Re-occuring dream of a bloody classroom

For a year now, I've been having re-occuring dreams- creepy ones, that always make me wake up with chills. There are tons of them, going from kinda odd to just plain terrifying. Most come once or twice and then go away, but one just keeps comeing back and it scares the hell out of me. One that makes me wake up in a cold sweat,shaking hard.
I'm in a classroom, an unfamiliar one, full of people I don't know. Everyone is cold and empty, staring at the front of the room, looking at a chalkboard with odd writing that I can't understand. My best friend, Hannah, is sitting beside me, and she's the only one in the room that seems normal. It's like I'm both watching my body and inside my body, if that makes sense.
We sit there like that for what seems like an eternity, but it was probably only a couple minuets. No one in the room talks, or moves- it bareley seems like they're breathing (including me). We're all like statues- except for Hannah. Then, I feel something running down my right leg. I reach down to whipe it off. My meet something thick, like molassas, and sticky. When I pull my hand up my fingers are covered with black/red blood. My leg is covered in deep gashes, exposing the bone. Now of course, Hannah is freaking out,silently screaming for help. I tell her to be quiet, like this stuff happened to me a lot, and I turn back to the front. I looked at the blood on my fingers, and slowly put my index into my mouth. And I have to admit, in this dream, the blood is like nothing I have ever tasted. Hannah screams and a faceless teacher walks up and tells her to be quiet. I'm still licking the blood off my fingers.
The teacher says she'll bring me a bandaid, and leaves. Hannah is so speachless she just shakes her head and looks in front of her, her mouth open. The teacher came back, gave me the bandaid and left. I put it on the desk in from of me, and stare at the front again. Some time later the same thing starts on my left arm, only this time I SEE the gashes just apearing in my flesh. Now Hannah REALLY freaks out- she starts screamimg bloody murder. The teacher is back, this time asking her to silence herself. She says that she won't, not until I'm helped, and the teacher looked at her in a glassy stare. She suddenly goes quiet and looks forward like everybody else in the room. I lick the blood from my wounds and do the same. The teacher walks away and dissapears. Hannah is just like everyone else in the room; cold, empty, motionless. And it's the worst part; her just being forced into Submision. Her and I are like sisters, and we're both protective of each other. So when I see her being broken, it hurts.
I wake up then, and I can't stop shaking, and crying because I couldn't protect her. It happens about once every two weeks and I never get used to it. Dreams always mean something, but I can't figure out what this one means. If anybody has a theory, please tell.
What does this dream mean?

    these are called premonitions.. my mom had a dream once that her brakes in the car failed and she crashed into the harbour... she had the dream for a week or two then nothing.. a few days after it stopped she read the newspaper and just looked at me in shock... i read the article and it was the exact thing my mother dreamt.. at the exact same harbour in the exact same spot and the exact same way... its creepy... but no this is a sign of something happening. could be good or bad. just be more careful in what you do for a while and i think you'll be fine. just remember: the last thing you wanna do is obsess about it

    Sounds like you're feeling contricted or stressed, anxious?
    I don't know, if I kept having a dream as vivid and disturbing as this one, I'd seek help.
    I have a dream that has the same 'feel' to it, but is completely different. There a story on my page ("SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM!",lol)

    Dreams vary depending on what each thing you see in them means to YOU. Two people could dream the exact same dream and it mean something opposite or unrelated.

    If a dream keeps recurring and you can't find anything in your sleeping habits to explain it, there's something there you haven't figured out.

    It seems to me like you've had some hardships and Hannah has shown concern for you, but you feel as if something in your social environment, likely an authority figure, disapproves both of you having the right to feel your pain and of your friends for being sympathetic. That or you FEAR that's happening and it's not.

      I do love Hannah, but not in that way- I'm a strait girl. She's like my sister, so I've told her about the dream, too, and she thinks that it's a reflection of the hardships in my life. But, then again, I've never had anything happen to me that could translate to THAT... The thing is, this dream, its not the kind that changes subtly each time but still follows the same basic guideline; it's the EXACT same each time. Nothing changes. My fear never dies down, my mind doesn't learn to block it out,if anything those things are getting worse. Same dream more fear, same dream, more frequent.
      It's like the dream knows how to inflict the most damage, and it's stopping me from keeping it away. That doesn't make any sense, does it? Haha... I'm loseing my mind over a damn dream.

  • It could be connected to your feelings at the moment or inner stress. I believe that before you go to sleep, have a relaxing bubble bath, try to listen to a meditation tape as your going to sleep. I used to have the same terrifying nightmare every night at least twice but i began to listen to meditation tapes and story CD's while im drifting of to sleep and now i barely have the dream AT ALL now. :) hope this helped.

    dreams are crazy, and anyones interpretation might be right or wrong.

    have you ever told anyone this dream? the reason i ask, is that sometimes just telling someone the dream can make it go away. don't know why, but sometimes it works. maybe you could try that.
