Impending Doom

This dream comes from a contributing fan via email...

         I was scared for my life running through a dark old field of red blood; blood was everywhere.  There was an extensive fire up in the sky, flashing lighting rapidly and the air was stale with the death. Blood was dripping from the sky, and spitting flames in every direction. There was absolutely no where to hide. Stuck in an open field; the field had just been harvested leaving no trace of the original crop but the hard clumps of dirt from the plants that had been recently uprooted. 

Throughout the sky flew these huge helicopters that are used to transport fifty troops at once. There were no soldiers in these helicopters only the remains of human flesh. The mangled bodies intertwined with each other laying bloody, broken, and bruised. Stacked to the ceiling the bodies moved lifelessly with the pitch of the helicopters. The helicopters are hunting and they are looking for me. The feeling of impending doom overwhelms my heart. I looked to the sky above me and saw nothing but these massive helicopters filled to the brim with bodies; boasting their large whale size under bellies.


I ran for shelter, taking only a small child with me. We found salvation under a tree from the swarm of helicopter blades beating above. 

Lighting flashes and I know Im no longer safe...

Fire 

Depending on the context of your dream, to see fire in your dream can symbolize destruction, passion, desire, illumination, purification, transformation, enlightenment, or anger.
