Nowthenmardybum ( What a name ! ) Really weird distressing dream ; I have sympathy . I barely recall my dreams in the days before I started paying attention to them - but I did have some bad nightmares . When I was about your age I had serious crisis in my life , on many fronts , and I needed help bad . I had a numinous and transformative dream , and that dream healed me instantly . From then in study of dreams and meditation I discovered many things . When you pay attention , and during your day , try to imagine , contemplate , what your dreams mean , then your dreams will respond , by " talking to you " . This takes patience , persistence - but there are many rewards . The world of dreams unfolds with attention , it is wonderful , and your dreams will become more clear and understandable . I think ' Man and His Symbols ' by Carl Jung a good aid in understanding the language of dreams . Anyways ... may your dreams show you bright paths .
