    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.

      I wouldn't stress about it too much. If you absolutely insist every dream must hold some kind of meaning, it *could* mean you're afraid your dad is mad because he hasn't seen you in such a long time? I'm straight up guessing, as I know little about you or your father.

      Personally I don't attach too much significance to dreams. I've had dreams in which I'm a complete monster, dreams in which I'm a noble hero, coward, mercilessly chased down by monsters, and more. If they all had meaning, they would contradict each other.

      I've had a dream where my father was trying to kill me before. I had this dream many years ago and my father passed away about a year and a half ago. The dream was at night, and he was chasing me down a suburban street with a knife. It was terrifying and it really disturbed me when I woke up. I'm not sure I can tell you exactly what it meant for me, but I can share my circumstances with you to see if you share any of them. I also lived away from my father—about 1500 miles away. We were sort of estranged, he drank a lot and had some issues, but I had come around from being angry at him to loving him and having compassion for him. I still couldnt handle having him be a very close part of my life, even if I did live near him, but I talked to him maybe once every month or so. He loved me very much and was very proud of me, and he certainly would never have tried to kill me. He did however have violent tendencies towards my mother when I was a kid and they were still married. Some of these experiences were quite traumatic, and I was there to see them. I think dreams can mean different things for different people, but for me, maybe I deep down felt really hurt by my father? Or that he could possibly really [emotionally] hurt me again if I let him get close to me? Maybe you just feel like your father is angry at you for moving? As far as not being able to speak, I often attribute that to sleep paralysis, and maybe you are so involved in the dream that you are actually trying to speak out loud. I've woken myself up that way before, a scream being a suffocated croak. Hope some of this helps!
