dreaming of strangers and not being yourself?

[ericabaaby]

what does it mean when you dream about scary events with people you don't know? i feel like i was watching but not really there in the dream and participating? i saw a woman who needed help but it wasn't anybody i knew and she kept transforming into a black dog. she was a murderer and phsyco? there was another kind lady whos lab was always scared of the black dog and backing off? neither of the people were me? i think it was all over a romance for a man though? strangest dream ever.
