I was running through the woods as fast as I could. It was sunset time. I was wearing clothes I don't recognize. I kept looking over my shoulder like I was being chased by someone. After what seemed like hours of running, I happened upon a group of people sitting on their knees. They were all screaming and crying. I felt like I knew them somehow, like they were close to me at one point. As soon as I saw them, I dropped to me knees and began crying hysterically. It was like I knew what was coming. One by one their screaming stopped. Their hysterics turned into expressionless stares into nothingness. Then they all just collapsed to the ground. Completely lifeless. My own emotions began to shift to anger and rage. I've never felt anything quite like that before. As I began to stand up, something startled me awake.
So needless to say, I woke up drenched in sweat. I cried for a few minutes. I mean, I've had vivid dreams in the past, but this just... Yeah. I don't think I could ever forget their faces.
To dream that you are running away from someone indicates an issue that you are trying to avoid. You are not taking or accepting responsibility for your actions. In particular, if you are running from an attacker or any danger, then it suggests that you are not facing and confronting your fears.
ReplyDeleteTo dream that you are in or walking through the forest signifies a transitional phase. Follow your instincts. Alternatively, it indicates that you want to escape to a simpler way of life. You are feeling weighed down by the demands of your life.
To see a group in your dream refers to the merging of various aspects of your character and personality
To see people you don't know in your dream denotes hidden aspects of yourself that you need to confront or acknowledge.
To dream that you are crying signifies a release of negative emotions that is more likely caused by some waking situation rather than the events of the dream itself. Your dream is a way to regain some emotional balance and to safely let out your fears and frustrations. In your daily lives, you tend to ignore, deny, or repress your feelings. But in your dream state, your defense mechanisms are no longer on guard and thus allow for the release of those feelings that you have repressed during the day.
To see someone else crying in your dream may be a projection of your own feelings onto someone else. If you do not cry in your waking life, then seeing someone else cry may be a little easier to deal with then seeing yourself cry.
To dream that you are holding or expressing anger symbolizes frustrations and disappointments in your Self. You tend to repress your negative emotions or project your anger onto others. You need to look within yourself.
Being angry in your dream may have been carried over from your waking life. Dreams function as a safe outlet where you can express your strong and/or negative emotions. You are suppressing your anger and aggression, instead of consciously acknowledging them
That is in short what things might mean to you.. does this make sense in your situation?
Not that I can tell... I suppose I have to do some soul searching and find out. I will show this post to my therapist and see what he thinks about it. Thank you.
