Had the most disturbing dream ever. Advice?

[Anonymous]

So I dreamt that I was at my house with my brother and for whatever reason he was trying to kill me, always waiting in ambush with a gun in several locations throughout the house. I avoided him each time and eventually confronted him and talked to him (I don't remember what it was about) then he walked away and began to pray in front of a random alter that appeared (the creepy kind of serial killer praying). It's weird because my brother despises religion. while he's praying I sneak off to talk to my mother who is trying to sleep and tell her that he's going to kill me, but she ignores me without even opening her eyes. Then while I'm in mid sentence my brother walks in the room throws a knife at me which stabs me in the head, and walks out without even looking to see that he hit me. As I'm dying I call out to my mom only to have her ignore me and eventually open her eyes and make that super creepy horror movie smile before I wake up while yelling out to her (I don't know if i was really yelling in real life or if that was only in the dream). This is one messed up dream and I know about the theory that dreams show us the health of our mental state, but I'm actually the happiest I've ever been in a long time. I'm about to graduate highschool and go into the Army as well as Westpoint, and I'm getting tons of awards from my school and JROTC unit for working my butt off for the past 4 years while others have tried putting me down and hating me out of jealousy because I have done more than all of them have. So I don't really have many friends left due to envy and hatred. But anyways what do you think? I'm kind of concerned.

I've had realy freaky nightmares myself. That part where you go into your mom's room and try to get her attention but she just ignores you and is completely unaware is interesting, because I have the SAME thing go on in my nightmares that occur in my house. I've had more than one where there's someone or something inside my house or threatening to break in and I and try to wake up my mom, but she doesn't wake up. Then the thing breaks into the bedroom where we both are and lunges at me, and normally I'm so scared at that point I force myself awake, out of the dream. And these dreams happen for me when I'm happy too, completely randomly. I don't think they mean much of anything though... Like that you're in danger or anything. I watch a lot of the paranormal shows on Destination America and I've learned a thing or two about dreams you should be concerned with. If it's a really bad dream that keeps recurring, that can be a sign. And if you wake up with claw marks on your body from a bad dream, that is also a sign. Also, if you feel like you're being choked while you're sleeping multiple nights in a row, that's not good. So I don't have an explanation for your dream, but I wouldn't be concerned about it. Also, congrats for all your awards and graduating!

I'd say that this dream can change the trajectory of your life.

I get dreams about things, which might appear random to everyone else bit there's always hidden meaning behind each one and there isn't a single one that hasn't come true.

All I can say is watch out! Because a dream about you dying might symbolise the end of something to do with you on your life, not necessarily you. Something's out to get you and I'm sorry but that's one he of a scary dream. It also implies that nobody will be there to help you with is symbolised in your dream, by your mother not caring and your brother killing you.

For instance, I was having this dream, a good couple of times where i would fall from a height or building bit never touch the ground. There came an instance in my life where that was reflected. I was low on life, I personally felt like I had hit rock bottom but then came the solution and I'm in a much better place. Maybe if I was really meant to rock bottom in my life then would I have landed flat on the ground in my dream? It's possible

I'm sorry if this got too deep and you think I'm talking a load of rubbish! Haha

That's quite normal.

I've watched a few too many zombie movies as a kid, and had a dream that my brother was a zombie chasing after me. I ran into a school bus and used a flamethrower to torch him.

Also had a dream my dad was a zombie fighting my mom who was a banshee and she screeched the most awful wailing noise that made me wake up crying.

Also a few other strange dreams of me being a samurai and being stabbed by my ally and killed. I suspect perhaps it was my previous life :)

Honey, it's just a dream. Go back to sleep.

You can look up what some of the things mean in a dream dictionary, but I don't think that you need to.
