Think of it as your subconcious now shouting instead of just telling you.

I think you should examine the dream and try your best to remember what elements seemed important in the dream. The tribal nature of the dream? The method used to kill the victims? Typically, you 'know' things in a dream, such as which details are important and which ones aren't.

Once you have a list of important elements, start trying to think through a story that unites those elements. I have dreams about my teeth rotting, crumbling, and falling out of my mouth. It took me a while to figure out, but it was my subconcious mind's way of telling me not to be so harsh with the words I use with people when I get angry. And I had one about having AIDS one time. No, I wasn't gay in the dream. In a way, that was kind of the point... that I was being too judgemental on people with AIDS, gay or straight. And I have one A LOT where I get blown up by a timebomb. Usually means I'm taking too much on and feeling under the ticker...

I remember in the dream knowing that the tribe or the tribe killing the tribe was somehow jewish. Maybe the dream was based on some of the genocides that god commited in the bible? Following what you said, the best thing I can think up is "Even if its just a tribe, its still genocide".

The kind where you try to run but you move in slow motion (why does that always happen?).

As a runner, that one always makes me mad.

Or being a Teenager, and having naughty dreams, and I'm like man this chick is so hot, and then she turns around and its Jerry Garcia...

I always have some sort of nudity or soft-core porno in my dreams. Even in the dream I told about, their was some (I just choise not to say it).

Analyse this:

You're walking home through a dense forest, there are a great many vines about.
Clumsily, you trip through one - only to find it a brightly-coloured, poisonous snake.

The creature's bite, you avoid - and on your hands and knees you scramble forward - coming face to face with a snake which whips you upon the arm.
You stumble back, and forth, and each step takes you right into the path of a newly-coloured, more vicious snake - and the others now move out of their way to attack you.

Snakes cover the ground of the bushland - like a writhing carpet now - and you try and leap over them, placing your legs within the gaps, but they soon close and your leg becomes trapped as each snakes bites your leg, some coming high enough to grab your back.

Breaking forth of those on the ground, you scramble up against a tree, and are hit and battered around the face as more hang from above - and you fall amongst the seething mass on the group, strange and hideously striped and coloured bodies covering you and constantly whacking you at every opportunity.

When at last no avenue of escape presents itself, and your heart from the desire to leave that place behind begins to pound excessively - and when you manage to bring your head high enough above the striking that you can make out the many thousands of deadly serpents that surround you - then you realise your body's adrenaline fails you - and death sets in.

And as your lungs struggle to set aside the poisonous affects of so many - each horrendously painful bites - you awake.

A recurring dream of mine, I've had it perhaps seventeen times.

It's rather difficult to show in words just how psychologically harrowing that disastrous situation is - and how painful each bite is - not only the feeling, but the very sound of that wallop against you.
