I feel a lot of stress lately. Emotionally physically. Everything. It's starting to get hard to handle and deal with. I feel like I'm about to reach a breaking point or something. Existence truly is torture. Anyway.

The dream I had last night was me being blinded by blood. I was like stabbed in the head and I remember gushing blood everywhere and seeing nothing but red. So much blood.

I feel overwhelmed in life lately and almost want to check myself into a hospital or just bail on life and go back to hiding in the dark.

Hey Steiner of Thule

I will try. I am sensing that you may be feeling fear and pain. I also wonder if you are angry about something under the surface like something has happened lately and you are stuffing it. Sometimes these things come out in our dreams.

I like your dog there.

Idk I have been feeling a ton of stress lately. Work and school coming up and having confessed my love for a girl and our relationship progressing there. It's a lot for me and a new domain. I had to drink some beer today to cope with the rapid heartbeat/ heart skipping beats. I actually wonder if I don't have a physical heart problem that I have to go to a doctor for. I might have to quit my job if it gets too much for me.

Do you remember any of the rest of the dream? I would like to try to help understand it, but it usually takes some context.

I don't remember much of it. Just being stabbed in the head and being blinded with blood. I saw nothing but red near the end.

Do you get headaches? If so, where do you feel them in your head? Also can you remember in the dream where in the head you were stabbed?

Like right in the forehead. I've been getting headaches from med changes and fatigue.

I believe that dreams are usually speaking of the unconscious, messages about things that you aren't fully aware of. You already know you have headaches, and this dream seems to speaking about them. But it may be making you aware of something that isn't currently within your awareness. For instance it might be trying to make you aware of your reaction to the headaches. "Seeing red" would be anger. Are you conscious of your reaction to the headaches? Do you have emotions like anger, sadness, or fear? Are you aware of any subconscious attempt to get them to go away, liking "pushing on them" through muscle tension?

I do feel angry from them a little and can't think straight. I have all those emotions and I feel them a lot. Fear anger and sadness. I don't know how to get them to go away. I fear the future of myself with my relations with others and with how I will do and secure my future financially. Also anger because I feel like trying to do things with others is so much work.

It makes me wonder if the headaches feel like a really big interference with your goals in life. As you are already feeling anger, sadness, and fear, I can imagine that having a headache on top of that would be "the last straw."

A lot of times I do feel like I am on my last leg and want to snap/crack.
