zombie hunter

[shotclockat5]

For like the past 10 nights I always seem to be zombie hunting. There are to many to go into, but i never seem to be able to shoot any of them. To me thats would be the most exciting part, but i always wake up just before I do. Maybe it has something to do with being in iraq with little combat. Any thoughts?

Yes it could easily be to do with Iraq. Zombies could link to boredom. I have had dreams where I believed that they respresented mind numbing boredom ------------------------ Dreams are best seen as building blocks of our own very thinking. They actually represent internal thought processes. The best way to understand dream symbols is to see them as words or collections of words. By themselves they make no real sense. For instance if a soldier appears in a dream we cannot truly understand that it means one thing. We have to interpret the symbol. Dreams symbols interact with each other and so their meaning can start to make more sense. If someone utters the word 'war' in a dream then we cannot understand what the meaning of the sentence is just by understanding the meaning of the word 'war'. Yes war has many different meanings and it can be used in many different contexts. In the same way if the dream contains a war or warlike situation we cannot make any immediate conclusions on its meaning. The simple get out clause of all dream interpretors was to make simplistic comments. That war in dreams means that you have got to face some major challenge head on. Thats truly underestimating the true complexity of dream language. The truth is that dreams can use war in just as many ways as we do in spoken language. It may refer to a warlike situation involving you or someone close to you. It may refer to some war like situation in the past that has already been resolved. It may refer to your worries that someone is being warlike towards you. So in truth a dream is not easy to interpret. Often there are no immediate clues to say that the dream is about you or someone else, and also no indication as to when the dream refers to (past,present or future). But its best to keep in mind the various possibilities. Keep an open mind. Just imagine the following three phrases "my boss said we need to wage war on these sloppy practices", "She was really waging war on me", "Tommorrow is going to be tough - the atmosphere is warlike" and "I was thinking about my experiences in the war". These are all rich in meaning and the presence of the word war does not in itelf give some strong clue as to the meaning of the sentence. In the same way the presence of a dream symbol does not by itself mean that much.
