A dream, sometimes, is a pretty solemn occasion. Imagine you’re going to sleep and then you’ve been visited in your dream by a terminator. If you are someone who’s afraid of being killed or shutdown, dreaming about being sorry for yourself can symbolize that.
Some people are afraid of the future because of what they see in their dreams. It’s not that they have any power to change the future events in their dreams, but it’s the thought of what might happen that scares them. Do everything in your waking hours to do your best and survive the present moment, even if you feel like you are being hunted by the terminator at every step you take.
