Thread: Recurring dream is stressing me out!!!

Perhaps you may have unleashed something you feel you should not have. I hope by the fact that you have written about this dream it might go away. I had a recurring childhood dream that constantly repeated itself and when I wrote about it it just stopped and never came back. Perhaps there is something that need to be Uncovered, Discovered then Discarded. Maybe these is somthing you always wanted to discover and never did.

Best of Luck.

Well, it has not gone away. I think I must be crazy. That is the only explanation for this.

And what exactly does "Uncovered, Discovered then Discarded" mean?

hi, well my reply was almost the same as pegasus's. what she is saying is that for a dream to be constantly reoccurring there must be a message undelivered?
something in the past maybe that was never put to sleep..a situation or an issue perhaps that will not rest, the message will continue until it can be delt with. (acknowledged).
your path, your journey has been long and very tiring a struggle in darkness on your own. the (council) the power has been very challenging, seems almost a barrier to where you need to get. this may not be a person in istself, but yourself

I am unsure of the best way to go about knowing enough of a situation to be able to help me, so perhaps a little background? I am a 31 y/o married mother, IT professional. Great husband, great (if a bit mouthy) son, normal life. No big dramas for me over my marriage, finances, cars, work, church, etc. Pretty stable and comfortable life.

So...here is my problem. For the past 2 months or so, I have been having these recurring dreams. The dreams happen 3-4 times a week, every week, and last all night long, as far as I can tell. I can definitely see a degradation in myself from not sleeping well enough. I am tired, cranky, dark circles, etc. Sleeping pills eliminate the dreams AND make me a zombie the next day, so it's a double-edged sword. The dreams go like this. The basic premise is that I have a destination to reach, and a difficult path to go through to get there. The end of the path is not fun, will explain that later.

The paths I travel are always different, and always difficult. Sometimes the difficulty in getting there is physically hard (like climbing a steep hill or navigating obstacles in the path). Sometimes it is emotionally difficult (people along the road begging me to stop and help them instead of going). Sometimes, it is scary/frightenting (having to walk through roaches, which I am terrified of or something seems to be "after me"). Sometimes, the path is just dumb and annoying (like once, I had to navigate through this warehouse with icky spiderwebs and dust and crap everywhere). Regardless of what path the dream chooses, it is always difficult, but I always manage to get there. If I wasn't so TIRED, I might actually be kinda amused at how creative my mind appears to be, to come up with all this mess.

Now then... The destination is the part that sucks the most. Once I make it through the path, I arrive in a large circular room. Sitting around a raised platform, all around me, are the ... well, I am not sure of the right word for these people. My mind tends to call them "The Council", don't know why. They seem older than me, but more like an "Elder" than an older person, if that makes sense. They are all in black robes, and have a sense of power about them. I do not know any of them. None of them are easily defined into male/female, black/white/brown, or any other identifying thing. They are just... The Council.

So, I get here, and they spend the rest of the night chewing my butt up! I can never get a clear sense of what I did, or am doing, wrong. They scream and rant and yell and all I do is sit there, shamed and silent. I know this is a form of punishment, but I have no idea what I am doing wrong! I can never speak back and they never clarify what I did, or should do instead, or anything. Just a constant barrage of "BAD GIRL!"

I have tried to consider the things in my life that my subconcious mind might be chewing over that I am dismissing. But, truly, there just isn't anything wrong. My life is normal, and nice and I am happy with it. Some things could be better, of course. More money, a smaller butt, less bills, more family time, a bigger house... All the normal things everyone wants. Nothing outstanding, nothing huge to dwell on or stress about.

If this was a once in a while thing, I would be interested and want to sit back and try to interpret this. But, I am just tired. It is affecting my life, in and out of bed, and I am so very over it. I have meditated, hoping for an answer. I have prayed, in my clumsy way, for an answer. I don't know what it means but I am tottering on the brink of a breakdown over these damned dreams. I think I am going to be speaking to a doctor about this soon.

I welcome any advice, thoughts, or suggestions anyone can offer.

All the best,
Gena

You probably eat junk food. Additionally, God knows, heaven forbid, Lord Satan (the Holy Master of Numbers) saw you eat meat.

Well dreams tend to link to our recent frame of mind. They capture some insight into what has maybe just happened. Here it seems to revolve around that quote "bad girl". How exactly would myou translate this into real life. In some way this has real relevance for how you feel. In real life it could translate into some thought like "I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Yet still whatever I do never seems to be right"

Maybe it then could link to how you are treated compared to others. That others are accepted more whilst you have to prove yourself more
