Nightmare

This is a post I made in /adv/ today. I don't feel like writing something different, so I'm posting it instead:

Last night I had a dream. Actually, a nightmare. It was brief, but I had a dream that I was in some sort of kitchen, where I saw a woman. Her body was completely still, but her head was violently shaking. Her eyes, from what I remember, were completely white, and her mouth was wide open. As she was shaking her head, a sword was sliding out of her mouth, blade first. However, the sword wasn't moving violently with the lady's head, which is a little hard to explain how it did that.

I woke up in a cold sweat, and held the comforters over my head for the rest of the night, hoping that I wouldn't see anything by my bedside.

I feel that this has to do with this one friend I know. I've had a crush on her, and have been friends with her for a few years now. However, a couple of months ago, I had a few dreams that made me scared to talk to her, partly because it made me feel that I would lose her. In the last month though, I finally got the courage to start talking to her again, and it made me feel confident.

What recently happened was that I had found out that she was dating someone. I don't know what it was. But... Hearing that she's dating... I dunno. My emotional side overreacted, and now I'm in a sort of slump.

I looked up some of the details about my dream, but all I found was that a sword can symbolize love. So what I want to know is:

What does /adv/ think of my dream?

tl;dr: Had a nightmare, possibly involves crush, what do you think
