I had a strange dream... does it mean anything?

In this dream, I was attending party and I met a girl. She was platinum blonde, almost silver, and insanely attractive. We hit it off and we got very intimate very quickly.

Fast forward to some time afterward (a few weeks I assume) and we're now a couple. She's a redhead now (the hair color of my previous girlfriend) and is even more attractive than before, literally my dream girl, the best my mind could come up with. We're in my room and I want to get intimate again, but she's reluctant and shies away. I exit the room for some reason I can't remember, though it was because of some need, not because I was angry or frustrated. When I came back, she was naked, laying motionless on the floor, and literally every inch of her skin was covered in dozens of cuts. She was bleeding profusely, and I was mortified, so I rushed her to the hospital, tears streaming from my eyes begging her not to die. When I got there, the physician was convinced I was the one who did that to her and eventually raised his voice to me, attracting the attention of several other hospital patients and visitors, a few of whom began to agree with him. In the end I'm not sure if she lived or not, but I was questioning myself weather or not I did it as well.

My guess is I'm visualizing regrets I have about my previous girlfriend who dumped me, and my subconscious is coping with self-criticism and self-esteem issues stemming from the belief that my inadequacies somehow drove her away.

As an unrelated note, I looked like Nick Matthews from Get Scared in my dream. I don't know why.

    Many people think that dreams mean something. But that isn't necessarily true. Dreams actually mean nothing. Although it probably is not what you want to hear, but it is the truth! Although it may be disappointing but, modern medicine has proved that dreams are nothing more than a succession of images recalling past memory. I'm sorry if this is not what you want to believe.

    I will start off telling you that ALL dreams mean nothing! Dreams just express you or your emotions, they express what you feel and what you do in real life. thats why they feel so real. Dreams cannot create people, places and things thats another reason why they feel so real! dreams recall past memory, -for example if you see a person you don't recognize in dreams, you probably saw him before on TV or walking in the street (you probably didn't pay attention to them). Dreams express your emotions and thoughts in a negative way

    Nothing. The dream was about nothing. dreams mean nothing they just express your emotions and feelings in a symbolic way. Reoccurring dreams happen because you are having the same emotions thus they get re-expressed in a similar dream.

    Dreams are simple synapses in your brain firing off all sorts of things. Your brain gathers all this random information, sights, sounds and so forth. And as you are sleeping, these sights and essentially memories are jumbled up into one big mess, just random nonsense, and your brain works and works for an hour or so trying to create a nice little story with all of these sights and sounds because it wants to make sense of it. It wants to make sense out of nonsense! So, then you end up with this dream. This happens several times in one night but when you wake up, you forget all of them, and when you do remember one of them, when you do remember at least one dream, we try to make sense of it. We tell ourselves, what is this? What could it mean. When in reality, it means nothing, it is just complete nonsense.

    Dreams are a succession of images, ideas, emotions and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.

    Usually whatever I dream is whatever I'm thinking about before falling asleep or whatever is in my conscience like if I feel guilty or whatever.

    So maybe that's what happened to you..?
