I saw a large black dog in my dream, it was trying to bite me. I held its mouth and closed it, for a while it became hard for him to breathe. I knew
I was strangling him, yet I didn’t let go. It died with its eyes open. They were black, shiny and looked kind of sad. Mom came up to me and I started crying. She held me and I cried on her shoulder saying “I didn’t want to kill him, mom. I just wanted to close his mouth so that he wouldn’t bite.”
Feeling bad, or guilty, about hurting someone in order to protect yourself?
