Another point I've foudn interesting is that "the boy" (the kid in the dream) is a recurring focus in my life, not just in dreams. Multiple people have told me that one of my spirit guides is a boy. I have seen him before, but I've never been able to communicate with him. I never think to listen out for him and I'm not entirely sure how to.

He has managed to communicate with me before through indirect means. At one point he got sick of not getting through to me and went to one of my friends instead to get her to talk to me.

I had a look in a dream dictionary:

Boy – About 8 to 10 years old. Kind of scrawny.

If you are an adult male and dream that you see or are a boy, then it suggests your playful, innocent, childlike nature. Alternatively, it can symbolize the immature aspects of yourself that still needs to grow. Your inner child may be trying to draw your attention to parts of yourself that you need to recognize and acknowledge.

Murder – I didn't see it happen, but I saw the result. The corpse was just dead, not mutilated or disfigured in anyway.

To dream that you witness a murder, indicates deep-seated anger towards somebody. Consider how the victim represents aspects of yourself that you want to destroy or eliminate.

Bully – The same age as the boy, a bit more plump like the bully's I had at school. Face down, almost out of line-of-sight in the room.

To see a bully in your dream, signifies repressed rage. The bully may be seen as your shadow Self which you have rejected.

Room – The room the bully's corpse was in was empty. This seemed important for some reason. The room was clean, had nice floorboards, was waiting to be filled with furniture.

To dream that you are in a room, represents a particular aspect of yourself or a particular relationship. Dreams about various rooms often relate to hidden areas of the conscious mind and different aspects of your personality.

To dream that you find or discover new rooms, suggests that you are developing new strengths and taking on new roles. You may be growing emotionally.

To see an appealing or comfortable room in your dream, signifies opulence and satisfaction in life.

To see a dark, eerie or confining room, denotes that that you feel trapped or repressed in a situation.

It all seems to point at bottled up rage. I'm not sure what it is trying to tell me. I'm good at bottling up rage, have done for twenty years. At the time of the dream, I was dealing with a very bad breakup and had a lot of rage towards the ex-. Strangely, she had similar dreams about death and theft and the same sense of it not mattering.

I think the dream wants me to change the way I deal with rage, to evolve it. So do I keep control over my rage, control being different to bottling it? Do I cease bottling it and let it spill over? Do I keep a firm hold on it should it cause myself or others harm? The part that intrigues me the most is the reccurance of "the boy".

I'm curious how others interperate it?
