I'm 16 years old and male if that's any way important...
From where I can remember the dream begins with a girl (about my age) and a guy (about my age, maybe a year older). I'm watching it happen, but im not actually there. The guy is inviting or somewhat accepting her to join a group he's in ( Made up of teens) who basically go around and brutally kill random people (I can assume mostly other teens). She joins it, but I understand her thoughts, and she plans to kill the entire group in case they choose to kill her.
The dream changes perspectives and I'm at home (I'm home alone cause my parents are away for a week, both in reality and in dream). I have to go to my garage to get something and find that there are 4 or 5 guys seemingly waiting (I recognize them all, random people from school). They are all carrying a variety of random blades, knives or swords. One, who I assumed was the leader was carrying, what I can only describe as a chainsaw katana sword. They start to beat me, but I quickly escape in a car and I drive far to a forest while being followed, I decide to escape on foot, but the two eventually catch up. I manage to fight and kill them, by using there disarming them and using their weapons. I decide to go back home to finish the rest off.
As I get home, I find the girl mentioned earlier killed the rest of the group, except the leader, shes not killed but knocked out.I charge at the leader but my weapons get destroyed, I the run inside my house, and am being chased. I mam age to find a small kitchen knife, avoid the swing of the chainsaw katana, and I stab and slit his throat and slash at his jugulars. It doesn't do much, he informs my that due to a surgery he had he can't quickly bleed out. And for what seems like a while he attempts to fight me and his upper body becomes drenched in blood, h it takes him about an hour to bleed out for his wounds. The dream ends with me talking to the now conscious girl about what had just happened.

Dreams combine our perceptions, preferences, desires, and fears with hallucinogenic processes of the unconscious mind. “Internally generated activity is modulated by sensory input (perception). … Asleep vision (dreaming) is perception not tied down to anything in the real world. … What we call normal perception does not really differ from hallucinations, except that the latter are not anchored by external input.” (pages 44-46)
“A popular model of the neuroscience literature suggests that dream plots are stitched together from essentially random activity: discharges of neural populations of the mid-brain (p. 139)”
In other words, things we see, hear, taste, or feel are incorporated into internally generated mental activity of a hallucinatory nature; therefore, dreams do not necessarily have any meaning; although they may reflect our perceptions, preferences, desires, and fears. And, self-absorption may be a symptom of depression.
