Thread: Different nightmares with same recurring person

I really hope someone can help me understand a bit more about my nightmares as I think that it is starting to drive me a bit insane...
For the past few weeks I have been having different nightmares. Allthough they are different, they always have the same person in them, namely my best friend (girl).
For instance, last night I actually had 4 different nightmares all involving her as well.
I do love her, but as a dear friend, nothing more nothing less. So it definitely is not repressed feelings or anything of sorts.
In my nightmares I usually play the role of the "protector" and I usually do not make it out alive while she makes it out in one piece (Well, i dont think I make it out alive because every time just before I bite the bullet I would wake up). I think what is bothering me is that I can remember everything, all the feelings, the emotions etc.
Any clarity or advice would really be appreciated.
