think of something happy

Answer 2

a cut represents that you need to spend time healing old " wounds" relationships, etc. Poison represents that you are indroducing something that hurts your well-being. they usually represent bad feelings like jealousy, anger, etc. you dying means that you have big changes ahead of you. You are moving on and leaving the past behind you. Your father represents authority, your step mom represents comfort and guidance. the hospital represents that you need to get back into the flow of things. Your girlfriend represents love. think of what your feelings and the relationship is like you two now.  you hugging her means that you may have fights later on ironically but you saying you love her tells of forgiveness. you not being able to talk means you cant voice your feelings sometimes. hope this helps for your friend Tim

Answer 3

Oh yes - it's a dream I've heard before - the person is dead and yet alive.    Poisoned.  It's a story about repression.  It would be my contention that this dreamer was fairly unloved as a small child and this caused him to repress some of his personality structure - shove it away - kill it.  That's what's so terribly sad and he awakens "almost in tears".  

The good news is that in dreams he can visit this dead part of himself until one day he can raise it again into consciousness.  

We repress things to protect ourselves.  We feel that our self is in danger and we put parts of ourselves "away" for safe keeping - and then find that it's "gone" - it's "dead".  

Nothing odd or crazy or lethal here - unhappily lots and lots of people do this and then live out their lives somewhat crippled by not being in touch with their totality.  But it is very sad - and sadness is the way back to his lost self.  At least that's what the dream has said.  It is a secret which most people cannot afford to tell themselves that once there was a total personality and some of that is now "not living".  

Just be aware that totality is possible.
