I have a few different kinds of dreams.
Theres those that I call real nightmares and are the ones that I can't remember but waking up I know that whatever it was about most likely happened at some point in my life. these come in cycles and when they start they eventually settle into a pattern for example the one that I am having right now the pattern is nightly but more intense on thursday friday and saturday nights. this type is also accompanied with daily flashbacks. They keep coming until I piece them together and know what happened and then fade away over time. The flashbacks with the same content fade away along with them.
then I have the nonsense nightmares and dreams of things that aren't really happening and have not happened. Most times they mean nothing just my brains way of processing everything it records through my senses like last night I dreamt I was in a garden full of tulips and roses, drinking coffee talking to my mom. The tulips and roses came from visiting the local store for my daily walk and they had just got in a shipment of new plants so I helped a friend organize them into their respective groups, the drinking coffee - While in a memory piece I apparently made coffee on monday and it sure tasted good when I became aware and found the mug in my hand. Normally I can't drink coffee because of my stomach cancer so it was a definate pleasurable experience, and the talking to my mom came from an email she sent me.
Then I have the nightmares and dreams based on illogical emotions like one I frequently have every time my son is moved is standing in a black void screaming his name and nicknames because I fear he's dead or kidnapped. This one goes away once I know where he is. I know that he's not dead or kidnapped and because he's in locked residentail treatment facilities the odds of his being killed or kidnapped is slim to none.
Then I have those sexy dreams and I know they comefrom the wishful want to find mr right kind of dreams I love remembering those, because they let me know that yea I've been through hell but somewhere inside me I know that not all men are like my abusers and its ok for my body to enjoy those things that come with a normal non abusive relationships.
Then I have on rare occasions those dreams I call feel true come true dreams where for example I dreamed my son was in an accident. Two weeks after I told my friends about it my son was in a car accident being transported to a visitation with me a few years ago. glad those are few and far between, don't know what I would do if I was 100% psychic probably go crazy.
Then I have the true dreams where I will dream something that I did do while in a memory piece, like calling a friend and when I talk to her about it I find out that I really did talk to her and the content of our talks was what happened when I was in the memory peices.
