Last night (10/17/05) I did not sleep so soundly. Here's why: I'm observing a man who resembles actor Alan Alda as he looks over a corpse, horrified. An alien being has the ability to enter the human body and eat it from the inside. I see someone running and screaming as a long grayish-white tenticle is sprouting from his arm. The Alda character is looking at a body that's arm is slit open, revealing the bone with no muscle surrounding it. Then I'm watching a TV mini series in which young people are being either brainwashed or hypnotized into following some "thing" that is hidden. It is not known what exactly this thing is, human--alien being--poltergeist? But it lures one young man to follow it through a hallway of an institution (school?). I'm frightend while watching this, in fear of seeing the cannibal creatures again, but I'm compelled to watch. end :shock:
This sounds like it stands for some type of transformation. Not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that your unconscious will perceive change as frightening.
I found this interesting: Nightmares of pure terror may be expressed in dreams of gory deaths and graveyard ghouls, and even cannibalism. The author Gustav Flaubert dreamt of a bloody orgy on which he was the main dish, The typical prisoner nightmare, he could neither shout nor move. https://www.dreaming.life/dream-themes/bad-dreams-and-nightmares.htm Good to know I'm not alone.
