Ozzie, a while back in therapy I was working on allowing myself to feel angry. That's an emotion I try hard to stuff because I lived in fear of it as a child.

Once we got the anger down, we started working on getting angry at my mother, who abused me.

I have NO idea what I was dreaming except that my mother was in it, but one morning I woke up to find myself punching the pillow and screaming at the top of my lungs "F YOU! F YOU! F YOU!"

LOL think I was getting some anger out at my mother?

Since we have been working on the abuse in therapy, I have begun dreaming much, more more, not so much nightmares as recurring themes -- my parents are angry at me, my dad always sends me away, back to my mom, etc. I seem really to be dredging some stuff up. I really think our minds process things in the nighttime that we won't or can't face during the day.

Hope you feel better soon.

Candy
