Bad dreams have always been a major issue of my life, as they go on, I believe I can probably remember 10% of the ones which have affected me the most. I used to ignore them, sometimes google the meanings, or sometimes just simply try to forget them.
There have been quite a few though, which just won’t leave my memories.. sometimes, they even almost seem too realistic to let go of.
There used to be days where I don’t get any bad dreams and I go to bed feeling very relaxed and comfortable – knowing that I would have a good sleep, but lately, the nightmares just won’t stop haunting me.. they even recur over and over and over again.
What does this mean?
What are they trying to get out of me?
They say that nightmares occur mainly when you are stressed or anxious about something – maybe there are some stressful events or changes in your life. I think this is true. Sometimes, when there is just so much going on around you, no matter how much you try to relax or ignore the stress you feel – just before you sleep, when it is quiet and lonely, you are bound to think about all the things you have to deal with tomorrow and you are left to feel stressed all over again.
These are some dreams I constantly have:
1) Getting chased by someone closely.
Google saids:- Chase dreams are one of several common dream themes, stemming from feelings of anxiety in your waking life. Flee and flight is an instinctive response to a physical threat in the environment. In these dreams, the scenario features you being pursued by an attacker, an animal, a monster or an unknown figure, who wants to hurt or possibly kill you. Consequently, you run, you hide or you try to outwit your pursuer. Your actions in the dream parallel how you would respond to pressure and cope with fears, stress or various situations in your waking life. Instead of confronting the situation, your dream indicates that you have a tendency to run away and avoid the issue. Ask yourself who is chasing you, so that you can gain an understanding and insight of the source of your fears and anxieties.
I’ve been chased so many times before in my nightmares. These dreams are probably one of the most common dreams I have. The above saids that it shows that in real life, I do not face a problem, and I have a tendency to run away and avoid the issue. I guess I’ll have to agree. There are some things I just don’t want to face. There are some things I constantly try to ignore and pretend that everything is okay when it is clearly not.
It’s funny when you read about dream interpretations because its not even something you think about in reality. I mean, how often would you actually think about the things you actually do. I don’t think about the fact that I hide from problems in real life – I just do it. It really makes you wonder, is it really because you fear the result, is that why you end up feeling so anxious and pressured?
2) Cheating on my boyfriend
Google saids:- A dream about a cheating boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse is not about the spouse at all. Rather, the dream is most likely caused by insecurity, anxiety or guilt on the part of the dreamer. For instance, dreaming about catching your boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse with another partner probably indicates a deep seated anxiety on your part, either worry about your appearance, doubts about your attractiveness, or just generalized anxiety about the future. Likewise, dreaming that you are cheating on your spouse or significant other can result from guilt you feel about other issues. In some cases these feelings of guilt are not even related to your relationship.
Everytime I awake from this bad dream, I feel guilty as hell. I call up mr.CG and try to talk to him – even though he doesn’t know what I dreamt about ofcourse! I mean, everytime I wake up from this dream, I always feel like “I don’t want to do that! Why can’t I control my dreams??” After reading this article though, I actually feel a lot better reassured that it is indeed not my dream to cheat on the boyfriend, but rather the feeling of guilt of anything in real life. That makes more sense.
3) Dreaming of “ex” friends (I don’t even talk to or think about!) and helping them in the dream
Google didn’t come up with an interpretation for this one, but I’m not sure what it means at all. Are these people meant to symbolize something in my life? I’m sure they are not significant to me, but why do they appear randomly in my dream? I also offered one of my ex-friend to help her ride her bike away from some people who were chasing her in one of the dreams cause I know she’d was tired of riding the bike – and I had the same dream of me riding away from some people with the same route the previous night, I rode her to a hiding spot! What the hell?
I don’t know what this all means. I’m exhausted from thinking about these nightmares. Do dream catchers work? And if they do, how do they work?
