Stay Alive to Win

Myself plus some twenty other students, all of which I supposedly knew and some I recognized, were all playing some deadly game. The goal was to stay alive; the two left at the end of the “game” were the victors. It was extremely Hunger Games-esque, which would make sense because I watched some of the movies recently. My classmates and I were in this large arena. It was reminiscent of a laser tag or indoor paintball area. There were places to run, hide, and fight. We could use whatever we brought to the game, weapons or bare hands. We were all in the middle of the arena. It was about to start. Suddenly, the bloodbath ensued. After I somehow managed to not fucking die, we all ended up on a schoolbus while the game was still in session. Everyone seemed to be on an uncalled for, collective timeout, but it wasn’t official. I was sitting across from one of my ex-friends, Makayla. I had been plotting to kill her since I knew she would kill me if I sat like a bump on a log. I was sitting next to Tom of which we’d run a truce. He wasn’t going to backstab me like I thought many of my peers would do to me, literally. I started freaking out, getting all nervous, but I forced myself to do it anyways, lunging at Makayla and stabbing her through the chest with a sort of hunter’s knife. She bled, but acted completely unphased. She acted white nonchalantly as I sighed a small sigh of relief. She wasn’t planning on killing me yet, so I had some time to try again.

You may feel overwhelmed by a situation or person in your life, and your dream is a representation of your internal struggle to maintain control and stay alive. The game could represent life, and the fact that you had to use weapons and your own strength to survive could be a sign of your need to remain vigilant and take action to protect yourself. The fact that you were able to fight off your aggressors could represent your inner strength and resilience. Additionally, the fact that your ex-friend Makayla was unphased by your attack could symbolize acceptance of the situation and an acknowledgement of your power.
