Strange, bad dream -- does it mean anything?

Question

I rarely remember my dreams, but this morning I had a bad dream. I dreamed that my father had started drinking again (I'm 36 and am an adult) and he was coming after me with a shotgun. (He's not a violent person and has never even spanked me, so this is not a normal thing for me to dream.) But there was a good part in the dream! In the midst of all of this chaos I met Olivia Newton-John who became my friend and protector. She had an ethereal quality about her. So on the one hand I was afraid; on the other hand, I was excited to meet Olivia and have her on my side. I woke up exhausted.

Weird, I know! Any thoughts?

Answer 1

think of each of those people representing something else.

most dreams we have are about ourselves and are representative.

guns and bullets represent words.

so your father is representing being attacked, possibly verbally, and

Olivia is probably representing someone coming to your defense.

you never know; it could be an angel, too.  Angels are protectors-

like the phrase, guardian angel.

I'd say that was a good thing!

Answer 2

The spirit of alcohol was trying to jump on you  and yes it will kill you (gun).

Some one was praying for you and standing in gap for you. It could have been Olivia her self . You wake up exhausted because you are fighting in the spirit realm. God bless you.
