Last night I dreamt I was a prisoner again. Lately the dreams I have are either sneaking in, held captive then trying to escape.
This time, the scene takes place in a German camp.
The timeline seemed similar to the movie "The Sound of Music"
We were in a cabin seated in a circle with Caucassian people.
Everyone was silent, looking down, gripped in fear.
A German officer walked in, told us that we were going to be executed
unless one of us pass a certain test.
He took out his gun, and handed it over to me.
Instructed me to shoot 3 people standing 'outside' the cabin through the window.
I held the gun, aimed, shot a middle aged man, woman, and a young boy.
The scary thing is, I was calm and focused.
The shock came the moment I gave the gun back to the officer
He shot my friend beside me.
and walked out.
Woke up
To dream that you are held captive suggests that you are feeling trapped in some aspect or circumstances of your waking life. You may feel trapped in your career, relationship or life in general. Alternatively, captivity dreams indicate something you are refusing to acknowledge or something that you are in denial about.
To see an officer in your dream represents your need to belong and to fit in to a larger group. Alternatively, the officer indicates your need for discipline and direction in your life. You may be seeking a higher plane for guidance.
To see a shooting in your dream indicates that you have a set goal and know what to aim for in life. Your plans are right on target!
To dream that you shoot a person with a gun denotes your aggressive feelings and hidden anger toward that particular person. If the person you shoot is a stranger, then it indicates that you are rejecting unknown aspects of yourself that you do not understand.
To dream that someone is shooting you with a gun suggests that you are experiencing some confrontation in your waking life. You may be feeling victimized in some situation.
To see a stranger in your dream signifies a part of yourself that is repressed and hidden. Alternatively, it symbolizes the archetypal dream helper who is offering you insight and advice.
To dream about the death of a loved one suggests that you are lacking a certain aspect or quality that the loved one embodies. Ask yourself what makes this person special or what you like about them. It is that very quality that you are lacking in your own relationship or circumstances. Alternatively, the dream indicates that whatever that person represents has no part in your own life anymore. In particular, to dream about the death of your parents indicates that you are undergoing a significant change in your waking life. Your relationship with your parents has evolved into a new realm.
