ok, just as a lil background, i practice martial arts and i’m guessing that’s what’s influencing these dreams i’ve been having.
i keep having these dreams where i’m killing people. most of the time it’s because they’re trying to kill me, but occassionally i’m the agressor
i had one where i was trying to assassinate this guy i know and broke two of his bodyguards’ necks to get to him
i had another where i was walking around in the mall and snapped and killed 2 or 3 people for absolutely NO reason, then spent the rest of the dream running from the cops and wondering what the hell came over me to murder 3 people in cold blood
and last night i racked up a body count of 14 these guys from some sorta organization were out to get me for some reason, don’t ask me how i took them all but i did, and then i was fleeing the scene when the cops showed up and one of the investigators was one of my martial arts instructors, and i pulled her aside and told her that i killed all those people (i was on the verge of tears) and she looked at me sorta sad and sorta proud that i defended myself so effectively (ie proud that she taught me so well)
i dunno, i mean IRL i have the presence of mind to not go on killing rampages and am actually quite docile
anybody else experience this or am i just twisted?
Actually, no. I think you may be having these dreams for a reason, and not because you actually want to do these things in real life. We all have dreams where we do things that we would NEVER do in real life, so it’s not like your subconcious is wanting you do go on killing strikes or anything.
Here is where I step aside and let people much more creative than me analyse your dream
Dreams aren’t necessarily an expression of your own personality. More often than not, they’re simply a modified re-run of some recent memory mixed with spontaneous bursts of imagination. You might be the most passive monk in the tribe, but watch a few violent movies one day and chances are they’ll influence your dreams that night. Practicing martial arts probably encourages similarly themed, brutal adventures straight from the imagination.
i asked some of my friends who do martial arts and they have similar dreams, so that made me feel better. i used to not be able to even hurt people in my dreams. i’d try but it was like i was punching through water, or if i had a gun the bullets would miss, if i had a sword it wouldn’t cut.
i guess it’s something i’ll just have to get used to, it feels so real when it happens
i mean, usually dreams like that are exciting and sometimes kinda cool, but particularly the dream where i killed people in the mall for no reason, and the one where i killed this 14 guys, i guess it kinda made me scared of myself
oh well… as long as i don’t need to be committed, thx guys
Gimme a break, it was my first high level LD (it was as vivid as my bloody waking life, I did countless RC’s and still did not believe it. Only after I levitated did I know for sure) It wasnt so much killing people, but breaking the law, like the Judas Priest song goes: “Breaking the Law, Breaking the law!” And if youre gonna break the law, might as well kill people. But the funnest part was breaking the law of gravity!
Thats great, your not insane for dreaming all that, your just having fun, like if i was gonna fly in my ld, you choose to hack up a city Kill Bill Style. There’s nothing wrong with that, its your mind, and your just sharing the personal rush that i actually think is funny to read.
Just remmeber, you thought it was cold blooded, so it looks like you have some boundaires. So did they look at you wrong?
I have to agree its just the law of reality, and its lots of fun to break it if you know it doesnt exist ofcourse .
All these killing dreams really cracked me up, makes me feel like i have to kill someone in my next LD
these were NDs not LDs… hmm… i don’t think i’ve ever killed anybody in an LD, beat up… yes, tried to kill… yes, but don’t think i ever succeeded… i’m usually too busy flying or trying to walk through a wall
yea man 14 ppl really isnt all that much. the only dream ive ever had where i killed ppl was i was in a grocery store or sumthin and killed lotsa ppl, and after i escaped i watched the news report on a tv somewhere( or maybe i read it off a newspaper) that the death toll was 97. yep that was a non lucid dream tho, if it wasnt im sure i woulda pulled a Tommy V. and jacked a car or something and killed more than that.
I have killed a few people in my LDs, but never just for the fun of it (though I will do that do). A few times it was self defense, and the last time i killed a person it was a result of my magic powers failing on me. I lifted a person high above the ground, and let him fall down. The plan was to catch him again before he hit the ground, but my powers failed .
In the first I drove it towards my friends, killing them (and myself) in the following explosion;
in the second I walked towards a parked fuel truck and set it on fire, letting myself be propelled into the air by the resulting blastwave.
I also had a dream where I had to assassinate several people. I did, and their friends caught me and stabbed me to death with burning rods of iron… that dream was really sick.
WHen I dies in my dream I didn’t wake up. I went through the whole death process. My soul left my body and went to heaven etc. It was actually a peacful sensation. And no I don’t neccasarily take this as proof heaven exists
