Last year I graduated 8th grade. Near the end of the year I began absolutly hating my egotistical male history teacher.

Around that time I had a dream where some of my closest friends and I all were given AK-47 rifles and sub-machine guns by someone (this was right after I had seen the Matrix). After we acquired the weapons we all got on a school bus and drove to some unknown place in the woods. When we got there we saw a huge grizzly bear with my teacher’s head. Everyone took aim out of the buses windows and blew hims to bits.

I was wondering, do I have a craving for violence or was it just a way to release my emotions?

Hi Jeanna -

You seem like a nice enough girl. I don’t think you’re naturally violent!

But I do think you were sick of that History class!

If you have a dream of killing someone, it usually means you are angry with them, and want them, or what they represent, to go away. In your case, I think you were just sick of your teacher - and so were a bunch of your classmates. Uhhhh... And watching Matrix the night before probably didn’t “calm you down” any.

Aren’t you glad you get new teachers each year in school? I don’t think you could have handled another year of the “grizzly bear.”
