What dreams may come

For the past few nights I have had a recurring nightmare, though slightly different each time. They possess most of the same basic aspects. In the first dream I am being stalked by a killer. He comes up behind me and stabs me repeatedly. I fall to the floor, but I am not dead. As he leaves, I silently screaming for two children to run. I assume they are my children. Then I wake up. In the second dream, the killer is imprisoned in a glass cage. He kills two people and escapes. I am walking with a friend and we see the killer. I lock eyes with the killer, then I wake up. So needless to say, I am not getting any sleep. I scare myself awake and can’t go back to sleep.

So today I decided to do a little dream interpretation, by way to the internet. I found the following descriptions in a dream dictionary.

To dream that you are murdered, suggests that some important and significant relationship has been severed and you are trying to disconnect yourself from your emotions.
To dream that you have been killed, suggests that your actions are disconnected from your emotions. Alternatively, it refers to drastic changes that are happening in your life.
This dream may also represent a part of you or your life that you wish would leave you alone and stop creating a nuisance. Killing may represent the killing off of old parts of yourself and old habits.
To see a killer in your dream, suggests that an essential aspect of your emotions have been cut off. You feel that you are losing your identity and your individuality. Alternatively, this dream may represent purification and the healing process. You are standing up for yourself and putting a dramatic end to something.

It makes sense to me. I think that it means that I am coming to the end of the healing process. Odd way to heal.
