    I dreamed that I had all kinds of mental issues, but I was not really disturbed by that in the dream. The worst was my habit to squirrel things away into my various hiding places: dens in the wall, hidden compartments in furniture. My parents (who in this dream were still together) got me to a therapist, and I admitted to the therapist and my parents where my largest hiding place was with the most stuff, but I admitted that of course it was not the only one: there were others hidden away throughout the house with more stuff. I seemed almost proud of that. In this dream I don't know what age I was, but I think I was a teenager, or at least my maturity level was not that of a grown up - and frankly not even of a teen, but I had mental issues. The house we lived in was not like any house I have lived in in waking life.

      How could you tell that you had mental issues? Was it because your parents took you to a therapist? Or because you just had a feeling?

      I think in this dream it was a given that I did. I just knew it. But I do not remember what came first: the knowing I had issues or the coming to therapist and thus I rationalized in dream therefore I must have issues.

      Upon reviewing this dream journal entry again, I wonder whether this dream is about my hanging on to memories of things I hold against my parents which I think contributed to my real life issues of low self esteem and periodic depression. I think I hold on to negative memories too much, and need to let them go.
