I have been having some strange dreams, and when I had the first two I just chalked it up to me being weird and having weird dreams. For the longest time I slept so deeply that I didnt remember any dreams, then all of a sudden I start remembering the one I have right before I wake up. The first one was last week I was walking through an apartment complex, they had fenced in small yards and a gate was open I saw a guy, no one I recognized, he was sitting on a chair with a gun pointed at one of the windows to an apartment, I kept walking and heard the gun shot, turned to look and he had shot himself. I went into the yard and looked at his wound, and it was just a little hole in the back of his head (much like the movies) then I woke up and felt very weird. The very next night I dreamt of a tall italian or dark haired guy, it was almost a sexual dream but all we did was kiss, and he wasnt a good kisser, just shoved his tongue down my throat and left it there, LOL I dont remember most of it, just that part, then I woke up. This morning I woke up remembering my dream, this time it was sexual and death. I was at a party with this guy I dont recognize, we were out in the woods there was ice everywhere, snow piles and a pool in the ice that was too cold to swim in. There were lots of other people around, and me and him snuck off to a secluded snow pile and started making out, he was GREAT! Then we started having sex, and it was great and I was aware of more and more people around- I started getting nervous and then there was this other guy standing over us, he had a gun and put it to my guys head, I said no! And put my hand in front of it, but he shot anyway, and my guy died and I got a gunshot wound to my hand. I had the scar for the rest of my life to remind me of this terrible thing. I woke up right then, the alarm went off. I got into the shower and started crying. I am at a loss as to what these dreams mean.
To tell you the truth, I'm at a loss about what it's all about too. It would be a bit helpful to give a little bit of background info on yourself, such as are you a student? Do you work? Are you married or in a good, or bad, relationship? If things are otherwise going great for you, perhaps you've seen too many violent movies. People shooting themselves, or getting shot could mean that you've recently got a shot, or "shock to the system." Something unexpected occured in your life that you havent' fully dealt with yet. You also may be internally punishing yourself for something. Have you done something recently that you feel guilty about?
No, nothing has happend recently in my life, its pretty much same ol same ol. I am 35, mother of 4, work in customer service. I have had someone I loved commit suicide almost 7 years ago. I thought it might have something to do with him. But I havent dreamed like this since his death, and I would think 7 years later to dream of people being shot in the head? I dont know.
Sometimes a person or event in your life will trigger an unconscious feeling about a traumatic event that occured a long time ago that can trigger a dream about it (even in a symbolic way). The dreams are telling you that you have some unresolved issues or conflicts. For example: You may have over heard a conversation about a murder/suicide that occured in a neighborhood. Since you lost someone that was close to you in a suicide, you may have some unresolved feelings of guilt or remorse that you have not consciously faced. This could cause a dream such as the first one that took place in the apartment complex.
Thank you, I figured as much, I was hoping I wouldnt have any more dreams like that, and because of the time since his death I was concerned with the dreams. Thank you again for your insight. Take care!
Yes. Having a scar for the rest of your life can stand for something that you are going to keep with yourself forever because you haven't resolved the issues behind it.
Marcia, There is no resolve for suicide. That is one of the things our loved ones leave us with when they choose to leave this world in that manner. I do think that is what the scar on my hand was indicating in the dream. Thankfully I have not had anymore of these types of dreams since that week. I havent remembered any dreams for a few days. And I am just fine with that Thank you for your feedback!
