For the past 14 years, since i was six i have had the same dream everynight!
Its me aged six, and its pitch black around me, i can't see anything at all then all of a suddden out of the darkness comes these men, loads of them and they all look like my dad, they circle me and start to close in, they gat about 2 feet away from me and they suddenly stop, i stand there asking them what they want, the words come out, but my lips don't move. Then one of my 'dads' pulls out a gun and starts shooting at me, the bullets fly out in slow motion and i wake up just before they penetrate my body?
I think i should add that my mum left my dad when i was six and he kidknaped me a month after she left him, i was with him a week when i finally got home, the night i got home the dreams started, i never saw him again.
The nightmares stopped for a week, when i found out that he had died, then they started again, and they just won't go!
Can any one explain why i have them or what they mean?

First as per what you have named, "oncloud9" I say you are very emotional
The pitch black is like, that you were in the lonely state and you were not satisfied with your wants (not happy).Then your father arrives like a light in the form of many in with you couldn’t.
Identify him. Then the one situation came up, where your father had to protect you knowingly. That is the one among the several. You couldn’t use the opportunity where you both could have got into each other, understand to be a perfect dad & daughter. It was not like, that your father shot you from a close range but tried to wake up you try to contact you (a perfect communication gap which lacked between the both). I tell you he really loved you very much.
But when he died, there is been a guilty consciousness to you that you couldn’t get the love of a father when you had him. As you very emotional you are not able to forget it.
Solution: 1} why don’t you listen to some calm melodious songs.
2} Visit some lonely calm places get interacted with in the nature
3} make as many friends as possible
4} try to do some meditation
5} Get some pets start trying to understand there feelings & needs. This increases your focus & observation
6} Try enjoying your life as much possible
7} visit some holy places

First, give my sympathy to you for the ordeal you went through and the suffering it still causes! Just being kidnapped can trigger "post-traumatic stress"...a syndrome involving recurring nightmares and other fears or behaviors. You need to get help...now! (where is your mum in all now? Why hasn't your guardian gotten help for you?).

The circumstances of your being kidnapped by him and the dream itself (the symbols), lead me to believe that he probably hurt you, molested you in some way, or at least TRIED to and you are repressing it. He sounds like an awful person and that the nightmares stopped for awhile when you found he was dead, indicate a temporary relief of your fear.

The guns are obviously phallic (penis-like) symbols.Guns can also symbolize a person's intent to hurt you, in a number of ways, as well as danger and death. Your words sound like an attempt to defend yourself, which might really have happened. The bullets might symbolize actual contact (whether penetration or not), but the fact that they stop COULD mean he never molested you fully.
The presence of the other men could mean that there actually WERE other men involved (this does happen), or that you see all or most adult men as sexual predators. Why WOULDN'T you after something like that?

The persistence of this dream means that something very traumatizing...even just the kidnapping...happened, even if you were not actually hurt. You are are still afraid, so this isn't over for you. You are traumatized and need help! This is not going to go away by itself. You need to work through your fears and anger...and realize that he can't hurt you anymore.

A good therapist who specializes in working with teens and children, as well as in instances of child abduction and abuse.
Your school's counselor should be able to direct you to a therapist and maybe hook you up with a mentor program, to guide you into a more positive life.

Normally I'd say that your dreams could mean anything, but since they started after a traumatic event in your life concerning your Dad, I'm sure it means that your still afraid of his coming from out of the dark a molesting you again!
Thes...., is right you do seem to have a post-traumatic disorder and you should seek medical attention from a therapist or at least your Doctor right away! It will not go away until you do.

Good luck!

I can't interpret your dream, but perhaps I can offer a suggestion to you which might serve as being benficial enabling you to work with this in a way helping you to connect with the answers you are seeking relative to the information contained in your dream. Assuming that the elements of the dream are but a symbols of particular facets of your subconscience attempting to communicate something to you. In other words, all parts of your dream are projections of yourself. That being said, try comminucating the dream using a suggested format in which you the dreamer are now the parts of the dream. For example. I am pitch blackness. I am eyes which cannot see through the blackness. I am men with guns. I am the gun. I am bullets moving in slow motion. What kind of gun are you, are you a shiny black revolver? I am sudden movement... etc. I am words that can't be spoken through paralysed lips. I am lips that cannot move. I know this sounds wierd and perhaps a little unorthadox. Oh well. Try it and see what happens. Or not. It's up to you.

maybe your dad tried to hurt you in some way that you do not remember. Sometimes having something traumatic happen in your life causes...PTSD.(post traumatic stress disorder.) these things can cause reaccuring nightmares. plus, there could a part of the time when your dad took you that your brain has just blocked it...sometimes things were so bad that you refuse to remember what happen. thinking about having the dream before you go to bed is not good. try to let go of your negative feelings for your dad. i know that you have some in there. once the feelings go away, then maybe the dreams will stop...or happen less often.

it sounds like you are having a dream that is saying that you built up hope of seeing your dad when you were younger, but when you did see him, it wasn't like you imagined, he just hurt you emotionally. It was a difficult ordeal to go through as a young child so perhaps this is why you constantly dream about it.
This is just the way i interpreted your dream but you could always go and speak to a psychologist or someone who can help professionally.

I would interpret it to mean that someone you love and trust betrays you. You need to find a way to deal with your feelings of being left and abandoned by your dad. It's too bad he's passed away, but you can still find a way to put it behind you. You can try writing him a letter and then burning it.

I would think it just means that you are overwhelmingly threatened by him. For one thing he has you vastly outnumbered in your dream. Also, it seems as though he was a threat but not able to get close enough and the attack that he administers (the gun) doesn't actually get to you in time. Therefore meaning that he is dangerous to you or was dangerous to you but wasn't able to do anything about it. maybe. hope that helps.
