Reoccuring odd theme in nightmares

Hi, I was just dropping by to ask for some advice/interpretation regarding a reoccurring theme in some of my nightmares over the years that just doesn't make sense to me.

I've recently realized that ever since I was about five years old, I have had nighmares about an Asian woman (yes, weird, I know). The setting and situations change every time, but the Asian woman is still there. The first time I remember dreaming about her she was wearing like, a military skirt uniform and had on bright red lipstick. She was tearing around my old house trying and find me, and so I hid in a sort of underground bunker listening to her footsteps pound around, waiting for her to come kill me.

The last time I dreamed of her (as a nineteen year old) there was three of her and she was younger than previously. I was sitting on a random sofa that was inside the museum where I work. There was a television showing a distuirbing horror movie that, in my dream, I really did not want to see. (And no, I had not seen any horror movies in months in real life) While this movie was going on, the three of them walked out of a shadowy corner and approached me saying "make a deal with us...strike a deal with us..." It was incredibly creepy feeling to hear them say this. I kept saying to myself "No! No! It's not worth it!" and them I woke myself up sleep talking, lol.

another curious experience that I had with this same person is that when I had to have surgury, I had to take some sort of medication that made me pretty much delirious. And although I don't remember this, my mom told me that in the middle of the night, I ran crying into her room and told her that there was an Asian woman standing by my bed.

does anyone have a suggestion as to why this might be happening? I can give more information if needed. I just have no idea why my subconscious manifests in this form...I mean, I love Asian cultures and people, and even plan to adopt a child from China one day, so I really don't understand why this woman is portrayed so negatively in my dreams. What could she symbolize? Or do I just have a particularly random subconscious?

Its possible your mind is responding to some long forgotten trauma. Something that needs dealing with. Look at time when you dream of this lady. You might be able to figure out what she means to you.

If they are seriously troubling to you, learn a sub-conscious self defense trick. Maybe a symbol that is protective you can imagine to keep them at bay.

When something reoccurs frequently it’s not a random thing. Your Subconscious is using this symbol for a specific reason, but that’s something only you can figure out. Your plan to adopt a Chinese child is pretty telling of something. You obviously have a deep connection with Asian culture. I am curious if you are male or female, because the same sex and the contra sexual have different meanings in the psyche.
