Dream of woke up, bloody, died, injured, raining, surrounded, eyes, father, mother, swim

My brother,my father,my mother, my dad's friend are stuck in a high platform surrounded by a raging sea. It's raining and lightning occasionally flashes. Everyone is looking out at a oddly shaped island in the distance. It's in the shape of a circle, with water in the middle. There's more water than land. The island has random jutted elevations all around the land circle. There's a ladder on the tallest one, that goes straight into the raging sea. On the other side of the body of water in the middle of the island is another raised land feature, also with ladder, although it's not as tall as the one closer to the platform me all stood in. My mother is not looking at the island with us, she is in a tub, bloody and injured. Something must've happened that I couldn't remember. She's still alive though, but barely. For some reason, we all decided that the island was the safest place to be, and that we had to get there somehow. We had one lifesaver like floater with two ropes attached. My dads friend only showed up in the dream sometimes, other times he'd disappeared. It's as if he was only there to talk to my dad. My dad said he'd swim across first. My brother immediately disagreed saying it was too dangerous. Before anyone could object, he slid under the handrail and into the water. Me and my dad watched in horror as he swam across the violent sea towards the island. A flash of lightning made the water transparent for a bit and me and my dad saw a group of giant sharks and monsters swimming under my brother, they started trailing him. We watched, and screamed for him to swim faster, but he couldn't hear anything. He swam past the first ladder and went for the second one. The lightning flashed again to reveal a giant shark directly underneath my brother. He decided to go for the first ladder again and turned around. Me and my dad were panicking at how long he was staying in the water, but he made it and climbed onto the platform. Suddenly my dads friend was back and commenting at how many monsters were in the water, my dad got ready to swim across. I objected and told him that I'll go first, then me and my brother would swim back with the lifesaver, and get him, which was on the circular island. The rain continued to pour, and I looked down at the water, waiting for lightning to make it transparent again. In the distance I saw two huge black figures come out of the water and go back in. I could feel dread and panic over taking me. I went to my mother and told her to hang on. Her eyes opened but she couldn't speak due to her injury. I slid under the handrail and dropped into the sea. I started swimming my legs off, I dared not to look down into the darkness. The ladder was getting closer. The lightning flashed and directly under me I saw something that had a long neck and large teeth. It was looking right at me. I swam faster, reached the ladder and climb up to meet my brother. The point of view changed. Now it was my father and his friend, staring from the platform to the dark figures of me and my brother across the raging sea. Suddenly, the long neck of the monster came out of the water and started attacking me and my brother. My dad watched in horror. My dads friend talked to him, saying something obvious. He said something like "the monster will keep attacking them till they die." My dad watched as I wrapped a rope around the monsters mouth and held on tightly, as did my brother. The monster moved violently. Our tiny dark figures were thrown around as my dad watched. Finally, he watched us get eaten alive as we fell into the beasts' mouth. My father looked at his friend and said, "I would like to share the same grave as my sons. He jumped into the water. The view was of him hitting the water, but never emerging out. My mother was still in the tub, bleeding out. Me,my brother, and my dad were standing over her smiling. We were dead though. She smiled back at us, and closed her eyes, I assumed she died too. That's when I woke up.

Dream Interpretation Analysis

Meaning of woke up in a dream

When you wake up you actually see the life as they are, you are no longer closed in your concept. To wake up from the dream, you are really accepting and knowing who you are. We are all familiar with the situation called "dream". We sleep, we are in a kind of unconsciousness, disconnected from the reality around us. However, while we are "in" within the dream, we feel it as a real reality, and experience a great many emotions, thoughts and situations. When morning comes and we wake up we "sober up" and realize that everything that happened in the dream was not real, while the reality in our waking state is real. Similarly, a person who attains spiritual attainment feels that the world and physical reality were not real. The Kabbalists express this feeling in the words "we were like dreamers." In so doing they want to illustrate to us that the real reality into which man "awakens" after acquiring the spiritual senses, is the only one that exists while the physical reality in which we seem to live today, is but a temporary dream from which we are all to awaken.

Meaning of bloody in a dream

The appearance of blood in a dream may frighten us terribly and raise questions: Is the appearance of blood in a dream related to injury and harm to us or, conversely, is it related to an experience of power and animals? How should we analyze dreams in which blood appears and what meaning should we give them? Here are some suggestions for interpretation. Interpretation of blood in a dream In note life the appearance of blood usually signifies injury or injury and accordingly, evokes fears and a feeling that we are physically or mentally threatened. In contrast, the appearance of blood in a dream may have different and additional meanings pertaining to both the symbolic meaning of blood and the personal psychological meanings of blood for each and every dreamer. The meaning of the blood symbol in a dream Deciphering dreams by deciphering the meanings of symbols that appear in a dream is the earliest approach to deciphering dreams. Already in the Bible and ancient Egyptian writings there are references to trying to identify the meaning of specific symbols that appear in a dream, and even in the early days of psychoanalysis the meaning of specific symbols was emphasized. Blood in a dream is considered to be an element that can have different symbolic meanings. A hated person is the source of blood in a dream. It is important to note that these interpretations are questionable and most professionals in the field of psychology will oppose them. This, from a conception that denies the existence of universal meanings specific to the symbols of the dream, and emphasizes the personal subjective meaning of the appearance of blood in a dream for each dreamer and dreamer.

Interpretation of the dream in psychological terms How, then, can one find the personal meaning of blood in a dream? Sigmund Freud, along with his reference to the symbolic meanings, suggested that the dream is "the king's way to the unconscious" since it reveals unconscious and inaccessible contents in ignorance. To prevent the awakening of too much anxiety, the mind disguises the dream by various means including condensation, displacement, symbolization and so on. To decipher the dream and the meanings behind the camouflage, Freud suggested that one should look at the dreamer's spontaneous associations and decipher through them the personal meaning that a particular element has for the dreamer. For example, a man who dreamed that his boss was cut from a glass of a door, described in associations to a dream that as a child he was cut by crises of a glass that his father dropped and needed several stitches. For this dreamer, the appearance of blood in the dream symbolized feelings of anger and aggression towards the father. In contrast, the appearance of blood in a dream symbolized for a girl who began to recover from prolonged dealing with anorexia the appearance of menstruation, which symbolized an improvement in her physical condition. What does a recurring blood dream mean? The recurrence of blood in a dream, similar to the repetition of other elements in dreams, means that our mind is trying to process a particular subject or unconscious content is trying to rise to our consciousness. However, in some cases the recurring appearance of blood in a dream, accompanied by a feeling of fear and discomfort, is in some cases associated with an anxiety disorder known as blood phobia and manifests itself in excessive and extreme fear of blood appearance or blood-related situations (e.g. blood tests, injections). People dealing with a blood phobia may be intensely preoccupied with blood both when awake and in their dreams. How to deal with recurring blood dreams? The way to deal with recurring dreams is to try to understand their personal meaning and the emotional causes of their recurrence. As mentioned, the recurrence of blood in a dream often marks the mind's attempts to draw our attention to an unresolved issue or conflict. Accordingly, the best way to deal with recurring dreams about blood is to listen to the dream and try to decipher it. It is important to note that in case the recurrence of blood in the dream appears as part of a state of blood phobia - it is important to also treat the dream as part of an anxiety disorder which is recommended to be treated through cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Meaning of died in a dream

Death is often the most feared of symbols for obvious reasons. But it can link to the thought off death or some eerie moment the day before that really scared you. But really death is not such a bad symbol overall. It may link to a situation that has just ended in your life or change or transition such as leaving a job. If a friend dies then it may simply mean that the friendship has been allowed to die and is now not as important. Death can also link to things that you cannot do now and limitations placed upon you. So overall look for changes and transitions in your life and your fears associated with them. Often your fears associated with this symbol are misplaced - the dream may simply mean that some very interesting TV show has just ended and you are having to fill the hole.

Similar Dreams

I'm Nigerian and Igbo, I had a dream that all the Igbos in the State I was staying in right now(an igbo State) and, actually everybody, even non Igbos were being told we could no longer stay in our homes for some reason and to pack no more than 4 bags each of all our stuff and to come to a location and drop our luggage in a line, that the government would have them taken to new residence and use it to assign us to them. I think? Or something. And that we were not allowed to hold on to our luggage, that we *had* to put it down on the line, then go take a seat for the large state wide conference being held and listen to what the governor of the state had to say. The tension lay in the fact that throughout the stress of packing with the family I was living with in the dream (my cousins and aunty), entering a vehicle, and driving to the mandated location, I was terrified that this was actually a genocide. I kept on begging my Aunty and cousins to consider that this might be a genocide, or to flee the state and put our luggage in a relatives house in a neighboring state. They did not listen until the last possible moment, when I thought up and suggested the latter, by then we had already reached and dropped our luggage, and a female army soldier had appeared nearby and was watching us, so we had to leave it be. Another thing is on the drive there we would see things that in the logic of the dream, could have pointed to this being a genocide. One being a tree that we passed that may or may not have been a species that "usually" grew due to the circumstances that could be caused by a pogrom in dream logic, eg excess blood in the soil or the smoke of burnt human remains in the atmosphere or something like that. But it was never spoken out loud only suspected, so whether this was true in the dream isn't certain. secondly on 2 occasions I would see hills in the distance just absolutely *covered* in trash, sometimes with small piles of trash burning. And i would suspect whether the trash was actually the belongings and luggage we were submitting to the federal government. This one out of fear for such an outright confirmation was kind of doubted immediately by me. When sitting down for the conference, closest to the stage where the governor was speaking, a Hausa man in this dream, it was at a point where it was kind of up to the mechanics of my brain whether this dream would turn out to be something else or indeed a genocide. And in the dream I was either subconsciously or consciously but partially aware of this fact, it was why the 3 instances of evidence for genocide were being doubted with hope in the first place. So every word the governor would say had me on the edge of my seat hoping my dream would come in and provide a different explanation, soon a different scenario. One of the bases of my hope being the blatantly lower class Hausa people also standing around in the crowd because they live in the state too so had also been forced to leave their homes. Because in real life such drastic antagonistic action would never be taken with their own tribe in the direct crossfire. Either the Hausas in the government favoured their population, or betrayed them class-wise in a way that could be spun as justifiable. Anyways it was during this speech that I woke up. My heart was pounding so hard I expected it to be painful and causing some other physical reaction (the same way stomach aches are accompanied by nausea and a need to defecate). It got under control though, and I immediately started typing this.
