I Killed a Man Last Night!!!

[DeeUSA]

Hi All,

Very short dream because I can't remember the beginning and middle...just the end.

I remember being outside a large brick beige rectangular (or square). I was on my way into the building to see someone. It was an office type building...it contained a lot of small merchants. The store I was going to sold weight loss pills I believe. I was standing outside of the building talking to a man (don't remember much detail about him) and looking up at the building. In order to get to the merchant I had to climb about two flights of stairs (that went straight up).

I saw the merchant and left I remember looking down the hallway and seeing the signs of different merchants on both side of the hall.

Anyway, I leave...and not sure what happens after I leave. But at the end of the dream there's this guy...caucasian, bald head and with a smile on his face. He was shooting everybody. The cops chased him into a large covered parking structure. I was in the parking structure. They almost had him surrounded but no one could get a good shot at him. Meanwhile he was picking people and cops off left and right. Bodies were falling everywhere. I'm looking around totally amazed!!!

So I'm standing behind one of the pillars...he's standing right in front of me! I have the clearest shot of everyone! All in I'm holding an automatic handgun in my hand (it was black). Now there was a someone standing next to me...I believe he was a detective...he had on a bulletproof vest on top of his plain clothes. It took a minute for what he said to register in my mind. I remember just looking at him and then looking at the killer. Then I raised the gun and shot. I shot him right in the middle of his forehead and killed him instantly!!! He fell straight to the ground...it was now eerily quiet. Then everyone was like “YES!!!”

I remember thinking to myself in my dream “I never miss my target when I aim for the head!”



Thanks for reading and I welcome any insight.

Blessings to you,

Dee

Hello Dee,

I'm not in any way an expert on dream interpretation, but after reading the story of your dream a few times I recognized a few themes. In the dream, you had to climb two fights of stairs that were very steep. To me this represents your growth. Maybe even your spiritual journey. I think the shooter represents fear. You and fear appear to have a face-off of sorts and you "kill" it by aiming for the head. I think this means that you have addressed all your biggest fears "head on" and by doing that, you've "killed" those fears.

This is only based on my intuition. Take whatever resonates with you and leave the rest. I'm sure as more people respond to your post you'll get a range of interpretations and a clearer picture. Thank you so much for sharing this Dee.

Hi Dee,

In dream symbology, a building, like a house, represents YOU. Its many rooms are different facets, aspects of you. A large building would indicate a lot of personal energy. You say that within the building are lots of small shops. In dream symbolism, shops represent opportunities, skills and abilities that you are capable of. In other words, you have many strings to your bow, a lady of many talents. On another level, they can also symbolise, the many different faces you present to the world, a chameleon, who can adapt and fit in anywhere. It may also indicate at this time you have many different choices in life being made available to you. Only you know which of these interpretations fit your current situation. Maybe they all do!!

Pillars in dream symbolism represent, strength and support. Indicating a ability to stand firm by your own personal beliefs and integrity. In the dream you are standing behind it, so in affect it is protecting you. This is where the source of your inner strength comes from. You have a strong inner moral compass. You know who you are and there is a line, you will not cross. This may have protected you in the past, from going to far down a path that was not good for you. It is doing that for you now!

In your dream you see a man. People in our dream scape on one level are all aspects of ourselves. Though I can imagine you are asking yourself, what can he possibly have to do with you. In these situations, you look at what the person is doing. Does he remind you of anyone you know in your waking life. If he does, what is it about the person that impresses itself upon you. Do they seem friendly and harmless, but turned out to be unpredictable even dangerous?

To be shot by someone or to see someone shooting in a dream, is connected to killing off aspects of the self. So the people you see being shot in the dream, are in some way connected to you. The parking area, is symbolic of where we rest our energy. As vehicles in dreams represent our personal energy available to us. So parking, indicates a resting point. In life, have you taken time to slow down, to think through what you want to do next in your life? Have you been doing some serious introspection, thinking about what in your life, do you no longer need, or actively need to rid yourself of? The shooting to me indicates there is definitely a lot of inner spring cleaning going on!

Policemen in dreams represent help and guidance. In your dream, they are trying to disarm or capture the shooter in your dream. I am wondering if this might be connected to a tendency to self destruct, or to prevent a self sabotaging. The shooter, is appearing to be shooting indiscriminately, killing off everything rather then being selective. In life, do you have a tendency, to go to extremes to try to correct things in your life that you are unhappy with. An all or nothing approach?

Policemen being around, would indicate, that your higher self or inner guidance is trying to minimize this. In life, we are non of us black or white, but lots of different shades in between. Some things we see as being negative, are only so in certain contexts. Taking a quality that maybe has gotten you hurt, is no reason to get rid of it altogether. Every facet of our nature has its positive side not just a negative one. Only you know Dee, if this is meaningful to you, but something for you to think about!

When you noticed the detective stood beside you, you say it took a minute to register what he said to you. Can you remember what that was? You took the shot at the man, hitting him dead centre of his forehead. This is where the Inner Eye or Third Eye is. As you know Dee, the third eye, the brow chakra is a very powerful and important symbol. The "third eye" is referred to as the spiritual eye, the intuitive eye, or the eye of the soul. It is associated with the brow chakra (or Ajna chakra) which facilitates intuition and extra sensory perception. In christian beliefs The eye here represents the omni-present spirit of God peering into the soul of the faithful ever watchful over those who serve.

In your dream, you shoot this area, you kill it. In your waking life, have you felt there is a conflict between your religious beliefs and your spiritual esoteric beliefs, in which you have been exploring your intuitive abilities. Is there a part of you, that feels in some way by doing this, you have been disloyal to your faith, or that there is something wrong and feel the need to suppress, even get rid of this sensitivity you have? Has anyone around you in your waking life, made you feel uncomfortable about your interests in this area?

Often we forget, that many of the beliefs we share, with regard to our spiritual growth, are not just 'new age' idea's. They are and have been an integral part of many spiritual and traditional religious beliefs over time. I sense this is a time of great spiritual growth for you Dee. You are questioning many of your beliefs and thoughts on certain things at this time. We all go through these phases, and I believe they are a very important part of our development.

I would say take your time, feed your mind and soul and take time out for yourself. Life is speeding up for you and you have so many distractions going on in your life at the moment. Keep using that strong inner guidance of yours, and try not to be influenced too much by the opinions of others. As the old saying goes. "To thine own self be true"! You know, what is right for you and what is not. You would never do anything that was not for the highest good of yourself and others. Trust in that!

This is only my interpretation of your dream Dee, as always please only take from it that which is meaningful or resonates with you and simply ignore the rest.

Love and light

Hi Clara

Its great to see you contributing your intuitive insight on the dream board! I really liked how you referred to the steep flights as possibly representing my spiritual journey or growth. I do feel like I've done a lot of growing spiritually over the past months. I also feel like I have a long journey ahead of me. I also liked what you said about me confronting fear. I do have some challenges in my life that I'm being forced to face head on and maybe that is confirmation that I will (or am in the process of) stop it dead in its tracks!

Thanks so much for your insight.

Blessings
Dee

i Kaz,

Thanks so much for providing some insight into my crazy dream. Lol I found it very interesting that you mentioned the small shops could possibly represent the opportunities or skills I may have as well as the many different faces I present to world. Its funny but both possibilities seem to apply. I've always called my self a “Jack of all trades” and right now I'm reaching out for every opportunity that presents itself to me. And then it does seem like I a woman of many faces. Even right down to my name; different groups of friends and acquaintances have a different name they call me. I also would like to...or maybe I feel like there are many different choices being made available for me. So yes I think they all very well may apply to me.

With regards to the pillars being strength and protection for me. Would they represent people put around me to protect me or like the angels who are watching or guarding over me. Or are they the inner strength that I draw on? I can also relate to the pillars protecting me from going too far down a path that's not good for me right now...because I think I'm trying to go somewhere I shouldn't!

Well the man in my dream looked like my ex husband. I think he made have even “felt” not physically) like my ex husband....if that makes sense. It could be because I've had contact with him over the past couple of months.

I think I have slowed down a lot with partying. I was at the bar at least 3 or 4 times a week and now I've slowed down to maybe once every other week. I decided that it wasn't getting me anywhere and I risking getting a DUI which would complicate my life further. Lol I've actually been working on trying to quit smoking (although it hasn't been successful as of yet) as well. So maybe it could have something to do with that. I've been working a lot and trying to get my life back in order as much as possible.

Yes, I have been doing self destructive and self sabotaging things lately. Or should I say I was up until a couple of weeks ago. I do go to extremes to correct things I'm not happy about, I've been like that since I left home at 18 yrs old.

See Kaz you say that “...taking a quality that maybe has gotten you hurt is no reason to get rid of it altogether....” well that sort of makes sense to me but it upsets me. Because right now that would have to do with my ex husband. Because of what happened between the two us I had a lot of problems happen to me, however now that I'm past the anger and hurt we are actually getting along. I'm torn about whether I want to keep talking and seeing him or if I should continue to walk away.

Yes, I remember that the detective said screamed at me (well its been a few days now so I don't remember it verbatim) “YOU have the clear shot, take the shot!” The thing about it is that I already knew I had the clear shot but it didn't occur to me to take until the detective screamed at me. Then I just sat there for a minute until it registered in my mind.

I don't think I have any conflicts between my esoteric and religious beliefs. I think right now I'm once again questioning my belief in God. Not about whether He exists but more so about if He's as powerful as they say. I been wondering if he's as compassionate as people want us to believe...things such as that. No one has made me feel uncomfortable about my sensitivity and even if they did it wouldn't cause me to suppress it because I don't worry about what others think. Now I will say that because of me being in my parents house I don't have anywhere that is private and I can't do mirrorwork, meditate or anything like that. So it might be that.

Yes, I feel like life is speeding up for me. I'm not sure if its going in the right direction but its definitely speeding towards “some” direction. I'm definitely trying to take time out for myself but it seem as if its not working. Also my trust in my self is a bit waning with all that's gone over the past couple of years in my life. Its very comforting to know that I wouldn't do anything that's not for the highest good for myself and others. Knowing that I will definitely work on trusting myself more.

Thanks so much for your insight Kaz. You have once again given me so much to meditate on.

Blessings to you!
