Thread: I'm a dreamer.....

I am horrible at remembering my dreams, but one random night, I woke up and remembered my dream.

I walked to the sink, and washed the blood off my hands. I have no clue where the blood came from, all I know is that it was there. The house around me was very dark and dindgy, like an old, abandoned house. I turn, and I watch someone cut their throat, causing their own death. I was shocked, and I turned to leave the room. I looked down, and there was a little girl under the table dressed in night clothes. She was crying, and clutching her knees to her chest, resting her head in a shameful-like manner on her knees.

Then I woke up.


Sorry, but I'm new and I don't know where this goes...but what does it all mean?

Well, it seems to be an anxiety dream, and the anxiety is about violence. You washing blood from your hands signifies you as a Murderer, and the gruesome sight of the person committing Suicide was meant to equate Murder with Suicide... that is, that all violence is ultimately Self Destructive. The little girl was meant to show the contrast of Violence to Innocence.

I would guess that you have been participating in violent or quasi-violent behaviors... if not actual violence, then watching and enjoying violent movies or violent video games. Anyway, something happened to trigger this remorse with Violence.

I don't know about that, I've never thought of dream interperetation as being as literal as the symbols in it. For me the feelings there and the way the images play is more important than the actual content. But it's hard for somebody else to read into that because you are the only one who was there.

I'd say it sounds like an anxiety dream, but I'd say the child was the more potent symbol. With that and the bloody hands... guilt, possibly?

This is different to my anxiety dreams, so it's very hard for me to say anything sure about it.
