Love Story

This dream is rated R for incestuous relations and mass gore (so if you have issues with that, stop reading now).  All of my rules apply. You Have Been Warned!

     Today i had a very epic-movie-type dream.  I dreamt that I ( I was never in 1st person view, all of the dream was in 3rd person, but i knew i was him) was a guy, and one of the eldest of 4 siblings.  I had wavy (almost curly), short, brown/blond hair, was about 18-20 in age, had an athletic build, a healthy olive tan, a very effeminate personality (ie: caring, sensitive, submissive at times, yet a strong and healthy male aspect too), and brown/green eyes.  My eldest sister (about the same age range, long, golden, wavy hair, blue eyes, healthy slim/athletic build, and had a very bold and strong feminine personality) and I where the "main characters" if you will, so i saw alot of us in the dream.  We also had a little sister and a little brother, i didn't see much of them though.  The whole over all look of the dream was in the time of Jane Austin's books' era (old victorian Britain), but in a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen sort of futuristic sort of way, and at the end it sort of was modern times.

         The dream started out at the family summer house.  I don't remember anything particularity exciting happening there that is note worthy.  However, it was there that i "meet" all of my extended family (namely my very effeminate, lanky, tinkerer uncle, his wife, and my weirdly compassionate, old southern personality, chubby Aunt [she was pretty cool :)]).  From there, the whole family returned to our main house (which looked very similar to the house in The Others mixed with the house in the haunted house ride in Florida's Disneyworld [...or is it land? i can never remember :P]).  
        Here is where i can't really remember what happened, except that things happened really fast and were very epic in nature.  Our mother (who was very homely in a beautiful way in appearance) although she acted very motherly and was a good house wife on the outside, on the inside she was very sad.  Father always seamed to take her for granted and was hardly ever home.  Then one particularly dark night, with the moon shining very brightly in the sky, Dad had just come home with some particularity good news considering financial issues.  Mom was thrilled! She was so thrilled that she and dad had a love making session.  Afterwords our dad had to leave again (and little did we know, but he left us for good).  Mom had some suspicions that he was cheating on her with some other, younger, hotter woman.  When dad left, her suspicions were confirmed.  Our littlest brother was the only one who was unfortunate enough to be the only other one awake at the time.  Our little brother saw her and she was crying, and had a very longing, sad look on her face and she held in her hand a very long cord, with red beads the were spaced out along the cord at regular intervals (looked like this: ----O-------O-------O----).  She took the rope, while still in the presence of our little brother, and she hung herself from a wall sconce that was high up on the wall.
          Then the dream went to the next morning.  The whole family was up, but we saw that mom and our little brother was missing.  We went to go find him, and we found him in the same guest room in a rarely used part of the house.  He was standing outside of the room in the doorway, and he asked us, crying and confused, "Is mommy ok?"  We all went into the room very worriedly.  There we found mom laying on one of the 2 beds.  She looked very blue and pale, and her lovely vibrant, dark blond hair, had dulled almost to the point of being white.  We were all shocked and horrified at the same time (even more so then normal because her eyes were still open).  Then the most confusing thing happened.  She sat up, with that same look of a sad terror on her face, and her mouth was slightly open.  She was not dead, but she had severally damaged her mind in the process.
           The elders, being our uncle, his wife, and aunt, decided that it would be better to "put her down."  Our uncle constructed this red and yellow, 50's era looking sort of trailer dinner looking tank, that was about as long as a car, and about 1 1/2 people tall. Then with everyone around the tank in the backyard garden, we watched as our uncle's wife take our mother who was confused, yet had that same sadly, terrified look on her face, and went with her into the tank that was filled with water and closed the hatch behind them.  Our aunt held her breath as she achingly watched our mother drown.  Our mother was very calm though as a result on her suicide attempt.  After she drowned, our aunt opened up the tank and said that she wanted to stay with our mother's body and study what had happened to her to make her the way she was in her last minutes.
         My sister and I shared a bedroom, as did our littler siblings, and we made a pact then that we would always protect each other, no matter what.  That night we just slept in my bed huddled together to comfort eachother, knowing that we were now orphans and would have no one else to rely upon but eachother.
         Here the dream skips to a year later, we had moved in with our southernly aunt, our uncle, and his wife in their small house.  My sister and i had taken up jobs as house cleaners.  We worked with a team of other misfits and oddities.  While we paraded around as house cleaners, we were really a band of thieves that slowly, but systematically took everything and made it look as though nothing had been there in the first place. By this time, my sister meant the world to me and i meant the world to her.  We had fallen in love with eachother and were barely out of eachother's sight.  We both knew that we were odd even back when our mother was still alive, and we felt that we could only rely on eachother.  We in particular worked with this asian girl hermaphrodite.  She was a fun person to be with and she was our best friend.  
        One particular day, when we were doing our normal devious thievery, me, my sister, and our friend got done with our work early and we had found a particularly dark room and we were all laughing and giggling about nothing in particular.  It was then that our whole gang of "house cleaners" were caught by a whole police brigade.  
        Since we were out of the way, we were only found by 1 officer.  My sister, who had come up with an idea, lured him into the same room we were in with her beauty and a "slip" of her shirt off of her shoulder.  Then our friend, who was very beautiful and looked every-bit as much of a girl at first glance, took the officer and they began making out. My sister and i took the opportunity of the darkness to show our love to eachother.  
        Every thing went "smoothly" until the officer realized that our friend had male parts.  Then he started to freak out.  She held him down though, so he was unable to escape. in a sadistic sort of turn of events, our friend began choking him, which only made me, my sister, and our friend even more excited.  I craved my sister even more.  
       It was then that we realized why we always felt so weird, like we were not normal.  We did not have normal genitalia. i had those of a female (but it didn't really look like normal), and my sister had a mix of both female and male genitalia (they too were extremely distorted and melded together to form something that looked like no recognizable genitalia that i know of, although it looked more feminine because it had no exterior components).  This only brought us closer; made us want eachother even more.  However, our love making session was cut short because someone had heard the officer screaming.  They stormed in on us and managed to separate us from our loving embrace.  We screamed, reaching desperately for eachother, but to no avail.  I tried using bruit strength, but then they struck my head and i fell to the ground, unconscious.
         I woke up inside of a passenger submarine that was about the size of a cruise ship (and it was the style of the Nautilus from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).  I was in a rage.  The rage of someone who has been forcefully taken away from their love and soulmate. It was then that i discovered that i could control metal (much in the same way that Magneto can, but only i could not change it's shape).  I brutally killed the guards that were assigned to me, letting them stay alive long enough to feel the searing pain before i ended their lives.  I went through out the whole ship in much the same manner, becoming more and more sadistic with every kill, trying to find out where my sister was.  At one time i went into the passenger dining hall and found a very long bandsaw blade and manipulated it so that is wound itself around a table of people who were all involved in the capture of my sister.  Then i merely pulled on the blade and the bandsaw cut through them like butter, severing hands, heads, and torsos.  It was also at this time that i found that i could manipulate my form when related to water.
        I finally found my sister, and embraced her with passion, love, and relief that she was still alive.  After being relieved that we were both still alive, we both remembered that we were not done escaping from the Police's grasp.  After killing a few more guards who stood in our way, we finally reached the hatch through which we could escape.  However, we were underwater.  I could manipulate myself so that i could breathe, but my sister could not.  So i temporarily attached 3 small plates to her face (2 under her eyes, and one on her chin) and i used my powers over metal and water, to make it so she could breathe.  We escaped safe and sound.   It was then that we swam our way to land, and made our way to the nearest city, hand in hand.
      It was there that we happened upon a modern time mall.  And while we were exploring, we came upon some people who seamed oddly familiar.  It turns out that they were our parents and our uncles!  After our family reunion, we questioned what had happened to them, and why mom was still alive.  It was then that we learned that we were actually a family of elementals.  I was a water elemental, and my sister was a fire elemental, which explains why we loved eachother so much.  And with our whole family reunited, everything was back as it should be.  and then i woke up.
--------------------------------------
Important Elements
- The attempted suicide and death of the mother figure, and her later apparent rebirth.
- The incestuous relations
- The hermaphroditic themes
- The sadistic killing spree
- The elemental aspects

Possible Meaning
- Myself in the dream and my sister could represent my inner Anima and Animus and how they are both very healthy.
- The death and rebirth of the mother figure could represent an inner aspect of myself that was defunct, became crippled, and then was reborn into a healthy state.
- The killing spree could represent a destruction of a defunct idea or other conscious and subconscious issues.
- The elemental thing and how we were very harmonious, could mean balance, or balance with my inner Anima and Animus.
----------------------------------------

And there we go!  That was my dream and some posable meanings.  Please feel free to to give your own interpretation of it.  Feel free to analyze it using any means you feel suitable! :D (i use Jungian methods)  But thank you for reading!  I hope you came to some interesting thought or question :) I also hope that you enjoyed reading it :)
