DREAM from August 24th: I was in a place where another girl and i were being held hostage by a big man who was going to rape us. I was trying to figure out a way out. I didn't have any energy to tell him to go away or defend myself. I then started to make myself throw up over the toilet. I was able to leave the situation because I was sick or make myself sick but really wasn't. Then I was hugging my boyfriend as we both felt so much love for each other.
(Actually, this dream reminding me of when I was a child I would fake being sick as I had social anxiety at a very young age due to my mother who lacked in teaching me any kind of social skills and smothered me constantly as a sheltering parent. Throughout the years I have overcome a huge part of it but it still is there from time to time. I guess you could call it fear.)

DREAM from August 25th: I was looking at a beautiful white tiger beaded necklace. I bought it. Then I was trying to hurry up to get ready for work but I was running late. I took a different way to work and still was late. Then at work all of my jewelry fell off me and all over the floor.
I was at some house where there was someone I knew who killed someone and I helped them do it. We were trying to burry the body in the ground but I was freaking out as I knew that they would eventually find that I helped with the murder and hiding of the evidence so I was panicking. All I kept thinking was that my life was ruined and that I will always be living in fear of being caught and the guilt of the action of actually being a part of killing someone.
Then I was kissing and hugging my boyfriend as our connection was one.
---------------------------------
Why am I dreaming of these things? I just don't understand. It was all very nightmarish except the dreams where I was with my boyfriend. He has been a huge part in am emotional support for me and the only person who really truly has loved me in my life.

NightOwl - This often happens that when you feel secure and happy then your inner life can throw up all the negatives to deal with.
The first dream is obviously clear to you. You created a bad situation so you could see that old habits are difficult to get rid of. I found it helpful to imagine yourself back in the dream and tell yourself that this is habit and it needs changing. Also, if you can do it, face up to the big man and ask him what the hell he is doing in your life – not forgetting that he is an aspect of you.

The dead body that you helped to kill is an aspect of you that has been repressed. It needs to be given attention otherwise you are lacking your full potential. Use the things mentioned above.
