Question
I have the same dreams where i am being shot all the time but last night i had a dream where I knew these people were after me and i waited for them to come and kill me, and they came, I turned my back so i didn't have to see them even if they were wearing masks,They shot me in the back and i could feel myself dying, but it didnt hurt, it felt like i was floating away, i was drowning in my blood but i felt at peace... very wierd but i just want to know what does this all mean...

Answer
Good morning, Charly.

The mood you describe in your dream is very calm - you have accepted that death is inevitable and are not fighting it.

When we dream about death and dying, this generally means that there is some life-changing event on our minds.  This stresses people out - even when the change in our lives is a good one, we still tend to worry about it because humans just don't like to change all that much.

If people were really coming to kill you, then it's very likely that you'd be fighting it - running away, hiding.  It would be stressful.  But you wait for them and let them shoot you.  So I believe that you have recently experienced a major life-changing event - or maybe you anticipate one soon.  And you have stopped fighting it - you accept that it's going to happen, and you are okay with that.

Pleasant dreams,
