Help with dreams/children dying violently

**Indeges** · 07-31-2007 11:27 PM

I'm new to this place, hopefully all of you can help with this.

I've been having two dreams, both of which have repeated but not every night. The first one I'm in a hotel near the pool. It's an Olympic-size pool (large anyway) and has two diving boards on all four sides of the pool (eight total and all very high); but none of the boards are close enough to the pool. Just as I notice that, a whole bunch of children come running from each room in the hotel (at least in the high hundreds or maybe even low thousands). None of them are older than 5 or so and some aren't even walking yet (crawling to the boards). They all climb to the top and jump, and of course as the boards aren't close enough they all slam hard into the concrete around the pool. They are breaking lots of bones (arms, legs, backs, necks, even skulls are being split open) and each and every one of them is rolling into the pool. I yell for them to stop but they won't, I try to catch some but they are as heavy as boulders, I even try to pull them out of the water but they are way too heavy. I even begin to drown myself trying to save them. After a while the pool is completely red (like there is nothing but blood in the pool and no water). I woke up crying the first time, but not anymore.

The second dream I am driving my own car (Dodge Intrepid) but instead of a red outside/gray inside the car is hunter green outside and bright yellow on the inside. I am also driving from the passenger seat and reaching over to turn the wheel in whichever direction I need to (there is no one in the driver's seat but the car is moving forward). There are two children on the inside (one male and the other female) and both appear to be about 5 years old. They are in car seats (which seems important in the dream). I am being chased by another car which I recognize as being driven by old friends of mine. But all three have died in car accidents (Richard when I was in middle school and Rich and Dustin who were friends from church and died in the same accident). All three are in the car and it is trying to run me off the road. Eventually I lose control of the car and my car goes into a rollover spin down a large hill, where the children in the back are killed and bleeding heavily. I come out without being hurt but I am covered in the children's blood (just like the first dream but that was from swimming in the kids' blood trying to pull them out of the water). Again I woke up crying the first time but when I would have the dream again it wasn't as big a deal anymore.

Any idea what these could mean?

I am not sure if you are lucid or not, if you are then realize that you can change the very dream you are having, and if you're not then realize that you're dreaming and then change the scene. Anyway thats my advice, good luck!

Wow thats some tough dreams... The first one could mean that you have a problem with helplessness. You want to help someone, but they don't listen and your efforts are in vain.

The second may be caused by fear or worry. Because your friends died in the accident, you are afraid that such a thing will happen to other people you care about, or maybe people you are responsible of. You may be afraid both that something bad happen to the people you care about, and also that you will fail in your responsibility of taking care of them.

Well, these are just guesses. I hope that you resolve whatever issues bother you, and that in the future you will have nicer dreams.

Welcome to DreamViews, by the way

I agree with k if you are not lucid just remember before going to sleep that if you are in a pool of blood you are in a dream (i hope

)and when you realize its a dream try talking to one child only and ask him why dont they listen to you, and abaout your friends also talk to them something like what can i do for you. Just dont go away with all the children dying if you do so you will still have that dream.

Hmm, these are tricky ones, i'll give my best shot at trying to crack this one for you.

Well for the first dream i would say that you are maybe experiencing some worry or anxiety quite alot during the day, i could be wrong though. You see things happen around you that you wish you could help but no matter how hard you try you can't seem to help or prevent things from happening. The young children seem to be quite a common sign in these dreams. Maybe you are at the stage that you want kids (assuming you are female) and you are worried that you might not be able to take care of them. The last one is just a guess, you could be a guy for all i know. But as far as the first dream goes i will say that the one thing you need to do is approach these dreams with confidence, try and picture yourself back in the dream maybe through meditating or just whilst your sat reading this reply, picture yourself back in the dream, but this time it is different. You can either tell the children not to go up because its dangerous and they listen to you, see yourself being clear and straight forward, you are in command and you can control what happens, in this scenario you are saving the children. You could even let them jump off but then have the strength to catch each and every one of them one by one. Don't feel upset and scared, feel confident, believe in yourself and see yourself suceeding!

As for the second dream i would say that you are maybe having a bit of mixed feelings, from worry to lack of confidence to maybe a bit of guilt. If these friends of yours that died without you being able to say goodbye maybe you felt guilty because you couldn't say goodbye or how much they ment to you as friends, maybe you miss them and you accossiate their death with guilt because you couldn't say anything to them before they died. But the fact is that if i am right in assuming this you should not feel any guilt at all, it was an accident and there was nothing you could do to prevent it. Don't keep punching yourself inside over what happened, it wasn't your fault and i'm sure that they wouldn't want you worrying over guilt if they were your friends.

I may be wrong about the guilt and alot of the stuff i said but i think overall you maybe lacking self-confidence at the moment, you need to believe in yourself and know that you are in control of your life and that you can make a difference, chin up, stay positive and i hope you can tackle these dreams with their biggest fear "positivity". Be positive, think positive. I hope that helped in some way.
