Hey, so this is my first post. I have had no luck trying to figure this out and dreams have become something that interests me, so I thought I'd join this forum. Anyway, I was hoping someone could tell me what the dream I had lastnight means?

I dreamt that it was midnight and that I was walking around the hallway upstairs in my home. I looked out the window and all these helicopters appeared in the street and started to fly up around everyones houses and they were shooting at eachother. All of the houses were exploding and being set on fire. I wasn't afraid, I just stood there in amazment watching it all happen. Then I went downstairs and my mum was awake too in the pitch black, looking outside. She saw that it was starting to snow (in real life outside of my dream, it's winter but not snowing) and then her ex-husband (my former step-dad who abused my mum and was very evil, I'll leave it at that) was walking around the street. I got her out of the room and told her to go into the kitchen. I went to the kitchen to get a knife because I saw him walking towards our house, and then he peered through the letterbox so I tried to stab him, and then he got a knife out and tried to stab me through the letterbox too. But at that point I was aware that I was dreaming, but it felt so real and then I woke up.

Does anyone have a clue as to what this could all mean, especially with the helicopters shooting eachother and with my former step-dad? This isn't the first time that I have dreamt about him since my mum split from him 11 years ago.

Except in some obvious cases, I think people can't be very good judges at interpreting other people's dreams. Try to think about the events, feelings and thoughts you had during the dream, and relate them to fears you have in your real life, to things that have happened, or feelings that you experience. If a feeling you experienced in the dream reminds you strongly of something you experience in real life, it's likely your mind got the situation from that event in your real life.

The only obvious 'meaning' I observe from your description is that you have a distrust, maybe even a fear, of your stepdad. Not everything needs to have a meaning. The helicopters might be a metaphor for something, or your mind entertaining your fear of chaos and destruction. Or maybe you just dreamed about them because you've recently heard about some aircraft battle, or maybe the fact that your mom was in the dark while you were watching it fearlessly means you feel bad that your mom doesn't get out much, or maybe it was completely random. If you can't figure it out, I doubt others will be able to.

Trying to stab one through a letterbox is a powerful symbol that speaks of your fear that he may come back and re-create war for you or your mom via any form or means (the mail=a form of communication). The helicopters are powerful forces that can hover/linger longer than other kinds of crafts. The bombs are a symbol of lethal levels of force. You need some reassurance that you (and your mom) don't have to go through that again. It is coming out of your subconscious right into your dreams. See if there is anything you can do, or your mom can do, to make more sure of the protection you both need.
