I had this strange dream last night. I was sitting in the back of St. Casimir's Church during mass with my Mom, Dad, Aunt Marcia, and Uncle Pete. During the transubstantiation a Native American wielding a bow and arrow burst into church and starting threatening to shoot the arrow at someone. Not verbally but with his body movments. He aimed at Fr. Bill (who kept doing his thing). But as the man aimed ad different parts of the congergation they ducked. When he walked toward my family everyone but me ducked. "I said go ahead, it's my birthday," I don't know what I was thinking in the dream. Maybe he wouldn't shoot me if it was my birthday? Any way, he proceeded to shoot me with the arrow aiming for the throat. The arrow only grazed the right side of my throat, but it hurt like no other. Yet, there was no blood to be seen. The dream went on for a while after that. But the later portion of the dream is hazy.
According to the dream moods (an online dream dictionary) being inside a church represents seeking spiritual enlightenment in your own life. It can also mean debating your path in life. Family means security warmth and love or it could mean interdependence on family. Seeing a Native American in your dreams represents "instinctual and untamed aspect of your character. You desire more freedom from cultural and society restraints." A bow and arrow "To see a bow and arrow in your dream, represents a combination of female and male energies. It may refer to your libido or some sexual energy/desire. Alternatively, it symbolizes anger, aggression, or tension. This dream symbol may also be a metaphor that you are aiming for perfection." "To see a priest in your dream, represents your spiritual needs, sense of morality and religious beliefs. You are looking for some guidance. It also symbolizes chastity and abstinence. You may view sexuality as immoral."
I'm thinking the overwhelmingly spiritual aspect of the dream corresponds to my feeling of spiritual lost-ness as of late. And questioning my life path goes well with how unsure I've been about what I'm doing with my future and trying to analyze my goals and dreams. This analysis often times leads me to feeling a bit more lost and unsure. (Gosh, that sounds depressing!)
