Hi everyone , I am not exactly new to this site , but it's been about 2 years since I was last active on a different account (forgotten login info.) I just had a WILD nightmare (6:20am)and it was only about 45 seconds long or so before I had to wake myself up because it was so disturbing . I woke up at 6:20am started to watch tv ;some show about woodblock printing. I fell back asleep , and found myself in the kitchen watching that show I suspected I was dreaming because of environment errors , (unable to read clock , weird image distortion of the tv show) I then looked out the front door and it was dark and snowing , I then saw the silhouette of my grandfather (who has been gone for almost 2years) he was standing outside the door smoking a cigarette as if he was waiting for me to open the door , so I opened up the door and he greeted me "hey dan" I responded "hey grandpa " and started hugging him . Right at this point I knew this was a dream and I was thinking to myself that I should try to hold it together and keep it going as long as I could , to take advantage of seeing him. After I responded the first time and started hugging him , he responded again "hey dan" so I said "hey grandpa" in a louder voice , then while we were still hugging he said it again "hey dan" . After this third time I felt an extreme dread , and felt unsafe I then tried to stop hugging him and when I looked at his face it was not him , it was a white face with a screaming expression , similar to the "scream" painting but a real face , I then began to panic and tried to pull away , then what ever it was tried to bite the right side of my neck/shoulder area, I got away closed the door and woke myself up . End of dream . I woke up swearing with my heart pounding , I woke up my girlfriend and was in tears trying to explain this nightmare to her . After telling her , I realized that in the dream my "grandpa" had put his RIGHT arm OVER my left shoulder . This is weird because first off , my grandpa had lost motor skills in his right arm and leg due to a stroke. Second my grandpa was always shorter than me and was unable to put his arm over on to my shoulder . My question is why did I have this dream, and does it signify anything ? I have never had such a hard time decrypting a dream before , and I would greatly appreciate any opinions/comments .
Thanks ,D.
