      Thumbs up blood, shooting, death. I NEED HELP!!

      maybe someone can help me understand this.
      ok my dream is a little confusing to me but i will do my best to explain it.

      i was in my laundry room of my apartment bulding and i wanted to do a load, i realized my laundry soad was missing then i saw it top down on the floor and i bent over to pick it up, when i stood back up it was like i was somewhere else completely but it was still my building and i was someone else also, at that point i was still a woman. i looked behind me and there was a child standing there and i realized that he was my son, i think 8 or 9 years old. he was just standing there and i was trying to ask him what was wrong and then blood just started pouring out of his mouth and nose and ears, it was like a fountain, i was panicking. then the same thing started happening to me...i as the mother died on the spot.
      then i was the boy and he was looking at me, well the mother, (he was ok then, not bleeding, like it never really happened to him.) he ran out screaming, well i did. i ran downstairs to a neighbors, it was a middle age man that i was friends with as the child. (veryy strange) i remember i was comfortable but scared of him at the same time. he gave me some kinda powder or something to eat...and he ate it too, then he told me that we would be friends forever, then i started bleeding again and so did he, just like before, like a fountain, out the mouth nose and ears, but he lived for whatever reason.
      then the father came home and figured it out somehow, and then i was in his body, as the father and i ran around looking for the kid and i found him in the mans apartment, dead. I flipped out and went looking for the guy, i burst into the bedroom and looked at the bed, the blanket was pulled up, it was a white blanket, but i could see his body through it. so i pulled the blanket down cause i wanted to strangle him and as i reached down he put an automatic gun against my chest and started shooting and i felt how the bullets entered my body, the pressure of them and how my life litterally slipped away from me, then i was dead!! and it was over.
      i woke up drenched in sweat. i was terrified and i dont think i will ever forget it. i hope someone can help me. i know its very strange.

      I'm stunned, absolutely shocked... I can't believe you wanted to do laundry...lol

      Maybe you have a fear of no control and possible harm by an x-factor. Not safe in your own home so in your dream what is supposed to be the safe place changes...

      It's a nightmare all right. And it invokes some of your worst fears I would imagine.
      Although it sounds very horrific, and you woke in a sweat, you don't say how you were actually feeling at different times during the dream. The feeling part may help us understand what was going on. Dream meanings are more than just visual symbolism.

      youre right i didnt specify that....when i was the mother i was scared and confused.............when i was the child and running around i was terrified looking for a safe place, as the child also when i went to the man that gave me the powder i felt safe but somehow scared of him at the same time. and as the father i was just angry, very angry, and as i was shot and dying i was panicking. maybe that helps further. thanx.

      Well from what you say, the man with the powder has the attributes of the archetypal father. Someone to keep you safe and someone who can be scary.

      In the most general terms, this dream seems to be exploring some of the more worrying feelings about people generally, and significant people in particular.

      The various scenes of death sound unusual. But I think this is about the death of ideas or constructs you have about people. It sounds like, perhaps, you think you know what people are like but now you're doubting that. You may find you're now thinking of people differently. And following Expulsion's comments, yes, that can feel like you're out of control. You used to feel protected but now you're doubting why that should be. You used to feel your child was safe, now you're doubting that too. But that's just what it's like trying to cope in the real world. We have real worries/anxieties but most of the time we prefer not to dwell on them. Our dreams have no such defenses, however.

      I know that's all a bit vague, and dream interpretation often is. There will be specific meanings in your dream (like what does the white powder mean - is it soap powder or crack or, what? and why?) which nobody other than you could possible access. The more general themes, like death, are perhaps more accessible.

      These are just my ideas. Toss them around and let me know what you think. The best interpretations arise from a dialogical process.
