Post by: hpeanu87 on February 16, 2015, 06:30:54 PM
The people that shot them came back to kill me and i was holding them trying to protect there bodies...they end up shooting me and stabbing me. Then the time i had left that was fading i saw them shoot my children one more time. Then i died. But i told myself i didn't want to die..i had to stay alive for my children. Hoping that there still alive. But i was in a coma. While in a coma..i heard family and doctors talking about my children saying they didn't survive. Then i thought to myself why should i stay alive.

Hypeanu87 - Dear woman, you need to understand that dreams use drama to show you the dramatic nature of your emotions and anxiety. Also you need to understand that dreams take place in quite a different level of your mind than thinking. I is the ancient level where humans didn't have language and couldn't think in words, but used powerful emotions and images to express through. So please read http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/questions-2/#Summing

As you will see, your children probably are expressions not of your actual children but of your own vulnerable feelings which as a mother and woman you try to protect and are vary sensitive to.

In the world of our dreams and feelings you have often felt the horror of thinking that your children could be killed or die. Such feelings can often be like a powerful punch in the stomach, so in your dreams, which are a way of facing you with the emotions you are struggling with, you face the horror you feel death will be. In effect you have created the dream by your feelings.

The people who came back to kill you are the many thoughts and feelings that attack you again and again about the safety of your children. See http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/questions-2/#BabyKill 

Also you are slowly losing all your drive to live and fight for your children, " I thought to myself why should I stay alive." As a mother you have been influenced by remarks made by your family and so called friends. As a mother you have the ability to fight for your children and make them strong against such attacks as your dream shows you - attacks of the mind and emotions. Feed your children not with despair but with the ability to meet and deal with things. Feed them with your show of strength. O course it will mean a big change for you - but hold in mind your children.

Many years ago while I was struggling with my own anxieties I was in the bathroom fixing the light because there was a problem with it. I was standing on a chair and my children came and stared at me. I wondered why they were looking at me like that. It was only later when I relaxed that an insight literally lit up inside me. Because I wasn't living with them they wanted to see how I was. I don't think that they would have been able to put it in words, but every time I came through the front door they wanted to see how I was dealing with life. If I came in with all the cares and anxieties, they would get the message, "Life out there is awful. Dad is a strong man and life out there has knocked him about."

But if I came in the door with a smile and hugged  them they would get the message - quite without any words spoken - that life is good and an interesting thing to experience.

So the gun shots are not from metal guns, but are nevertheless devastating. They are shots that you are being put down by and can even injure your children - they are shots from your own attitudes that can injure them.
