The Right Honourable Jimmy Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 So I've been sleeping for about 3 hours a night for the past 2 weeks which is better than I slept before but lately every time I dream I found my my self killing people in my dreams which is slightly odd and I have an accomplice to...but I am not killing children ect. but people who I am not fund of plus other people who I don't know but happen for some reason annoy me during dreaming. I seem to enjoying myself while I'm dreaming..so they are not necessarily unpleasant, these dreams... anyone experienced anything like this? It's odd...and frankly silly to be honest...I'm smart enough even on a subconscious level not to kill people, I don't want to go to dream jail..

Bad Haiku Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I have these dreams too. Everyone seems to agree that they're harmless. Edited May 5, 2015 by Bad Haiku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan77 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have not had dreams of killing people in recent years. However in my late teens up to mid-twenties I had recurring dreams of killing people which really upset me, especially since the people I was "killing" were people I loved. I was reassured that these dreams were not a reflection of my personality and that I didn't have a deep seated desire to murder anybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearhead Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Dreams are just your subconscious blowing off steam. Four nights ago I dreamed that I had grown a rather lovely curly auburn pelt across my chest and the front of my thighs-rather like this dog's fur: http://www.petyourdog.com/dog_pictures/irish-doodle-with-red-fur/1496 It was very silky and I was somewhat bemused by it. I kind of liked it, but I knew my husband was going to blow a gasket, so in my dream I was trying to figure out a way to remove the fur that would not involve shaving.

chem Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Gear, that sounds to me like your subconscious is telling you to be a Yeti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickler Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 My subconscious often puts me in feces-filled bathrooms in my dreams. Really....I think it's about dieting. ...I have no desire to poop all over the place. ...You have no desire to kill people. It's just dream imagery. If asked to speculate, I'd say you're " killing " symbolic portions of yourself, trying to get rid of parts you dislike, therefore it's a dream about becoming an improved person? But I could be totally wrong on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So I've been sleeping for about 3 hours a night for the past 2 weeks which is better than I slept before but lately every time I dream I found my my self killing people in my dreams which is slightly odd and I have an accomplice to...but I am not killing children ect. but people who I am not fund of plus other people who I don't know but happen for some reason annoy me during dreaming.

It's odd...and frankly silly to be honest...I'm smart enough even on a subconscious level not to kill people, I don't want to go to dream jail.. I've definitely experienced some very upsetting things in my dreams. Cops chase me, I crash cars, hurt people, get lost. Like Stickler, lots of exploding poopy toilets. I was babysitting two young girls but walked outside the house and forgot. I ran to back to my house in a dreadful panic. The two little girls were floating upside down, dead, in the tub. Once I had a vicious sword fight with my sister. Rapiers,whipping back and forth. I was filled with so much anger during the dream that the next day I felt amazingly guilty, as if I had actually FOUGHT my sister in real life. Dreams are the place we work out all this shit. They can be very distressing and scary. Last night for the first time in years I screamed so loud in my dream I woke myself and hubs up. My mother suddenly grabbed my arm hard out of the dark in my childhood house. Did this actually happen? Is it a memory? Or is it a physical representation of her constant negative voice in my head I hear everyday in 'real' life. I don't know. You are the best person to understand your dreams. My therapist taught me this. I have always had amazingly vivid, emotional, exhausting dreams. They color my day. He helped me to understand that ultimately, I am the only one who can interpret what they mean, if anything. Ultimately it's good you are killing people in your dreams and not in your life. :-} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
