Dear
SMYD,
Oddly I'd
only commented to my wife last night that I hadn't killed anyone in my dreams
for a while.
As if a
message was registered in my brain, there I was hiding under a table with a
sword.
A man
walks past me and I run the sword into his chest, up to the handle, protruding
the blade out the back of his spine. I
watch his dying breath and remove the weapon.
Knowing
there are more men on the floor above me, I put my victim into the elevator and
send the body up to them as a warning along with a small monkey to operate the
buttons.
As the
bell pings and the doors open the others are met by a bloodied corpse with a
primate sitting on him.
The last
part of my dream involved me pulling up outside a shop in a VW camper van with
my mum. She stayed in the van while I
played a fruit machine that was in the shop window, using hessian dollar bills
as cash.
I put one
in and there suddenly appeared a hand written note in my handwriting saying,
'Out of order'.
Signed,
Oh
no! A Killer Again!
Dear Killer,
One of
the beauties of dreams is that we know they speak in metaphors!
You say
that you haven’t killed anyone in your dreams for a while indicating that this is
a recurring dream. Or at least its theme
of killing someone is. As with many
recurring dreams, the setting or even characters may change, but the essential
actions repeat themselves.
One of
the best ways to get insight into a recurring dream is to make a note of it
when you have it. You won't need to
write it out in detail unless you want to.
Just make a note like, "dreamed of killing the man again, this time
with more upstairs."
Then ~
and this is key ~ make another note of what's going on in your waking life in
the days preceding the dream. Chances
are excellent that the dream recurs when certain circumstances or trains of
thought are prevailing in your waking life.
For example, does it always come on high stress days? You'll only need to make notes like this two
or three times before the connection presents itself to you!
Without
more conversation with you some general observations might help: Given that you’re under a table as well as on
a lower floor, consider the idea that you’re killing a subconscious pattern of
thinking or habit –suggested by the monkey on the dead man’s back. The pattern or habit is persistent; therefore
you must suppress it repeatedly, in recurring dreamwork, and issue the warning
that this habit must not rise to the surface.
Hessian
money (used to pay mercenaries) is “out of order” indicating you must do the
work of beating a bad habit yourself Dear Dreamer!
Sweet
Dreams to You!
SMYD
Thanks for the interpretation of my dream, all I would say is pop onto my blog & have a look at some of my other dreams to get a better picture of my brain when its asleep.
