Death in Dream

I just had a dream. *GASP!* A DREAM?! So in the dream, I’m in an area with the same layout as my college, but in the dream, this place was a fair at a park in a city. I’m wandering around helping out and a guy who’s my dreamworld-uncle is working at a booth. At the end of the day, he packs up his stand, and calls me over as I pass. Now, it’s that time in his life where everything his says is crackly and sounds strangled, so I didn’t care take notice of his struggling voice. He tells me to tell my grandma a message. (this is weird because in the dream, I wasn’t thinking of my grandma but just a general grandma person. Yea, atleast for this dream, the dream “me” knew these family members, but real “me” knew for a fact these weren’t even people from me life.) So his message was that he would come home later. He’d be back on a certain day but he never physically said the words, and I didn’t notice it was strange for him to just say the date. He told me to write down: 12/22. as he finished saying 22, he stuttered/repeated it a bit. I looked up to see what the heck was wrong. As I turned up, I saw his head drop infront of me(don’t get me wrong, he’s not beheaded, don’t screw up what I’m saying. I mean his body just fell, and his head just happened to fall in front of me.) Funny thing was I didn’t scream or get super scared. I just had a what-just-happened expression. I still had the scissors in my hand (yes, I carved the message into the booth, whatcha gonna do?) and I was just staring at him…I don’t know what happened, but I then found myself hugging him, too shocked to cry, and frantic to do something about the situation. My mind was surprisingly not racing. In fact nothing was going through my mind, no words were coming out my mouth, but I kept gaping. Then I woke up and my real world mind was watching the scene and thinking, “omg, this is the first death I’ve ever encountered and it’s right in front of me.”

It wasn’t real enough though because I felt no emotion beyond a sympathetic facial expression and the knowledge of this happening.

Feel free to interpret the dream, but I can relate a ton of this to stuff that happened today, so it’s probably just my subconscious making stuff out of memories and thoughts and imagination rather than a predicament. I just thought this dream was cool and I should share with you.
