Help Interpret Dream Please! (Warning!! Might Be 2 Disturbing 4 Some)

Question

I had a very odd and somewhat disturbing dream of my dad. It started out that I happened to be in a parking lot sort of out of sight from others when a man who I was able to identify as a childhood friend's father came along to what appeared to be 'hide the murdere body of his wife' (I know it's disturbing). There was this big car which incidentally is the same car my friends dad drive in real life. So in addition to his wife there were others also that were dead and out of the car the dead came one by one onto the dirt of this parking lot and there was some blood here too. Suddenly changes in the dream occurred. Now the killer of these bodies was my own father, and I was now also very freightened of my wife's safety and began to worry that my father (who has been deceased for 15 years) might have shot my wife and this thought saddened me deeply in my dream and while I was very sad, I was calm somehow because I loved my dad so much and also I was holding on to the hope that my wife escaped this murder spree. suddenly I jumped up out from behind some place near this horrid scene into my dads sight and now my dad was naked and when he saw me he tried to hit me over the head with a wrench but I was able to easily grab his arm before any contact was made with the wrench and I then grabbed what was my dads kind of feeble shoulders I had one hand on each shoulder and moved him away from this scene out into a public area where I walked into a laundrymat, here there were people and I called the police to take my dad away. The police came and I told them what had happened. Next, my wife walked towards me and I was so ecstatic to see her.. I woke up and needless to say with only 4 hours of sleep I did NOT go back to sleep with that dream-sequence playing in my head on this night.

This dream is probably not typical and I'm sorry if it is disturbing for you it was for me too and that is why I hoping someone might recognize symbols here and help break this dream down.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Answer 1

You asked for an interpretation and it may be wrong but here goes. Your father in your dream was actually you. A father represents security, taking care of others, making hard decisions and for some reason you feel that you are failing your wife in this area. The dead bodies represent the large number of times that you feel that you have let her down (only you know why). Your dad (you) being naked in the dream means that you feel very vulnerable right now and are feeling very guilty about something. Hope this helps-it's really not your dad that you were dreaming about although I'm sure that you miss him.

Answer 2

Sometimes dreams are a result of all kinds of junk that accumulates in your mind and there isn't a whole lot of meaning behind them. But since you said this particular dream made such an impression on you, maybe you could do what I do when I have these kinds of dreams. I try to pick out the things that stood out the most and try to see if they have a personal meaning to me. If not, you can look it up. For example, seeing dead people in your dream could mean that someone is a bad influence on you and you might be associating with the wrong kind of people...etc. If you want to look up some more symbols, you can try this site:
