Sorry to raise this back from the depths of the never-realms of old posts - but thanks for the reply again EOT.

Just to continue this on as i had sort of the same dream two days ago (only no dinosaurs). Does it mean anything else that the person who you 'take the bullet for' is always the same person over and over again? It's somebody really close to me personally and it's always them i seem to 'sacrifice' myself for. Any symbolence to that at all?

From my original posting, I quote:

Quote:

To dream that you are yourself shot frequently represents a form of self-punishment that you may be unconsciously imposing on yourself. You may have done something which you are ashamed of, or are not especially proud of.

You then asked:

Actually you have effectively already answered your own question. There is obviously something about your relationship with this person who is close to you that you are not only not proud of, but you are ashamed of.

I believe that the dreams mean that by you constantly sacrificing your own equally important needs in order to constantly please everyone else all of the time, and by giving over your personal power to this other person, you may now feel that you have set yourself up to be hurt or disappointed over and over again.

Symbolically the things which have most been wounded are your pride and your self confidence? Beating up on yourself without compassion and mercy is only likely to to make matters much worse.

Giving or sacrificing is said to be divine (only up to a point), but if we continue to always sacrifice our own needs for another person's benefit (take the bullet for them), we deny them of valuable opportunities for their own personal and spiritual growth. Some things which we do for others would be much more effectively learnt if they did it for themselves instead?

Hoping this has helped make things a little clearer,

Namaste,
