I have vivid dreams from time to time. Some have recurring themes such as eating food with Bill Cosby.
But today I had another dream which involved the death or near-death of my 22 y/o son. In the first dream I had to kill him to save the earth. The second, I destroyed hundreds of city buildings like knocking down dominos and thought he would die but he didn't. I pondered about what it meant that I would sacrifice the life of my son for a greater good. Still not sure what that means. Another dream where my sisters and mother let him die.
This evening I dreamed my son was about nine years old and people were holding captive, him, myself and his little sister (he never had a sister). They allow me to go feed my horse but tell me they will kill my children if I don't come back to the house but I thought they would likely kill us all anyway. So I ran for help. I awoke as I was in a car following a police car that was heading to my house and the cop was helping the assailants not us.
What do you think?
