I have reoccurring 'themed' dreams where someone is attempting to kill me or someone I know (or don't know). Usually they will shoot me (either because I am the intended target or i distract them to save the other person), sometimes numerous times, usually in the stomach, sometimes in the head. I can feel the heat from the bullet and the heat of my blood running down my body. There is slight pain but it is more of the heat that I feel. I will fall down, pretending to be dead so that they will let their guard down, and then i will get up when his back is turned (or sometimes while they are still watching - for the surprise factor) and attempt to kill him. Sometimes I can kill him - however it is never with the gun or a gun - I usually have to completely tear him apart with my hands or beat him into a bloody mess. As far as I can recall, the attacker is always a stranger that i have not met before this conflict. This sort of thing will usually happen about once a month or maybe once every two months. Occasional spurts of 3-4 in a month. I never die and usually fake it because I am realizing it is a dream and cannot die. Every once in a while they are using a knife. additional, non related to the killing sequences: In dreams where one way or the other I end up underwater I like to breathe under it - sometimes for the fun of it (staying under really long) or sometimes because i would drown otherwise (stuck or held underwater by an object/person). Any comments?
Well, the gunshots and wounds may be revealing verbal or physical threats directed toward you from someone in your life. This could be an old wound, have just happened, or you may predict that it will happen in the future. Only you would know the circumstances surrounding it. Next time it happens and if you realize you're dreaming, instead of ripping the person apart, try to come to an understanding and accept that figure as a friend. If not, you'll keep having these violent dreams until a solution is found.
