Mildly disturbing dream(s).

Hi. I had an uncomfortable dream recently that I can't get out of my mind and i feel the need to get to the bottom of if there is one. I did submit this to a pure dream interpretation forum recently but only got the spiritual interpretation, something I have trouble getting into. So I'm hoping someone here can give me a more scientific/psychological interpretation of them.

The dream:
A pleasant smiling woman, that I did not know, gave me a note that said that I had previously agreed to let her kill me. I agreed and for some reason I believed that while she would give me a fatal wound, I would not really die, or that I would come back. Both the woman and I stayed calm and pleasant throughout the whole affair, it was quite civil. She proceeded to cut my throat, first horizontally from right to left, the suddenly it changes to vertically, from the bottom and up. It was done with a sharp ritual looking knife. I did not feel any pain, but at the last moment the knife ground against my chin bone and it was still not painful, but the grinding was uncomfortable and extremely disturbing. I did not die instantly and she remained by my side afterwards, looking me in the eyes and smiling pleasantly. Then I woke up, feeling disturbed and agitated.

I don't feel like this is a nightmare really, I am not terrified by it, just mildly disturbed.
On the other forum I was encouraged to go in detail about every single thing I remembered and put it into scenes or acts. In case that helps here too here it is:

I do not remember much except the woman, myself and the act, the rest is very hazy. In my mind I keep alternating between being "me the participant" and "me the observer". "We" has opposite viewpoints so the directions can be a bit wrong. "Me the participant" is not aware of "Me the observer". There are four scenes If you count the half remembered one before the woman turned up.

Scene 1. The half remembered story:

Up until the woman approached me I can't remember anything other than small confusing bits and pieces. I think I was in control of other people as in their boss/leader And I think I believed I had just become immortal. But in a way I wasn't really me until the woman turned up. I watch a lot of movies in real life and tend to have what I call "movie dreams" with far fetched plots that runs like movies in my mind. I am rarely the main character in these and if I am I am most likely still not really "me". I cannot remember many details about this besides a kind of wild west atmosphere and I remember feeling powerful and in control.

Scene 2. The woman approaches:

From here on out all previous associations are gone. Its like the woman stepped out from the previous dream and brought me into the new dream.

From the perspective of the me that was participating the woman is approaching me from behind, I don't turn around, she walks in front of me and stands slightly to the left. In front of me, behind her slightly to the left I think there is a yellow wooden house, I do not know or remember seeing this house in real life. Other than that we might as well have been floating in the sky as all I remember was that it was bright and airy. It felt like summer.

The woman reminds me strongly of Julie Andrews from the Mary Poppins movie, but with light brown hair that was a bit past shoulder length. She wore the same style/era dress that Andrews/Poppins wore in the movie (the blue one). It was either blue or yellow in my dream, I cant remember which, or it changed color during the dream, If I have to choose then yellow is the strongest in my mind. I think she had a red ribbon in her hair, or it might have been white, I'm not sure, it keeps changing colors in my mind. She was always smiling pleasantly. I'ts like her face is locked in a pleasant smile while still appearing to be a natural expression.

She gave me the note that said I had agreed to let her kill me. It was just an ordinary note, slightly yellow form age but not very much. It was folded in half. I can not remember the physical act of actually opening it and reading it. I think she told me what the note said, and that I knew that it was true. I cannot remember any actual words, I just knew what she wanted and accepted it. It feels like I both read the note and heard it from her, but when I think about it I can't actually remember it. I felt calm and in control the whole time, and I felt familiarity with the woman.

Scene 3. The cut:

The knife she used was small, slender and curved. If you Google "Jambiya dagger" you get the general shape of it. I think she was behind me on my left side when she made the cut, (right side when I'm the observer). I Both her and me are standing when the cut starts but she is sitting and I am lying down at the end of it. When I think about it I think the cut might have started out like a right to left cut but suddenly turned into a vertical cut. And I don't mean that she started side to side and curved it up in the middle, I mean I remember it both ways at the same time. When she was cutting I was the observer and was up close face to face with myself looking at my own neck. The cut was bloodless and left a deep clean cut. I felt calm up until she started cutting, then I started to feel worried. When the knife ground against my chin bone I might have felt fear for a moment.

Scene 4. The aftermath:

I am not sure but I think I was lying with my upper body and head in her lap at the end afterwards. I think we might have talked about something but this is so hazy that I don't trust my own memory about that. If we did I can't remember any words said. I felt no fear, but at the same time I felt worry and agitation. This feeling lasted a while after I woke. And I can still feel the knife against my chin like it it is still happening whenever I close my eyes and think about it.

Hi,
You may get all sorts of interpretations for a dream. My interpretation is based on a long time study of dreams -my own and thousands of others.
Your dream was caused by some problem with your breathing. It is likely that you had an acid reflux that was burning or irritating your throat during the sleep.
Although the dream seemed to happen in real time, this type of dream can happen in seconds. The reason for the dream is that you need to clear the throat and you may not be able to do it while asleep.
The dream could have also been caused by a coughing fit or asthma spasm.
Still you have to be thankful that the cutting of your throat was done by a "nice" person

This dream is about communication and trying to get words out of your mouth. The woman is a part of yourself, and what you are doing to yourself. You are keeping yourself from speaking. You are not speaking about something that got you agitated. Someone in real life is keeping you from speaking your mind, maybe?
