Please help with these three recurring nightmares that have landed me in the psych hospital twice (cleared both times).
1. I am coming back from lunch when a person runs through the lunchtime crowd on the main drag with a large, exposed knife. A police corporal that I personally have had real life contact with draws his weapon, together with two officers. I approach the attacker calmly and bid the officers hold their fire. As I am executing a routine Aikido takedown (yokomen-uchi nikkyo), just when I get the attacker under total control, I am shot in the calf (which mine are very large and muscular) on the far side, away from my attacker, by the corporal. I am able to subdue the attacker gracefully using the three-fourths of my leg that has not been run through and bid the officers bring their cuffs. The corporal bids me stand and then fires two shots into the back of the now disarmed and in-custody attacker. The corporal is not of such aggressive character in real life.
2. I am taken under a temporary legal guardianship by my mother based on my litigation (as plaintiff) which (in the dream) has advanced to the Circuit Court of Appeals just prior to fraternity recruitment. My conservator compromises my litigation in a manner that appears on the surface to abandon my political view and then buys me cheap clothes for fraternity recruitment, forbidding me to spend $40,000 in one-time funds that I had set aside for a car and clothes for that purpose. On the day of fraternity rush, she forcibly cuts my hair in my sleep as she has done before in real life. Unknown to me, she had acted on the advice of fraternity chapters in cutting my hair and buying the clothes, and my political views had been further advanced as a result of the settlement. In a rage, I beat my mother with forty strokes of a rope's end. The police are called but she refuses to press charges, deeming the public record as sufficient. Then she drives me to my rush event, where she denies that I beat her as the stripes show through her blouse, thus showing her loyalty. In real life, my mother is neither that loyal nor that disloyal.
3. Will enter it later after I have it a couple more times.
