Hi Emily –<\/p>\n
What a great dream.<\/p>\n
I agree that your dreams of serial murder most likely reflect anger and frustration that you are feeling in your everyday life. The \u201cinterdimensional police,\u201d on the other hand, I believe represent your own concerns about this continuing pattern in your life. I think you are becoming aware that maintaining a consistent level of anger and frustration (you write that your dreams are \u201cfrequent\u201d) is unhealthy. Accordingly, the \u201cpolice\u201d have arrived to warn you of the dangers of not listening to your feelings. The message they are bringing you is that you can not just \u201cwrite off\u201d the frustration you are feeling on the inside – without suffering accordingly in the real world.<\/p>\n
If we do not express our anger or frustration through appropriate channels – \u201cHey, I want to talk to you about something that\u2019s bugging me…\u201d – we either begin to dislike ourselves for not speaking up and asserting our feelings (and subsequently become depressed), or we begin fantasizing about how we would like to tell off, get back, or eliminate (murder) some of the people or problems from our lives.I find it curious that you understand the symbolic significance of murder in these dreams, but that you seem to believe the \u201cinterdimensional police\u201d are real! Just as murder is a metaphoric expression of your desire to make the source of your frustrations \u201cgo away,\u201d the \u201cinterdimensional police\u201d represent your awareness – your super-awareness, if you will – of an imbalance in your conscious and subconscious feelings.<\/p>\n
The waterfall and children in your dream suggest a release of emotion, and innocence or rebirth respectively. Perhaps this dream was catharctic for you, in the sense that it is showing you that you need to listen to your feelings. The fact that your dreams have paused for the time being suggests that this important message is beginning to sink in.<\/p>\n
What is the solution? You most likely have been avoiding your feelings (\u201cwriting them off\u201d) because subconsciously you are aware that acknowledging them will require you to make some changes in your personal or professional life. On the other hand, your dreams now seem to be asking you – even warning you – to take yourself, and your feelings, more seriously. The Dream Doctor\u2019s advice? Listen to your dreams. If you are frustrated professionally, work to identify the problem, and then commit to taking small steps to improve or resolve the situation. If you are frustrated in a relationship, identify the problems and speak up and assert yourself. If you don\u2019t take these steps to change your life, your dreams of frustration most likely will continue.<\/p>\n
