I was in a street with shops with what looked like a refrigerator and a washing machine, both covered, to the left of a shop doorway. I didn't recognize the area.
A very frightened woman ran passed me and seemed to be waiting around there to my left throughout the dream.
A man wearing a very long coat was walking down the street, coming from my right. He had a gun under his coat, down beside his right leg, almost out of sight. Someone said “He's got a shotgun” and the woman said, “It's a rifle”. (I got the feeling she said a 22). He was walking calmly and then I think he started yelling. I got the feeling that the frightened woman was his wife.
He shot one person and then a man standing in the doorway of the shop said something to him and the gunman shot him. Then he started to shooting at the covered items several times and definitely yelling at this point. There were people hiding behind these covered items.
Every time someone said something he shot them. He shot other people as well: people seemed to be falling all over the place.
I was in my 4WD ute with my dog. I didn't know whether to slip out and hide beside it or to lay down and hide. I thought about starting it and driving off, but thought he would riddle it with bullets.
Note:
My dream was short and sharp but seemed to be in grey tones, possibly a very dull grey day.
It’s unusual for my dreams to be that violent. I had to take 1/2 a sleep tab last night and I don't know whether it has anything to do with the dreams or whether leaving my mobile phone turned on, laying on the bedside table, (after I thought I had it off) has affected my dreams.
