Two very vivid dreams, one last night and one this afternoon.
Went to bed a little late last night (around 3 in the morning), and almost immedeately fell into this weird dream where I got online to check my email, and there was this message from one of my coworkers saying that it really hirt her to tell me this, but they had a staff meeting, and 'knew all my secrets'- like my alcoholic tendencies and the fact that I was using my supervisor's parking card to pay for my own parking, amongst other things (all totally false in the real world, but they seemed SO REAL in the dream!!!). And SHE didn't want me to get fired, but a lot of the others did. So, here I am, spluttering at the computer screen in indignant denial, and then I read the last line of her email, which asks me to call and talk to her asap in the morning. At this point, I slip into this half-awake mode where I actually look at my alarm clock, see it is about 6.30, and fall into a semi-conscious and highly disturbed stupor for another hour or so, and then wake up feeling more than a little disgruntled. Enter dream two.
After eating lunch I fell back asleep (I know, lazy, huh?) at about 1 PM. I dream I am back at my parent's place, but on the roof, not inside our apartment. There are three russians, a man and two women, and they are balanging on the edge of the railing, so it looks like they have no legs. They jump onto the roof, and start chasing me. They want to kill me. Suddenly I am inside our apartment, and am frantically trying to call someone to comehelp me, but the phone is dead. Then, I find myself in ANOTHER apartment, above ours, and there are three MEN in it and THEY are trying to kill me. I manage to beat them up with the help of my brother, who then goes away. I find myself with a gun, so I turn to face the men who are now slumped on the couches in the living room. Only one of the men is really evil, and I shoot him first. The bullet moves with matrix-like slowness and bursts into normal motion after I have seen it slowly sink into his skull (graphic, no?) I turn to the other two men, and I shoot them too. I really regret doing so, but something compells me to, and after I see the slow moving bullets sink into them, I know it's too late to reverse anything.
Suddenly my brother and my mum are there. I am all like, we should call the police, because there are dead guys in here, and anyway, THEY were the bad guys, so we're ok. My mum's on the balcony listening to the children playing int he playground below us, and she ignores me. My brother is wandering from room to room, oblivious to me as well. I'm understandably nervous, as I killed the guys, and upset that nobody seems to care about helping me.
Then, I wake up.
Can anyone make any sense of there? Cause I can't.

Wow! Do you have dreams like this all the time, or is such excitement relatively rare?I'm not as practiced a hand at dream interpretation as Ra, but I have done it for people before. I can't give you a definite "this is what it means", but I'll tell you what I do see. The first dream is important in terms of its theme. You are hiding something and afraid someone will find out. Is there some part of your personality or life that you don't particularly care for, that you are embarrassed of or that makes you feel like a hypocrite? If there is, you are worried that it shows through despite your best efforts to keep it hidden from others. The second dream is more difficult, but one thing that impresses me is the importance of the number three. There are 3 Russians on the roof, then 3 men, chasing you. Another critical point, I think, was the fact that "only one of them was really evil". Your mind is trying to make some decision from between several?three? choices. It also seems important that you shoot the other two men anyway, but I don't know how to interpret that. The fact that your brother helps you subdue the men and then goes away probably means that you may get some limited help from someone close to you in making this decision, but other than that, you're on your own. Your brother and mum being oblivious to you is probably your emotional reaction to being left to this decision by yourself; you wish someone else could make the decision or take action for you, but no one can. It makes you feel more lost and alone than you actually are. IP: Logged |

hey Paras 
That was awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to type that out!
With regrds to the first dream, I also kind of thought that it might mean that I was trying to repress something about myself from public sight, but I can't for the life of me think of what it might be! I'm a big blabbermouth, and usually my thoughts are out of my mouth as soon as I have them.
The second dream was more disturbing, because towards the end, I was really scared, because there WAS the possibility of me going to jail. And, I felt dirty and ashamed about shooting the other two men. I was indecisive when I shot them and regretted it as soon as I fired the bullets- particularly with one of them who was somewhat fatter than the other two. What you say about choices makes sense. Or, I might have to watch out about hurting people in the heat of the moment, without meaning to? let me know what you think. I really appreciate it! PS: I haven't had dreams like this in a while now!!! And I wasn't complaining, lol! IP: Logged |

Thanks for the insight paras! It's great to have opinions other than mine for a change ... and you are good.Alchemiest, I'll have a look as soon as I can ... paras covered it well, so perhaps we can fill in the blanks from here.  IP: Logged |

Well, besides paras' astute observations, there are a couple of things that grab my attention. One is communication - or lack thereof - which is suggested in both dreams, and the other is anger, more prevalent in the second.The first dream could suggest that there has been a miscommunication of some kind (e-mail falsely accusing you), or, as paras noted, you are hiding something - noncommunication - which leaves you feeling "disgruntled". Does this involve your job? The second dream also suggests problems with communicating (phone is dead), anxiety (being chased), and possibly anger or hostility (shooting/killing with gun), along with regret (shot other two). I also noticed the number three which could have to do with choice of some kind, but I prefer to look at this number alchemically which suggests the process of individuation, of becoming - or according to Jungian psychology, it is a number of urgency suggesting the possible beginning of a new psychological process. So, at the time of the dream, were you experiencing any kind of communication problem? Were you being misunderstood? Or did you misunderstand something? Anxiety? Regret? Anger/hostility?
