Killing Spree Dream Options

Greetings fellow forum members,

'm new to this forum, this is the first post that I've made. I will tell you about my dream, I would like suggestions as to what it means and references as to what things mean in dreams. Thank you.

My dream is this: The hall is long and aqua color like the walls are water but frozen, it feels as though I'm watching myself walking down these halls, a few rooms with people in them and a garage door at the end of the hall. I'm watching myself look into these rooms with a curved knife behind my back, a belt consisting of nails, the ends of two screwdrivers sticking out of my pockets and a hammer sticking out the back of my pants. I seen myself walk into one room and there was screaming, I couldn't really see the people but I seen the blood splatter the wall in the room, I seen myself walk back out of the room and look at me with blood on my own face.

That should have scared me into waking up, but anyway.. continuing.. I'm walking back down the hall and people are panicking in the rooms, I go into the next room and I see more blood splatter and screaming but I don't see the people, not yet. Finally people come pouring out of the rooms as I slash them and they just stand still like disfigured statues as I pass through them checking the rooms for more survivors, stabbing people in the gut and necks as I pass by them, they just stand there. Finally.. the garage, which was the most horrific part of the dream and still, why I haven't woke up yet?

I drop the knife and open the garage to see my mother in my friend's maroon truck trying to start it, I look so calm walking to the truck just as I was during the annihilation of my friends and enemies - I open the truck door and she is crying, pleading to me for mercy and I speak in a foreign tongue.. I don't know what I said, but I stab her in the eyes with the screwdrivers and hammer nails down her spine and back. I spit on her and walk away back to the door, I'm still watching myself and the hallway - there were no more disfigured statues and there was no more blood, the smell was gone. I acted like I forgot it all and I picked up the knife and went back into the garage where I find my mother lying almost dead on the cement and I run to her speaking in a foreign tongue again, holding her.

It was a very vivid dream, I slept for about 14 hours that day after having curry. :| I woke up after that and I just can't stop thinking about it even after a few months of having it. I know it's hard to believe remembering details like that but after waking up in tears, it's hard to forget. A few things that I'd like to point out, one I would never spit on my mom, I love her very much. And I wouldn't go on a bloody killing spree, the aqua - I am afraid of water. Heh, thanks for reading this. I need to figure this out to put my thoughts at rest.

Man I've read your dream but its gonna take me awhile to give you a complete diagnostic of the content (like maybe 30-45 min) and I have a fun test to take in my statistics course and paper due tomarrow for english. But I will make it a point to give you some feedback if not tonight than sometime in the near future. So hang on to your pants.

Interesting dream too by the way.

Ok test was pretty easy got done early and so I have a little time to tell you what i think your dream means: Umm its also just an interpretation don't take anything I say for gospel. but I hope I can give you some insight.

The hall is long and aqua color like the walls are water but frozen, it feels as though I'm watching myself walking down these halls, a few rooms with people in them and a garage door at the end of the hall.

You are journeying through a point in your life that is full of mixed emotions, you feel, (perhaps sub-consciously) that you are stuck in this point in life and see no other option but to keep going. The rooms with people are aspects of yourself (repressed memories, desires, emotions). The garage is the end of emotional roller coaster.

I'm watching myself look into these rooms with a curved knife behind my back, a belt consisting of nails, the ends of two screwdrivers sticking out of my pockets and a hammer sticking out the back of my pants.

You already know what aspects are contained with them. The knife is your resistance to either accept them or it is you repressing them. The belt of nails, screwdrivers and hammer is the idea in your head that you believe you can fix whatever you think is wrong with you or your life on your own. You believe yourself to be a capable person.

I seen myself walk into one room and there was screaming, I couldn't really see the people but I seen the blood splatter the wall in the room, I seen myself walk back out of the room and look at me with blood on my own face.

You feel that by cofronting with whatever is in the room you might experience fear, anxiety perhaps guilt or shame. The screaming shows a fairly high level of an emotional reaction. Whatever is the room is not a little issue. The blood everwhere is something you can't hide. It shows your emotions. Its something you think others might judge you over.

I'm walking back down the hall and people are panicking in the rooms, I go into the next room and I see more blood splatter and screaming but I don't see the people, not yet.

You return to the emotional roller coaster where you realize what you have done, what the thing(s) in the previous room represented. Each room is another aspect of yourself that you believe you can fix on your own and don't need help over, yet the emotional tormoil remains. Its like a never ending guantlet of mixed emotions ranging from anger (the killing) to fear and anxiety (the blood).

Finally people come pouring out of the rooms as I slash them and they just stand still like disfigured statues as I pass through them checking the rooms for more survivors, stabbing people in the gut and necks as I pass by them, they just stand there. Finally.. the garage, which was the most horrific part of the dream and still, why I haven't woke up yet?

You continue to fight off the negative aspects (represented by the people). The fighting is you really suppressing or denying them as a part of yourself. The checking for survivors only reinforces this. If you experienced the sensation that you want to wake up within the dream it is a sign of guilt and possibly saddness or regret.

I drop the knife and open the garage to see my mother in my friend's maroon truck trying to start it, I look so calm walking to the truck just as I was during the annihilation of my friends and enemies - I open the truck door and she is crying, pleading to me for mercy and I speak in a foreign tongue.. I don't know what I said, but I stab her in the eyes with the screwdrivers and hammer nails down her spine and back.

You let go of your desire to hide from your negative inhibitions. Instead you are confronting them head on. Your is mom is really a feminine issue within yourself. Its a part of you that you feel is in adequet or broken. It makes you angry, or at least full of dis-content. Her in the truck is the aspect trying to conform to your desires and get out of you. But you are full of dis-content. Her efforts to leave are not enough. You must fix what she represents within this dream (mom's can have multiple meanings over different dreams). But you try to fix the aspect in the wrong way. Just like in the guantlet in the hallway and how you dealt with the aspects represented by the people you slew, you are dealing with the representation of your mother the same way.

The violence is acting out of anger and fear (these two emotions are actually closely related, think fight or flight response; doing whats wrong and fearing getting caught). The hammering of nails into her is you trying to fix what she represents within the dream so that you no longer feel the negative emotions, so that you nolonger have to go down that guantlet and face your other fears or respressed, thoughts feelings and memories. Thats why you turned back to the hallway; to make sure all the bad things were gone. The speaking in tongues is you, unable to communicate with yourself to truely understand why your mind was provoked into producing this dream.

Mothers can represent rules, nuture, emotions, our own feminine side. In men they tend to be more about rules, where in women they tend to be more about feminism and fathers are about rules.

Over all I'd say the dream means that out of either repressed emotions, thoughts, memories, desires (likely many reasons), you might have gotten yourself invovled in something that you know is wrong, but feel like you can control on your own, that probably breaks some form of rules within your life (school, family, law). Understand that the stuff I'm saying may be repressed, might not be. it might be things you perfectly are aware of and just not handling in a way that makes you happy. Even then you might be content in the short term but you know your actions will make those around you unhappy in the long run.

The dream deffinately indicates an element of stress in your life. How severe is really only something you could know. I couldn't tell you without reading over a dozen of your dreams and getting to know you better as a person. If you have these kinds of violent dreams repreatedly (as in at least once or twice a month) it means that you likely suffered a traumatic event that you either repressed, or didn't properly deal with emotionally. Dreams like these also occur in drug addicts, victims of abuse/neglect, involvement in gangs, violence, illegal activity, war veterans, people in prisions or institutions.

Just because I say that doesn't mean its all thats possible or that the dream is pointing to anything so severe. It could be that you are simply in a period of increased stress (maybe your a senior at your highschool and feeling anxiety and apprehension about the future) and you should consider finding a more productive way of dealing with your emotions. Also attacking your mother can mean you are not expressing your emotions in a good way and that you are not expressing them because you don't want to have to deal with all the bagage that comes with it (the other people that you killed represent different aspects, all together bagage, that you don't want to face). The people in your dreams can represent changes too. And you are resisting the change by attacking them. Perhaps there is change in your life that makes you feel angry or just upset.

Well I hope that helps.
