Well, for as long as I can remember, I've been having the same nightmare.

I started having it when I was around 8 years old I think, and I always had it during summertime, and ~only when I was on vacation with my parents in a certain island.

It went on every year until I was around 13. Some weeks ago I had the same dream again, with only slight differences. I've searched around and asked people about what it could be telling me, but got nowhere.

So, in the beggining of my dream, I always see three images. The first one is one of a small boat which is half-burried in the sand, the second one is one of a study desk lying in a tropical-looking forest, and the third of is basically a bunch of colours mixed up together. And before seeing these three images, I see some sort of...um, title, that doesn't make sense, and basically the whole thing seems like the beggining of a movie.

Right afterwards, I see a dark green hand, slowly crawling to me. I see nothing but the hand, since it appears in an all-black background. It keeps making its way closer to me and leaving blood stains behind, and as it moves closer and closer, I feel myself moving backwards, but it feels more like a camera is walking backwards and not myself. Last time I had this dream I noticed that the hand actually had a face, if that's even possible. It was more like carved on its palm, and for some reason that frightened me much more.

So, the dream just goes on like that until I wake up. But I've always been terrified by it, especially because the hand moves towards me slowly and I can't even run from it.

So, um, any idea what its interpretation could be? I haven't had any luck so far getting rid of it, and it came back after so many years..
