I'm watching jfk in Dallas, haven't been born yet. Then it fades and I'm in a copse of trees in a depression with some other guys I don't know. We are armed to the teeth and planet of the apes kind of figures are slowly gaining on us as we run out of ammo and options.
Dreams can often reflect our subconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences. In your dream, several elements stand out:
Watching JFK in Dallas: This may symbolize a moment in history that has significant implications for society, change, or power dynamics. Since you mention you "haven't been born yet," this could reflect feelings of being a passive observer in significant events or how history impacts your identity and the present. It might also suggest a longing to understand the dramatic shifts in society or personal life.
Cops and Trees: Being in a copse of trees may represent a sense of isolation or a desire for shelter amidst chaos—trees often symbolize growth and stability, but in a copse, it also suggests being enclosed and possibly feeling trapped. The fact that you are with "some other guys I don’t know" indicates a sense of camaraderie or shared struggle, but also a lack of familiarity or comfort in that group, which could represent feelings of uncertainty about your social circles or companions in life.
Being Armed & Facing Danger: The sense of being "armed to the teeth" can reflect a desire for protection, control, or empowerment in the face of challenges. However, being pursued by "Planet of the Apes" figures—possibly representing primal fears, societal collapse, or challenges to humanity—suggests that you might be grappling with feelings of anxiety or threat. Running out of ammo and options could symbolize feelings of helplessness or exhaustion in trying to deal with pressures in your waking life.
Themes of Fear and Survival: Overall, the dream touches on themes of fear, survival, societal observation, and feelings of inadequacy. It could be a reflection of your readiness to face the unknown or to confront societal challenges, while also expressing a desire to connect with others during tough times.
In summary, your dream may be reflecting a mix of historical awareness, isolation in social situations, and anxiety about facing future challenges or threats. It reflects a struggle to find control and assurance in a world that feels overwhelming or chaotic. Consider what recent experiences or emotions may be contributing to these themes in your life.
