Severed hands and an onion!

I can't for the life of me understand what this means!

I'm a passenger in a car with my two best friends. We are driving along the road, when we see a hole in the ground which we are driving over. It looks as though part of the road has been dug up. As we drive over it, looking down, we can see that there is a severed hand inside the hole.

We suddenly all remember that this severed hand was caused by us! We were very drunk a year ago (according to this dream story), and my friend Martyn sawed off the hand of a guy called Paddy who we know. For fear of getting arrested, Martyn buried the hand in the ground. Apparently, a year later, somebody has found the hand! And it seemed evident that we would soon be caught by the police!

We park the car somewhere and are walking along the road. Then suddenly we are surrounded by 4 or so people who look like they are going to confront us. One of them is a nasty policeman. He recognises Martyn. He says:

"Well well, Martyn. How are you? You're still on my top ten suspects list for various crimes.

I see you're still wearing stupid jeans trying to look cool."

Martyn replies, "Yes, and you're still wearing that police hat and still a fool."

The policeman laughs. Suddendly a guy stands in front of him and says "Listen, this police guy is going to say 'You offend me', and then in twenty seconds you will be dead."

There is a very tense 20-second pause. The policeman says "You offend me" He then starts running at Martyn with the intention to kill him.

Martyn jumps in the car and starts to drive away. The policeman chases him on foot. As Martyn drives away, he throws an onion out of the car behind him towards the cop. The onion seems to omit a smell which causes the policeman to die. I suppose it was a kind of gas grenade. Then I wake up.

:shock: This was really weird! Just to let you know, I haven't committed any crimes, and neither have my friends! So what could this mean?

I think guilt is a major theme, but I don't know what for, and I don't know what the onion represents! :shock: :o

(First, the obligatory dream interpretation disclaimer)
There are as many opinions and methods on interpreting dreams as there are interpreters, remember, no stranger can really interpret your dreams, but here's my two bits:
Although every dream means something as a whole, not every single image in a dream is guaranteed to have a meaning. The severed hand, the policeman and your friend I think are important, the onion may just be a random embellishment of your psyche. (or maybe not! Sometimes small details can be important too, dream interpretation can be confusing :) )
Body parts are loaded symbols, hands even more so, as they can be associated with so many things. I would suggest doing free association on hands and see what comes up. Try emptying your mind and writing down whatever comes up when you think of hands.
The police man may be a symbol of your conscience or of a "higher authority" in your life. Remember though, that even though an authority has power over you, dosn't always mean it's right! It could be that the policeman represents a inhibition that is "lording over you".
Nothing I've said here is definite, mind you. Just throwing out ideas, hopefuly though they can give you a start.

Severed hand: you masterbate too much

Deadly Onion: You have B.O.

Sorry i couldnt resist :chuckle:

I think that you may be keeping too clean of a record and you subconciously think that as soon as you do something wrong, then you'll get punished alot more severly for it... But thats not the case. If you have always had a clean record and you do something bad, then you wont be punished as much for it as normal... I dunno, I always suck at these :P

the cop and the guiltiness seem to follow martyn, and not you...as if he did something, and is the one guilty of it, and youve simply been caught up in all of it...how did you feel about the hand? as for what martyn was doing? and the cop?

...these things are important to know before continueing...

Yes! Martyn was caught drunk driving a year ago. He didn't injure or hurt anyone though. But I suppose I should mentioned that. :oops:

Any other ideas about the onion though? :?: :!:

i would have to say this is a dream mostly about how you feel in regards to martyn's drunk driving excapade...killing the cop would probably most likely signify him defying authority, and so forth...what do you think about this dream, given this light to it?
