Bad dreams question (moved)

(Anonymous) 2012-09-11 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
So... how "bad" do bad dreams have to be before they're worrisome? Is there like a limit even, or...?

I'll explain-- I've been having recurring dreams about being physical hurt, wounded, or dying. About once or twice a week, sometimes more often.

The thing is, they're usually all connected with something that has happened to me, or approximated a sensation I felt before. The latest one I had was last night, and I was throwing up blood from an ulcer. I have a doctor who suspects I have a ulcer, and while it's uncomfortable, I've not thrown up blood yet.

Other things like getting my throat slit, getting stabbed, slowly dying... The weird thing is, I'm never afraid of these dreams? They feel good. I wake up and feel peaceful after having dealt with some horrific bodily issue.

I have a long history of injuries that go untreated, so... is this just my mind's way of giving me closure?

Can you guys give me some advice?

There are a lot of theories about dreams. But I do believe they can be your minds way of working through trauma. If they aren't causing you problems (sleeplessness, anxiety, stress, etc.), I wouldn't worry about them. But if you are worried about them, talking to someone about them could help - sometimes articulating things helps you put things into perspective and get distance from them.

But be sure that it's someone you're happy to share your issues with, even if you don't think the dreams are about those issues. More than once, I've known people to describe a puzzling dream to a close friend or family member, only to have them laugh or grin because the subtext is obvious to someone who knows them. And then, after this is pointed out, the dreamer can usually see it too.
