What does it mean to dream in third person?

What does it mean if i kill someone in a dream?

• I had a dream the other night that I violently killed someone that kept changing face. He and a group of other people that kept transforming into snakes wanted to get me (kill me or make me one of their own, not sure) and at the end we all sat around a table and waited for someone we were expecting to arrive a 13:00 to arrive. She arrived and as everyone was calm, I started killing (stabbing him in the heart with a pen) this one person to my left that, at the time, was a boy in my class that I think is funny and nice, but that teases me a little (just to joke around). Then he turned into my dad. That's when I cut his artery on the side of his neck, because I knew he'd lose oxygen to his brain more quickly and die in less pain. Basically I didn't want him to be in pain, now that he was my dad. He then turned into a third guy that is an ex-lodger of my mum's that has become good friends, but that I try avoid because he (very discretely) fancies me. I think he was alive at that point. I vaguely remember noticing I was dreaming and as that happened I started waking up, so I forgot about it. Not sure if this was actually the case, or if I was dreaming that in another part of my night (Inception anyone? lol). What does all this mean? I don't know about that boy. I don't think I fancy him or anything like that. Thank in advance - I know it's a lot to read a crazy teenager's dreams! Haha :)

• Answer:

  I've only once, that I remember, tried to kill someone in a dream and it was because they were causing me a problem. What was happening was that my subconscious mind was trying to resolve the problem. I got to work the next morning (it was a problem at work ) and quickly managed to find proof of what I'd been trying to tell my boss the day before. I expect that your mind is trying to do the same thing. It's trying to resolve perceived problems with the people who's faces the dream person took on.
