Analyze this!

So here's my dream last night.

I was Tom Sawyer! And somehow I got hooked up with his scary old man. He took me in and we lived on a river. There was a younger boy that lived with us also. I was about 12 yrs old and the other boy was about 5 yrs old. At some point the old man killed someone. I didn't see it happen, I just saw him put the man's body in the river and it floated past me. Only the man wasn't really dead and he got up and came back and killed the old man. Then he started chasing me and the little boy.

We swam down the river. Going like crazy trying to avoid this zombie looking guy. We would run sometimes and swim sometimes. We finally ran into someone else, a couple of other little boys who helped us. We came to a water fall and then some rapids, but lucky for us there were some underwater steps that lead to a cave with a bunch of rope bridges that went all over. So we went in there and hid until the zombie man found us.

At that point he had a gun and he shot at all of us. We all fell into a big pool of water acting like we were dead. But really we were under water using hollow reeds to breath through. But the zombie man thought we were dead and left. Then we thanked the other boys who helped and went back to where we lived on the river. At that point I woke up.

So what does it mean? I have decided I was all three people, the crazy old man, Tom Sawyer, and the little boy. The old man being who I am now (10 days away from being 40). Tom Sawyer is sort of my emotional self. In alot of ways I never really grew beyond my early teens. I tend to hide that away, don't want to get hurt. And then the little boy is my inner child.

It seems like the actions of my 40 yr old self is affecting my emotional self and my inner child. They are having to scramble to protect themselves from the craziness I cause. What do you think?

The 40 yr old thinks it is a big load of crap, but you never know.
