Re: Another nightmare
Hi Rusfox! Wow, what a vivid dream...
I have read all the posts below which includes, of course your post and explanation of what's going on in your life. It makes perfect sense for you to have this dream! Unless you have psychic dreams...every figure in your dream is an aspect of yourself. This man who wanted to kill you is your Inner Male (mars). You say that you're very independent but now that you're married you're feeling that you must change that part of yourself. Well...the dream is clearly showing a 'battle' going on between your Inner Male (ego, 'do-er', the archetypal Action-taker part of yourself) and your Self. I found it fascinating that your 'weapon' was a small square piece of glass (science glass) because that tells me your weapon is your Intellect or Rational Self. Your mind is possibly saying: I must subdue this Independent more 'male' aspect of myself...if I am to be in this marriage. In the end you 'kill' him by slitting his throat...so you are killing his expression. The death of this independent inner male could mean that your Inner Male is transforming into something new....just make sure that you're not cutting off the expression of this independent side of yourself at the expense of a true part of yourself. Your mind (square scientific glass) may want to subdue your independent self but by repressing this part of yourself you could just be creating a volcano waiting to explode. hmmmm!
Yes, like Ptree said, the toilet is very significant. Showing what needs to be 'eliminated'? hmmmm. Oh and the intermingling of blood...showing that you are both getting hurt in this battle...
Your dream has some major archetypal symbols in it Rusfox! Very interesting....
