Attacked : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Being attacked

BEING ATTACKED AND DYING

Dreams of death and attacks can be really bizarre. One physiological explanation for this is that the brain with excessive data to process, makes random connections and coupled with the possible intense emotional state of the dreamer, could produce a dream of attack or death

• After the September 11 attacks, there were hundreds of people dreaming of future attacks, both mass attacks and individual attacks.
• The ancient Greeks believed that dreams of death and fierce attacks were indicative of ill health of the dreamer.

Obviously, the dreams do not portend death. Dreams of attack may be an offshoot of extreme anxiety, while death dreams are interpreted to be heralding a massive change in the life of the dreamer, to the extent that there is a sea change in his personality.

There have been clairvoyant dreams of death (Julius Caesar was specifically warned of the Ides of march, it is believed), which is always a rare coincidence

Dream FAQ Dictionary: Can people dream of their own death?

Can people dream of their own death?

A. Yes. This has been reported many times. The reports vary widely inwhat actual experiences are made when dreaming of dying; there seemsto be no common pattern. Most probably the prevalent influence isagain the thoughts of the individual about death. It can not befigured out whether dream-death experiences which match patterns givenin actual near-death experiences are just based on reading aboutnear-death experiences. Also, for instances of talking to deceasedpeople, God(s) or other "supernatural" entities after dreamed death,it can not be figured out whether they are "real" or just based onpeoples' religious belief (see also the FAQ for alt.atheism). Awidespread old wives tale is that when you dream of your own death,you will soon die. Given the usual understanding of "soon" (andconsidering section 5.1), experience has proven this false.

A sharp line has to be drawn between dreams of death and actualnear-death experiences. The latter occur in people with bloodcirculation failure just before they actually die, and sometimes arereported when medical art brings these people back to life. Whatconstitutes the real source of these experiences is still not knownfor sure. Dreams of death have no connection to this, they are likeall dreams just imagination.

Near-Death Experience, NDE:

Experiences of people after they have been pronounced clinically dead, or been very close to death. Typical features of the NDE are an OBE, life review, a tunnel experience, light, coming to a boundary (marking death), seeing dead friends and relatives, experiencing a loving or divine presence, and making a choice (or being told) to return. Occasionally NDEs can be frightening and distressing. NDEs often have profound effects on the person's later life.

DEATH

We should not dwell on the psychic envelopes that remain behind for those wraiths, ghosts, apparitions and so on who must make their way the best they can from the clues of their predecessors. Nor should we dally with the shells of the qlipoth attending the sephiroth. The normal soul for whom, from below, the gates appear as the gates of extinction and from above the gates of birth (or vice-versa) has no time for leisurely observation. Nor does the yogin, for whom death is merely a higher state of medi tation, require distraction. But we magicians should stop for a moment at the pylons themselves, at the door of the Abyss, the pause before lingam joins yoni, we should linger and observe the transitional threshold.

Death and sex are not merely metaphorically identical, but physically so. Since death (the second, total death, after the yesodic stage) results in instant rebirth, it is obvious that birth and death are the entrance and withdrawal motions of cosmic coit us on a slow-action timescale over successive reincarnations.

Jara-marana (Sanskrit) (from jara aging, old age from the verbal root jri to age, grow old + marana dying, death from the verbal root mri to die)

Old and age and death. The skandhas or groups of attributes -- everything finite in the human constitution which is brought over from the last life as karmic tendencies or impulses -- reunite at a person's new birth. They thus constitute his new personality, making the new person not only the child of the person of the last life, but actually a reappearance of that personality plus whatever changes or modifications death and the devachanic interval have brought to pass.

After the maturity of the incarnating person is reached, these skandhas which form the human personality slowly begin to weaken and separate in preparation for death. This process continuing finally brings about jara-marana, decrepitude and death.
