Ok, got your attention! I've been having some very strange dreams through most of my adult life. Before I go into my dream, I'd like to explain a little bit about myself to help explain who I am. I'm 28, happily married. I'm the conservative, my wife is the liberal. We are polar opposites more or less, but we get along really well. We're actually like a cliche of the show Dharma & Greg. We even drive the same car as Dharma. My family is just like Greg's, and her family is pretty damned close to Dharma's. I've never used drugs (well... illegal ones), although I do enjoy getting drunk now and then. I'm the kind of person that doesn't like to kill or hurt anything. I am always trying to help out anyone whenever I can. I don't like to kill anything. If I find any bugs in my house, I always catch them in a glass and set them free. In any case, I have the most violent dreams I think I could ever conceive. Some of my dreams are so brutal, they make movies like Hostel and Saw look like Seasame Street. Typically, my dreams will include me getting attacked by groups of random people. They are always the ones that attack me first. Although I do ALWAYS win... it's usually very brutal. I mean, I do things to them that I would never even conceive of! Like, I'm literally tearing people limb from limb. It's very unnerving. Those dreams haven't been going on AS much in the past month or two... but just last night, I had a dream that I was in some small apocolyptic setting, in a small colloseum. There were about maybe 100 spectators (all dirty, unshaven... what you'd expect from a citizen of a Mad Max movie). In this particular dream, there were 6 people... three against three. They all looked fairly similar (no one I recognized), and it was to the death. They were literally beating eachother with shovels, and horribly disfiguring eachother. I just don't get it... I can't even possibly conceive of a reason why I would have dreams like this....??? I don't really watch that many bad movies either. I mean, other than Hostel, the worst movie I've seen in the past 6 months was Clash of the Titans! haha... I dunno, any ideas you guys might have on what my problem is, I'd love to hear it.

my guess is its feelings of repression probably not a n actual desire to hurt people but more symbolic of feelings of being repressed or obstacles i dont think it represents actual violence but im just guessing
well diversity is reality but responsibility for our actions personaly as individuals is too. so we have to suppress/repress some things, just to keep from killing and being killed by each other, let alone to stay out of trouble. the more adamant we get about things the more their opposite sometimes insist on aserting themselves somewhere. i'd say be thankful it is only in your dreams that they are doing this. just as an aside, what's with the list of cars at the bottem? do they have something to do with this or other of your dreams? or do you see yourself as one of those robotic transformer things that pretends to be a car or something? i would be a little worried about this though. i think your dream might be telling you you're darker side needs some kind of legitimate way of blowing off steam so you DON'T really blow up somehow in some really embarassing way in real life some time. i mean like legaly embarassing like you seriously injuring someone or something. also have you really thought about what actualy gratifies you? you know maybe there's something that you're refusing to consider because it would be too much 'inner child' or something that you would really enjoy that you are repressing because of that. and i don't mean something that would hurt people or anything. maybe you should play rpg's of some kind or something like that. i don't know. and then again maybe you shouldn't. hard to tell from just one dream like that, even if those are typicly the kind of dreams you have. maybe rather then having a bunch of punters trying to analyze your dreams you might want to see a real pshrinque and see what they might have to say. =^^= .../\...
Todd82TA, it's like you're working on getting to a different perspective within yourself in order to find a deeper truth ... beyond judgement, beyond all role games, beyond the polarity you want to win against ... yet just find it is as much part of you. You are all parts of the dream. Who are you ? What remains ?
Your problem is that you can't possibly concieve of what's causing this. You look at it and it unerves you so you look away. You've been having these dreams for a long time and for a long time you've been tricking yourself into bewilderment instead of confronting the visions. Imerse yourself in the vibes of the dreams, understand them.
Childhood abuse. Discipline. I really think you are just bottling up something deep inside and they only way you can express it is through your dreams. Maybe you should sit down and think about what might be bothering you or making you angry. Some people are so passive and hate confrontation so much they just bottle everything up inside and don`t even realize something is wrong. Untill one day they just explode. Try to figure out what`s wrong and please talk to someone about it, no one should have to suffer in silence.
Your always being attacked probably means that people are always trying to take advantage of you. Your ability to kill and maim is actually a good thing - it means that you have a very strong will, the will of a survivor. [Try to always demand a gift from those who you would kill. If they do not give you a gift then utterly destroy them. But if they give you a gift then let them live.] At the lowest level your dreams may show repression, that you are bottleing up your anger and letting it affect you. If that is the case then know that anger will cause hormones to be released into your system, which then affects your thinking, which then affects your body. Your anger, your killing, could then symbolise your fight not to be bothered. You want life to go much more smoothly but others are making demands of you which are intolerable. Because you are a conservative you decide to keep it all bottled up and to act prim and proper, respectful of others. You first have to respect yourself, and that means that others should not hurt you. You already know that you should not hurt others, but subconsciously you may want to lash out. What is needed is 100% honest communication, not going to sleep agitated, etc. As a Buddhist I suggest meditation, of course. But will you really be satisfied knowing that your mind is having these dreams and nightmares and being dis-identified with them? (I could just as easily have you look at your North Moon Node in your horoscope to give you a clue as to why these things are happening. But you may not believe in astrology, so the point would be moot.) At the very least (???) these nightmares portend an upcoming turbulent period in your life. When they come, try to remain calm; they will pass.
