Dreamed I was in a Concentration camp with my husband Matt. The officers would occasionally make us fight to the death with another prisoner. I was picked for this though I told them I’d refuse to kill another prisoner. I asked for a minute to gather my thoughts and prepare, which they granted. I had a friend in the electrical control booth. He turned off the electricity, I cut through fence, met Matt and we began running. Running through forest, gardens. Thought we were past it all, realized a guard/officer living quarters was right there, we climbed over a fence and dove into a pond/lake, holding hands, realized the lake was full of dead bodies Came across a cabin, collapsed to catch our breath, two women officers burst in not knowing we were there, instantly recognized one of them as the butcher, I grabbed her from behind and started strangling her, it was hard. Matt shot the other one. I broke my guards hyoid bone, trying to crush her windpipe. Matt shot her in the neck three times and once in the head for good measure. We kept running, through farms. Came to a cherry orchard, a kind farmer assured us there were no officers and told us which way to run. I called back God Bless You as we took off running. The dream ends.
This dream may reflect feelings of oppression, fear, and the struggle for survival in your waking life. The concentration camp setting could symbolize a sense of being trapped, controlled, or overwhelmed by a difficult situation or relationship. The officers forcing prisoners to fight to the death may represent power struggles, conflicts, or challenges you are facing in your personal life.
Your refusal to participate in the violence demonstrates a strong moral stance and a desire to resist being complicit in harmful actions. Escaping with your husband Matt suggests a need for support and unity in facing adversity. Running through the forest and gardens may symbolize your search for freedom, growth, and renewal.
The encounter with dead bodies in the lake could represent past traumas, repressed emotions, or difficult memories that you are trying to navigate. The confrontation with the women officers, particularly the struggle and violence that ensues, may reflect a need to confront and overcome internal or external threats.
The cherry orchard and kind farmer offering guidance suggest hope, assistance, and a sense of direction in moving forward. Your expression of gratitude and invoking a blessing could signify a sense of gratitude, faith, or resilience as you continue on your journey towards a more positive and fulfilling future. Ultimately, the dream may be urging you to confront challenges, seek support, and maintain hope and resilience in the face of difficulties.
