I'm sitting on a sofa in a friend's house. Beside me are my 2 kids playing a hand clapping game. A man comes in holding a gun ready to shoot my friend. I calmly tell my kids to go in the other room. The shooter says "that's ok, they can watch this" and as I grab the gun sitting next to me on the floor ready to shoot the intruder, the floor beneath me gives out and I plunge to my death leaving my children to deal with the man and my friend
Dreams can often reflect our subconscious thoughts, fears, and feelings. In this dream, sitting on a sofa in a friend's house can symbolize a place where you feel comfortable and safe. Your kids playing a hand clapping game may represent innocence and playfulness. The presence of a man coming in with a gun and threatening your friend suggests a sense of danger or conflict in your life. Your calmness in directing your kids to safety may indicate your instinct to protect your loved ones in challenging situations. Grabbing the gun to defend yourself and your friend could symbolize a desire to take control and confront threats head-on. However, the floor beneath you giving out and you falling to your death may reflect feelings of vulnerability or a fear of losing control in a difficult situation. Leaving your children to deal with the man and your friend after your death could signify a sense of responsibility and concern for your loved ones even in difficult circumstances. Overall, this dream may point to feelings of protection, vulnerability, and responsibility in the face of conflict or danger. It could be helpful to reflect on any current challenges or stressors in your waking life that may be influencing these themes in your dreams.
