is this not the most awful dream you have ever heard of?

Ok hunny, well you must have drank a little too much last night or something cuz thats jus crazy!!! Have you ever dreamt anything like that before?

O.K -- Luckily I'm good at interpreting dreams First, what has been going on in your life recently? Because dreams reflect/release our worries or experiences we've had while awake. The world coming to an end means you are worried/and or under pressure about something involving people who matter to you.

Moving away from it as it closes in on you means you are starting to get control over the situation, or think you have finally figured a way out that pleases you.. The mother and boy MIGHT represent age [youth and getting older], or may represent something you feel threatened by -- for instance, someone sick or dying, or something you can't control.

As for the laughing, it's a release valve of your dreaming stress -- this dream is fraught with stress despite the comedic cheese n crackers. The whole dream is a dream about protection.

I have seen some appallingly and amazingly awful dreams posted on this forum, this one is pretty tame :)

I'm having trouble to get a line on an interpretation here, but it seems as though you have gotten past an emotional obstacle of some kind, perhaps pertaining to your relationship with your own mother. There is an expression of anger here, in addition to slapping the mother, you also slap the son, and it suggests that in addition to being mad at your mom, you were also mad at yourself. There is also an image of emotions held in suspension. Perhaps in this instance the problem ended in a stalemate, a grudging truce where you each just kind of back off from it, still maintaining your points of view, but leaving it alone to regain peace in the home and keep the peace. Think back to the time you had this dream, and see if you can find a situation of this sort.... you and your friends go on to have cheese and crackers, it sounds like "food for thought", you have gotten past the barrier, and "digesting" the situation....... the apocalyptic imagery suggests that whatever happened to change the situation was of a dramatic nature..... death in dreams is more often than not, a symbol of transition.......

In the last few years, I have had "world coming to an end" dreams too that are quiet disturbing.

Look at the symbols that mean something to you, don't take it literally. A car usually means how you get around in life, could be you are leaving something in your life that wasn't good.

Who do the mother and son represent?

A sociologist friend of mine once told me that bad dreams (if they are NOT obsessive) are actually a sign of good mental health.

It means that you are working out your negativity, hositility, frustration and anger at night in the dream state. That is what dreams are for, they are very therapeutic.

I'm sure you are a very morally healthy person. That fact you are appalled at your dream shows that. Really, unless you dream this over and over and over, take it for what it was. A little psychic steam venting.

That is a bad dream to have, but sometimes when you dream somethig it has the opposite meaing in real life. Like many people say that when you dream that sme one is dying that means they will really live a long life.

i had a similar dream but i saw the mushroom cloud and everything blow away right before my very eyes, people dying, buildings falling down, everything turning into dust, and to top it a huge asteroid heading right for earth, i was running around screaming looking for my kids but couldn't find them, it was the scariest dream i have ever had and it felt so real....(shivers)

yes it sounds like a normal dream but it most likely indicates you are willing to do what needs to be done in order for you to survive.

I've had worse.

My Dad who doesn't live with us tried to kill my family and he transformed into a rotweiller and it looked horribly like him.

I still get flashbacks :(

wierd. mine r always random like that
