Dreams

Personally I do believe dreams have meaning but dreams don’t usually mean what actually happens in the dream it’s more about how you feel in the dream if that makes sense. For an example I’ve been having dreams here and there about me hurting people but I was always just trying to just survive the most recent one though I actually didn’t feel in danger but I was stressed and this person was crossing my boundary and I hurt them. It doesn’t mean you’re going to hurt people the fact you are afraid you would is a sign that you wouldn’t. But the people you hurt in your dreams is just your feelings being expressed. It usually means you feel like a boundary is being crossed so then you might feel angry or you feel like you don’t have much control in your waking life so in your dream you are taking back that control. It kind of depends on who it was in the dream but think about how you felt did you feel angry or scared? I always would feel scared in my dreams I would try and lock the door and it never would lock so I had to wait in a room until they found me and I would hurt them before they could hurt me. That shows that I was dealing with a feeling that I could not avoid that’s why I couldn’t lock the door in my dreams and the person I was hurting is actually just a feeling that I was scared of and the hurting them is just me trying to take back control of that feeling. I have never wanted to actually hurt anyone in real life but I’ve had these dreams for years now. Dreams are just creating a story out of our feelings from our waking life. It doesn’t make any of it real. But let me know if you felt differently in your dreams for an example if it came from anger instead of fear. But that would just mean it’s coming from a different emotion or fear probably. But you are not alone at least I’ve definitely had these kinds of dreams many times.

Ok yeah well the running and ignoring definitely means there’s something in your life that feels really big and intimidating to the point running feels easier so I would try and think what that could be that you’re trying to run from in real life. I’m not sure I felt guilty either tbh so I don’t think that’s a sign of anything bad. It’s hard to know for sure there could be many different reasons you’re feeling this way I’m not sure what’s going on in your life but since it’s your loved one it could be about your feelings towards that loved one and your relationship with them or do you feel you have an internal conflict going on or feel powerless whether it’s about something else or maybe with that loved one? It may not have to do with the loved one they could just be the place holder in the dream but it would help to know if it’s about them or not do you remember how you felt towards that loved one when you woke up?

Ok well that makes sense if there has been tension in real life between the two of you. Well do you feel that you try to keep the peace by staying silent? That would explain the not speaking up in your dreams. Or sometimes watching them hurt someone without reacting can mean you are quietly losing respect for their actions or behaviors. The reason why you may have felt nothing in the dream could either be because you were trying to protect yourself from that stress or you’re fully checked out from trying to fix the conflict. Does any of this seem to resonate with your situation?
