I dreamed this last night and I have no idea what it means. I found it very disturbing. I dreamed that me and a guy friend of mine, (not anyone I actually know, just a dream character) are walking somewhere. We're crossing a schoolyard that might be abandoned or just empty at the moment. There are signs posted with that prohibition symbol, the circle with the line through it. There aren't words, but the gist of the signs is 'no trespassing, violators will be shot.' So my friend and I pass through the schoolyard and I make it across, but he gets shot and dies. Then I dreamed that I was told my friend Will died. I immediately go into denial, thinking it can't be true. I can't deal with the idea of a friend dying, especially not such a good friend who's so very young, so I block it and refuse to accept it. I think that maybe if I go to work he'll be there, or if I call him he'll answer, but I come to the conclusion that I'll just get his crying mother who will tell me he's dead. I tell myself I have to deal with this, that denying it doesn't make it untrue. So I start to cry. Then I wake up and open my eyes and figure it isn't true, but when I close my eyes again I go right back into the dream. I'm at Food World and Will isn't there and I'm like, shit. He's really dead. I go back and forth between being awake and dreaming, confused, thinking that the dream is reality. FInally I wake all the way up and I'm relieved to realize I was dreaming. Very disturbed by this, I hate dreams like this. Any thoughts on what it could mean?
Sounds to me like a warning. A 'look before you leap' kind of dream. Are there any big decisions you have to deal with in your life right now? If so, it probably means you'll have to make a sacrifice in order for you to 'get across it' (not necessarily the sacrifice of a human life, but a sacrifice of something seemingly important). As for your friend, Will, check up on him. See how his life is going. It might be possible that Will is 'dying' on the inside and needs a little love and support from his friends. Unfortunately, dreams can be extremely elusive, so this is just my interpretation. This is what I would think if it was me dreaming it, make sense? Try and look into it yourself, what you think it means and you will probably be right. Try not to worry to much, though. Dreams can only affect the material world on such as large scale (such as death) if there is a lot of will behind it. And I highly doubt this is the case.
I don't think there are any big decisions coming up, besides maybe getting a second job and eventually quitting the job I just got back. These are things I've been planning to do for awhile now. I think getting a second job means a sacrifice of free time to spend with my friends, but I'm willing to make it. Will hates his job, very unhappy about that. But otherwise he's a very perky, well-adjusted person. I could ask though. I wasn't worried it would come true, I just hate dreams that conjure actual pain and make me cry. Thanks.
