My brother got shot for dressing as a werewolf

Date: 4/11/2018

To set the scene I was outside in a suburban street in America. It was a normal day and the sun was low in the sky. For some reason I thought it would be fun to dress as a wolf and scare some people. Or even just be a wolf for a bit. It was like a furry suit but it looked more realistic but gave more a werewolf vibe than a wolf. I couldn't see well but I was able to scare a few kids. One little girl ran crying. A few minutes later she brought her mom back. I freaked out and tried hiding behind a large tree, which seemed to work. She dismissed the girl and walked away. I hastily took the costume off and left it, a pool of fur by the tree. I walked around the street taking in the scenery, people watching, whatnot. I heard a child scream and went to go snoop. Apparently my brother found the suit and had the same idea as me. I snorted and let him deal with any parent trouble. I saw a man striding down the street looking out of place. He had a cavalier hat with what looked like a civil war uniform on, a black French mustache and goatee to match his wavy shoulder length hair. He had a pistol in his holster and one in hand, and he moved with intention. I asked him, "What are you doing?" trying to keep up with his gate. "I, my sweet child, am ridding this town of a werewolf" It took me a few emotions of 'this man is a looney' 'oh my a werewolf must be dangerous' 'oh must be a prank call' before I realized. Oh my God he's gonna gun down my brother. I tried distracting him, reasoning with him, heck I even tried bribery. He slowed down as we reached the tree I left the suit. "For God's sake that's my brother!!" He stopped for a moment and turned to me and in the most ridiculous accent ever said "Then god have mercy for both o' yers" My brother hearing the commotion walked into the open with his hand up, still wearing the suit but standing up. He slowly took the wolf head off to show he was human. The man didn't say anything for a while and then in a blink raised his gun and fired. My brother dropped to the ground and lay there bleeding, I ran straight to him and kneeled beside him. "Silver bullets see, gets em every time" was all he said before leaving. My brother gave me a 'seriously?' face before dying in my arms

AI generated interpretation In analyzing this dream, it's important to consider the symbolism and themes that may be present. The dream seems to highlight themes of identity, fear, protection, and sacrifice. The dream begins with you dressing as a werewolf to scare people in a suburban American setting. This could symbolize a desire to play with different identities or personas, perhaps seeking attention or excitement. The act of scaring others may also reflect a need for power or control in a situation. Your brother deciding to wear the werewolf costume as well could represent a shared desire for adventure or risk-taking. However, the presence of the man with the pistol and his intention to "rid the town of a werewolf" introduces a sense of danger and threat into the dream. The man's determination to eliminate the supposed threat of the werewolf, even after realizing it is your brother, may symbolize a fear of the unknown or perceived threats in your waking life. This could indicate feelings of vulnerability or the need for protection, as well as a sense of powerlessness in the face of external forces. The use of silver bullets to kill the werewolf, a common trope in werewolf folklore, may signify a belief in traditional or supernatural means of dealing with perceived dangers. Your brother's reaction and subsequent death in your arms could represent a sense of loss, betrayal, or sacrifice in the face of perceived threats. Overall, this dream may reflect underlying feelings of vulnerability, fear, and the need for protection in your waking life. It may be helpful to explore any sources of anxiety or perceived threats in your life and consider how you can address them in a healthy and constructive way.
