An interpretation of executing dreams

An interpretation of executing dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Dreaming about execution can connect with something you’re dreading. You face a deadline. You fear failure. For some reason life as you know it is about to end, or you fear that will be the case, such as when an important relationship ends. Execution is “the end.” And it’s involuntary, a key reason that it’s used in a dream over other similar symbolism such as death, murder or suicide. For example, a college student about to graduate might dream about execution as symbolism for the sudden end to college life. Entering the professional world can require major lifestyle changes, and it can feel like a part of oneself is being forced to die. Or a bachelor about to get married doesn’t want to give up single life and feels like the fun-loving part of him- or herself is going to pass away in the process. Dreams about execution can be sparked by thoughts about mortality, or something that makes you fear sudden death. For example, you hear about someone you know who is healthy and happy suddenly dying. Or you think of your car as a rolling death trap. Along this line, health fears and illness can spark execution-related dreams. Life as you know it could suddenly be over if you get sick. You’re not dead, but might as well be. Dreaming about receiving a death sentence can symbolize feeling as if an ax is hanging over your head. Everything hinges on something important coming up. You have to make that sale, get that grade, or perform well in a tryout, for example. A death sentence is the ultimate punishment and can symbolize a severe consequence, or fear of it. For example, getting fired at work for making a mistake. You do something wrong or forbidden and have a guilty conscience. You fear getting caught. A death sentence is exaggerated, but it expresses how you feel. See: Dismissals It can symbolize the idea in the phrase “signing your own death warrant.” Something could be your downfall, or cause irreparable harm. To be condemned can mean resigned to an unpleasant fate or circumstance. For example, a bad illness can spark feelings that your body has condemned you. To condemn can be a harsh way of disapproving of someone’s actions, behavior, or character. Depicting it as a death sentence or execution is exaggerated but fitting.
