Dream experts....I have a question

[HEyHEY]

I had a dream, more of a nightmare, I brutally beat two friends to death. I made nice and when their backs were turned..I did it. What the hell does that mean?

It spooked the crap out of me. All I can think is that it's two friends I haven't been able to speak to since I decided to move, despite trying to contact them. I woke up all shakin and spooked.
Hope this thread doesn't make anyone think I'm a nutcase.

1. No one thinks your a nutcase...

Hey look over there! (dials 911)

2. disregard the voice of Gilbert Gottfried as your dog commanding murder

that's the best course of action.

Sometimes a brutal dream murder is just a brutal dream murder, said Ziggy Somethingorother.

3. what trigger fucked up shit like that?

[thebigidea]

4. an undercooked potato(e), a bad spot of mustard...

lingering malaise about the Jacob Marley situation...

the music of "Tiffany"...

uh, too many episodes of H.R. Puffenstuff...

NARRATOR: "Yes, meaningless things often trigger meaningful murders. Next, we'll see a sad case involving a mildmannered individual tormented by nightly visions of borderline manslaughter involving Rob Schneider..."

5. Some guesses...

Are you afraid you've hurt them? Do you think that by moving--or during the move--you somehow "stabbed them in the back" or caused the relationship to end prematurely?

6. do you often find yourself inexplicably craving cocktail shrimp?

does the word "proactive" make you froth at the mouth?

does Tony Danza trigger thoughts of warmth or cold rage?

[HEyHEY]

7. possibly

yeah never know. I'm not afriad I've hurt them though

14. Feel guilty about leaving?

Are you leaving because they failed to support you in some way?

Are you angry and guilty about the anger? Does your handwriting suddenly slant left?

[HEyHEY]

15. No pretty supportive friends

Can't figure it out...guess it's just the way things happen sometimes

8. I'm calling the dream police.

They live inside of my head.

[thebigidea]

10. for god's sake, man - don't fall asleep! That's just what they'd expect!

[Paul Hood]

16. Never never sleep

will not come...zzzzzzz

[moof]

9. Dreams = the brain exercising it's circuits

Now about this

"Hope this thread doesn't make anyone think I'm a nutcase."

It may be way too late for hope on that front.

Just kidding, don't lose any more sleep over the dream &

have you named your bear yet ?

[HEyHEY]

11. Frosty I believe

[POed_Ex_Repub]

12. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Most modern Psychologists don't interpret dreams the way Freud did in the old days.. *Well, okay, some of the self-help people still do, but most of them aren't as respected in the professional community* If you're having these urges while you're awake, then I'd worry.... Otherwise, don't sweat it, we all have creepy dreams sometimes. :)

[HEyHEY]

13. no not while awake

thank GOD

17. buy-bye to friendships is what your subconscious is afraid of

Sheesh, that's so simple I can figure it out in a heartbeat. It means that you're afraid you've terminated the friendships by moving. Death in dreams doesn't mean death. It just means "the end." Your subconscious is afraid the friendships are over and due to "your own hand." The message is that a) the friendships mean more to you than you're willing to admit and b) this is of your own doing.

Don't throw logic into the equation (meaning the fact that you've tried but failed to connect, which happens all the time in communications). The subconscious doesn't care about the niceties of trying or the logic that somebody's out or busy or can't return the call for any other good reason. Bottom line is that this part of you needs and wants to hear from them.
