Weird Nightmare Involving High School, Fire, And Shooting

i had this weird nightmare dream last night.
LISTEN TO THIS:

In my dream i was in high school again sitting and laughing and having a good time with my only friend i ever had. this popular girl had lied to her boyfriend about having his baby. he just found out that day. she was trying to marry him but her baby belonged to someone else. she thought that i was the one that told her boyfriend about it. so she set fire to the outside of the school outside near a window. but before she set the fire she had come over to me and said something mean in a firm whisper and told me to meet her outside. i brushed it off but was really scared. i was the first person in the room to see and smell smoke so i was frantic and telling everyone to get out.

i went to the nearest door and there was no handle. then i ran to the other side of the room to the other door and had to unlock the handle and then 2 safety locks to get out. everyone else was stuck inside. i was the only person that got out. except all the popular girls were gone? so i ran far away and looked around outside and i saw no one. and i started running around and i heard gun shot and the popular girls were shooting at each other. one of them killing another and another.

so i run back into the burning building because im scared. i go in and theres students still alive vomiting from smoke and their flesh burnt. i help them all get out and show them the door and am leading them outside.

next thing i hear is gun shots again and those girls are shooting the students that got burned and i look back and see them going down one by one as they are vomiting from smoke inhalation. but then i take off running for my life.

i look back once and see one of the girls with the gun and i keep running and look away. right as im running near the end of the dream someone was about to shoot me in the back as i was running.

and then i force myself to wake up.

Newtus, thank you for sharing your dream.

Do you have a therapist(t)? Often our t can use this kind of highly charged emotional situation as part of a therapy session.

Here is an article that talks about recording and understanding dreams.
