what's the meaning behind recurring dreams? and by recurring, i mean every few day or weeks for 10+ years. i don't sleep well because of them.
 
What are the details of your dreams, and I will analyze them for you?

um, being shot. and lying there pondering my chances of surviving, again. i have them so often, it gives me near heart failure it seems. i wake and my chest is heaving and i'm slick with sweat....if i have one of these during the week, it literally can fucking ruin it.
 
UGH...that is awful. No interpretation needed there. It is an anxiety dream. That sucks.

Oh, that sucks. Here is some dumb advice (my specialty) but take it as you will. Do something very repetitive before you go to bed, like knitting. It occupies the mind and seems to make you dream about that mundane thing instead of nightmares. I used to have terrible problems with night terrors as a child. So, I can relate.

Also, no spicy foods, and always sleep with something covering your armpits. Don't leave em exposed.
 
HumanTarget said:
yeah, you could say that.

thats where ur nightmare is coming from...

someone attempted to stab me once, they only sliced my coat and part of my pec though.

easier to dodge a knife than a bullet

You are obviously scared of black people bro. You need to face your fears. Maybe make some black friends?

how many times? where? why did they shoot you? did you know them?
3. in the chest. 2 collapsed lungs, shattered 5th thoracic vertebrae, wounded my aorta, ruptured my subclavicular artery and i drowned on my own blood. i'm a fucking wreck. i have a shit load more wrong with me, but i don't think everyone wants to hear me whine. i was a bouncer in a Detroit Club, threw some clown out & he came back and popped me. also blew some dudes brains all over me. so i'm kinda bitter over that. this shit dragged on in many other ways.......and that wasn't the first or last time i had been involved in shootings.

can we see the bullet scars?
after 10 years, they look like acne. my thoracotomy scar is still super fresh looking. i'll take one and post it when i get home.
 
Damn brodagget. I knew you got shot, but that's some shit. Lucky the brain splat guy didn't have the HIV.
 
Will you break down the story. At one point I thought it happened as a result of bouncing in a bar. Then I thought it happened in an alley. ????

he got hit in the neck and the shit came out his ear. he lived for like 4 hours afterwards, i was with him the whole time. he told me about his daughter and shit, his wife still blames me to this day.

i got stuck up once, a while back. i got walked around behind the bar i worked at, at gunpoint.

why were you involved in more shootings?

Were you standing outside when they came back? were there not other people there? Why did they shoot the other guy? I guess they just left you for dead? Were you still conscious?

That's a little heavier than bananas in the cereal..

Have you ever worked it out w/ a counselor - i.e. do you need "closure" of some sort to get your subconscious to the point that you are "past" it?
 
I don't know if it is possible to get past something like that
 
I usually have dreams where I am killing something or and adventure. like slaying a dragon or escaping from a collapsing building. sometimes i have sexual dreams.

and sometimes very random shit...

but mostly killing and winning..

is that good?
 
my brother shot himself in the head about 10 years ago. I had the same dream over and over again for 4 years. I was following him through a crowd of people at some backyard party. He would turn and look at me like he was waiting for me to catch up, then he's start walking agin. Every time I had the dream, we got a little further through the crowd. It was frustrating. The dreams stopped when I got pregnant and decided to name my son after my brother.

I still don't totally understand the dream - and people can interpret all they want - there's no real answer. I suspect the same in your case, and I think that it will take some life changing circumstances for yours to end, as well...

means you have a healthy bit of self confidence. You see yourself conquering your obstacles.

I don't know - But I keep dreaming of someday having a "crown" under my name................... :worried:

it's not like you ask to be involved. the type of guy i am, i guess. it was one of our busiest nights when this happened. Melvin, the other guy, walked in front of the gun while he was shooting, after i asked him to check his coat. i was conscious thru the entire surgery, apparently, as this is what i was told. i flatlined, once, too.
 
I used to have severe night terrors when I was young. I would dream of really gory and violent deaths, ghosts, etc.

but I have had a few recurring dreams all my life. In one, I can sort of levitate through the air by concentrating really hard and sort of making swimming motions in the air. There is a really cool feeling of euphoria that accompanies this dream

In another, I am in some shack that I had to live in as a child and discover a mansion behind a secret compartment behind a cupboard or I find a magic box that always has money in it no matter how much money you pulled out.

Then, I have the bad recurring dream that my car goes down a boat ramp and I can't get out and I drown or that I am in a car with no brakes going down a mountain, but I am trying to control it from the back seat or the passenger seat and I can't get over to the driver's seat to control the car.

i was seing a therapist for about a year. it was mostly that whole "there, there" bullshit. i'm a man, i don't believe in the whole sharing my non-existant sensitivty. after so many visits, i just told the guy, hey, this is embarassing, i don't think this is helping me.

HT...I think u may know my thoughts on this already, but I will say this...Most ppl have recurring dreams (when they can recall their dreams). Unresolved issues and subconscious anxiety. The subconscience is trying to "work out" what the awake conscience cannot
 
i think i might have to go full circle on this one. i might have to go looking for some trouble, and hope i come out on top this time.

oh sweetie, don't do that. :worried: Then, you go to jail and those bastards won your whole life. You already won over them. YOu survived and they are no good murderers, forever.

Obviously your mind has something unresolved about the whole thing and it may just continue until it is ready to be resolved or something happens that sort of puts the whole thing to rest. Therapists often don't seem to be the answer either -- sometimes you just need more time and when you are ready, it all becomes "ok" and you move on.

I'd hope it doesn't need to go full circle in that direction for you tho...

being around people who haven't had the pleasure of being eviscerated is hard for me to deal with. i usually am in some kind of pain, mostly in my left side, where a lot of muscle was removed and my guts bulge out because of it. and to wake up in pain and a pissy mood most days makes me a bitch to deal with.
 
It may take years to get over the tragesty, I've had issues in my life that I dream about over and over. Not the exact instance but similar. I still to this day have horrid nightmares, very weird ones though, and I'll stay up for hours afterwards. I don't want to even close my eyes because most of the time it seems the nightmare continues on and repeats itself. I sometimes feel like I am stuck in dream world, I have been told by my beau recently that I struggle and kick and scream for help in my sleep and he can't wake me.

I would suggest a different thearpist, You need to find the root of the problem ( which I am sure is from the past issues ) and then go from there.

i fucking :heart: you.
 
when i don't dream is when i'm doing real bad. not achieving the REM sleep, restlessness, etc. this last one, i was on my back, looking up and the guy started shooting me in the face. i fucking freaked and jumped up so quick i thought i might have snapped my ankle. i just want them to stop. is there drugs that can stop dreaming?

ever since my uncle shot himself in the head 3 yrs ago, i have these recurring dreams that he isnt really dead and he has come back to the family and Im very mad at him for having lied about being dead and such. yelling things like I KNEW YOU COULDNT BE DEAD. I KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE. sucks waking up from that. so much anger.


HT, we often try to manage the stress we feel during our waking hours but what really can we do to control our dreams? i dont know the answer to that. the obvious answer is resolving or reducing the stress and anxiety will eventually carry over into more peaceful sleep, but what you went through - will be with you forever.

the whole situation seemed to go on for years afterwards. i used to be much worse with the aggression and i caught whispers from friends and family of how i had "lost it" & "gone off the deep end". and, looking back, i did. seeing how i was from my memories alone. it's scary knowing how a person can flip like a coin.

well having that perspective is good in that you can look back and see that in ways, you are much better now, than you were then.

my dad's father shot himself in the head with a shotgun after WWII because of PTSD. My dad told me of his recurring dreams with that. They were terrible. =-(

i just wish they'd stop. i'm a pretty stoic & fearless man. nothing rattles me. but waking up in terror like that, for that long, it just fucks with your perspectives. it makes me not want to know myself. i just wish it would stop...it used to help when i'd go to the VFW and hang with the vets from Vietnam and shit. those guys were awesome.

maybe you should go to the VFW again. My dad still has nightmares and that was 50 years ago. =-( He dreams about finding his dad like that again and stuff. I wish I had any good advice. All I can say is that I'm sorry that is happening to you. It's sad...sniffle.

Stoic & fearless or not, stuff like that affects you long term.

I had a very mean stepfather who used to beat my mother so badly that he would break her bones. He would torture me in weird ways like making me brush my teeth until they all bled, make me scrub floors all night, make me eat rotten food, hit me, etc. I had revenge fantasies for many years until I could finally let it go. I'm not sure how I got to that point of not feeling as bad anymore. I just did.

maybe you got to live well enough, long enough. i'm pretty sure i haven't. i also pretty much avoid caring or thinking about myself. which makes social work perfect for me, cause i can worry about others' problems and avoid mine. a lot of these lovely girls here that love my e-game have shared with me some of their horrors, very much like yours, i'm happy to know them, and knowing they are and still can be happy. but i'm still clueless. i think i got fucking brain damage from flatlining.....

Well, the last few years had been really tough on me until recently. I went through a divorce and my mom and other grandfather dying, a terrible breakup with a boyfriend, so on and so on. My husband had lost his job and I had this huge house I was trying to pay for all by myself on a new lawyers salary. I just was struggling so hard to make ends meet. Everyday heartaches, really, but I was taking them really hard. Things have gotten more comfortable for me financially since I moved in with my fiance in March. He is so jealous though that we fight about silly stuff pretty often.

I think that I just realized one day that revenge wouldn't really be sweet. I would feel like a big bully to go seek him out and do something to him now, because he is probably some pathetic old man now anyway. Life, I'm sure, has gotten even with him more than I have.

I'm just a big softie, I think. I get so consumed with love that I have a hard time staying angry at anyone for very long. Then, there is my faith that brings me lots of peace.

I'm happy to know your story, too. I would really love to see you move away from Detroit and live somewhere pretty and peaceful. You deserve to feel that peace. Maybe somewhere like Aspen. I picture you being a mountains type person.
 
Do you believe that dreams interpret your life? That whatever you dream on that night would be the opposite of what would happened in real life?

How about the symbol on your dreams? do you look it up in a dream dictionary and believe what it say? ( I should made thread about this, maybe I should ) he he

yes, I believe some dreams are symbolic in nature and others are more creative little trains of thought.
