Just another "Golden" Perspective: Dreams

So umm..i had another dream, A nightmare actually. I was being shot at, AGAIN.
The weird thing this time was that i didn't DIE.
I actually got the courage somehow to jump on the back of the attacker and stab him in his throat.
When he fell to the ground i kept stabbing him, hoping he would die but he didn't, until i stabbed him in his heart. It was like his off switch, because he stopped moving instantly. Just as i started walking away i turned around i saw a bullet coming towards my heart...but before it got there i woke up.

Now every couple of months i keep having these dreams. =s
and everytime i end up dying, this time i didn't...
WHY?
Why was "the heart" the highlight of my dream and not death? Or maybe it's a message...am i unconsciencely stabbing someone in their heart? and now in some form or fashion karma's coming back to get me?

Honestly i'm not sure...
I have a boyfriend and he's one of the best thingsto ever happen to me. And i don't think i could be stabbing him in the heart.
I have a brother and at times i treat him like crap but at the end of the day he knows that i would be hopeless without him.
I've found a crazy group of girls that i can call friends, and i know that i could never jeopardize that.

SO..if everything seems to be okay in ones life, why do our dreams tell us otherwise?
