Bad dream: Baby scalped, blood, torture, murder, rape... what does this all mean?

[dreamergirl]

I had a really bad dream last night, and it has been on my mind all day. The dream feel so real, I felt sick, nauseated etc.

I had to get through this path to somewhere, maybe I was on my way home I dont know. The path was barracaded with benches and bins, I moved it out of the way to pass. And the residence (house nearby) told me a group of boys had taken one of their baby and done something cruel and asked if I wanted to see. I was in their home and they had a number of babies, I said 'no, I dont want to see. I hope you understand', they said they did. But I saw the baby anyway... the baby had the top of it's scalp cut off, the white of the skull showed, there was blood, the baby was in agony and distorted. I felt sick, horrified, and sorry for the baby, why would anyone do such a cruel thing to an innocent life? I felt the gang who did it was the root of evil. The baby had a whole life ahead of him, and it did not deserve this.

The detectives asked me questions and said they will find the gang responsible.

Somehow I think I was in the gang's hangout, or I was caught. I cant remember exactly what I saw. But there was blood everywhere, torture, murder, rape... it was a horrible place. I felt scared, sick, disgusted, apalled etc. And I think they were going to kill me or torture me too.

What does this dream mean?

Anyone? I would appreciate it if you analyse it.

I have been depressed, but I havent noted that I am more depressed etc.

i think your dream reflects the human abyss with wich everyones confronted through media etc .people like to forget about the ugly and disturbing side of humanity so their subconciousness has to cope with it , maybe resultin in dreams like yours.if you wana contrast this darknesswith something positive try and learn about lucid dreamin. i dont know that much about it but there is loads of info in the web. best wishes from germany ,ulric

well dreams such as these can link to very real emotions and feelings that we are feling at prsent. Powerlessness,humiliation and feelings like that. Try to see a particularly string feeling like that from the day before

------------------
One way of telling how vital dreams are is to study people who are deprived of sleep and dreams.Sleep deprivation is very dangerous if it continues for extended periods. If you are deprived of sleep for several days then you will slip into madness. The reason for this is that sleep and dreams are linked to vital brain functions.

During the day we store up new thoughts and experiences within short term memory blocks. So if we are deprived sleep these become overloaded. The mind has no more space to store new feelings so these are merely forgotten.

During sleep vital brain waves emerge. Beta waves and theta waves are only ever detected within the brain at night. These help us process through those new feelings and experiences stored in short term memory. We integrate these new feelings into long term memory blocks. So if you do not sleep then you will not be updating your thoughts. You will not be building a bigger picture.

Thanks for your reply. It made sense, it happened that I didnt sleep that well that night and I have been having troubles falling to sleep.

I did search up the meaning of some elements of the dream. Seeing an ill baby is a sign of ill health. Rape torture reflects how you feel inside, victimise etc. Being trapped is a sign of feeling restricted in life. All these kind of represent how I am feeling right now about life.

This isnt the first time I had had a dream like this. In the past I had a dream that this fat woman who was sitting in a kitchen was roasting her skinny husband in the oven and eating him. He was saying 'not again!' to her. I could smell the pungent smell of meat being roasted in the air... it was horrible.

I was afraid tha having these dreams means I am a psychopath etc. But finding these dreams disturbing and not pleasant is a good sign right?

your dreams remind me of what i dreamt last night: there was a man laying dead with his head propped up against my chest, his face tilted up, "looking" up at me. I had forced his jaws open as wide as i could, giving me access to his entire mouth and throat. Using my bare hands and fingernails I had begun scraping out his vital organs through his throat and i was eating them. i remember the last scene: the leftovers from one of his organs was hanging out of his mouth. i remember feeling like i had a lot of "stuff" stuck uner my fingernails and the feeling of stuff stuck all in between your teeth. the "stuff" was the guy's organs i had been eating. the feeling finally started to disgust me.

well it may link to depressions. Dreams capture key emotions from the previous day and so this maybe captures thoughts related to your depressions. A feeling of unpleasantness and of people mocking you. These do not have to relate to real events, dreams often link to the stuff inside your head. Depression is a mood... affected by random events. It need not be based upon real life situations.
