What are They Trying to Tell Me?

[aphotic_one]

Five nights ago, I had a dream that I was hugging my mother tightly. Last night, I dreamt that my father was beating the ever-living shit out of my three brothers.

Why am I suddenly having dreams about my mother and father? What are the dreams trying to tell me? I haven't even thought about this kind of stuff in years.

I'm learning that when we are lonely or sad sometimes our brains go into this mode where we go over the past and think think think too much.
Mebbe that's it?
~hugs from me too.

Wow. What a dream.

When we repress feelings, they come out in many forms. And repressed feelings can give the wickedest nightmares....they can be truly terrifying, as well as confusing.

We cannot control how our mind works...after awhile, our brain can no longer deceive itself...that those thoughts do not exist, so the thoughts come flooding back through. We are forced to see visions from our past that simply refuse to die away or warped situations created from bits and pieces of your memory and fantasizes combined...it makes for a restless sleep, that is for certain.

Not every dream has a definite message to them...but if you have dreams similiar to these as the days pass...you may have some soul searching to do.

Uhm...thanks. :/

That pretty much validates my reluctance to discuss the other dream I had weeks ago. Even though I did not desire it in any way...it happened. And it was disturbing. So...very....disturbing.
