Last night I saw a very weird dream! Can someone explain it to me?

That you need therapy?

Seriously, that sounds like a dangerous dream to me. Why would your subconscious explore murdering your dad in your dream state?

Is your dad abusive? Controlling?

I don’t know.. I assume that he is a kinda difficult man

Are you Greek? (just curious due to your name) Russian?

Dad is the true “head of the household”?

BTW- i don’t think your dream means you want to “kill/murder” your dad…Just severe ties with him or with his hold on your life/choices. A therapist could help you learn how to deal with your situation in a healthy manner. You could read some books in place of therapy, but your violent dream signals a dire need for you to de-stress now.

I’m not a therapist but father dreams are often not about your real-life father but about some societal expectation that you feel you need to live up to. In this dream you seem to be trying to reject that expectation. Perhaps there is some direction you feel pushed in at the moment that you feel a lot of resistance to and anxiety/stress about?

I don’t know if it means anything, but in your dream were you watching yourself do it (disembodied, from a third person perspective) or was it totally primary?

From your past questions, it sounds like you’re resenting your father’s efforts to direct your life and prevent you from following your own desires. This just seems like your brain’s way of dealing with that frustration.

@Harp GREAT Catch. I should’ve remembered this kid’s name.

@dimitris You are a teen in NEED of some outside help. Please go to your school counselor and let him/her know what is going on in your household. It’s time for you to discuss your situation with the school psychologist.

yes I am greek

@dimitris Then you must have an aunt or an uncle or someone you can talk to, yes? You really need to reach out to someone to let them know how much you feel you are being controlled.

Quite frankly, your dad kicking you, a child, out of the house to sleep like a dog is abusive. You need to seek help.

@Harp Yep. That previous question pretty much answers this one! Good job.
@dimitris My husband is Greek too.

Sounds to me you were hungry.

In my experience with meditation, the mind can come up with a lot of things that seem meaningful but aren’t. I think that dreams tell us about our subconscious, which is usually a reflection of conscious awareness, but the details of a dream are generally not as helpful as the mood or symbols.

For example, if you were feeling anxious and brow-beaten during sleep, you might easily have linked those sensations with your Father. If you also decided in the dream that you needed a way to escape that sensation, you may first have decided that murder was a drastic but plausible measure. In fact, the idea to hurt someone may come up first (as a solution to a problem) during waking moments, but most people recognize that it is not and quickly abandon it for another solution. This may happen so automatically that you never recognize that the impression was there. However, in the dream world, all actions are allowed without inhibition so that initial impulse may have carried forward and resulted in the dream murder. Therefore, the dream is a reflection of what could happen if you followed all your impulses without question. But naturally, you don’t do this anyway. Everyone is always thinking about the consequences of their actions, in one way or another.

Let’s consider another way such a dream could come about. Let’s say you were dreaming about walking around your house and you thought “what’s a room in my house I can walk into?” and “kitchen” was the first thing that popped up. Random. Then you said, “what would I find in the kitchen?” and “knife” popped up. Random. “What’s another room?” and “Dad’s bedroom”. Well, now you have a knife and you’re in your Dad’s bedroom and he’s asleep. Anyone who was watching this on TV would have a general idea what happens next. If your random thoughts created such a situation, it would have been easy for the semi-rational subconscious to “finish the story” with a murder.

Finally, if you are nervous that this is a prophetic dream, I have a piece of advice for you. According to Ken Wilber and Elmer Green (researchers and publishers in the science of human consciousness, more or less), intuitive knowledge occurs with a sense of certainty. In other words, there is no question in the mind of the person who has had a prophetic dream that the dream will occur. If you have any doubt whatsoever that the dream is prophetic, there is a very high probability that it is not prophetic.

In short, I think you have nothing to worry about. Dreams can often be disturbing, but this is only because life is sometimes disturbing. If you have a lot of disturbing dreams, you might consider reading different books or taking up meditation to relax your mind before sleep.

Thanks for listening.

Dream interpretation has no scientific basis. It’s based upon theories by Jung and Freud which have not been possible to scientifically prove in any way.

So you can come up with any interpretations you like, but be aware that they are probably just random justifications.

Do you dislike your father? If you don’t this is still dangerous, like SpatzieLover had said, go see your school counselor, because He/She can help find out what going on. I’m a teen myself, but Ive had experience in knowing people that have these dreams, one of them are my cousin It’s indeed a scary thought.

Don’t be scared to tell your counselor they keep everything between the Student and themselves, unless they have evidence your going to kill yourself. And they are allowed to go to the cops if they suspect you of Committing a Crime.

Ask your counselor to go over the Writing exercise, you write what’s on your mind at that public minute, and based on the way you right they can tell if you are depressed.

I’ll tell you how you can do this yourself, but don’t try purposely writing perfect, because you will convince yourself that nothing is wrong, with out knowing if there really is. Write five sentences of a good Moment (This will cheer you up always) you have had in the past. Take your time writing to think about good core topics in your writing, after you are done look at your writing, if it is slanted and starts to go downwards as you write, something could be wrong, or it could be your writing… but you still wanna make sure it’s okay! If the writing is straight or starts slanting up, your fine, but still all this means is you are not depressed.
