dream

I took 2 beechams flu tablets early this morning cos I feel like sh.t. I had a horrific dream. My mum died, we burned her in the garden, then things started to happen like her sewing machine would start by itself, and her music would come on. I had to go and tell my grandad she was dead and what we'd done cos she never wanted to be buried (my grandad is dead) then I went to tell her brother(who is also dead).

I know it was only a dream but I was really upset in it and crying and I woke up thinking I'll have to call her today.(I haven't spoken to her for a couple of months as I asked for some space due to past events and therapy I'm going through.)

I hate these dreams, they always take place in some house I lived in years ago, this one happened to be my grandads old bungalow for some reason. (my T says houses represent a part yourself in dreams) Do dreams affect other people like this?

sigh......I hate dreams. Wonder if the flu meds made it worse.

the dream was quite graphic but I wont go into it.

Dear sweet jinny....I do hate dreams that have so many twists and turns, makes me want to go online and find out how to interpret all the strangeness. Any day is a good day to call your mum, wishing you peace!

yes i have dreams that cause me to force myself to stay awake at night until im too tired to keep my eyes open.....of course mine are different but always the theme of things are not going right....

i'm sorry you had such a scary dream ((((((((((hugs)))))))))
I too had one this morning that has left me not feeling great. I thought it was real and i was trapped again by my abuser. i had given up in the dream.
I do hope you're feeling better.

Dreams mean a lot of different things to me. Often, they are just a curiosity. Sometimes they are blatant wish fulfillment. And other times I wake up in a panic or upset by some new, imagined but vivid traumatic event.

I'm sorry that this dream was disturbing and I hope calling your Mom helps (it's a great idea).

Thanks, I will call my mum tonight I think. I just dont want any trouble or triggering, I think I'm at the stage where I need to talk to her about things, I need questions answering. Thankyou for your input, always appreciated.

hugs, Jin xxxxxxx

Well, calling her about issues might be a different call. I was thinking more of a "just calling to say hi" kind of thing. But either way, I hope it goes well and that you feel better afterwards.

<font color="green">Jinn,
I wouldn't call her if I were you. Why not write it out instead? Then you can edit it and print it out. Let your therapist look it over before you decide if you are going to send it or not. Give yourself time to heal.</font>

Two lots of bad news today - I'll leave calling til another time.

thanks, Jinny xxx

Houses we recognize are usually about our issues from the time period we lived there or remember them from. So, it might help to look at what was happening with your mother during the time period of your life you most remember visiting with your granddad at his house.

I lived alone in an apartment from 1973-1986 and dreamed about that apartment from about mid-80's until 2003 or 2004. I lived there when I saw my T the first time, 1978-1987 and I saw my T again 1996-2005 so we kind of knew there were things we didn't clear up from the first time I saw her. My dreams from that period often were oppressively depressing or scary/upsetting.
