version in my dream.

Hmm...I do have a devoted mom, you're right there. But I helped a LOT! Interestingly, washing is about the only job I never ever did! Strange that it's the only job I dream about!

It might be that you are scared of something that is trying to ruin your life or it might be that you are reading or watching to many horror stories! It happens to me a lot after watching or reading horror stuff.

Very interesting! I guess subconsciously you still feel like that's something you associate with your mother and it's not one of "your jobs".

Did this escalate over the past year?

You are very safety-conscious and always aware of possible dangers. You instinctively freeze when in shock.

Interestingly, ever since I was a child I used to have dreams about either Muslims or Nazis chasing me and I would also run away.

After learning Shaar Habitachon I actually had a dream like this and instead of running away I focused on "eid od milvado". It was very cool to see what I had worked on having an effect in my dreams.
