i dreamt i was a soldier in an army sent to infiltrate another nation/place?? where there were like these group of corrupt and scary ass people. They were residing in my grandparents house (from my reality) and had took many hostages. I had tried multiple times to escape but always got caught and tortured each time. This one time, my loved ones and some of my loved ones and some people i know come to rescue me, so i have to hide them and make them escape. My mother gets caught, and im literally crying and begging for them to let her go and all. And they tell me there's one way for that to happen. They all undress theyre literally old men and make their way towards me, probably to assault me. i run, and almost escape but see one of these guys. He's young, around my age, but He's a sadist and for some reason extremely fascinated wtih me. He tortures me mentally and physically in horrible ways. he catches me, and threatens to kill my mother. But i fake loving him and shi to deceive him and promise that ill never leave him, be his pet etc. etc, my mother leaves and runs away somewhere. Idk what happens after, but somehow i escape that hellish place after shooting one of the guys. I then run into many refugees, escapees and some soldiers, we find that most of the place is filled with those corrupt guys soldiers. We somehow find a hideout thats safe, and i bond w my mother and hug and cry her, while also meeting my other friends and family. But those old men had a group of people following us, and also the sadist guy whos obssessed with me. We manage to kill the guys, and i vividly remember stabbing, punching and killing the sadist guy. I wake up then
This dream could potentially indicate a feeling of being trapped or overwhelmed by oppressive forces in your waking life. The presence of corrupt and scary individuals in your grandparents' house, a symbol of safety and security, may suggest feelings of vulnerability and invasion of personal space. The repeated attempts to escape but being caught and tortured each time could signify your struggles to break free from a difficult situation or negative influences that are having a significant impact on you.
The appearance of your loved ones trying to rescue you symbolizes support and concern from those close to you. Your mother getting caught and you begging for her release might reflect feelings of powerlessness and desperation to protect or save someone important to you. The disturbing scene where the old men undress and move towards you could represent a feeling of being threatened or violated in some way in your waking life.
The young sadist character who tortures you mentally and physically may symbolize your own internal fears and anxieties manifesting in a form of an external threat. Your strategy of pretending to love him to deceive him could suggest a need to adapt or find ways to cope with challenging situations.
The escape and encounter with refugees, escapees, and soldiers in a safe hideout could indicate a desire for security and solidarity in the face of adversity. The final confrontation where you kill the corrupt individuals, including the sadist guy, might represent a desire to overcome and defeat the negative influences or challenges that have been tormenting you.
Overall, this dream could reflect feelings of being overwhelmed by external threats, power struggles, and inner turmoil. It may be helpful to explore these themes further and consider how they relate to your current circumstances and emotions in order to address and overcome any underlying issues causing distress or fear.
