I rarely remember my dreams with the exception of 4 or 5 over a several year period that made a big impression

I just had another one this morning that really has me rattled.. In the dream, I am present in a house with a male child, about 7 or 8 years old. and a woman. I dont know them nor their relationship to each other. Its almost like I am an observer but cant interact. Its a real peaceful setting like in a formal dining room with dark wood walls.

The woman approaches the child speaking very calmly to him and he responds calmly and obviously feels very comfortable around her because he just stands there very still. I cant hear what she is saying. The child stands still as the woman approaches him from behind and puts a small .22 calaber hand gun under his chin. He didnt appear to be alarmed and whispered something to her as she fired twice. I hear the shots and see the shots exit thru 2 small holes in the top of his head. He immediately fell to the floor. -This is the point where I woke up very frazzled and confused and Ive been thinking about it all day.

Any comments or possible interpretations?

-thank you

Well the dream features a male child... maybe thats symbolic of some male whos acting like a child. Guns often link to confrontation or arguments... anything like that happen yesterday?

What exactly is a dream? A dream often captures some new thought or feeling or fantasy. Often deeply embedded in it is some idea or thought. Try to bear that in mind when understanding a dream. A dream will symbolise some conceptual thought such as "I think my grandmother is still angry with me after what I said" . Many dreams revolve us making such judgements based upon our intuitions.

How exactly do you go about understanding the meaning of a dream symbol? Well first you start to make associations with that symbol. Take for instance if you had a dream about Tony Blair the Prime Minister of the UK. You can associate many things with him. First of all he is a decision maker. The dream then could capture you wanting to take some serious decision within your own life. But equally Tony Blair is a man who began his political life a hero who was universally popular. Now he is disliked by almost everyone in the country. Maybe the dream captures some similar situation for yourself eg "When I first started my job everyone liked me. I could do nothing wrong. But recently I have become universally unpopular". But we could also see Tony Blair in another sense. He is the ally of President Bush and is often accused of doing everything he says and because of this has been accused of being a poodle. So maybe the dream captures some theme with a similar "yes man" theme. But Tony Blair could also have different meanings. He has virtually said that he will resign in the spring and there was much speculation about this and about how he should go about resigning. Maybe the dream captures a similar theme in your own life eg "I am thinking of leaving my job. But if I tell my boss it may cause trouble for me. I might just leave it as long as possible".

Therefor its possible to list many different symbolic meanings. Any one of these could be correct. The first association that comes to mind is not always the correct one. Its a matter of trying out different theories and then seeing if they fit the situation or feelings within your life. If one seems to work then try working in the other dream symbols.
