Reply To: I had a dream

Mammele: Thank you. From what I remember, I desperately went to find a BB gun as a last resort (which I think I took from my neighbor and sibling… who IRL used to “play” with them when they were young by shooting target boards) and I don’t really remember if I woke up or just went on to another dream. It was terrifying and crocodiles (and alligators) are one of my biggest mortal fears. G-d forbid forbid.

Last year, I had a dream that I was on a bus plummeting towards the earth and literally said the entire shema in my dream before it crashed. I died in this dream and was a ghost or spirit afterward (could see my mother but I was dead and she couldn’t see me).

I know what to do if G-d forbid I was facing death, but the crocodile thing was yes, a moment when I felt the need to kill someone before being killed myself.

Thank you. I know that this was about a real dream, but it also asks about what I would do in real life. If I was more religious, would I respond differently in an emergency like this.
