Hi, I'm new here and just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on this dream. Since i'm new, this may be long because of the back story. So thanks in advance if you make it to the end.

First, let me say I have always had a good family / home life. No destructive relationships of any kind or trauma of any sorts. I am happily married and we have a healthy relationship.

Now...with that being said, I've always have extremely vivid dreams ever since I was a kid. I can remember dreams from when I was around two years old and a few of them are reoccuring to this day (I am now 27 yrs old). Often they are of something scary. Sometimes I cannot tell what it is that is scary about them but I know they are scary and I wake up with an eerie feeling. I feel like the older I get the more graphic and freaky they are.

I would say within the past five years they have gotten to the point of disturbing because in the dreams I have either killed someone or am trying to hide the body for someone else. In the dream I never actually perform the act of killing, but I know that it was either myself or someone else (depending on the dream) that did the killing. Really messed up stuff!! There is nothing in my everyday life that I have to hide from anyone. no skeletons in the closet, nothing at work. and I have stopped watching the news before bed too cause at first I thought that might have been fueling the subconcious with the horrible images and thoughts (war, killing, street crime, etc)

So...on to last nights dream. My friend at work just got married less than a week ago. In my dream she found out that her husband had just a few days to live. In the dream she was talking about it and she said that rather than go on without him she will die too. Something like euthanasia. So he died and then we were at his wake. we saw her there and she said her good buys to us all and walked up to their casket and told her husband that she will be with him very soon and then the next thing I know she is also dead and they are putting her in the casket (yes the same casket) and then someone closed the casket and we were all off to the actual funeral. I remember commenting to one of my co-workers about how they are using the flowers from her boquet and the centerpieces from the wedding as their funneral flowers since they weren't able to spend their life together, this is kind of tying it all together and finishing it for them. The whole thing was terribly sad and very upsetting in the dream and once I woke up. It's really been bothering me all day and when I went on facebook first thing I see is her new albums from their honeymoon and wedding. I thought it would help seeing them happy and ALIVE but it just made it worse. It was like I was looking at someone's pics who've recently passed away. It was horrible!

WHAT ON EARTH could this mean? Honestly, I don't even want to fall asleep because I HATE having these kind of dreams!!!!!

I feel like I'm in a Nightmare on Elm Street movie. I wish there were such things as pills that make you NOT dream.

HI and Welcome.

I noted the contrast of the wedding and funeral. One represents a harmonious relationship, a blending together, quite possibly the symbol of yin and yang. Two things go together.

Then there's the death and burial. Something is being buried and separated but joined again in another realm.

One part represents life and a beginning, and the other represents death and a new beginning.

If you merge these two ideas together, what do you get? Is it something like a fear of having your harmonious life's journey end and/but wanting it to continue?
