This wasn't your typical nightmare. I need help interpreting what this may mean, because the dictionary doesn't contain a lot of the events in my dream. So it began with me and my father and one of my friends, who I don't hang out with too much. A girl that I do not know was also in the dream, but she didn't really APPEAR until later, though she was with us the whole time. We were in what seemed to be a town around the smokey mountains area. It was foggy, we were on the porch of a cabin at night in a really woodsy neighborhood. We were drinking and talking and once we were all drunk... (this is where it gets bad) my dad said: "Do you wanna kill her?" I am not a weird person, I don't like guns, murder, rape, anything. Just making sure that is clear. Also, I want to describe the dream how I saw it, so that maybe someone can really help interpret it. I just want to let you know it gets pretty vulgar and creepy so if you don't like that kind of stuff then I wouldn't go further. So my dad asked that question and him and my friend began beating her to death while I didn't do much and sat to the side. Until my friend says "get the skateboard" and I look behind me and grab it and deliver the last blow. We stood there and looked at her, out of breath, and I bent down to see if she was alive. Once we realized she was gone, we started panicing and were confused to why we did it. The dream shifts to morning. It appears we are still in the same town but it is now winter, because all of the trees which were full of foliage at night, have now become extremely dead. It is gray outside, and downright creepy. We are inside a different house where upstairs is our "evidence" The evidence was not a skateboard however.. you know how dreams go, they are weird. The evidence was the room upstairs with blood on the floor, and a wooden carving of an owl about 4 ft tall (evidence??haha) The people in the neighborhood assertingly came in to hang out with us, but it was as if they were part of something religious or spiritual. Because they acted like they already knew..and we tried to keep them from going upstairs but they got there in very weird ways and they saw the "evidence" and started singing a scary song in tongue's. I did NOT like that. My dad and my friend are pretty much out of the dream after that and I run away from them, downstairs and out the door as they slowly follow me, singing the song in tongue's. When I ran out the door an old man in a black gown (sort of looked like a preacher?) was standing at the side of the door facing away from the house patiently, and two more old men in the same outfit standing in the road. A kid was off to the side of the house. I keep running and one of the old men grabs my shoulder and I start screaming "No! Not another one!" and the man tells me to come with him. The kid off to the side of the house tells me " TRUST HIM! GO WITH THEM!" The dream shifts into me and the three old men inside a nice black SUV. They don't really speak much, but I finally have no feelings of guilt or fear. We were driving in what seemed to be a tunnel that spiraled downwards, there was a short wall to block the roadway from a dangerous fall to who knows where. The old men drove through the wall and off the tunnel road and into the wall, but the wall just made a ripple effect and the dream shifts again. The dream shifted, it seemed that the portal was to a memory in someone elses mind. I was in the body of a girl that I'm guessing was a friend of the girl we killed. We were in an old parking lot, in the same town in the winter setting. Her and her friends cars are all parked there and she gets out and start running asking her friends while crying "they killed __ __?!, please tell me they didn't kill ___!?" (I dont remember her name) At that point the old men are just looking at me like they were trying to show me something through all of that, and I had intense guilt in my stomach again and I started begging them not to show me this and then I woke up because someone slammed a door. If the dream would have continued I think they would have shown me more until I came to a self-realization. This is the weirdest dream I have ever had, and I think it could even be a movie. However, if there is anyone that is very good at interpreting these kind of dreams please, please, help. I do not have any idea what that could have been about. In the dictionary it says that murdering someone YOU KNOW could be this and that, but I had no idea who that girl was. Thank you so much.
I think that the girl in the dream that gets murdered could represent a part of yourself that you don't like and want to get rid of, or it could be a part of yourself that you feel is being destroyed. You use a skateboard to kill her, and a skateboard is used for transportation. This could mean that you feel that killing this part of you is an inevitable part of your journey through life. The room upstairs in the house could represent your mind or your unconscious, and the blood on the floor be about you feeling guilty about that aspect of yourself. The religious people in the house (the house may represent you) singing a scary song in tongues can mean that there are things about yourself that you don't fully understand and that you find frightening. The carved owl (owls traditionally represent wisdom) in the room with the blood could also represent a fear of knowing something. Feeling relieved after you have left the house and are in the car with the "priests" , and being safe despite going down the spiralling tunnel, could mean that you are looking for someone you can depend upon to help you deal with the difficulties in your life, you don't want to keep everything inside and have to deal with it yourself. Your screaming "No, not another one!" could mean that you have tried to find people to depend on before and they have let you down. I think the last part of the dream where you become the other girl has to do with your thinking about the choices you are making about what parts of your personality to develop and what parts you want to get rid of, and part of you feels guilty about how you are changing.
You may be right. I'm 19 years old (male) and I feel I'm at a point where I'm growing up from the partying and stupid decision phase.. and I've been finding out more about myself but I want to finally be able to understand my beliefs, which my two main aspects of that would be religion and politics. What made me start realizing I wasn't getting anywhere was when I totalled my car drunk driving. That would make a lot of sense with the skateboard and transportation. The owl - my confusion with politics and religion You have a pretty good point there, but I'd like to see if anybody else can point some things out.
