The Scary's dream I had

It felt real, it first started out black but I was starting to smell something burning, then I felt heat like I was close to a fire, then started hearing something that sounded like thunder, then the last nose I heard was screaming. But then it started like showing me something when it stop being black I seen houses on fire, people running from young to old, horses with army people riding killing the young and the old people even babies. I look at my hands and they are not my hands they was different color, when I look back up there was a man on a horse looking at me the horse was shaking it's head the man then put his hand on his sword and slowly take it out, then pointed his sword right at the body that was not mine but the body that I was in, I wanted to run I tried to run but the body would not move, then the horse started running right at me/the body I was in, the man that had army clothes on still had his sword pointed at me, then all of a sudden I felt this pain then I felt something wet and running I looked at the hands that was not mine and there was blood on it. It then went black again I woke up and I was still feel the pain and still smell the fire, I took my hands to see if I was bleeding but I was not, then I look around the house to see if the house was on fire but it was not.
I have been trying to find out what did it mean and why it felt so real after I woke up and while I was in the dream.

Hi, ndandcr, and welcome to Psych Central! That dream certainly does sound powerful. Can you think of anything in real life that happened that you could be drawing from? Or reading about a fire? Movies? Books?

My grandpa use to watch old west movies but never that I have seen that look like the dream. But other why's not really I have been trying to think but nothing comes up. I have been though a lot but I don't know how it had to do anything with that dream.

The Horse is You. Fire is transformation. That man on the horse s you as well. The body that is not you was your old self. Now you have the power of the Horse and the man on it..Transformation from old self in this dream.

how can it be my old self when I was only 3 1/2 years old when I had this dream??

i've had some dreams that looked real too. almost all they were scary. i've had a dream i was sleeping in a kind of spooky house with an old man which asked me weird questions with a tv. there were so many doors there, i couldnt get out. and there were people, things actually, which if they saw you you died.

That makes this especially true. Because at that age your brain is developing at a fast rate, at that age.

I some what don't believe it but some of my friends when I was in school they told me that it could be a sprite trying to tell me what happen before my grandma and grandpa lived there that is on my step dad side.
