I had a very disturbing dream last night, and since I rarely have nightmares (every five years or so), I am very curious as to why it happened. If anybody could offer some ideas, they would be greatly appreciated!
the dream:
I was walking in the city with a close friend and we noticed a man near us who seemed either schizophrenic or on a lot of drugs. I whispered to her that we should avoid him but somehow he heard me and came over and started attacking me. I tried to fight him off but he had a very large knife and I ended up with huge, deep gashes across one of my forearms.. they were very strange- almost the way salmon looks..all the flesh was there but hanging off of my arm. It didnèt hurt or bleed. Then, somehow I ended up back in my apartment and two friends of mine (who in real life are very kind and trustworthy) promised to spend the night with me because I felt unsafe.. but they were acting odd. They went to sleep in another room and just as I turned off the bright lights, I turned around and there was the creepy man who attacked me, only he looked more like a classic movie homicidal maniac than when I saw him on the street. Yet, I knew it was him. I felt the most profound fear I have ever experienced.. this was the most realistic part of the dream- the fear.. and then I realized that it was a fake dummy and the two friends came into the living room, laughing- they pulled a prank on me (but in the dream, I still had the wound on the arm, and the man on the street was real). I also remember a vague sensation that these people I used to work with were all in on this prank and some other kind of plot against me. Kind of a paranoid dream, I suppose. When I woke up, I still felt unsafe for a few minutes. Any thoughts? Thanks! IP: Logged |

Probably you are still very much scared of some guy (the one you posted about in Health & Healing?) and your friends dont seem to be of any help there, maybe they just don't realize how vulnerable you are at the moment and how much you need their emotional support...  ------------------
Where there's feeling, Life itself is right behind.

Thanks, Peri
You are probably right- I still do have that fear in my waking life and I am feeling oddly misunderstood by my friends, which I've never felt before.

Hello whiterabbit  I think Peri may have nailed it on the head. It especially makes sense that you feel misunderstood by your friends. I don't know what happened with you and this man, but I hope you are able to take from him the power of fear that he has over you. Maybe future dreams will give us some indication. We would be interested in hearing them. Thank you for sharing your dream.  IP: Logged | |
