OK as I was saying I have been having odd dreams.but these do not feel like any ordinary dream.I had a dream that I was going onto a trip with a group of friends that I have never met before.well I ended up going onto a trip to Florida.I am from Louisiana.I met a guy when I got there he was wandering around a big open field.I started talking to him.he was a very nice person.but not shortly after meeting him, he ended up shooting me with a shotgun and killing me.he killed me in a ditch beside the open field.and he left me there.but not long after lying there I got up.but I noticed I definitely wasn't alive.I had a big gunshot wound to my chest.I started wandering around town looking for something.nobody noticed me.nobody could hear me.I finally found my friens they were the only ones that could see me and hear me.they told me that they would stay in town and try to find out who killed me.I know I wasn't myself.I felt like I was living someone else's life.it was very weird to me.I just wanted to see what my dream means.I thought that maybe someone's spirit might be visiting my dreams to get my attention.or maybe it means nothing.but I would really like your opinion.please help me and get back to me asap.I can't stop thinking about it.thank u

It's very rare to dream that you are dead. Freud I think said it was impossible, but it happened to me once too (I was lying along the edge of a hospital corridor). In your dream you aren't sure if you are you, so that explains why you keep being aware of what is going on.

I would guess that you are at a stage of your life when you aren't sure about trusting men, even nice ones, who aren't part of your circle of friends. Have you met a nice guy who is a stranger to all of you, not from around you, and you are wondering?

But dreams are very personal and you are the one who should be telling us what it means to you.

This seems to be a message from your sub-conscious regarding your feelings about being heard and understood. It also seems to speak of a certain difficulty in trusting people. The dream indicates that there are only a handful of people that you feel can really see you. I'm not sure what the personal significance the state of FLA holds for u, but if there isn't one, I would guess that it symbolizes a "sunny" vacation of sorts, which for most would be a time for fun and relaxation, yet in your dream you end up the victim of a violent crime. Perhaps an inability to trust people outside your small group of friends creates feelings of anxiety that keep you from fully enjoying the enjoyable? Wide open fields are typically indicative of freedom, and ditches can symbolize the hidden or the obscure. Also, consider that when we "ditch" something, we leave it behind. The thing that holds you back (your fear and mistrust, which was represented by the man that shot you)needs to be "ditched" yet your reliance on your friends for comfort and safety may be a hendrence in accomplishing this since -in the dream - they served the purpose of hunting down or resurfacing the "killer" or the fear. I think this dream might be about a fear of too much distance or freedom from the familiar due to mistrust and doubt.

UNFAIR - It is against the policy of this site to rate negatively when it's about a matter of opinion.
You have offered no clues about your life at all, and all dreams are open to interpretation.
The suggestions about FL, about ditches, and all that were good ones that you can take or leave.
Saying you dreamed about a place 'because you lived there' means nothing all by itself!

I am confused by joypulv's last comment... I must not be able to see all responses? Did the dreamer respond?

Oh. I see. Had to click on rating. So, is that why my rep. points dropped? Hmmmm. Does seem a bit unfair, doesn't it? Thanks for your input, joy.
