Issues

Today, I woke up from a vivid dream in which I murdered my entire family. It took 20 minutes after waking up, drenched in sweat and tears, to realize I'm not a murderer and my life is OK. This dream is recurring. FML

I think maybe you should talk to someone, a therapist? Seems like there are some issues you may have.

Er, I don't know how much stock can be put into this, but this book I have "The Meaning of Your Dreams", says that to dream you are committing murder implies that you are doing something that will ultimately result in losing your reputation. Take from that what you will, but have you been doing something unsavory around the time this dream started?

Turn yourself into the local prison for thought crimes. They'll keep you and your family safe.

Murdering in a dream indicates that you are putting an end to an old habit and a former way of thinking. This could also refer to an end to an addiction. Alternatively, the dream indicates that you have some repressed aggression or rage at yourself or at someone. Note also that dreams of murder occur frequently during periods of depression.

I’ve had recurring dreams along those lines since I was a kid. However it doesn’t take me 20 minutes to calm down afterwards. You should seek help.

hm, I would seek professional help on this one. it sounds like you value them. maybe you are dealing with anxiety and are harboring emotions that you need to express?
