a strange dream last night :
i saw my cousin brother in a dream ,who was killed in an accident 17 yrs back.
i was 10 and he was 13 when it happened

i never got to see his deadbody and never knew where he got hit.

last night i saw him looking 30+ years old and having a scar on his stomach.
i met him at his house (?)

later i was brain leading a war and opponents were trying to talk nice to me and pull me into their side.

ppl in war were using bows and arrows but also modern bikes to ride on(no horses)

i was using a bow which was huge and ppl were fighting for my bow

i was discussing war strategy with my team and 2 ppl standing 10-12 feet came from other camp and asked me to join them

This dream seems to be a guidance dream in many ways... I am still looking up where it was in the book that I found the image of seeing people older than they are (or were) in waking life.  I always find this stuff when I am looking up something else and can't find it when I need to.  Anyway, with the scar on the stomach this suggests a healed wound on the processor of external to internal.  You meet him at his house - as your guide he is bringing you to the circumstances of now.  Also, his age being older seems to reflect now too.  Then you say "later" in the dream is the war image.

Ok so I see a time table of your dream.  For one, it looks like you have healed somewhat or corrected the way you internalize things other people try to influence upon your thinking.  Meeting him at home seems to suggest you and your internal world which is why I say this.

Now, moving forward in the dream, in life, and the events that seem to be taking shape or coming to a boil in the world around you (or inside you - this could all be inside your inner world so i will probe that aspect second - to me i thought this was a dream indicating a little heads up notice of things to come and with the image of this big brother friend and ally it is a sure sign of positive assurance in what it says) anyway there is conflict and there are people trying to sweet talk you and trying to influence you.  You are the big coveted bow, though.  And you are right not to let them tear you down.  The bow is your mental capacity to guide and we see this literally when you talk sstrategy.  The arrow is action but you seem to be the guide and strategist and mentally efficient one who leads here, without letting others sway your sound-minded judgement.  This keeps you in the postion you are in - the respected one who is larger than them (large bow) and above it all.

This being a family member, I wonder if a family conflict is on the horizon...

Ok now here is an alternate interpretation.  It is hard for me to tell which is the one to go with because I can't tell what emotions were involved but that is ok - you know and that is all that you need to know to tell you which is which.  If this was a troubling dream because of the battle (and it did not sound so but say it were) then it would mean that you should perhaps stop saying negative things to yourself.  It is not your fault, you ar enot to blame, the parts of you that need affection and love are not silly and foolish and you do not need to rationalize your emotions away you need to heal them...

i thought i would pose that point in case you are not really getting into detail about how bad this felt.

anyway, it sounded like you were victorious and felt good about that so if i am accurate in that assessment then you may not recognize those inner voices (or you may but you may have already told them to shut up long ago when you realized where or who or what situation they were caused from - which would be a positive way of bringing voice of reason to emotional blockage)

onnnne more thing you may be grappling with if this was a negative emotion dream of guilt is moral code vs sexual desire or sexual power.  you say you had a bow... you didnt say you had a big arrow nor did you say you used it so im  not sure this is the case but if it is did you sense yourself as the good guy? bad guy?

im not sure that is what you told me so i will let you interpret it that way if appropriate.


notably, though, the dream ends with you talking strategy when you get solicited by the other side.... that is important to me in that it is saying this is an advice dream.  and the weapons used were bow and arrow and they were the old kinds of weapons which links to past (family foundation or people from your emotional upbringing who possibly could use emotional blackmail or whatnot to get you to come over to them.... but likely not cause you are stronger) and also the arrows literally say "this dream is pointing to something.  When you have the bow you can guide this correctly - when you have arrow you are on right track.  arrows at you - conflict directed at you.  no matter what this conflict will involve you and people will try to direct it at you.  you will have to bring it in - so to speak - and keep out the bad influences and use your reasoning skills here - you are right.

the arrows point to you.  

arrows make it say future as well

i think there are issues or is an issue to contend with.. whichever of the above it is i hope this shed a little light...

still trying to factor in the incongruous bikes.  their incongruity made them stand out meaning important.. could be something cyclic in your life - a theme coming back you will face with a new strategy

battles say "growth opportunity"

your cousins presence also makes this dream stand out as important.  i think it means important message for you - listen up!

and i think the message is some guidance from your inner wisdom.

in the face of    dont let them drive you    or bring you to    you also need not    when you can    which is essentially a    with integrity....

haha that was a little emoticon story i hope you got it and liked it and i hope it even pertained to what your dream really meant

im feeling a little fuzzy these past few hours.  not sure if im just tired or if the eclipse hid my subconscious - or maybe i just suck at interpretations in the waning moon - because im just not sure enough to assume this is an emotional dream even though i do understand that seeing your cousin did sort of bring back the feeling of how you did not gain much closure on what happened and he was essentially a brother to you so that must have been a significant wound.  i realize i didnt address that but im not sure this was indicated as the message for you....

anyway.  bedtime for me... goodnight

that was a great attempt tracy
i got what i need to get from your little emoticon story

few arrows were aimed at me but my arrows aimed at them were bigger and stronger

still the mystery behind seeing image of seeing people older than they are (or were) in waking life remains though

during that dream i was tense when i was talking to my cousin but he was relaxed
i was holding a metal object in my hand to control my tension in dream

suddenly wokeup to see a metal piece in my hand. i left it on my bed before sleeping

ahh should have known there was more to that - strange with the metal and connections to cousin...

my first instinct was - maybe he came to you

i think you might know why

i think you have strong dream imagery



pretty cool!

Sounds like you had an interrupted broadcast from your war games.

You may have had contact with the other side.

Your cousin's brother has aged since his death!

Are you able to find out if he did get hit in the stomach?

I feel you might be comfortable with war games?

Do you do role play games on the net etc?
