Scariest Dream of My Life Decoded

So last night, I had a dream. No Martin Luther King Jr. reference intended.

I was in this large pool of water, swimming mechanically towards a row of houses facing me FLOATING RIGHT BY THE WAVES OF WATER. LIKE JESUS. EXCEPT THEY'RE  A BLOCK OF INANIMATE HOUSES.

Okay, I should be much more serious.

I reached the base of a door, and I knocked - somehow exasperatedly- and soon the door swung open. A man who looked like two of my former manga senseis in one pool of DNA was the owner of the 'house', and those houses turned out to be hotel rooms! He greeted me nicely, asking what am I doing swimming over to his room, and I replied with my teeth chattering, requesting for shelter for me AND MY BROTHERS. Turns out they were right behind me the whole time, and were as cold and wet as I was. He let us in, and soon all of us dried up and thanked the guy...

AND THAT'S WHEN HE PULLED OUT AN EFFIN' JACK KNIFE OUT.

My eyes went wide, and not only because of the sight of the jack knife, but also the uncanny smile plastered across his face.

Oh crepe.

I suddenly blacked out, cause unknown. The moment I came to, I was bound tightly to a chair, the pressure of the rope lacerating my skin. The guy approached me and told me he's a DAMNED SERIAL KILLER WHILE TWIRLING HIS JACK KNIFE AROUND HIS POINTER FINGER EXCITEDLY.

That kinda reminds me of Hisoka--

THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE GOING TO GO ALL PEDO ON ME, OH HELL TO THE NO.

BY THE WAY, WHERE WERE MY BROTHERS--

Out of the blue, the door was flung open, and all the eyes in the room turned to that door--

AND FOUND MY DAD CHARGING IN.

Somehow, I was scot free and the killer was the one blacking out now. All of us hurriedly took our luggages (?) and ran away on a suddenly-conceptualizing pavement alongside the rows off houses.

Well, it IS a dream.

THEN SUDDENLY THAT THING APPEARED AGAIN.

AND HE WAS COMING AFTER ME.

AND BY ME I MEAN ME.

I decided to abandon luggage and dove inside the endless expanse of water, swimming away from him as fast as possible. Sadly, my real life performance of swimming was exhibited in this dream,so all the bobbing around and flailing my limbs around made me really slow, while the creep was torpedoing at me. He caught my right leg with his hand, and I shrieked and gave the mean guy's face a nice kick. As he's recovering from the minor damage he sustained, I quickly resumed escaping, and soon noticed an island with A GIANT SHOPPING MALL sitting neatly on it.

Did I mention this is a dream?

So, tired of being submerged, I rose up immediately and entered the mall. Huffing and puffing, I passed through shops and shops, walked through corridors and corridors, and he eventually caught up with me! He was laughing one of those maniacal laughters that really, really intimidated me, causing me to start sobbing for my life.

--Anddd I was awakeeee.

So, because I am one big idiot who believes in necromancy and all that stuff, I shall try to decipher where in the world did that fantasy sequence came fromand what the heck do all of those thingamabobs are trying to tell me.

These are taken from dreammoods.com.

Swimming
To dream that you are swimming suggests that you are exploring aspects of your subconscious mind and emotions. The dream may be a sign that you are seeking some sort of emotional support. It is a common dream image for people going through therapy. To dream that you are swimming away from someone or something indicates that you are avoiding some deep emotional issue. You are refusing to acknowledge and confront your feelings because it may be too painful or too fresh. In particular, if you are swimming away to escape danger or death, then it suggests that you are letting fear take over your actions. You are afraid of change.

My analysis:

To be really honest, I do seek emotional support. I mean, I’m socially isolated. But then I can just feel the vibe of “oh you attention seeker” all around so people actually get confused whenever I flip my head off!

Ah-hem.

Well, this guy looked like my manga teachers combined, but I swear I bear no ill wit towards any of them. Maybe it’s a whole sort of other pain. The one coming from the most recent negative events. Fear? I don’t think I feel fear towards any of my captors. More of a resentment. The last phrase though, that I am’afraid a change’, rings the bell of me moving to Australia. It is a huge change, and maybe secretly, yes, I’m a little nervous because I don’t want the cycle of i-love-you-oh-wait-you’re-mentally-retarded-buh-bye repeating all over again.

Pool
To see a pool of water in your dream indicates that you need to acknowledge and understand your feelings. It is time to dive in and deal with those emotions. Alternatively, a pool indicates your desire to be cleansed. You need to wash away the past.

Analysis:  To be really honest, I have no idea of which specific set of feelings this is leading to. My insecurities regarding the Kangaroo Land? I would love to deal with them, if I know which ones are ‘them’. So, maybe my true interpretation of this particular symbol should be the alternative, my desire to be cleansed. I do wish this a lot of times, to just turn over a new leaf so that I will not get labelled phony if I switch personalities in the middle of our relationships. Australia is my new ‘leaf’ for me, and so if I screw up there... I think the rest of my life will be a meaningless hell.

Killer

To see a killer in your dream suggests that an essential aspect of your emotions have been cut off. You feel that you are losing your identity and your individuality. Alternatively, this dream may represent purification and the healing process. You are standing up for yourself and putting a dramatic end to something.

Analysis: Identity slip? A little bit. I find it much more difficult nowadays to express myself without regretting it in the future. And putting a dramatic end to something would be me retrieving my gadgets back, dammit. I need them to fulfill my purpose.

Serial Killer
To see a serial killer in your dream represents fear and insecurity.

Analysis: I think this is pretty plain and obvious by now.

Chase
To dream that you are being chased signifies that you are avoiding a situation that you do not think is conquerable. It is a metaphor for some form of insecurity. In particular, to dream that you are chased by an animal represents your own unexpressed and unacknowledged anger which is being projected onto that animal. Alternatively, you may be running away from a primal urge or fear.

Analysis: I’m starting to think that this is related to my lack of self confidene when it comes to my artistic skills, which I need to sharpen up for the animating course I’ll take in Aussie. Manga teachers -> Artwork stuff conclusion. YES, MY ANGER AT MYSELF IS NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED, BECAUSE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAMN PERSON IN THIS WORLD THINKS I’M FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS, EVEN THOUGH I GENUINELY FUCKING HATE MY ART AND ULTIMATELY ALMOST MY WHOLE SELF.

ALL OF YOU BE DAMNED.

There, I said it.

Maybe I’m scared that I’m enrolling in something too big for me to handle. Well, this preparatory month is for me to catch up with my lack of awesomeness in arting. And almost everything else.

Sorry, just sayin’.

Bound

To dream that you are bound or tied up represents your need to be free from some relationship or situation.

Analysis: Because the people in this house are bullies. Fucking, mean bullies.          

Father
To see your father in your dream symbolizes authority and protection. It suggests that you need to be more self-reliant. Consider also your waking relationship with your father and how aspects of his character may be incorporated within yourself.

Analysis: I’ll just say that the self-reliance point is something I’m working on. I’ve always considered myself a pretty indpendent individual, so I guess I’ll detach myself from other more. My dad’s a self-made man, so yeah, this one hits clear.

Knife

To see someone holding a knife in your dream suggests that you lack control or power in a situation or relationship. Alternatively, the person holding a knife in your dream may be symbolic of a dominant male figure in your waking life.

Analysis: I usually lack control over a lot of things. Aging, sudden abdominal pains, pain itself. You know, the lemons life throws at us. My tuition teachers? A dominant male figure? I have no clue. I regard my tuition teachers highly, but then who the heck is this dominant male figure this excerpt is talking about?

Pocketknife
To see a pocketknife in your dream suggests a good friend is hiding his or his true feelings.

Analysis: I knew it, who’s deceiving me?

Brother
To see your brother in your dream symbolizes some aspect of your relationship with him. It can also serve to remind you that someone in your waking life has certain characteristics or behaviors similar to your brother.

Analysis: Let me reveal a secret: One of my brothers is an absolute jerk now.I’m basically socially alienated in this house. AND OH YES THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE THAT TREAT ME THAT WAY TOO.

Blimey, give me a break, mental pressure.

Mall
To dream that you are at the mall represents your attempts in making a favorable impression on someone. You are trying to establish your identity and sense of self. The choices you make in life will mold who you are as a person. The mall is also symbolic of materialism and the need to keep up with the trends, fads, and/or the latest technology. Consider the type and name of stores that you see in your dreams.

 

Analysis: It’s all about being who I want to be.

But my question is,who is it?
