I’m really sorry for the late reply, have had some complex weeks. And thank you all for your comprehensive answers, it’s obvious you’ve taken a lot of time to give me these answers, really very grateful!

It’s interesting that you all take a slightly different approach to the analysis, but come to similar conclusions. All your comments really hit right on the spot though. I’m also aware that I’m the only one capable of making the final analysis, as I understand dreams are highly individual.

There was indeed some events unfolding during that time and it’s only recently that I was actually capable of linking this nightmare to them. I just started working through those events a couple of months ago, so it probably makes sense that this nightmare has been popping back up into memory recently.

DarkestDarkness, no. The nightmares I’m having now don’t share any of the visual components here, they do share quite a bit of the emotions though.

Hilary, those symbol interpretations fit like a glove, scary.

At the end, this nightmare lies really way back in the past. Yes, it still bothers me, but understanding it better does help me a lot figuring out what I might have felt at the time. It’s funny that even though I remember so little from childhood, this nightmare has always stayed in memory, maybe I should have paid more attention to it sooner.

Again thank you all for your help. I’m going to work through all your comments as they all bring something really meaningful to me.
