1.He dreams about a friend gathering.He follows a group that is leaving then meeting two old friends.Then he and this guys end up un another gathering.But this people are all in underwear and home friendly clothes.There he find his ex girlfriend.They spend some time doing nothing and listening a gramophone.After this she shows him a secreto place. And gives him 3 objects.Then he kinda fall sleep(?).He wake up and find her into a Wooden cage.He tried to free her but is stopped.Finally she tell him to miss her.And a man ripped her head from behind as she yell that nothing matter.I think the shadow figure your buddy saw had some tie to the dream. Can’t be too sure. Could you elaborate more on what was in that dream and if he saw something similar to that shadow figure in the fetal position?
As for the second one ,we havent heard it fully yet.
