I don't remember many of the specifics of this dream from last night, however I will do my best to recall.
I am not getting along well with my family. I am being offensive, throwing water on people and creating a flood in the house that is damaging the house. The more I do this, the less sympathy I get from my family. I feel trapped. For some reason I can't stop being destructive, but the more destructive I am the less sympathy I get, and the less sympathy I get the more destructive I get. I wish desperately that someone would care about me or see my trap. Then I meet a teenage boy. He isn't someone from real life, but feels very much like I'm a teenager and meeting another friend, it has that kind of friend feeling to it. He shows me a device he is designing. It's hard to describe, but it has a handle and it sends out a laser beam. It looks a bit like a ray gun, but I have a clearer association to some kind of medical device that optometrists would use to measure your eyes. There's a pair of these, two of them. Also he seems at this point like a real-life friend who designs headphone equipment, because he is the designer and entrepreneur of a company that will manufacture this device (I have a real life friend who does that for a living), and headphones always come in pairs. I study the design and comment on how it's a very simple and clever use of materials. He wants my help in setting up his company. So that's what I remember. I will comment that it's a recurring dream for me that I'm being destructive with my family and getting no sympathy and feeling blamed, and that I'm out of control and that the less sympathy I get the more out of control I feel. I believe this relates to my early childhood, in which I was envious of the attention my younger brother got, but my parents were angry at me and kept shaming me, and I got very angry at my younger brother and angry inside about how I was being treated. |

I appreciate your dream and how you can remember it. I find I can understand the meaning of my own dreams better than anyone.
Here are articles on figuring out what your dreams mean. http://forums.psychcentral.com/sleep-issues-dream-interpretation/psychcentral.com/lib/how-to-analyze-your-dreams...its.../0005975 http://forums.psychcentral.com/sleep-issues-dream-interpretation/psychcentral.com/lib/exploring-your-dreams-qa-with.../00012605

I have some more thoughts. I more clearly see that the kid is a entrepreneur and reminds me of my friend in real life who is an entrepreneur. The kid and his device seem to show a way out of the stuck destruction and shame--they show up in the dream just at the moment I am most stuck and afterward everything seems to be going better. In real life, I am living off a disability income but I desperately hope to become well again and become productive, or "enterprising." The same day I had that dream I earned some money doing math tutoring.
EDIT: I was meditating just now and my eyes felt very tight, like they were trying to bore a hole into something. I associate this with the laser of the device, a "laser-like focus." I associate this with the kind of fixated attention that's part of having OCD for me. Last edited by MusicMike; May 01, 2015 at 01:11 AM. |
