I had the weirdest dream of my life last night...any ideas?!?

Question

It was in my hometown (of this I was sure), although nothing in the urban landscape was familiar- I just knew.

With a gang of other men I had escaped from a prison and was on the run from the guards through the town, I believe we were trying to make our way to a ship at the docks (although where I live is inland).

Most bizarrely I had had my throat cut, but was still alive and fully mobile; strangely the wound was vertical rather than horizontal. I remember having to try and keep my head still as we scrabbled to safety, otherwise the wound would open and I'd start bleeding heavily. This happened a few times and I nearly fainted but always recovered in the nick of time; the wound simply rehealed as long as I didn't move my head.

None of my accomplices seemed to want to help; the overall mood of the other men was jovial, as if we were already free- I was the same in between injuries, which seems odd.

The dream ended abruptly there...any interpretations?!

Like I said, apart from my injury everything else about the dream was quite jovial; the wealther was nice, and we were running but at an almost carefree pace withthe guards far behind. The only thing was I had to try not to talk or otherwise move my head.

Weird eh?!

Answer 1

You want to escape your current situation, or perhaps something in your past--you feel it's your hometown, but not your *real* hometown--the place you feel safe in, not necessarily the place you actually grew up. Getting to the "ship"--sailing away--escape again. You know your hometown was inland, but you want to get away...symbolized by leaving the country/continent behind and setting out to sea: new adventures.
You're running away with a group, and they feel carefree about it--this may represent your friends, people you would LIKE to get away with, or new friends you'd like to make. There's a lot in this dream about the desire for change, for "making a clean break" and starting over. You know you could do this, but the vertical wound in your throat is telling you that you'd have a messy situation on your hands if you did so. Not life-threatening, it self-heals, but ONLY if you don't move your head--as long as you don't "move around too much." Your subconscious "mr nice guy" is saying, "stay put, it's too much mess to make these changes." You know some people will say that if you do this or that "you'll be cutting your own throat". So you *want* the change, the escape, but you're afraid you'll be causing bigger problems than you've already got. The guards chasing you are the people and situations in your life you know would try to drag you back to "prison" if you did make the break for freedom.
Sounds like you have some issues you need to work through and some decisions to make.

Answer 2

There are those that say all the characters in dreams are actually aspects of you. And these emotional and dramatic dreams are because of unresolved issues.

Think about the most important part of the dream?
Think about your initial feeling about the dream (how you felt) as you woke up?
Dose it relate in any way to your circumstances or relate to past circumstances?

Running away looks important
Prison looks important
The cut and your ability to control it.
Fainting and your ability to beat it.
The fact that although there were people around they didn't help. And remember those accomplices could also be you.

No one can interpret this apart from you in reality.

Answer 3

My interpretation of this dream that in social situations, there may come a time when you simply need to stay quiet and go with the flow.

Maybe you need to step back and reassess how you handle social situations that involve group cooperation. I think you're being told to stop controlling things and just go with whatever is happening.
The hometown aspect tells me that this situation could crop up in a group or social situation that you are comfortable with and where you would not usually keep your opinion to yourself.

Answer 4

According to the activation-synthesis theory of dreams, the dream probably has no meaning at all. (Sorry, that may not be what you wanted to hear.)

Although dreams are influenced by our thoughts throughout the course of the day, this does not mean they are special messages to us that we should carefully consider.

Here's one perspective:

"Activation Synthesis Theory is a neurobiological theory of dreams, put forward by James Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley in 1977, which states that dreams are a random event caused by firing of neurons in the brain. This random firing sends signals to the body's motor systems, but because of a paralysis that occurs during REM sleep, the brain is faced with a paradox. It synthesizes a narrative by drawing on memory systems in an attempt to make sense of what it has experienced."

Answer 5

Dreams are often weird, at least mine are. But what I think is the weirdest part is how plausible they seem while your in it.

I believe most dreams don't have an interpretation, so I find it best not to worry. Once I told a dream to someone else, it suddenly seems silly, and irrelevant.
I'm sure your not weird.

When you dream and find yourself in a village, it mean three things
(1) Sign of retrogression (2) Your virtue is in that village (that maybe someone has tampered with it when you are smalll.
(3) You said you escaped from a prison it means freedom from satanic attack. But those other four gangs are the people you are moving with, meaning unfriendly friends, so be careful with them and they are ahppy about your downfall.
For the cut in the throat, be careful of accident

I dont know.But u should pray to GOD in heaven who reveals dreams.

Start by first having a relationship with him.

GOD loves u so much that he sent his son JESUS to die for u to reconcile u back.

John 3:16 says "For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoso ever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life".Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with his blood.

With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.
