      Unhappy My dad never does well in my dreams

      This isn't just one dream, but it's nearly every dream that I have involving my dad. In each dream with him he is either extremely mean to me, for no reason at all, or he dies in my dreams.
      Mostly by a gunshot from a robber or something terrible.

      Could there be any reason why bad things are always happening to him in my dreams? I really can't remember one where he is happy or fine throughout the whole dream.
      In real life I don't really talk to him much, though I live with him. I'm just mostly with my mom or siblings or just away in my room minding my own business.
      Any ideas?

      That's terrible
      I would think that your subconcious is trying to tell you that you should start talking to your dad or else one day you'll lose him. It makes sense to me...The horrible things that happen to him are a few of the examples of what may happen to him in real life. Talk to him before it's too late!
      I know how you feel though, I don't talk to my dad all that much either...he's always with my brothers at sporting events and I click better with my mom. But, I still love him!

      I'm not like an old respected old timer here, but many dreams I do are not understood by my head, but with my emotions first. Right after having dreams I can "feel" the meaning (sad, happy, frigthening) and then it translate into my head later, sometimes many days after or in certain cases, years later (like my childhood nightmares that I can fully understand now).

      That said, my interpretation of it is different. As the father is the classic authority figure and you're probably (from what I gather) at that age where you want more independance, but yet not old enough to go on your own totally, those dreams are a way to express that desire to escape from that (family) pressure. It might not be directly about your father. It can be that you're living some new stress with like teachers, boss, something new in your life that can cause you some tensions that you need to deal with it but still struggling.

      To me it's more about your independance, your desire to be on your own and less about your father or your relation with him. Still, it's always good to try to deepen your relation with your parents because it's one way to really gain more autonomy and to construct a great adult relation with them as time pass.

      I think what you wrote is true. 15 would probably be an age most teens want more independence.
      There is actually alot going on at home and in my life that causes stress. I feel stuck, like I can't or will never get past it. I think you've made me realize something though, about myself.
      Thanks Oniver

      Father complex
      A group of feeling-toned ideas associated with the experience and image of father. (See also Logos.)

      In men, a positive father-complex very often produces a certain credulity with regard to authority and a distinct willingness to bow down before all spiritual dogmas and values; while in women, it induces the liveliest spiritual aspirations and interests. In dreams, it is always the father-figure from whom the decisive convictions, prohibitions, and wise counsels emanate. ["The Phenomenology of the Spirit in Fairytales," CW 9i, par. 396.
      The killing of the father by the suon is symbolically a positive act of attaining one's own individuality. Take Star Wars for example, we've got Darth Vader who is in more ways than one a machine, less than human. His humanity is rejected in favor of this governmental system and power, "the dark side". Know Luke shows up and he rejects this and as a result is forced to kill his father, which is the symbolic ritual acting out the choice he's made.

      Oniver's answer was on the right track, he seems to know his shit.
      "We have no dreams at all or interesting ones. We should learn to be awake the same way - not at all or in an interesting manner."
      -Friedrich Nietzsche
