It's a dream about death. Like his dad saying " I'll make a fire for when you get here" Heaven or Hell?

His dad was a lawman and both Tommy Lee and his father reached a point in their careers where the violence they were seeing in their life overwhelmed them to an incomprehensible point.

I believe their purpose in entering the service of law is to make a difference. How sad it must feel to work your whole life to do good - only to realize after all those years that you are trying to tame a beast that is all-powerful and unstoppable, no matter who tries to stop it. Tommy Lee retires feeling like he did nothing, instead of feeling like his whole life's work meant something.

I felt like at the end - Tommy Lee worked himself to the point where he saw the violence being an unstoppable force that he was never going to conquer - nor is anybody going to in the future.

My honest opinion of the film ending abruptly after the dream - there is no happy ending in life. Violent men will continue to be violent. It will go on forever....so would the movie. So stopping it suddenly smack that point across your face I think.

I really loved the foreshadowing of the end by Tommy Lee telling the newspaper story of the couple with all the bodies in their backyard. Great moment in this movie!

Fantastic Movie! Never met a Coen movie I didn't love :-)

I agree, Great Film, that was a very coen brothers ending, i believe that they just wanted us to see tommy lee, retired with nothing to do, very bored with his life, and simply talking about a dream he had with his father. I dont think the dream itself had any meaning behind it, i personally think that they just wanted you to see how bored he was talking and talking about the dream until it just completely stops and thats it..

the dream just meant that he had reached a point in his life, just like his father had, when it is realized that they cant do much more because the bad guys are just better.
