In my dreams recently over the past few weeks, most nights I have and I will call them nighmares, I had inflicted harm on each of my family members except my partner with a weapon, usually a knife, and/or screaming at them.

I havnt had these dreams for 3 nights now and I am frightened they'll come back. I wake up feeling utterly appauled, guilty and very sad.

I have a very good relationship with my family all the time, no conflict is going on at all. And my love for them is infinite, each member is precious to me. Its making me sick.

Please any thoughts anyone?

Death usually means birth (of an idea or even actual birth in the family).

Thanks Randall, I feel alot better, I have given that some thought. There have been a lot of positive changes happening. Some rather significant too.
Thanks again.

I'm not sure exactly what it means but I have had similar dreams on rare occasions. They *ARE* disturbing so I can completely understand.

Certainly Randall is right, and this could be it, or part of it.

But you said that you inflicted harm, so did you actualy kill them?

And your family members could represent themselves, or others entirely. If you are a very sensitive individual, then even the smallest amount of conflict or anger could cause this type of dream. With that in mind ...

Is there some issue or situation in your life in which you feel vulnerable?

Do you feel the need to protect yourself (at the time of the dream)?

Is there something about which you feel guilt?

Thanks Ra for your reply,
In my dream after inflicting harm on them it appeared they were dead, but later in the dream they'd come alive again.
I dont feel vulnerable at the moment, Im very secure, at work, home & with friends.
Dont feel guilty either, which is why I cannot interpret the dream. Although, I am sensitive at times, and all I can think of is that my sister and my partner are hostile with eachother that makes me sad because they can not simply agree to disagree, they're both stubborn bulls.
It does disturb me a bit. Hmmmm...

I don't know much about dreams; the death/birth symbolism is about the extent of my knowledge.

Perhaps something you thought/wished was gone, has come back.

Is there change of any kind in your life right now? Especially as relates to other people?

A few days have past now since that dream, and Ra, a few big changes have just arrived. My mother is now unhappy in her relationship with my step-father, and I know its serious, and there is no going back, they've been together for 9 years, my sister has been diagnosed with a lot of problems, and on top of that my partner and my sister will not talk to eachother. So you see, my whole family is in turbulance. And I love them all and I feel like Im in the middle of the family tornado. That dream was telling me something is going to happen. (shivers) All I can do now is offer support.

You are right.

As long as you can remain in the center, where there is no turbulence, you'll do alright.
