If anyone has any thoughts on my dream feel free to give any opinions that you may feel are relevant.

Last night I had a dream that involved a large scale argument between a group of people that I've never met, I was observing the argument from a 3rd party perspective.
The argument escalated and became very heated and I was expecting to see a physical altercation unfold but the dream cut away from that scene and I witnessed large explosions that were followed by mushroom clouds, they seemed a lot like nuclear explosions.

This disturbed me and woke me up, so I went for a piss and then went back to bed only to have the same dream again, I actually think I had that part of the dream three times.

Then the dream moved on to a second phase where I was with a group of people (again people that I don't know) where I was presented with a meat cleaver. It was a casual situation which I just assumed was a BBQ and the meat cleaver was needed for preparation of meat to be cooked on the BBQ.

For some reason I took the cleaver around the back of the house & when I was there some cops arrived and I overheard them talking about searching the place for a murder weapon. When I heard that I panicked and took steps to clean the cleaver of any fingerprints that were mine and then I heated it with my cigarette lighter to be sure. Then I snapped the handle off the cleaver and hid the separate parts in places I didn't expect that anyone would find ever them. I really thought that I'd been set up by the stranger that handed me cleaver.

I woke up in shock after the second part of the dream and couldn't get back to sleep.

It's all quite bizarre as I almost never remember my dreams, especially lately as I've been drinking way too much in an effort to subdue some rather intense pain I've been suffering from an ongoing injury. The alcohol tends to suppress most of my dreams.

Any ideas ?

Well that went down like the proverbial brick in a swimming pool - 4 hours and not one response.

Maybe everyone is too blissed out from their easter egg hunts to contemplate the subconscious manifestations of my twisted mind

I can make some sense of the second part of the dream that I mentioned above - that seems to be an allegoric reference to an intrusion of my privacy that has recently been revealed. I never consciously suspected that I'd been set up for anything but maybe my subconscious mind has different thoughts on that matter.

It's the first part of the dream that doesn't make any sense, I haven't had any real conflict in my life in the recent past. I've had one minor disagreement on a trivial issue that was settled amicably but no conflict as such.

conflict, anxiety and being worried about false accusation...

it seems very personal

Hmm, wild dream, . I'd guess anxiety, concern over conflict, especially escalating conflict that can result in violence, false accusation and guilt.

Dreams are interesting things, eh?

These are just guesses based on surface content - I don't know you and am no expert at this.

You are your best dream interpreter. Our subconscious speaks to us symbolically, filtered through our personal experiences, beliefs, and interpretations of life.

Keeping a dream journal is very helpful in identifying patterns. If you don't do this already, I would highly recommend it.

Rather hard to really see the truth in some one else's dream no knowing him, but i would think, as almost my dreams are like it, that you have some past unsolved task or some feeling that has been lost in you and its trying to alert you

Personally, I would never ask someone to interpret my dream on an online forum. Perception is very subjective. I would only ask Madre Ayahuasca herself.

He he, Nexus is not at all like any other online forums. We are a family, with all the good and bad that that term implies. We are radically connected via the morphic field with psychedelics as our catalysts, or however you want to think of it. The longer you stay here (if you choose to do so) the more you will see what I mean brokensprocket.

I will be here for awhile. I plan on my first DMT experience to be during an Ayahuasca and San Pedro Retreat in August.

I have never taken psydelics before, except once during a party back in high school 25 years ago.

I found this site searching the internet for Santo Daime in the USA. I followed every search result Google gave me.

Thanks for the input guys

The stuff I'd read on web based dream interpretation sites seemed to indicate what people had said here too, but it didn't really seem to fit in with the circumstances around me at the moment so I thought I'd ask for other impressions.

Coincidently (I'm not saying this is connected to my dream) a dispute erupted almost outside front door last night involving several of the neighbors and a few out of towners - all known gang members. Knives were produced and people backed off. Then threats were made by the strangers to the effect of...

I'll come back when you are asleep and blow your F*ing house up
