Dream analysis.
Ill try to keep this short
I have had a series of recurring nightmares.
two of them were particularly bad.
Here is a short hand version excluding some random BS
DREAM ONE:
>In a bar, reminiscent of one in my area.
>Crazy man following me around
>He pulls out a knife.
>Follows me, stabbing me with the knife over and over
>only using the first half inch or so
>virtually torturing me in public, stabbing me in the sides and slashing my arms.
>>>I Scream out for help in the bar, blood pouring out of my sleeves
>no one cares
>Bartender gives me a machete
>I wait till the man turns his head
>Ram it through his chest, he falls over on it
>Five mins. pass he gets up and pulls it out
>>>I put my arm on his shoulders and say "Well looks like you're dead now, like me…"
>Follows me around stabbing me more
>Somehow I manage to escape
>out side the bar hundreds of people are just running around
>They're not scared, just a mob of people. appearing to be running towards something
LAST NIGHT
>At some weird outdoor gathering.
>Move to a gym/indoor convention center
>Man has a make shift "can opener" (basically a table saw)
>I give him a can of food to open with the saw
>It works, but barely
>I let out a small chuckle in mockery
>Guy freaks out
>>>Takes the lid of the can
>Tries to restrain me and starts slashing my forearms with the jagged tin can lid
>I pull my sleeve over my arm slightly blocking the slashes
>He keeps slashing and slashing trying to pull my sleeve down (trying to torture/punish me)
>>>Hes following/chasing me up stairs. He pulls what seemed to be 5 throwing knives
>In the middle of a giant crowd, (some faces recognizable)
>>>Absolutely bloody as fuck, pouring out of sleeves i'm screaming and begging for help
>everyone just watches
(wake up/scene skip?)
-later on in same dream
>A really good friend I had an extremely bad altercation with IRL appears in my dream
>get in a scuffle
>In a sort of bear hug, basically being crushed
>>>Completely restraining me, I become totally exhausted
>says something like "You're too weak" or "I can feel you fading" but it was more sinister
Not all of my dreams involve the blood and violence but in almost all of them, at some point, I get this feeling im dead/dying or outright say "I'm dead" or something similar.
Slept in on the day of the eclipse
>Had extremely fucked up dream
>>>Pitch black, thunder storm. Started floating towards my ceiling, forced myself down to the floor
>TONS of weird religious symbolism. (Even though I rarely exposed to that kind of imagery)
I don't look at gore or watch horror movies. The "darkest" content I take in is probably the old school Fallout games. Which can be gory at times but isn't psychologically disturbing
Any thoughts?
>Pic- a cross was drawn in blood on my forehead in the nightmare I had during the eclipse (I've almost never scene this type of imagery)
