PRELIMINARY EVENTS: I went to bed about 9:30 AM.
ACCOUNT
PARTICIPATING. I dreamed I was in a room [1], and at some point I was told my (waking life) father was going to shoot me. I didn't really believe that he would harm me.
Later, a stocky, tall, white man [2] came into the room and began shooting. I'm not sure who else was in the room, but he came to the back where I was crouched down on the floor. I had my right hand up to shield me as he began firing his gun. I was scared and had no idea who this man was and why he was shooting me. He fired off quite a few shots, (but I don't remember if any of them hit me).
Then he left right back out the door. I woke up.
FINAL COMMENTS
What I find interesting about this dream is that it reflects something I was told in waking life, so time after I had ran away:
I was fifteen and had ran off with this man twice my age. Months later my stepmother told me that when my father was livid about what I'd done. I'm not sure whether he was angry because I was underage, because of who the man was, or maybe because I didn't come to him. Maybe all of the above. According to my sister and fraternal grandmother, my father said he was going to shoot me.
Can you imagine that? I never did get to talk to my father about that incident. At the time I didn't really believe he would shoot me, but I did stay away from his house for a while. Just in case.
NOTES
[1] the room was okay, a little dim, but my viewpoint was a bit blurry.
[2] the gunman had light-colored hair, kind of balding, and I think he was wearing white because I remember seeing a lot of it on him. He was angry and out of control.
FINAL COMMENTS
A very realistic dream. In the dream I was so certain my father wouldn't shoot me.
INTERPRETATION
I'm not sure if this dream is pointing towards a past life event with my father. And if so, was the shooter my father in that lifetime?
GUN: What is the weapon you use to silence self or others?
SHOOTER / ATTACKER: Could be self. Who or what within self do I want to kill? Do I feel under attack? By whom?
BEING SHOT: Something I want to kill within self or around me.
FATHER: Universal: An authority figure. Protection. Personal: Something I can't get close to (because I could not get close to my father despite efforts).
