shaking off nightmare

I remember it well, everyone seemed to be living in the city in some crowded rat hole of an apartment. there was this nice old man... but there was this young asshole who was so irresponsible and he thought he was in his way and he struck the poor old guy that it killed him. Being the less-then steller guy he was he kept claiming that he was just in shock but my dad started screaming about how he killed the older guy and stuff. Well, I left, and ran into some more err...not so great characters. Got a gun pointed at me, I took the muzzle and moved it upwards so it wasn't at my forehead anymore. Tried begging for my life in spanish. And well, as you can imagine my spanish was crappy in the dream...well, crappier then it is right now anyways. Eventually I suppose they just got bored at left.

It's so weird, you know, and before that I was dreaming that my mother was going off about how ugly and fat I am, or something to that effect, and before that I had one where my friend said even though I think I'm cool I'm really a loser (well, I do sort of act like his mother sometimes, not letting him climb up on the roof,etc.) so he went off with another boy his own age and then there were a bunch of these tornadoes everywhere in the dream and I can't really begin to describe it to you because it's just aweful.

You know, these aren't my usual sort of nightmares.

generally speaking concerning this episode how are you truely feeling about yourself when you drempt this? did you feel out of control? Life a little crazy?
If you notice the only positive in the whole dream was killed?
I get all kinds of dreams & believe that sometimes they mean more than we think but have learned to be honest w/myself, sometimes I realize that when I'm hurt in a dream it's because I'm feeling unloved or invisible & it's my way of getting the attention I crave usually I'm saved by the man of my dreams & sometimes I have to face the fact that I can't always figure out what the meaning behind them are.
Shaking off nightmares is sometimes a hard thing, find someone who can comfort & distract you or visit a really beautiful place like a park, waterfall when this happens & fill your heart & mind w/ light & beauty!
I've actually been doing alot of asking about dream interpretations on another site I belong to, it's nice to get others perspectives sometimes.

eh, my dreams are less scary now, and more weird.
Like, last night when I could sleep (bad allergies)
There was this woman who denied abusing her kids and it was ticking me off as though I had been abused myself.
