22 Feb 2005 Dreams of War, Death, Loneliness and Friends

I had a dream the other night.

I dreamt that I was in a war, stuck behind enemy line in a sand-dug trench with my comrads. The enemy was japanese men dressed in World War 1 Nazi uniforms and they each had rocket launchers that had a delayed explosion on them. Fortunately I had one of these rocket launchers too. I was totally whupping their asses! Then one of them got a lucky shot and it was about to go off. To save the rest of the squad I sacrificed myself and smothered the rocket with my body.

I then woke up in a fairly modern shopping center-type place. I knew what I had done. I knew I was dead. I started to feel sad. Then my ex-girlfriend phones me on my mobile phone. I start babbling to her saying things like "I'm so glad to hear from you", "I'm dead", "I'm alone and afraid", etc etc. The thing is I know that my ex is dead too (even though she is alive and well in real life) so I figured she had to be here in this shopping-center-type place somewhere. So I start looking for her.

During the search I start getting all scared, emotional and sad, about being dead and alone and everything. Then out of the blue I see my old mate, Phil, who in this instance has his long hair, even though he cut his hair a few years ago in real life. I run to him and start babbling about how I'm glad to see someone I know and that I was so alone, etc. I ask Phil if he want to join me in find other people I know and he agrees. Later on we both find Phil, except this is Phil with his current short hair. So there's old long-hair Phil standing next to new short-hair Phil. At the same time.

Then I was suddenly outside the shopping center (you know, that good old transaction process that seems to happen instantly for no reason) on my own one again. The surroundings are quite industrial looking, though by no means dirty or evil looking. After a little exploring I see my other friend Si. He walking with his mates and he doesn't notice me. I start running and shouting at him to get him to notice me.

Then I wake up for real.


Intregued by this I went to Dream Moods.com for a possible solution:

• Nazi - To see a Nazi in your dream, represents a form of evil and merciless force that cannot be reasoned with. You may feel that others are putting you down.
• War - To dream of a war, signifies disorder and chaos in your personal affairs. You also be experiencing some internal conflict or emotional struggle. You are feeling torn between aspects of yourself. Perhaps the dream may indicate that you are being overly aggressive or you are not being assertive enough.
• Die - To dream that you die in your dream, symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or in your life. Although such a dreams may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm and is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually means that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes does not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something. On a negative note, to dream that you die may represent involvement in deeply painful relationships or unhealthy, destructive behaviors. You may feeling depressed or feel strangled by a situation or person in your waking life. Perhaps your mind is preoccupied with someone who is terminally ill or dying. Alternatively, you may be trying to get out of some obligation, responsibility or other situation.
• Alone - To dream that you are alone, indicates feelings of rejection. You may be feeling that no one understand you.
• Afraid - To dream that you are afraid to continue on some situation, signifies trouble in the home and failure in business.
• Ex [girlfriend] - ... Seeing your ex in your dream also signifies aspects of yourself that you have x'd out or neglected.
• Friend - To see your friends in your dream, signifies aspects of your personality that you have rejected, but are ready to integrate these rejected part of yourself. The relationships you have with those around you are important in learning about yourself. Additionally, this symbol foretells of happy tidings from them and the arrival of good news.

I haven't had a chance to properly analyse this yet. If anyone else want to have a crack at it then feel free and let me know what you think.

Hey! =) Oi, I've never analyzed a dream of mine. Simple because there's nothing really to analyze - mine are always a whole bunch of useless random stuff jammed into a few seconds... like this one time, I dreamt I was running away from evil teletubies - and I murdered them by making them drown in this jello-like green goo. *is proud*. *rolls eyes*. I really, REALLY shouldn't eat before bed. Oi.

Anyways, thanks for your comment, I fixed your link! =) Sorry about that!

Rockon.
