Kidnapped
On the surface this dream appears to be about a kidnapping. A woman and a girl are together. A man enters the room and grabs the woman. He is trying to kidnap her. She fights back. The man laughs at her attempts to free herself. He tells her it is useless to fight. “I have more power and strength than you”. See sees a baseball bat lying against the wall. She grabs it and begins to hit the man in head, over and over crushing his skull. There is blood everywhere. He is dead.
Then there is another smaller man who is trying to grab the girl (10 to 13 years old). She somehow pills a knife from somewhere and stabs the man several times. He drops to the floor.
End of Dream
Understanding the Dream
This is an unusual dream. In conversation with the dreamer what is discovered is that she is a college professor with an outstanding reputation. The dream seems to possibly be reflecting not the personal unconscious but a manifestation of the collective unconscious, perhaps highlighting an aspect of the political conditions in the United States and in the wider world at this time.
The dream is also highlighting the dreamer’s relationship with both the masculine and famine figures in her life This would be beneficial to explore.
