I had a dream I was getting off work and I got shot by a tank...

Question

The tank seemed harmless at first but then it started shooting lots of little pellets that were sizzling and bouncing toward me. The pellets hit me and I started feeling this intense pain that caused me to fall to the ground.

I was in so much pain in my dream that I have move to wake myself up, and when I did the pain got even more unbearable.

I managed to move just enough to wake up but when I started to fall asleep again the pain returned and I had to move to become awake to make the pain stop.

This happened another 2 or 3 times the same night. It was so scary I didn't want to fall asleep again because everytime I got to the halfway point of falling asleep this intense pain would overcome me.

I've had dreams where I've experienced pain, but it was never physically real before. Does anyone know what happened?

Answer 1

Possibility of a pink slip in the present unemployment climate!

Answer 2

Although I almost want to agree with Billy Mays' answer, it might be too far off the mark or too soon to really say without any other indications.

HOWEVER, the physical pain you are feeling upon waking that is not going away might be an indicator of something going on in your body like cancer, so it is not to be completely discounted.

Has the pain continued night after night? That would be a clue that you have an internal injury that is quite real, whether it be heartburn, acid upset stomach, or a bruised organ from a fall or accident you thought of as being nothing. You may not have any bruises on your skin from whatever happened, but you certainly have some internal pain that is not enough to be noticed by your awake self but is most certainly noted by your subconscious brain in the form of your dream with real pain. Real pain in a dream is real pain in your body whether you acknowledge or register the pain while you are awake.

If not a recent accident, try fluffing your pillows. You may be having neck strain while sleeping if you are feeling pain or waking up sore. Pay attention to a sore jaw or headaches when you wake up - a sure sign of neck strain while sleeping. If so, ask your doctor about taking low-dose aspirin at night to help reduce such pain while you sleep.

Answer 3

maybe that's how you died in a previous life O.o

Answer 4

Something negative could target your finance and money, not necessarily physical damage and that damage to your money could be severe; but this dream symbolizes a warning to protect your finance, whether now or in the future.

However, that pain you are talking about, if it happens only when you dream, then it is understandable, otherwise, you better check your body with a doctor.

Answer 7

I wish I could explain better. But it sounds more like a spiritual thing to me than it is physical, but it depends on what you believe.

Answer 8

it is probably a sign like you are going to have some difficulties in life or maybe you'll go to war or your going to meet some one that is a pain in a but or something that's what i think and i had that happen to me before if it hurts you in real life the probably rats or some one or something is bitting you and you just look at the dream for the problem
