I was an only child so no brothers exist, but I do have cousins that have disowned me for the last 12 years, perhaps this dream came from our lack of a relationship...??


Poem Artwork

 My brothers, both, I killed,

It had to come to that, it was willed,

The first went with my trusty over-under,

It took both barrels, doing him was a natural wonder…

 

The second I did by hand,

It felt so good, he was down & out for the count,

Now I alone can run things, no longer the family band,

No longer must I share the family land…

 

Both screamed and whimpered like babies,

Just touching them made me fear for rabies,

But to get rid of them gave me power,

No longer was I the cowering wallflower,

I had now been empowered.

That was some dream, Ed. Luckily for me, most of my dreams are such that I want to fall asleep again so as to continue them, and sometimes happily, that happens. Love and peace,

Regis. 😊🍁🐟

This was a pretty wild dream, Ed! I've had some dreams that I wake up shaking from and some that make me want to keep dreaming. You've got a new name, "Ed the Head"!!!!

Love ya!

I've had dreams of hurting someone. The same someone. Anger can reside in our subconscious and raise its ugly head when least expected.

Once in a while we have to dream bad things, just to clear our minds for the reality we live in. But that doesn't mean these dreams are of anything we have done or will do. I'm sorry to hear that your cousins have disowned you. Perhaps you can reconcile in the future.

Johnny Cash once wrote, "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die." I am reading a book about Johnny Cash now. He never killed anyone but he sure had others thinking he did!

Thank you for sharing.

A stranger and interesting dream. It is hard to know what they mean; but one thing for sure, the literal meaning is not there.
