Firstly I have been watching American Horror Asylum and a few other things this week like Supernatural so hopefully it just stems back to these tv shows...
DREAM ONE This menacing Uncle Fester look alike had this obsession with these two sisters between 18 and 22 with dark shoulder length hair slim builds only every chance he got he would grab the oldest and literally cause some physical harm. eg.broken wrist. And I couldnt help but wonder if he may have gone beyond hurting someone at some stage. I was like a bystander seeing it all, but like a movie. Anyways this menace to society (he really was) eventually abducted these girls and had them in this mansion of a place which was rather lavish and fit for the elite. Dont know how but both girls made it to the door towards freedom, but on t urning back HE multiplied into 10.
I knew then....it isnt one...there are more and those girls had no chance at all!
Next dream....this father, 7 or 8 yr old son, and a police officer are in a booth at a bar/pub only in whispered tones. (Something is amiss and not feeling right). Next thing just the boy is left with the officer and the man is leaning towards the boy trying to stroke his arm or whatever he can touch. And then he snatches the boy!
Birds eye view...I can see this officer with a 2 or 3 old in a bedroom not doing anything, but the feeling or vibe just isnt right. Its like he is about to jump on the top of the toddler in a scare tactic or something.
Alot of abuse in this dream and physical most of all. All these young ones felt fear and not being safe whereas the villian and officer were on power trips for their own self satisfaction. I found both dreams disturbing...really did.
Will think on what they might mean....
MY TAKE:
Not sure about all the abuse, as in has this been literal in your life in some way, or symbolic for something. Are you perhaps interested in working with abused or neglected children? Know someone that was, or is there a story that may have deeply affected you, as it was close to home.
Or maybe you would rather avoid certain things as you dont want to be abused or mistreated.
Interesting we have a crooked policeman and a bad criminal like felon that both like to harm youngsters....TWO BAD MALES at that...and not blood related. Power trips and control were extreme with both of them.
Were there perhaps "adults" not related or definitely not your parents that may have been bullies or unfair with you at some point in your life or came across as being aggressive and cruel. Trying to make sense of these "men' and one that really speaking should have been trusted by kids (everyone) yet was a predator in the worst sense. eg The Police Officer.
Like someone in a position of authority, but abusing and taking advantage of that position.
Not sure if you can relate to this, but it truly has been one of the most unsettling lucid dreams I have ever had the misfortune to dream and I have actually been very tactful what I have written here as I saw more than what Im saying and would rather not revisit.
YDM42's dream is similar without any abuse! officer is in the front, other person in the back. there is a power divide there.
Sorry you had a bad dream for me DownUnderNZer (((DownUnderNZer)))
Well I have never had abuse in my own life and never been abused by an authority figure. Friends of mine have had nasty incidents with the local police and other authority figures (with later cover ups and all) and so I do have a slight lack of trust for them that they always do the right thing, if that makes sense. But nothing like this.
I had a long search on google this morning about all the parts of the dream. If you remove that I haven't had previous abuse there is some symbolism left.
The abuse could be that someone is taking advantage of me or feeling victimised. not in the same way as in your horrific dream
dreaming of witnessing abduction could be helplessness. you were helpless to do anything
the children again (common theme for me). before children were in dangerous situations but always were okay in the end. sadly not always in this case. still wonder if that is inner child
I don't want to work with abused children really but would like to work in social work or rehabilitation of people. never thought about with children though!
I was bullied quite a lot in my childhood, perhaps this is something about that
Some more off tangent meanings of abuse in a dream from around the internet - trouble and hostility with the people you live with (or in a block, the other residents), feeling insulted and also a court case!
really interesting I had a positive dream last night that I can remember! I was with a really nice future male partner who was dominating, like he took the lead in the relationship. However it was not abusive. It wasn't a negative thing
Will have to think if anyone is taking advantage of me and think about the power element some more.
