I’ve been having a recurring theme in my dreams over the last few weeks of being chased and having to fight.
I can’t remember the exact order of the dreams, but here is what happened in the dreams I remember:
In the first dream I didn’t really put up much of a fight, someone approached me in the street holding a knife in each hand, and slit my throat. My location changed randomly and I was lying on the floor in my church bleeding out and nobody around me was offering any help.
In another I was running away from a policeman and hiding, I ran away from him because he said he was good at finding people and I wanted to try and prove him wrong. Again the chase started in my church and I was hiding in one of the houses nearby.
There was one in an unknown location where a woman was shooting at me with a revolver, I was hiding behind walls waiting for her to reload so I could try and take the gun off her, with one bullet remaining (I don’t know how I knew this, I just did) she put the barrel of the gun in my mouth, somehow I quickly took the gun off her before getting shot in the head.
In another I was walking out of my church and there was a sniper shooting at people, I spotted him and my sister grabbed his rifle, threw an uzi to me and I shot him.
There was one where I saw two fighter jets flying overhead in close proximity to each other, I commented on how good the pilots must be, then they fired hundreds of missiles in the air which came crashing down and exploded paint everywhere. But then there were also some fighter jets dropping real bombs and I was trying to find shelter.
I had a really weird dream where snakes could come out of the ground no matter where I was standing, so I would have to stay off the ground so the snakes couldn’t find me. I don’t have a phobia of snakes as I have one as a pet. In the same dream I had to fight the milkybar kid, because he was trying to blow up superman’s car. He had needles all over his arms so it made it harder to fight him. (I don’t take drugs, I swear!)
There was one pretty violent dream where someone I didn’t know was in my house, this time I was holding a knife in each hand to try and fight him, then he pulled out a gun, so I put my hands up as if I was surrendering, then threw one of the knives into his stomach, he kept pointing the gun at me (this gun was also a revolver) so I kept stabbing him over and over again.
Last night I had a dream where I was shooting at somebody, the gun was a Beretta I think, I emptied the first clip, completely missing, reloaded, emptied the second clip, reloaded again, then with my last bullet in the third clip (again, I don’t know how I knew this) I managed to shoot him right between the eyes.
There’s probably more which I’ve forgot, I’ll post back if I remember any more.
I also had a weird experience where I kept having really vivid dreams, everything felt nearly exactly as real life, but something just didn’t seem quite right. I woke up but fell asleep again quickly, I realised I was dreaming again, I was amazed out how realistic everything in the dream was, but I noticed I couldn’t wake up. I’ve always been able to wake up from a dream if I wanted to, this is the first time it happened.
In about 8 weeks I will be leaving home and living in Nevada for two years to do missionary work for my church, I’m guessing this is part of the reason why my church is a recurring theme in my dreams, but I don’t know why I’m fighting all the time.
