Thread: Introduction and a question

Honestly that sounds like your shadow persona.

The thing about recurring dreams is that they usually have something to do with a choice or a question or some aspect of ourselves that we don't understand or want to know about. Facing fears or understanding these aspects of ourselves is what usually gets rid of the recurring dream.

Carl Jung said that we each have these personae that may or may not feature recurrently in our dreams. One such persona is the shadow which is supposed to be the repressed self. It's the side of ourselves that we don't want to know about or accept and so we hide it away from the world. This persona often features in your dreams as a bully or as someone who is terrifying. Jung said that we really should accept it as part of ourself in order to be able to deal with it a bit better. Kind of makes sense right?

I could be completely wrong of course and he could be some random arse, mutated, character from a computer game that you played when you were a kid but considering you are seeing this figure in a recurring dream, and he's in the bed with you (possibly is you), and is frightening you, I'd wager it's at least a possibility that he's some side of yourself that you don't want people to know about or see.

I hope I've at least provided food for thought.

That did make sense, apart from that he is not IN the bed, but standing by the side of the bed with his head tilted down towards me face, but i will definitely think this through, although i can't think of anything about myself that i don't accept, both bad and good sides.
Thanks
