I have been diagnosed with a sleep disorder and narcolepsy so I was recently put on ambien. Well we all know how that can effect dreams. Well before now I never really remembered my dreams or forgot about them as soon as I woke up but now they are become more vivid and I am waking up in sweats because of them. Today I spoke to my counselor about last nights dream and how I interpreted it because it is still stuck in my head.

I had about four of them. One of them I was at a water park with my stepmom and two younger sisters but not to enjoy it but more or less as the "towel-girl". I had to keep track of my sisters and hold everyone stuff. Eventually my sisters disappeared when they said they would be right back and they ended up meeting with irish dance friends and school friends in a big cafeteria while my stepmom was still in line. THis water park was in Afghanistan.
I took this as even though I was trying to be independent and move on in my life, I was still feeling tied down to my home life and controlled by my stepmom while trying to look out for my sisters but unable to do anything.

I then was in the hospital setting where I was undergoing interrogation for two people (mother and son) who were murdered and I was a prime suspect because I was the last one to see them arguing but could not remember anything. I was zip tied around the neck, wrist and ankles as restraints. I was put in a cognitive trance to answer questions since I couldn't remember anything. The hospital then got overwhelmingly busy and I had to go back on the floor as a tech, still with the zip ties on and work. In front of all my coworkers.
I took this as feeling tied down and always watched, as if I am never good enough and never will be. As if people always think I am hiding something or that I am incompetent at my job.

I have also had dreams of driving overseas casually with my family to the store with no real purpose, but we are in a combat zone but my sisters are with me and all of a sudden they aren't.

I am constantly waking up soaked in sweat and half the time I do not remember my dreams but when I do, It's never a good one. I never wake up satisfied anymore.

I guess one of the problems with being a psych major is I am always willing to make excuses and keep trying things so I can keep analzying

A dream about the internal conflicts going on inside yourself. Anxiety about leaving the family situation behind, as you move on in life away from family problems.
