Last night I had this dream and its confusing, but here is the just of it. I was in a house and some family was there. Seemed to be like a western movie. Anyway we got word we would be ambushed so we all hid in the dark and waited. Sure enough this other family came and tried killing us. We fought back. Now this where it seems Im looking at it from different angles and Im not me, but some one else. So I watched as it seem I was tied up and the mother who tied me up was going after my daughter, who was now an adult. My daughter was going after the other daughter. I freed myself and jumped on my horse and caught up with her on the porch of the house we were going to. I shot her 3 or 4 times. I think turned the corner and looked in and saw both girls cooking and working together. I realized what I had done. I had jumped before I looked. I shot the woman knowing she was going to kill my daughter, but hadnt looked to see why she had stopped. Instead of the girls killing one another or hurting the other they had worked together. Now I dont know why I had this dream. My mind is filled with a lot of things and different emotions and Im trying to figure somethings out, but I havent had a dream that was blunt in a meaning. Look before you jump.

That is a really violent dream! I've never shot anybody in a dream. It seems to me to be about fearing that your family is being threatened, whether justified or not. Do you have any feelings like that? Like perhaps your daughter is growing beyond your control and it worries you?

No, my daughter is 8. I really think it was dont jump before you look. I know it was violent and I havent shot anyone before, maybe it was my minds way of getting it across to me. I have had some thoughts on my marriage and I was thinking of making some drastic decesions in my life, but wasnt taking in the whole situation and I think this was telling me look at everything else first.

you probably got out of the dream what your mind wants you to. It's perfectly normal for you to switch positions or view points when dreaming, i do it all the time.
from the description of your dream, you are probably having some issues in life that may or may not deal with your family, but you are probably feeling guilty for something, but your mind is giving you the answers you need for whatever is troubling you in your life. our minds are great things and we dream to handle the problems we have in our day to day life, which is why sleep is so important. when you remember the details of your dream, your mind is pretty much trying to convey to you what you need to know.

The situation is with my family, mainly making choices with my marriage. I love my husband but feel out of love and out of touch with him. he is gone a lot due to his job in the Navy, we have been together for 10 years married 8. I wasnt taking everything into consideration though and this helped me to look at the bigger picture. Im still figuring things out, but this dream was a God send.

I can't say why did you see such a dream, for knowing nothing about you and your circumstances.
But surely, dreams are expressions of sub-conscious mind and meant to express for what you are constrained by your conscious self. On this basis, you may try to understand meaning of this dream.
Some times, many unrelated things get mixed up with each other in a single dream, making analysis a difficult exercise.
