I dreamed that I was stabbed with a knife by my family through my neck but what was strange is that I was watching it all as a third person for much of the dream, like a movie, which is very unusual for me. Also, in the dream I was not the me I am in this life and my family was not the family I have in this life. In my dream I had a sister instead of a brother.

The disturbing part that I cannot understand is that I figured out by the end of the dream that "I" was mentally challenged. It was like they thought I had no way to defend myself.

One cool thing was that I normally DO NOT see light in my dreams and although it was not really sunny, instead of it being night time as it usually is, it was dusk. That part was really enlightening (no pun intended).

I can see what alot of this might mean and how it relates to my life but the mentally challenged part is strange and I'm not sure how that applies. Maybe it was representative of being defenseless in some way?

Love

Yes ... defenseless, helpless, something like that. And this would have something to do with communication or expression (neck/throat), or definate problems in this area as relates to your family. Do you think there could be some past-life aspect to this as well? Kind of has that feeling.

And I find the dusk very interesting, considering the usual darkness in your dreams.

What do you think?

Yeah, I got kind of excited about the whole dusk thing! There was actual sun, but it seemed to be about to set. Well, communication/family has always been an issue for me. I think communication is the most important thing but my family has not always agreed. The neck is interesting too b/c when I was 18, I suddenly started to have neck and back problems which I continue to have to this day although they are significantly better now since I have been studying healing for several years. I do think that I hold my stress in that area though. Yeah past life...it could be. I'm not sure. I sort of saw elements of my current life within the dream but I could also see some unrelated things about it as well.

I have been having so many intense dreams lately and they tend to revolve around similar themes but I can't always remember them even when I make an effort to do so.

As always, thanks for your imput!

That is a lot to think about, and I would say that you are making progress in understanding, well, whatever it is you are trying to understand or accomplish ... reflected by the "enlightening" aspect of the dream.

Just another little piece of information I neglected the first time - stabbing often indicates/symbolizes anger. Does this emotion factor in? For you or them?
