The bashing

Dream

Penny and I are swimming in an indoor pool. There are a few other people swimming as well but we do not know them. Everyone is naked. A young man enters the building, he is fully clothed and has a crazy look on his face. He has a pistol and he just wants to kill someone. I take the pistol off him by force and I throw it into a very deep circular pool, but there is no water in it. I then bash the man quite savagely with an axe handle. Then I bash him with a ten pin bowling pin.

Dream notes and associations

This was a day dream. We had watched Q+A and after that we had discussed this weekend's very busy social calendar. Penny went to bed and I stayed going through my emails and social media and I just drifted off to sleep on the couch and had this dream and then woke up again. Why would I use an axe handle and a ten pin bowling pin to bash him? Wouldn't the axe handle be enough?
Dreamcubator made a connection to the policeman dream and I made a connection with the hand job dream.

My feelings throughout the dream and on awakening

A lot of violent energy in this dream. Even though I will classify it as a nightmare it didn't feel all that scary. But the dream felt troubling and disturbing and weird. So, yes it is a nightmare.

Martina, I just had a thought, could this be dream about me taking revenge for what happened to me when I was 13 at Dickson Pool? It makes sense.

Hi Lindsay, that does make sense and this dream could very well be an outlet for your vengeful emotions connected with your experience at Dickson Pool. It’s interesting to also note the man has a pistol which is symbolically associated with aggressive male sexuality.

The pistol was a Smith & Wesson Magnum, so it had an extra long barrel, very phallic. The axe handle and bowling pin would be phallic symbols as well? What times do you have available? I’m off tomorrow and Thursday. Medical appointment 3.15 tomorrow. Funeral 10.30am on Thursday so probably not a good day. Friend of Penny’s. Friday the usual time slot. Let me know what works. Could we run the 2 dreams together?
