Can't shake this dream - Does anyone know what it means???

[markjc]

I had a dream a couple of nights ago that has stayed with me more than most other dreams do and I was wondering if anyone could interpret possible meanings.

The Dream: It starts with the government stating that the world is going to end, because the sun they said was going to turn to rock for reasons unknown at the time. They said that it would happen very soon within the next few hours, then the people on earth would have about one more day to live, because the earth would become too cold. I watched the sun become rock (this part has stuck with me the most, which was very realistic but not necessarily "scary" but more an overwhelming feeling of despair), then it became pitch black everywhere. The dream moves next to people from the government informing a group of people (which I was a part of) that we had to travel to the past (a few days earlier) and figure out why it happened, so we could stop it, but if it took too long we would disappear. We traveled to the past from a worm hole we created on earth. Once in the past things become fuzzy - I remembered we needed guns for some reason, like someone was trying to stop us. I forgot the rest of the dream. I think the dream was in color (I don't know if that means anything).

Thanks for any help, I can't forget this dream. Let me know if you need any other information.

hey, i'm new to the forum and quite the beginner at dream analysis. for the past few years i have been using the following website as a guide to my dream symbols. you should have a look at it... it makes a lot of sense to me.
An Online Guide To Dream Interpretation.
i have looked the following symbols up:

Sun
To see the sun in your dream, symbolizes peace of mind, enlightenment, tranquility, fortune, goodwill, and insight. It also represents radiant energy. It is a good omen to have the sun shining in your dream.

Rocks
To see rocks in your dream, signifies permanence and stability as expressed in the familiar phrase "as solid as a rock". It may also indicate that you are making a commitment to a relationship. Or you may be contemplating some changes in your life that will lay the groundwork for a more solid foundation. On the other hand rocks may also symbolize stubbornness, disharmony and unhappiness.

To dream that you are climbing a steep rock, signifies struggles, obstacles, and disappointments.

*Please also see Stones.
Gun
To see a gun in your dream , symbolizes aggression, anger, and potential danger. You may be dealing with issues of passiveness/aggressiveness and authority/dependence. Alternatively, a gun can represent the penis and male sexual drive. Thus the gun may mean power and impotence.

To dream that you are loading a gun, forewarns that you should be careful in not letting your temper get out of control.

To dream that you shoot someone with a gun, denotes your aggressive feelings and hidden anger toward that particular person.

To dream that someone is shooting you with a gun, suggests that you are experiencing some confrontation in your waking life. You may feel victimized in some situation.

*Please see also Pistol or Shot.

For me, this dream dictionary has provided much assistance. i think the statement that we are the ones who have the knowledge to decode our dreams is in truth.
Good luck!
