An example of what I'm talking about, is a few years ago when I saw my "uncle" (he's not really my uncle, but he's so close to my dad they're like brothers) and fiancé, I would always have nightmares of me somehow messing up the relationship so he hates me. These nightmares literally made me fear doing anything with them in real life, like, I don't see them often cause they live far away from us. But I'd have nightmares for the first 6 months after seeing them. Now, I don't have any.

A current example, in fact, one I just now had, was about my good friends parents hating me. In This nightmare, I went inside of their brand new car, and me not seeing anything there I sat down, as we were driving, I looked down, and saw I caused the nice leather seats to be damaged because I accidentally sat on their dogs pee and poop (for some reason they had a bowl just sitting there, my dreams are weird lol). As we were driving, I tried to clean it up as much as possible, because it had also left a black ink type design of Mickey Mouse. I didn't clean it up in time, so as I got out, I showed my friends dad and he freaked out. That's when I woke up from that dream.

Now, probably, because I had that dream, I'm going to be paranoid of doing anything with there car while driving to the specific location (I didn't mention the location because that will clearly state where I live, but it's at a specific ice skating place here in my big city).

Dreams hold such power over me for some reason. Like when I had the dreams of my uncle and his fiancé, after I'd wake up, I'd always ask my dad if they liked me and no matter what, i would feel they disliked me.

Another example is I had this dream that occurred one block from where I live, it happened at night, it was a nightmare. So when I actually had to walk through that neighbourhood in real life, I was honestly terrified, I ran the whole way to my home almost. Even if I have a nightmare in my own home, like, this wasn't just any night, but it was a night I slept extremely weird, like, I went to bed at 10 PM, then woke up at 1 PM, and when I woke up, I was actually scared of going upstairs (my room is in the basement) because I had a dream that something happened to me.

My questions are:

Why do dreams hold such an unusual power over me and is this normal?
Why do I dream about me ruining different relationships as I explained in the first few paragraphs of this post?
Should dreams hold this much power over someone?
Why is it that the two correlating parts between the two families (uncles family and friends family) is money? (I feel like that sentence doesn't make much sense, but ill just leave it)

Edit:

I just figured something out, the two dreams I had with my uncle and his fiancé and my friend and his parents have one correlation, both of them are wealthy. From what I can remember, those are the only two people I've had nightmares about that had me ruin a friendship. I didn't have just one or 3 nightmares, I've probably has 10 different nightmares associated with each family (my friends family and my uncles family).

Also, I feel very out of it right now for some reason. It's hard to explain. It's kinda like I'm not myself.

I think sometimes my dreams represent parts of my hidden thoughts and emotions but then, overall, most of the time they are just dreams (or nightmares.) I use to be a little obsessed with figuring out the meanings behind them. Believe it or not, therapy helped me deal with them--not dream interpretation therapy, but, therapy that focused on my past and current feelings about real life events. That really slowed down my dreams/nightmares....D.

Dreams are actually given much more creedence in other cultures and religions than they are in western society.
I believe dreams are a pathway. They are symbols, they have meanings and they're trying to communicate. But we always take them at face value and dreams do not speak in waking language. I believe they are trying to teach you something about your fears.
Something you may want to try is getting a notebook or using a journal, if you have one, and just recording your dreams as soon as you wake up every day. Or in the middle of the night, before you go back to sleep, if you have one that wakes you up. Give as much detail as possible. Record them in present tense...'I am walking down the road and all of a sudden...' As if they're happening right now. When you review them they will seem more vivid and retain a lot of the dream-magic, and be more likely to trigger clear recall.
Do this for awhile. Say, a couple weeks or a month. Then go through your journal and read the dreams back to yourself. Highlight any ideas that stand out to you. Are there patterns? Themes? What feelings and memories and thoughts do they bring up for you? THIS is the language of dreams.
I have learned a lot about myself from my dreams. It might be worth looking into if you're still struggling. Or even if you're not.

I don't have any answers for you, but I think it is definitely affecting your day-to-day life. I think exploring this in therapy is a good idea. Take care.
