In my dream, I was almost hurt by my social studies teacher. She tried to run over me with a car, and as I ran down a little hill, a couple was walking up there, and I tried to get their attention, but didn’t try very hard, and they went up. As far as I remember, they didn’t come back up in the dream, but my friend ended up calling the cops, and my teacher was arrested. She didn’t even put up a fight, it’s like she gave up.
The next part of my dream was in my uncles house (it didn’t really look like his house though) and he was playing pool. He was really quiet, and so was I. He acted like I wasn’t even there, and then the killer opened the front door and he just like walked right passed my uncle and got a gun out of a case. He made my uncle get in his truck and went down one road. I tried to escape, but every road I went down was a dead end. I don’t remember who it was, but somebody told me that he was back to get me, and I started to run, and then just woke up. I’m still pretty jumpy from it.

In such light the social studies teacher could represent your thinking and feelings about have to be a good citizen as has been thought to you but that you may not as yet made your own – The primary purpose of social studies is to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world.
A Car is often symbolic of the ideas, hopes, dreams that drives us. How we get to where we want to go. A car can also be symbolic of how we like to be seen moving through the world, sporty, reliable, rich, practical….
In you’re dream the social studies teachings is trying to hurt you by running you over, suggesting a disconnect with what you have learned with how you experience the world or want to. You escape by running down hill suggesting that this issue won’t be solved by setting lofty goals or reaching some new heights but instead downward into inward self reflection. You wanted to help others but you can’t help others until you help yourself /know and own your truths which at some level you know.
There is a ‘friendly’ quality of the self that wants to protect you by calling the cops. Cops are often symbolic of the societal rules we live by and enforce. Suggesting an expectation that the societal rules will protect you… yet there may be some conflict between the rules and your ‘Social studies’ expectations.
In the next part of the you’re in your uncle house. A house is often symbolic of the Self as a whole, all the rooms and such represent different qualities or attributes of the dreamer. That the house was not yours points to an issue of the self that you have taken on, Inherited, that you relate to, but may not be yours. When you think about your uncle what are the first things that come to mind? What do you relate suspect does not see you?
Pool is a game of skill and knowing the angles does that remind you of anything?
A gun in a dream can represent as symbol of power, control, aggression and or defence. In the dream, you are being threatened by the killer with the gun suggesting a confrontation. Such confrontations bring about consciousness. The ego fears death as an end and so often views change as if being killed, hunted by a killer. But death is necessary to life. We must let go of the past, of what’s not working for us so that we might grow and continue becoming. Such letting go is a kind of death.
Its you uncle who is made to get into the truck.… no mention of you being made to get into the truck. In the dream, have you become your uncle at this point? You are looking to escape but every path so far is a death end.
A Truck is usually used as a work vehicle. Perhaps your tying to work though this issue by “working” your way through it – going up hill – perhaps thinking that if you do what others expected of you, put your noise to the grind stone and bull dog your way though everything will work out) the dream suggesting that this is not the right road to take. “Doing” is not going to help here but ‘being’ might. Taking time to connect to your authentic self and taking ownership of what you believe may be the way. Trust your intuition, learn with an open mind.
September 21, 2017 at 1:08 pm #169695BraydenParticipantThe house that my uncle was in was very small. The pool table was the only thing in decent shape there. When the killer walked in, he didn’t even acknowledge me, and my uncle didn’t acknowledge me the whole time. I also noticed that all the dead ends were ended by either houses or fences. And know looking back, I realize that I didn’t even ask anybody for help, it was just me trying to run away. And of course I could have gone over the fence or around the house, but I didn’t I just turned around and went the other way. Can you explain this?
September 22, 2017 at 10:28 am #169859PeterParticipantIf the house is a symbol of Self – The house that the uncle being small could indicate that you might be feeling confined trying to live in a self that is not yours and to small. Teachings and learning holding you back instead of expanding you. Because of this a part of you may feel like no one “sees” you, your authentic self – perhaps pretending to be someone you’re not. (You may not even be aware of this part of yourself that wants to be expressed)
The dead ends indicate a problem connecting to your house/self and that some thinking or feeling is blocking you.
The solution is a new perspective, perhaps stop running and hop a fence or two and go around the houses. You don’t have to face this issue head on
If the dream was mine I would say that I was experiencing tension between what I was taught to think, and beliefs I inherited about how Life should/must be – with my experience of life. And or perhaps my thinking and beliefs might not align with how I’m living and what I do. My actions not matching my words
In order to belong and be accepted by my community/family I might be resisting making the tension conscious. Repressing the authentic self… going along to get along and avoiding any confrontation. This issue tends to be associated with identity (who am I if I rejected by our community…) which is why the ego (small i) might fear it – with the subconscious expressing that fear as being hunted by killer.
