Episode 185 The Dream Show: I shot a kind woman

Pat, from the Chicago area of Illinois, is my guest asking about a dream where she shot her daughter-in-law. “Why would I shoot such a kind person?” she asked herself both in the dream and on waking.

It’s a short dream, but we get so much out of it, as you’ll hear. We explore the dream location of the shooting, the way they were sitting just before Pat pulled the gun, and how she felt in the dream. We look for clues and we find plenty that lead us to uncovering the treasures this dream holds.

I mention, during the show, that I’m frequently contacted by worried young teens who dream of shooting a parent, so we take an aside to discuss this too.

Pat, a group psychotherapist, encourages her clients to bring their dreams into the group sessions, and she enjoyed the opportunity to focus on herself and one of her own dreams by bringing it to The Dream Show.

Pat also brings questions about her dreaming life, some patterns she has noticed, wondering how they relate.

Listen as we put it all together, connect this dream of four years ago that has stayed so strongly with Pat to a situation in her early childhood and an issue that is ongoing in her life today, and apply dream alchemy to find resolution.
