Murder Murderer Murdered

Each of us are implicated in killing – by denying, repressing, controlling – some part of our own nature. These denied areas of your own sensitivity or potential can fortunately be resurrected through self awareness of your deed. If you flee from a murderer, it depicts a fear that is threatening your confidence or something you feel threatened by.

Murderous rage in dreamer: It is observable that repressed sexuality or traumatised childhood love leads to feelings of murderous rage which may not be expressed socially, but do appear in dreams; may also express childhood anger linked with emotional bond with mother being damaged. In this case the dreamer will be the murderer – even if in the dream the murderer appears to be someone else. The murder will then be the killing of any love or emotional connection or bond between child and parent. The child often thus murders its own feelings of love for the parent in order to survive apparent or real desertion – as for instance a child being put in foster care. The bonds are so instinctive and strong; to survive parting the child may have to hack away any emotional links.

Freud says, “Has different ‘moral standards’. In dreams we rape, pillage, murder and adventurously act in ways we would resist with horror in waking life.”

Example: I still denied that I wanted to mutilate or destroy my sister. Impossible. I had no such evil in me.  When at length I did admit the evil in me, it was with outrage: of what therapeutic use could it be to discover that I had wanted to destroy, murder, my sister – at a time when I could scarcely think? Freud has this interesting comment to make: ‘A child is absolutely egotistical: he feels his wants acutely, and strives remorselessly to satisfy them, especially against his competitors, other children, and first of all against his brothers and sisters. And yet we do not on that account call a child ‘wicked’ – we call him ‘naughty’.

Example: It was something like a semi detached and sited on a slope. I was outdoors and I think felt or knew that we had just taken over this house. But I felt uneasy as if something from the past was linked with it.

Then I was at the back of the house, on the part sloping down from the back wall of the house. I noticed things covering what turned out to be a big hole dug against the back wall, deep into the soil. This was where I felt most ill at ease about the place.  The hole had been covered with bits of board and other odd pieces of junk. I lifted these at the left of the hole and looked in. Sticking out from the side of the hole, about three feet down was the dead body of a young man. I could see the back of his skull had been smashed in. But although he had obviously been under the soil for some time, and had now been uncovered, the body was still in good condition, being slightly dried out or mummified.

I felt really guilty and connected with the body, as if I had been part of his murder, and was wondering frantically what I could do to hide or get rid of the body. Part of the problem was that pulling it out risked being seen with it.

In ‘being’ the body in the dream the man said, “But it wasn’t until I got into the role of the dead body that any depth of feelings emerged.  Almost as soon as I was in the role of the dead body I began to think about and feel things connected with the way I had killed my sexuality as a teenager.  Gradually these feelings deepened and I was describing my feeling hatred in regard to sexuality and how the masses were pulled along by their genitals into some sort of conformity and performance.  I felt anger and loathing for what I felt at the time were the cattle human beings were. At the time I despised and hated them. I also felt repugnance at the way people talked about sex or appeared to enjoy it.  It has to be understood that in that period in history in the UK, most of sex was depicted in terms of smut, dirt, animal desire, hidden pornography, or loveless fucking. I wept deeply, at times hardly able to breathe, with the pain of seeing what I had done to myself.  I said sorry over and over.  I saw that I need not have killed my love and sexuality, but could have expressed it in a tender and loving way.

Killing: Repressing or stopping some aspect of oneself – as when we kill our love for someone.

Where the dreamer imagines the death of a beloved relative: Freud believed this was because rivalry and hatred between brothers and sisters was deep rooted though unconscious and, in adult life, concealed by apparent warm affection. One reason for this, he suggested, was that for the child the idea of death meant no more than being ‘gone’: to wish another dead, in early childhood, is simply a way of wishing him removed from the scene. There are however other reasons. In moving toward independence we may find it difficult to establish our own decision making and feeling responses because our parents are so deeply engraved into our ways of behaving. In order to make a break from this we often kill them off in our dreams in one way or another. See: the section of father under archetypes, especially the part of killing father or burying father.

 Example: I know what this is about — waiting for that impulse. I’ve created two golden ceremonial knives. I’ve got to cut my way out of the membrane. . It’s my flesh, as I strike out I feel it stabbing, it’s like someone is hacking their way in (hacking movements). I’ve done it, I’ve got it – crying gasping. I killed him – then I severed the arteries. I killed them. I cut the life blood. Then locked myself away never got up again – collapse’s – I got knocked down. I killed them. . (Guilt). The anger came from deep in the soul. I killed them so I could survive. M. went mad; alcoholic brag artist, my dad. That’s my guilty secret, I’m a murderer, killed them from within like a cancer. Undermined them all the time. They’ll be sorry – most of them are, but I’m wonderful, because I am a murderer. I killed to survive. Law of the jungle. All this shit about suffer the little children unto me. . Paradox I died to survive the matador. Comes’ into the ring crippled. Buddhist Mafia – protection money.

Useful Questions and Hints:

Is the body about in the dream?

Do I feel involved and if so in what way?

Can I identify with the murder or the body?

I just woke up from a terrifying dream..
It seemed very real!
There was someone from a big corporation looking for our family. Came to our home, blew up the doors, raped my mother and held a gun to my head.
I had previously placed my younger sister in a downstairs washroom to hide.
I’m unsure of my fathers whereabouts at that time.
The people left but stated they would be back in 24 hours, wanted money but would kill someone regardless.
We came to the conclusion that I was the one that would be murdered. I’m scrambling trying to decide on a plan to save everyone and my parents say ” I just need to accept it.” So I do. I realize that if my dying saves the rest of my family I’m okay with that..
We all hug and cry and that’s when I woke up. Heart racing, sweating, feeling very scared.

    Dear AJ – What I see in your dream – and please explore it yourself as well http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/dream-yoga/ – is that you are reliving a very upsetting situation and that you had decided to remember this part of you by placing your younger sister – a symbol for your vulnerable emotions – into a washroom, so that past hurts and tensions can be “washed clean” and healed.
    See also http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/nightmare-2/
    Your dream shows how “a force” that you perceive as “big” – which could in the now also refer to your inner urge to remember, so inner obstacles need to be “blown away” first – is forcefully ignoring inner boundaries and disregarding the personal needs and feelings of your mother.
    You are unsure of your father’s whereabouts at that time.
    Wanting money indicates how “someone has got to pay for it”, and I feel it is about you making up your mind how to deal with it. Either “your parents pay” and this way the loving, inner picture you had created of your parents will “die” or you pay by denying/repressing it and so you temporarily kill a part of yourself and this way the inner picture of your parents will survive. Temporarily because this killed part of yourself can be brought back to life, remembered, digested, integrated and/or released.

    I believe that the hugging and crying expresses the wonderful love and care you feel for your INNER family and that “killing you” is a painful decision the three of you agreed upon.

I had a very disturbing and confusing dream last night. I was at a very old house which stayed in the middle of nothing. There lived 2 boys, 2 girls, all teens.. and a women who was their mother and a very ugly old lady. All complete strangers to me, the only other person that I knew their was my older sister. Every where I was in the house I felt a strong evil presence. The old lady walked in the house with gifts for everyone. All got decent gifts except for me.. She got me an old candy, and when she gave it to me she threw it at me without even looking. Later one of the boys started wearing girl clothes and us girls were talking about, when all of a sudden we heard a noise outside. I grabbed my sisters hand and started telling her that no harm would come to her, but she started talking about how her elbow hurt and seemed to not care or listen to what I was saying. I got up from the floor and sat on the sofa, and then one of the boys walked in the room and my sister became hypnotized and walked outside in the pure dark. I started freaking out and looked at the others for help but one by one they too got hypnotized. I was waiting for my turn to get hypnotized, but it never happened.. They were all doing strange things and so I decided to lye on the floor and fall asleep, because I was terrified of the way they were acting and looking at me and was to scared to sleep upstairs by myself. When I closed my eyes and opened them, it was already day and everyone went back to normal. They all acted as if they had a good night sleep and like nothing strange had happened. I walked outside for some air and I found my dad (whom I love so dearly) and he was talking to someone about the family I was staying with. And he said to the other guy that he knew the father and that he was a drug addict. In hearing this I was scared but then my dad just disappeared. I so desperately wanted and needed him to help me and my sister out. When I was walking back to the house I saw the father and he had a beer bottle in one hand. I wanted to rush inside but then I saw a stranger walking in his direction and the man said to him “You need to change your life! get it together!” And the drunk man said “Pray for me then.” So the man did and the drunk man pulled out a gun and put it in his mouth, and the man praying took it from his hands and shot it at the drunk fathers foot. The father seemed to not even care and limped home crying. My heart sank at that moment, and the man yelled out to the drunk father “You deserve it.” And walked away. I was on my way into the house to tell everyone what I had seen. But they seemed to have seen it also, the two boys walked outside the house with ropes and a deadly glare. The rest seemed to not care. And right then I knew, they were going to kill their father. So i ran, but I ran towards the father… Who grew creepier by the minute, when I reached him he was no more. And the two boys with the ropes started walking towards me, I started running away not understanding the sudden change of victims. And they grabbed their motorcycles and started smiling while riding after me. That’s when I saw high steps (not stairs) ran up them and jumped but as high as I could, But when i jumped I didn’t fall nor fly, I floated instead.. And with all my might I tried to fly away, but didn’t move much. When they approached me I woke up. I am not sure what to think of such a dream, I do truly love my dad, and my sister is in a ship at the moment. So I can’t quit connect the dots, can you P LEASE help me!

hi…plz help me to interpret the dream, this is what I dreamed :
I killed my father. Later I was thinking how to get away with this as detectives who are trying to find the killer. My mother knows all this n she is helping me emotionally. Later detectives come over and arrest me, my mother n my brother. But they r just investigating n later they release us. Now while going back to home…I saw ghost of my dad. The ghost had only one leg and eyes closed but opened eyes at last when I was going away from the ghost. I live in a very big fancy house. Later me n mom r talkin about which home to go ? the big fancy one or the old one ? We decide to go to the big fancy house n remove any proofs that may prove that I killed my dad. also we are not talking much because we think that the detectives might have installed hidden cameras n mikes on us or in the house.

very horrifing dream. woke up middle of the dream, still scared. In real life I hate my dad very much n lot of anger towards him. but me n my mom just moved to different city after years of emotional abuse by him. we abandoned him and now atleast we are better but not very good.

    Dear Himanshu – Your dream starts with killing your father, which can be understood as a release of the anger you feel and the need to let go of the ways he still influences your inner world.
    To be free of the introverted restraints and ready-made values gathered from our parents, at some time in our growth we may kill or bury them in our dreams. Although some people are shocked by such dreams, they are healthy signs of emerging independence.
    I like you to understand that this is about your “inner father”.
    Many people do not realise that they have an inner father equally as powerful as an external father. You have taken in millions of bit of memory, lessons learnt, life experiences along with all the feelings or problems met by loving and living with your father, and they are what makes you the person you are. This is true even if your father was never there for you – you still have all the memories of him not being there for you filed under ‘Father’. The memories and experience we gather unconsciously change us and are not lost. It is part of you and is symbolised in dreams as a person or event. Such an inner father can appear in dreams because you are still deeply influenced by what you hold within you.
    The detectives in your dream could reflect your feelings of guilt over your guilt of having murdered your father in your dream.
    So although you make the right choices toward releasing anger in your dream and becoming more independent, you feel guilty about them.
    Making the victim feel guilty is often part of emotional abuse in waking life and so ask yourself if you need help in dealing with these feelings.
    See also http://dreamhawk.com/forums/index.php
    Being arrested reflects these moments that you restrain yourself from releasing your feelings, but it also reflects the moments of investigating your inner world and your past which enables you to release more.
    Do remember that it is a process and it needs you being gentle with yourself and patient.
    The ghost in your dream I see as a symbol of your past traumas, which make it difficult at the moment to stand up for yourself; “The ghost had only one leg.”
    The ghost opening up its eyes is a symbol of your willingness to become more aware of the influences of your past and how it still affects you in this moment.
    It is only with awareness that you can transform things.
    It will take more dreams Himanshu and a lot of inner work to heal your past; trust that you CAN do it and that your dreams can help you with this process too.

I had a dream that I was in someone’s house and exploring. Their house was mazelike, and I saw the child who lived there and a bunch of farm animals (sheep, goat, pig) with the same name as her. I knew the child; she was a girl who used to be my sister’s friend but her abusive mother banned her from being friends with my sister. I know she is being hit by her mom. Her family in the dream was loving and they were devastated when she was killed later on. I didn’t see the murderer. I didn’t see her die. All I saw was a trail of blood and I fled the house before I could see the body. I left behind my shoes and purse. I remember wanting to go back and retrieve them but also not wanting to go near the house again. When I got on the bus that was waiting outside the farm animals were there, as well as my mom. Shortly after I saw a man being stabbed by hundreds of knives while a monster that looked like a girl (not the girl who was murdered) watched. There was lots of blood. This worries me because I’ve never seen blood in my dreams before, let alone this much. I’ve also never dreamt of murder before. I was a victim of child abuse, only recently moving out of the abusive home, so maybe the girl represents my past and that I need to let it go. And wanting to go back and retrieve the things I left behind while simultaneously not wanting to go back to the house means I’m finding it hard to move on because a part of me is clinging to my old life. I don’t know the man being stabbed. I guess it would be too easy if he were my father. The farm animals confuse me as well.

    -Anna - Tony's Assistant 2015-07-28 9:34:04

    Dear Anonymous – You seem to have a good understanding of your inner world and what arises from it.
    It is only now that you moved out of the abusive home that you can start to process (in your dreams) what is still part of your inner world.
    That is why – as I see it – symbols like blood and murder have entered your dream.
    They are all symbols of tremendous emotions that are surfacing now – like anger and pain – and it is good to release them in your dreams.
    Letting go – digesting and releasing – of your past is a process and so please be kind and patient with yourself and your healing process.
    The child that is killed represents your inner child and all I can say to you at this stage of your inner journey is “trust that she can be brought back to life again”.
    See http://dreamhawk.com/health-and-healing/inner-baby-and-child/
    You wrote “I’m finding it hard to move on because a part of me is clinging to my old life”. It is true that most of us perceive it as difficult to journey into an unknown future and that we rather return to what we know or believe about ourselves; even when it is not true and did not make us happy.
    This “in between stage” that you find yourself in – no bag and no shoes – I see as an important stage of your inner journey too and so allow yourself to feel what life is like without “having an identity” and then take your time to slowly build a new one.
    The man being stabbed I see as not only reflecting the release of feelings toward your father, but also at this point of your life toward any man, because we tend to project our unresolved issues with our father onto other men too.
    See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/archetype-of-the-animus-jungs-view-of-the-male-in-the-female/
    I see the animals as symbols of your emotional and sexual urges and drives that you ARE able to heal, release and/or transform and so you took them with you.
    See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/archetype-of-the-animal/
    Last but not least you wrote “I had a dream that I was in someone’s house and exploring. Their house was maze like.”
    A maze can be a symbol of confusion of ideas and feelings, conflicting urges and opinions and the difficulty in finding your way through the mass of apparently irrational emotions and images arising from within.
    This area of self is sometimes an area of seeming chaos. It needs some other level of yourself, the intuitive faculty, in relationship with the rational mind, to guide you through. Sometimes you need to admit you are lost and need help.
    If that is the way you feel about the process you entered, then do feel welcome to join the Forum and allow Tony to help you.

I’ve had the same dream twice now it’s a bad omen I think. I recently purchased a truck to take a roadtrip across the country with my family. In the dream I get into the truck but notice a terrible smell and realize that my husband had killed somebody and had wrapped their corpse in the carpeting and hidden it in the back seat of the truck. The smell is terrible and I tell my husband we have to get rid of the body. He doesn’t want to bury the body in the ground–we’re in the desert, and he says it’s so isolated that nobody will find it and the heat will dry out the smell. So we just leave this half rotted corpse in the sand in the heat. For some reason I insist that we clean the truck carpeting that the corpse was wrapped in and put them back in the truck…but the truck still reeks of rotting flesh. Should this dream concern me for taking our real life road trip in this old truck? It’s got me worried!

    -Anna - Tony's Assistant 2015-06-23 8:27:03

    Dear Genevieve – The dream mainly recurred because you have not sufficiently dealt yet with what is expressed in the dream.

    A truck in a dream indicates drives such as ambition, what motivates one – but usually your abilities, confidence and energy in connection with practical work, or getting things done in the outer world. It can be the inner qualities or strengths that support your outer activities with your family.
    Sharing a journey with your family means that you will be close for a while with your family and I believe that your dream expresses that there are some undealt unpleasant emotions that stand in your way.
    Your husband in your dream could be a symbol of how you relate to intimacy in body, mind and spirit.
    A corpse in a dream can be a symbol of feelings – sympathy or forgiveness – or actions you have denied; deadened. For instance you might kill your love for someone if they hurt you. This could be shown as a dead body in your dreams.
    In your dream you explore two approaches.
    The approach your husband uses in your dream is to release the unpleasant feelings using heat, which I see in this dream as a symbol of not interfering with the healing and transformative process.
    The method your dream figure uses in the dream to let go of unpleasant emotions does not work that well, for the stink is still there.
    See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/digest/
    and
    http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/forgiveness-as-a-power-source/
    I feel it will be helpful to go back in your dream and explore your feelings; also toward your husband the way he appears in your dream.
    If we take away the images and events occurring in a dream and simply look to see what feelings or emotions are evident, the dream is often more understandable than if we try to interpret the symbols. Feelings in dreams are nearly always undistorted. We therefore do not need to interpret them, simply to recognise them and see if we can recognise where they occur in waking life.
    See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/emotions-and-mood-in-dreams/
    Other ways to explore your dream are expressed here:

My sister in law has been having the same dream for a very long time. She dreams that she kills everyone she comes in contact with and burys them in her yard or in the woods behind her house. Her boyfriends even says she acts the killings out in her sleep, where he wakes up cause she’s stabbing him. When she gets up in the morning she feels physical and emotionally drained. How can she make this stop?

    -Anna - Tony's Assistant 2015-06-04 15:15:50

    Dear Ginger – I prefer to address this comment to your sister in law, because it is about her dreams:
    Your dreams recur because there are ways you habitually respond to your internal and external world. Because your attitude or response is unchanging the dream that reflects it remains the same. It is noticeable in those who explore their dreams using such techniques as described under processing dreams, that recurring themes disappear or change because the attitudes or habitual anxieties that gave rise to them have been met or transformed.
    See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/processing-dreams/
    So this approach – processing dreams – could be a way to stop these dreams or change them.
    When we repress, deny and control parts of our inner world it is a tremendous cost to our energy and unblocking the repressed feelings releases energy and clears the mind.
    A way to undo inner blocks and allow the Life energy to flow again is expressed in a book which is called Life’s Little Secrets and it is also published on the website:

Hi

my wife has dreamt someone is chasing her to kill and her younger sister has seen the same (her sister is murdered) in dream. Could you please explain why

Thanks

-Paulina 2015-01-17 2:22:38

Hello everyone
last night i dreamed about me, being a massive murderer who killed anyone like a madman. The first person i killed was my aunt in my grandfather’s house. ( But in real life, i have a good relationship with her.). After I finished her and brought my half-knee length black combat book on my hand, someone chased me. So I ran away and climbed a small building.(I didn’t put my boots on, but I wore a pair of socks with my school’s emblem on both side). At the roof, I looked down and found that the person who chased after me has gone. So i put my boots on.(Well after that I kinda take a look on my attire and found that I was wearing white shorts with white sleeveless T shirt and a pair of black combat boots. The weird thing is: after I killed my aunt, I didn’t find any blood stain on my shirt nor my hand. I also didn’t find any weapon I used before. But I killed her bare handedly)

When I stepped up to another roof, I sense a presence behind me and I kicked the man behind me. I turned around and found that the man was the same person who chased after me before. Feeling a grudge toward him, I kicked him hard and he fell to the ground. And he died.
Seeing that man died, I grinned. A psychotic grin.

I didn’t wipe out the town alone. I was doing it with 3 or 4 friends. So we looked like a bunch of psychopath or something.

But in that dream, even though I have killed many people, I felt no emotion like sadness, guilt, or angry. Well sometimes i felt a little spark of joy like these all of murder things were a part of a game.

And after almost all the town’s sane citizen have been killed by us (the psycho amigos), we went to an abandoned building and met several people who were a murderer group, just like us. So we asked to join in. Soon after that, we created a murderer organization and many other groups joined in.

Later, I felt a curiosity over a man and started to stalk him (cause I thought that the man was suspicious and a danger to the organization). And I also asked a closed friend to stalk him with me.

After several times, he walked to a dead end alley and turned around to face us. I walked to him and questioned him about his role or nasty job that can bring danger to the organization. But he just smirked and told nothing. My friend, who stay closed near me, pointed a shotgun to him. I shouted to him to answer me. But he still smirked and that made me wanna punched his smug face. Then my friend shot near his head, just to warned him. After that he pulled out his gun from his pocket and he also pointed his gun to my friend. Then they shot at the same time, but he was faster than my friend and my friend has been killed by him.

I caught my friend and put his head on my lap. And I cried. I hugged his bloodstained upper body and cried more. Then I felt angry. I turned my head and glared to the man who killed my friend. Well, he just standing there and smirked.

After that, 5 or 6 people from the organization came. They discussed and stand behind me. After my emotion back to normal, I carried my friend and walked slowly to the crowds. I was questioned by some people about my job in what division in the organization. (I forgot what my job’s name. But I worked in the investigation division). Then the man who killed my friend passed by and I glared him. He just walked away and after that I woke up from this bizzare dream…

Hi everyone
i had a disturbing dream last night about being kidnapped by a serial killer but escaping out of a window but being terrified he would find me. It was a visually and emotionally disturbing. And yes there was a mother being killed at some stage which now I can read here an idea about that.
I was pleasantly suprised to find so may others have murder dreams its very normalising thanks all for sharing.
I like Tony how you describe a childs view of wanting someone to be dead quite innocently as they associate it with being gone it is important these things are ackowledged and understood by adults! It also sprang to mind what i have heard about people who are close to others with a chronic illness having thoughts that they wished were dead but that it is not that they want to be gone but just they want the illness to be gone.
I think its great as you do on this website Tony to open up these taboo subjects that inevitbely play out in our dreams.

      last night i had this weird dream where i killed my own sister (I DON’T HAVE A SISTER in real life) over a heated argument chopped her into pieces and threw her in a gutter. then in the guilt of killing her and my father getting angry and not believing me i later shot myself dead.
      can you please explain this dream to me?

        Dear Sam – You do not need to have a sister in real life to create a dream sister while you are sleeping.
        Your dream sister is probably an aspect of yourself or your shadow that you have killed.
        See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/the-archetype-of-the-shadow/
        In other words it could mean that a relationship (with your father?) went wrong for you and you killed out some of your feelings (for him?); we can kill out our feelings to protect ourselves but also as a means to punish someone.
        Because suicide can be a symbol of interiorised anger (too), I feel it will be helpful if you explore this dream and its symbols yourself and rather than repressing your anger, try to release it.
        Whether you show or repress anger in dreams it is important. This is because like any other basic or instinctive response, anger uses tremendous resources of emotional and physical energy. The repression of emotional energy can be a key factor in the breakdown of health, and in the lack of positive and creative self-expression. Blocked emotional energy tends to attack your sense of wellbeing and body if it is stopped from external expression.

        Power Dreaming is a helpful tool to explore your dream while awake.
        Your dreams are a unique area of self-expression. They are a safe area to experiment and experience things in any way you wish. Often we introvert, or take into our dream life, rules and fears that have no place there.

        Good Luck!

This is the second time ive had this drwam except this time it was a dream in a dream.

It starts off me driving my little brother and his friends around. We start getting chased by this cheetah like creature as were driving away this thick fog starts surrounding us so thick we cant see anything around us. As we are speeding away we end up in this dead end. The fog lifts and this house is open. All four of us go in. Inside there is this guy upstairs. My brother goes up to him and the guy grabs his belt and chokes him to death dragging him in his room. Then my brothers friends run up there and the guy kills them too. Then the guys cones down and smashes my face in. I crawl away choking on my blood. I then wake up in another dream choking on a bloody nose my uncle rushes to me to help me out. He finally gets it to stop. And then i finally really wake up. This dream has been bothering me alot lately especially since my little brother died a couple months ago in a motorcycle accident. And thats when this dream started.

I was having lunch with some friends who are a couple, (I have known them since I was a teenager) & their daughter who is three years old.
At some point they took their daughter somewhere, some kind of babysitter and then returned.
Suddenly I was standing over their dead bodies with an axe, I knew I had killed them, I had an accomplice,( though I’m not sure who it was) help me put the bodies in a refrigerated truck then drive to an abbotoire where we disposed of them by making them appear as meat ( sausages etc). While I was packing the evidence into a freezer the police arrived, and I was filled with such a sense of dred that I had been caught and would never see my children again, then I woke up. Although I was the killer in the dream it felt like I was someone else and i saw myself as some one I did not recognise.
I felt really panicked by the dream as I rarely remember my dreams but often get some small déjà vu on occasions, also I have not been in contact with these friends for over 12 months.
