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.

Well I looked it up from notes on the subject of violent dreaming. It turns out that repeatedly having violent, sadistic and sexually oriented dreams may not only be associated with severe truama. These kind of reoccuring dreams can also be a product of a developing body. I'd be willing to bet that at 17 you are pretty much a hormonal hairless monkey like the rest of us at that age. So its actually pretty common to have such "disturbing" dreams. If you've had repeated dreams of killing your mom it could mean that you have an issue with your feminine self. Perhaps you are not as attractive as you'd like or on deeply sub-conscious level feel inferior (because the males in your life tended to be chuvenistic). - those are the most common causes of these types of dreams in adolescents.

I'm guessing these dreams are probably just a by-product of your development and really don't mean anything serious.

However there's no fun in hearing just that so for the hell of it here are some other possibilities reoccuring violent/sexual dreams can mean: (ummm I'm not saying any one of these applies to you. Its just some trivia to kill a bit of time)
Violent and sexually oriented dreams can represent a deeply repressed perversion, the most common being homosexuality. Also fetishism (more common in older people) such as sado-masocism, domination, transvestism, painful sex, bestiality, role playing (in the extreme sense like dressing as a clown or wearing animal suits before sex) and so on. It also turns out that serial killers tend to have violent and sexually charged dreams. It is common for children who have been molested, violently abused, or raped, to have bad dreams as well. War veterans with post truamatic stress often exhibit reoccuring dreams of violence - not with the addition of sex of any kind.

People who have these kinds of dreams tend to have both dreams that are either just violent or just sexual and dreams that mix the two. If these dreams make you wake in a state of terror, sweating, rapid heart and these occur at least once a week over the past several months you could be having night terrors. Night terrors are more common in child and people with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Come to think of it I remember reading an article in my dream interpretation class that claimed minors between the ages of 12 and 18 who engage in sex, especially "sex parties" - orgy, whatever, tend to have violent and sexual dreams. This happens usually because they know what they are doing is wrong and have repressed guilt. If I remember correctly this was figured based on a number of minors who got pregnent and had an abortion to keep their parents from finding out.

Crazy stuff huh?
