I'm new on this, I decided to sign up today as I've been having this dream quite regularly now and it's been playing on my mind a lot.

Basically, I have always had a good friendship and bond with my dad. But these past few years I havant been with him and I moved else where because of something. my dad recently got i touch with me after nearly a year, last month. Since then I've been having dreams about were I cannot scream, or talk.

But this one dream stood out. I don't know how it started but I was running. Running into a woods, my surroundings was a lake, trees and an house. I ran into my house and I was crying. I was trying to scream and cry for help but it was like I had no voice box. No sound came out of my mouth. My dad was chasing me with an object. A knife or dagger I think it was, and he was trying to kill me. He was just chasing me and chasing me. I got trapped somewhere and I couldn't get out, I was still attempting to scream but still nothing was coming out... But then I awoke randomly from my nightmare, I had tears in my eyes. It was like 3 in the morning. So I don't know if I died or what?

What does this mean? Dreaming about my dad trying to kill me? Please someone reply, as would let my mind ease down.
