IMMA GET DEEP. okay, so murder is extreme, but i think it represents a kind of struggle with some other individual. shooting the other person is a very straightforward way (literally) of removing the problem, because you remove any chance of the conflict from recurring. in the dream, you haven’t been caught. you want to address the struggle, but you’re afraid of being punished, likely by regret, for it. and if it’s happened multiple times, this feeling may be a conflict you face regularly. you feel boxed in because you don’t make other choices. whether any of this is good or bad is up to you. but the dream version of you should open up to different avenues. so there’s the conflict aspect, but broadly speaking, maybe it’s a dream telling you to try something new.
