Shooting/Being shot

I'm going to use this post to record 3 dreams, two of which I actually had last week on two separate evenings, but was not able to write down as I was away from home and didn't have access to a computer.

I'll start with the most recent dream (last night's) first.

I can't remember all the details, but in essence, I was a fugitive. I'd shot about 5 men in self defence. I was in some hideaway bunker somewhere and they climbed in to attack me and the small group of people with me (including a little boy I'll mention later on).

Having shot the men, I knew from that point that I was a wanted man and started running for my life. My intent was to leave the country. By this point, all the people who were with me earlier had gone their own separate ways except for the child, who remained with me. The boy cried a lot, saying he didn't want to be killed.

Later in the dream, I found myself at a hotel I've visited in a previous dream. I had a key given to me by a friend (someone I know in real life) who said I could hide out in his hotel room while I planned my next move. The hotel corridors were a veritable maze with many doors. For some reason, I was able to use my key on any door as I searched for my friend's room. However, every time I thought I'd found his room, it turned out to be a toilet or a store cupboard. I started to get agitated because if I couldn't find the room, I'd have nowhere to hide.

In the end, I found an infirmary at the end of a corridor and the little boy and I went to hide in there. There was a doctor's uniform in the room and I decided to change into it, thinking that I'd masquerade as a doctor if I couldn't find the room I wanted.

It all gets unclear after that, but the next thing I remember, I was speaking to my mother who did not know about the people I'd killed. She then learnt about the killings from a news report, but I tried convincing her that I was not the one responsible.


Shooting dream 1

In the first shooting dream from last week, I was in the back garden at my mum's house standing by the shed. I then became aware that there were snipers in the bushes at the end of the garden. They started shooting at me, so I ran into the house, through the hallway and out of the front door. I ran down the road and knew that the snipers were chasing me, so I wanted to find somewhere I could hide. The road started to get longer and longer all by itself.


Shooting dream 2

I was in some kind of urban neighbourhood. The dream started with me accidentally damaging someone's car as I ran past. It turned out the owner was part of some sort of gang, and he, along with his "crew" decided to chase my friends and I. We were running for a long time to escape them in this dream, as they followed us in their car, shooting at us as they drove.

In the end, we managed to lose them by going through someone's back garden. It was night time and they were throwing a party in the house.
