What is it with my dreams? I have one continuous dream that really upsets me, and I really don’t understand why I have it! I mean, it is not like anything triggers or there is any relation with any reality, I just have it all the time! It upsets me and gets me down.
I am living with my parents, and usually there is something that sets arguments up, and normally it’s with my mom. The arguments are strong and fuelled with anger. I feel trapped because I want to move out, but I don’t have the money or resources to do so and feel really, really frustrated. I usually wake up believing that I am trapped and it takes me some minutes to realise that I am in my own place, live on my own and don’t have the constraints that I feel in my dream.
Now, the thing is I don’t argue with my mom. There have been issues between us but they have been resolved and I feel in peace (or so I think!). I have told her about my dreams and we both don’t know why I have them.
If they didn’t upset me so much, I wouldn’t mind, but they always bring me down in my mood, which I am fighting hard to keep as up as I can.
Well, I thought I would tell you about it to see if you have any dreams that get this feelings for you.
Do you feel trapped in a different way that you're not consciously thinking about so much, so it's projecting into arguments with your mum?
ReplyDeleteAlso I find that whenever I'm really stressed - even if I'm not consciously acknowledging the stress - I will have dreams where I am really frustrated & stressed and let out my frustration in some way. I can't remember what the thing stressing me out in real life was, but once I dreamt my dad had cut off all my hair. In itself, just a bit weird and not that nice, but in the dream I raged and screamed at him for absolutely ages. I couldn't contain it. And that's not like me at all. I am a very calm person. But this is not the only time it's happened that I've let out that much in a dream when [unrelated] stress has been bubbling away under the surface.
I hope these dreams'll stop for you soon!
