grrr nightmare

[dia0369]

I don't usually share my dreams but this one scared the heck out of me! thought you guys might tell me what's wrong...

It was a summer day, but it was cloudy and dark outside. I couldn't tell if it was night or if there were some really nasty clouds. I ran into a man hunting crows. His rifle was on the ground, I accidentally touched it and it went off, I never touched the trigger, just the rifle on one end. That made the man angry and I ran away. After about 10meters I sensed a crow on my head, it seemed to be stuck in my hair and I felt it eating my brain and ripping it apart with its claws. I pulled the crow off my head and I actually felt my brain getting hurt in the process. I wanted to look and see if the brain was still there, but I thought if I were still alive, it must have still been there, and it hurt, too. I can't remember what happened after that...but I know I didn't wake up.

hello.

I'm no genius at dreams yet  

but usually nightmares or bad dreams are your inner self that wants you to take note of the dream thus having the fear and bad dream which makes you remember it.

it could be a fear, situation or something that you must deal with to overcome it. You could write the dream down and start taking it apart symbolically and metaphorically speaking

then checking what your subconscious or inner self wanted you to know, ask some simple question on the interpretation
1. Does the answer feel right?
2. Does the interpretation make sense?
3. Is there something useful I can do with this interpretation?
4. What would my mom or a truck driver have to say about this answer if I were to tell them?

Then also good practice to express the dream in a few forms as writing, drawing, painting and so on. That will help the flow and interpretation/message of the dream to be.

anyways hope some if it helps.

Love and peace
Ryu

Maybe these dreams are calling for more lucidity and propelling you to take more control over what happens in your life.

Creatures that latch onto us in dreams are like situations that demand attention and heed to be dealt with, so that they can be properly solved.

Practically, you can try to pull off the crow, but if it causes pain and exhaustion then it's the wrong way. Try to stop for a while and calm down, realize what's really going on around you and specially within yourself.

There are certain things that you need to remember everyday, like, to be creative, confident, and to know that you are powerful.
