Thread: Recurring Dream I just don't understand...

I'm a girl, 19, and I've been having these dreams for about 5 or so years. I'm not exactly sure because I never recorded any and just started a dream journal 2 days ago. It always takes place in the house I used to live in. I moved to a new house in 7th grade but didn't start having these dreams until about 10th grade. I've had various different things happen in the dreams but they're almost always scary and I feel as though something bad is going to happen. One time I dreamed that these weird dog like evil monster things were in the backyard and coming in through the sliding glass door and the door couldn't lock until finally it dissapeared altogether. I think I have this one figured out because in the actual house the lock on the door was broken so this makes sense. Other times I'm just in my room and everything is normal, that is until I get that scary feeling like I need to get the heck out of there. I'm sorry I can't be more in depth with one specific dream but I just have bits and pieces of different ones. One time I dreamed that the house blew up and I thought that this would be the end of the dreams but it wasn't. Sometimes I'm running away from something inside the house and I have to find a way out, usually the front or back door. If I run out the front door I run out and down the street really fast. I'm running from something I can feel but never see and I just need to get away. Sometimes I have to jump over the fence (I can jump really high in these dreams) to get away. A lot of other times I'm in the house wondering what the heck I'm doing here and I'm frantic and panicked because I have to get to the house I actually live at. When I go out looking for the house I actually live in I either can't find it or when I do it looks completely different and I get mad because it doesn't look like my house. I'm so confused by these dreams especially because I really liked the house I used o live in and kind of wish we still lived there. The last dream I remember having where I was at my old house was a few days ago and it wasn't scary and foreboding feeling and it was sunny out which never happens...also though, I never went inside the house. I was only outside the house which makes me wonder if it wasn't scary because I wasn't inside the house. Even though that last dream wasn't scary, it wasn't happy either. My dog that passed away years ago was in it (same name but looked totally different) got locked in the trunk of the car on accident and I got the dog out and was freaking out because she was so over heated. I got the water hose and sprayed water all over her body and in her mouth and then she was magically better from this and then ran away and we couldn't catch her. I'm not sure if you guys need more information or if anyone even knows what any of these means but hopefully someone has some sort of insight into this.
