Im the husband of someone with psychotic depression and anxiety disorder.

My Wife displays symptoms similar to a schizophrenic.

She tells me dreams/nightmares about a little boy (dirty homeless like) who runs away and she runs after him only to see him run to a cemetery tomb. The boy never says a word.

Also another nightmare she remembers is bursts of fire taunting her from behind.

My Wife had a good childhood until she was 6 or 7 years old. She was raised by her maternal grandparents.... At 6 or 7 Her father appeared in her life out of nowhere and basically forced himself into her.. Taking her to his family home for weeks at a time. This was very a very traumatic stage in her life. He father spent close to 7 years in prison in USA and when he was deported to our home country the first thing he did was to look for his daughter straight out of prison without receiving any type of rehabilitation after being free.

She tells me all the traumas she endured and the lack of affection she received from the husband wife. Her grandparents are her world but they are overseas. Shes living with me in USA.

My Wife doesn't believe in mental illness.. She believes in spells and is very spiritual and God fearing. Im more of a doctor science person.

We have a 9 months old and she is unfit to care for her on her own. Any helps is greatly appreciated.

The little boy represents a mental aspect of your wife's mind and a particular idea that she is using. The young boy, indicates thinking that is innocent but very lacking in adult knowledge. Being dirty would imply having an idea that is incorrect. The homeless impression implies using an idea that is not protected by a well established belief system.

The dreams suggest that she is letting such an idea "run away with" her. i.e. letting herself go too far with it. By pursuing this idea it may be leading her to put a focus upon the issue of death (the tomb).

By not saying a word to her she is being shown that there is nothing to be said for this idea i.e. there is nothing to recommend it.

Fire behind her implies fire from the past. The fire itself represents very emotional and destruction thinking - illogical thinking in the past. If your wife is very spiritual, the fire might also suggest the idea of hell fire. [Were her childhood caretakers spiritually inclined?]

[Mental illness is the result of allowing the wrong ideas to dwell in one's mind. This is why dreams are so useful. If she is very God fearing your wife should realize that she cannot put her faith in spells and still honour God. One has to chose. Scripture does not accept the use of spells, only Satan does. The little boy in her dreams might easily refer to the idea of spells because by following the path of spells she would be taking herself to the tomb - since she is not following God's path. Hope this might be helpful to you.]
