What do you make of this dream?

the Stuff Dreams are made of...

It wasn’t lucid or anything, but it was very vivid and disturbing.

There is a girl that I’ve been hanging out with a lot lately (lets call her Rachel). I really like her and get a sense that she likes me too. Anyway, I dreamed that Rachel and I were laying in bed together, probably having a conversation, in an apartment that is not the one I live in. I don’t remember all the details, but 3 armed guys busted in and a gunfight quickly ensued. In the midst of it, Rachel was shot and killed by one of them. This enraged me beyond measure. I opened fire and killed 2 of them. I tried killing the 3rd one, but he ran off after throwing a knife at me. The dream ended with me covered in blood, shaking, and calling for an ambulance. I woke up pre-dawn with tears streaming down my face and didn’t get back to sleep. It was a truly visceral experience, but I wouldn’t want to repeat it.

How am I to interpret this dream?

I would say that it is just an irrational and highly improbable concern that’s dancing around your subconscious and has manifested itself in the form of a dream.

I had dreams about my girlfriend ignoring me or cheating on me and getting drunk with other guys the first couple of days that we dated, even though she doesn’t drink and the other things are the complete opposite of something someone of her character would do.

I’d say that at most, this dream represents how much you care (although I can’t say if it’s for her, or for your extreme dislike of having knives stuck in you :razz:)

Elsewhere I’ve been told that this dream signifies my doubt in my own manliness and capability in terms of caring for and, if need be, protecting Rachel. I’m pretty much at a loss. Maybe there will be more of it tonight.
