Last night I dreamt I was alone walking down a wide road at night, barefoot. Suddently an older guy in his thirties shows up. He was tall and dark-skinned he had the deepest indigo eyes I have ever seen. He was wearing black and his ring finger and pinkie were cut off from his hand, his arm was bleeding all over. I run to him and asked if I could help him. He handed me a knife its handle laced with gold and told me to kill him. I said I coudn't do it, he begged me over and over to just stab him in the heart and end it all. I took the knife and stabbed him where he asked. He crumbled down to the ground and the light of life in his eyes faded away. I stood over his dead body crying hysterically with his blood all over my clothes. I woke up startled, the pillow was soaked with tears and I was shaking like a leaf.That was one of the most intense dreams I ever had. I still remember that scene so vividly, it was so scary and unbelievably sad ! What terrified me what that overwhelming feeling of guilt I felt once I stabbed him. He asked me to do it so why was I feeling so sad and guilty over his death ?? IP: Logged |

Hey Silver,Are you male or female? That would make the interpretation a bit different. EDIT: A few questions that may help you get tto the bottom of things. Do you perhaps feel a bit 'lost' in life at the moment? Not sure where you are going in life and what to expect? Who you are and who you want to be? The killing of this 'stranger' is killing of an aspect of yourself. Feeling so bad about it I would say this aspect might be of help to you. Especially because of the indigo eyes representing 'truth & spirituality' among other things. The black clothes, color of the skin, it being night time, etc. all point out you are unaware of this influence. It might very well be your 'shadow self', the part we don't like to look at, but can give us immense energy once we start working with it. Are you breaking with some habits you think you should not have in real life? What are you 'cutting out'? Or perhaps 'not willing to look at'? He is 'stabbed right in the heart'. What's going on with your heart (emotions, love compassion)? What is hurting you in real life? Do you feel disconnected (the missing ring finger) or unable to act (wounded arm)? Hope this gets you started a bit. Bye

I'm a female, twirl. I had this painful experience of being shunned and shut off from my very religious/conservative community because of my rather " rebellious" thoughts/ways. I'd been called names by many people and badmouthed behind my back constantly.Ever since I always chose to keep my guard up when meeting new people choosing to keep the comfort of this shell I've built around myself. It kept me safe from hatred and pain. I never show people the real me, always trying to seem boring/superficial so no one would care enough to approach me. Lately I've been feeling this compelling urge to break through this shell, to freely be me and care not about what anyone would say. I feel like I'm suffocating and I need to breath. I hate how much this past experience has damaged my social life, making me always second guessing people, always wary of them, thinking the worse of their intentions. I had enough of this ! I want to let it all go and forget. I want it dead and gone. IP: Logged |

Hello SilverFeather  Twirl and I are of the same mind here. As you are female, the older guy in your dream is not your shadow aspect, but I would still say that he represents an aspect of yourself anyway. He could represent masculine energies/aspects within you that have been wounded, such as assertiveness or aggression or other "active" energies. What you have written in response to Twirl's most excellent perspective makes a great deal of sense. Perhaps the dream is suggesting that it is time to "kill" this wounded part of yourself, let go of the guilt and pain, and get on with your life. Walk in Peace IP: Logged |
