I dont know, maybe you have a deep fear of death and dieing young..
I have had a reoccurring dream about being shot. I have a 10 year old son and this dream started when he was 5 or 6. In the dream he was a baby in a rear facing car seat. He was in the back seat, my mom was driving and I was in the front passenger seat.
Its night time, really dark, We are in someones yard and the car we are in is turning around real fast like we are trying real bad to get out of there. As the car turns around to get out of there, I can see a trailer and someone coming out of it, It happens so fast I seriously cant make out the person or even if they are a man or woman.
As soon as the car we are in turns around (Cause to begin with the front of the car is facing the trailer) and the person comes out of the trailer, in a real fast speed and all at one time I hear a gun shot, see the windshield of the car shatter and feel a hard hit to my chest. As soon as I feel something hit my chest real hard, I wake up, have a ringing in my ear and my chest is sore for about 10 - 30 seconds.
I haven't had this dream in about a year or so but I have had it 5 or 6 times total. Dont know what it means but I have had many reoccurring dreams, Wonder what cause reoccurring dreams. Its weird how over a period of time every so often you have a dream you have had before and everything happen exactly the same way as it did before.
