Lately, my depression and other life events which triggered it have been bleeding into my dreams. I wake up feeling worse, affected about what I saw, did, and felt in the dream.
If you need to dream vent, please post.

last 2 days I've dreamt about my exes. the heart break and coming to terms with the emotional and psychological abuse triggered my depression. I can only remember last night's: that this ex appeared in the middle of a square and was trying not to hurt me . he along with some thugs surrounded my car and started scratching it. I tried to maneuver around. I got out and chased all of them down, beat up the ex in a rage and he allowed it to happen. apparently it was all a movie scene he was an actor in. I was the only person who didn't know. but they used me because i had natural rage against him and it was good for the movie. he of course made out with a good scene and made lots of money for starring in the movie. I felt angry and used. as the movie wrapped up I searched for the manager, bc someone had to pay damage to my new car. I got brushed off with a fake yeah we will take cared it . I woke up After that. now I'm awake going over this last relationship that ended 1 week ago (different ex) and figuring out that he did mistreat me big time. I jut feel worse . used, sad, and alone. my stomach hurts, feel like I want to throw up

I keep dreaming that I've had a baby. I'm not pregnant and I'm single.
Before that I kept dreaming that I forgot where I live and don't know my way home. Very strange dreams. I don't know what they mean. But they are reoccuring dreams.

I have been having weird dreams lately. I think that most times, I do anyways. Last night I had a dream that I was back home where I came from. A couple of times I had dreams of going to a place with a group. One of them was a group that gathered outside of school (I think that I was in Jr. High) and I just took off by myself. And then I went to the beach right near my home (l lived along a beach) and then found a place where I could hide. A couple of guys found me. That's all I remember.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad your dream was positive... and it relates to your mom? that's amazing. when I dream of my dad is the best... feel like he's there with me. I hope those dreams Continue in your life.

hmm... did you wake up feeling good or bad? sometimes it's how you wake up too that determines whether the a dream is good/bad

I'm glad you asked! It seemed like the setting of the dream was nice. It was at my former home where I grew up in the northeastern part of the US. I woke up and then it was about time to get out of bed. I got up crying a little bit. I've had some crashing depression lately. I woke up feeling like if I've had an hangover; but I was not drinking on the previous night.

I can't pinpoint why the depression has come on. I guess it's because I've come to the realization that I'm alone; but I've been alone for a good while and it hasn't bothered me that much. Maybe the dream just reminded me of what a loner I am. Also, I have depression because I dread the future so much of what's going to happen to me; and I always get depressed a lot in the springtime.

Almost all of the time, I do not remember my dreams. But I just happened to this time.

I wonder if you dreamt of that time period because it provides the setting where the world was ahead... where you could do anything, maybe a place of comfort? a place or crossroad with unlimited potential to define your life however you want?

I've come t the realization that I'm alone, it's hard to cope with. I would like to have your dreams. I've been having dreams of my exes and all the emotional things they took away.

.. I'm not sure a both the guys fixing you.. could that be symbolic of adulthood?

I dreamt that I had been cursed by someone (but I didn't know by whom for some reason). The curse caused me to see "death" aspect of things. So I could see evil demons and ghosts floating threw the room, which, in my dream, had always been there but normally you couldn't see them. The curse was posed on me bc I was guilty. For what I don't know.
I knew that if I would be with another person, the ghosts would disappear to my eyes and wouldn't take me with them.
So I went out of my appartment (still in my pyjamas, it was early in the morning) to ring one of my neighbours living on the same floor. But then another person stepped out of their appartment and saw me in my pyjamas. I felt embarrased and somewhat humiliated. End of dream.
I have always dreams about being guilty.

Could you elaborate on this last sentence? I couldn't quite understand it. I'm sorry.

It's funny that after all of this time from having that dream, I'm still thinking about it. Actually, in that dream where the two guys saw me, I hid up against a cottage on the beach and the two guys were supposedly roofers working at an adjacent cottage. This was at a place that was next door to where I lived.

I have to add that there are occasions when I have dreams about being back at where I came from in the northeast (I'm in So. California now). And most times I dream about my parents, who have long passed on. It was a resort business on the beach that my parents owned; and I worked and lived there. Most times the dreams of being back there are not pleasant. I guess it's probably because I didn't enjoy living with my parents that much. And they were pretty hard to work for. But there were some good times there. I don't miss the place at all. Well, maybe just a little bit. It may be a very long time before I could go there to see it.

That dream just happened to be mostly nice, though, because my parents were not in it. And the scene was pretty. It was on a beach next to the water and seeing boats out in the horizon. It was just like I was actually there.

I had a dream last night that has messed with me all day today. Well, it's more like a dream, within a dream, within a dream and so on. It always starts out with something semi vivid and realistic but obviously not my life. Then, I "wake up" and start my day with my normal routine. Then something happens. I begin having intense flashback after flashback until I can't take it anymore and blow my brains out. I "wake up" again back at the mental hospital thinking that I've been there the entire time and I try to escape because I'm scared. I get hit by a car and "wake up" again. Out of no where I'm outside of a Walgreen's with a gun hidden in my lap like I've been daydreaming or something. Then, it's like I can't stop myself and the sick part of me feels good as I enter the store and shoot everyone I see. Then, I shoot myself and "wake up" for the final time and I'm back in a situation where my PTSD originates from. Sometimes it takes place in my present day life, other times when it actually happened. After it's done, I finally actually wake up. I'm so convinced it's a dream that I begin trying different techniques to wake me up and when that doesn't happen I have to convince myself I'm not dreaming. In all of these dreams but the first one and "at the store" someone always tells me that it is real and I'm convinced it is. I've had dreams like these so many times in the past two months that I go through my day believing I'll "wake up" at some point. It's exhausting to say the least. I hate it.
