I remember a recurring dream I had at age 6 or 7 clearly, of a black and white spiral that was turning almost like it was hypnotizing me, with an old ladies voice in the background but not visible talking to someone and saying "it's ready, i got it ready", I do not know what they were talking about. It ended every time with a bomb explosion noise, why do I still remember this so vividly still so many years later and what does it symbolize? Sometimes I think it may have been my way of hypnotizing myself to forget a bad memory but I don't know. I had this dream about 6 times and it still scares me to think about it.

Hi,
Your dream was probably caused by an allergy tosome food or some sweet.
Some sleep remedy your parents gave you may have also caused the dreams.
I remember somechildhood dreams from 70 years ago, but also remember the cause of the dreams.
Dreams are always dreamt to resolve a problem during sleep and relevant only to the dream they happen in.

Hello marymary78: I'm sorry I cannot interpret your dream for you. There are members, here on PC, who know about this sort of thing. However I am not one of them. What I can say is that I also can recall dreams from many years ago... especially the disturbing ones. So I don't think that the fact you remember this one is at all unusual.

I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become.

The dreams may have been a response to the family situation you were growing up in.
