8 foot tall skeleton named Bellum is shambling after my dad in the backyard. I tell him not to let Bellum touch him or he will die. Dad dodges Bellum for a long time but then brings him to chase me. I run away from Bellum into the front yard but realize that maybe he just needs a friend. So I hug the giant skeleton and it disintegrates
This dream could indicate a fear of something ominous or threatening (represented by the 8-foot tall skeleton named Bellum) that is following or targeting your father. Your instinct to warn your dad against coming into contact with Bellum, suggesting it could result in harm, may represent a desire to protect or prevent harm from coming to those you care about. The fact that your dad later brings Bellum to chase you could symbolize a sense of being pursued by this fear or threat, even if indirectly. However, your decision to confront Bellum by hugging it and the subsequent disintegration of the giant skeleton could suggest a resolution or attempt to find peace with that which you fear. Embracing the skeleton and ultimately causing it to disintegrate may indicate a willingness to face and overcome difficult or intimidating situations in your waking life. It could reflect a transformation or letting go of fears that have been looming over you, leading to a sense of resolution or acceptance.
