Dream Symbols: A Bloody Brawl

Join Lisa, Joseph, and Deb as they illuminate the mysterious corners of the unconscious by interpreting your dreams, illustrated.
They analyze the dream of a 27-year-old man who is in the military. The dreamer comes face-to-face with an inner figure that pushes him to the edge to realize his own responsibility-and his own capacity for violence:
“The dream starts in a rundown house. In front of me is an unattractive woman and a good-looking guy making out on a sofa. I get bored and ask if we can go somewhere more interesting. They have evil grins on their face and say yes. We go to an abandoned factory complex and meet an Asian man who follows us deep underground. We climb down a metal staircase, and everything is pitch black. We get to the basement, and there is a dark-robed figure. It says, “It’s good that you came here, but come back tomorrow, and everything will be explained.” The other people I am with are disappointed. We leave the complex, and I go home.
The next day, I got a call from the unattractive woman. She asks if I can pick her up for the meeting with a dark-robed figure, and I comply. When we arrive, she asks me not to tell the dark-robed figure she’s with me. I speak with the dark-robed figure, and he removes his hood. It’s my chief from the military, with whom I get along well. We go down to the same basement, and there are many people, all of whom look like fighters.
The dark-robed figure, let’s call him K from now on, says I must go first into the ring. My opponent is strong and fit; he’s badmouthing me and saying the fight will be easy. The fight starts, and he kicks me. I grab his leg and make a painful move on him. To not traumatize him, I let go of it. He boasts how I was lucky. K is very disappointed and says that I should have finished the job. I still hear my opponent badmouthing me, and that angers me; I grab a machete off the ground and start whacking my opponent and everyone else in the basement.
K, the ugly woman, the guy she made out with, and the Asian man join me. We kill a lot of people in that room and are soaked in blood. K told me that it was finally time for me to meet HIM. K tells us to wait at the dark staircase that leads to the basement. The ugly woman says to me, “Whatever, you don’t look at them.” I hear K’s voice and two other distorted voices talking, but I only hear one set of footsteps walking on metal stairs.
The figures start descending the stairs with K. I get a glimpse through the corner of my eye, and I see that one of the figures is smaller and the other bigger. The smaller one approaches me. I don’t look at its face; I only look at its feet and see some sort of dark smoke. The smaller dark figure says to me, “You are interesting,” and tells the other bigger dark figure to approach me. I feel immense pressure around me; the dark figure grabs my chin and says it’s fine to look at him. I look to where its face is supposed to be and wake up.”

You two make such a great pair. I cannot tell you how important it is just to hear two calm voices at some point in my day. It's often the surrogate adoptive mother and father we didn't have. It clarifies that we need to become those clear calm voices and that we need more of that in our world.

I'm 49 and just coming to terms with my anger and frustration and resentment. This was really helpful, my anger was helpful to push through some difficult times in life, but later in life it is like you say, an "unskillful" approach for what my life is today. I have been getting more in touch with the feminine these days, my patience and kindness.

What a beautiful archetypal dream he had. Hope he finds out what he's fighting for....

Buddha. Being aware that most of our anger and frustration is ego related.
