Okay hi everyone. In here i'll share three dreams i've had in the past during this year that all left me wondering. 1st: It was at night and i was lost on a road someplace i didn't knew. I had a feeling of uneasiness as i walked around trying to get a hike back home. Suddenly a young japanese boy, with really pale white skin appeared before me. He was surrounded by a deep black aura. He was just looking at me at fist, and it scared me a lot. A red truck passed by and i ran to it and attached myself to the back door, hoping to escape. When i looked back, the kid was just behind me and send me flying on the street. As i was trying to get up, he went over me and i couldn't move. Next i woke up, eyelids closed, arms in a cross-like position, and was completely paralized. After about 10minutes i was able to move again and was feeling really strange and like, not myself. 2nd: This one was weird. I was in a cylindric room, big and white, along with four disguised people. All of them my height, and wearing masks, various knives, claws and swords. They took turns in torturing me, with every of their weapons, making me bleed, dismembering me, but every time they changed places i was back in one piece. They all suddendly charged me with four katanas and pierced me throught. I collapsed on the floor and a fifth guy appeared, he had my face exept for red eyes. He told me ''your end is near, for i shall take over'' he delivered the final blow and i woke up. 3rd: This one's simple i dreamed about a person i know of, but not acquainted with, in wich she repeatedly stabed me but strangely i was really enjoying it. I became obsessed with the dream wondering if in fact i was a masochist and for like a month i was following this person around, with the need to ask her to make me bleed, but refraining to do so. I talked about it to my doctor-psychiatrist along with some other things and she concluded i'm an obsessive-compulsive person. Sorry for the bad english and mistyping. Leave your toughts and impressions whatever they are and have a nice day/night!
I think I have a few reflections to share here. Dream #1: The road could mean the "road of life", where you feel lost and left behind, not being able to move like that fast, red truck. (red is also sexuality). Can you remember if there was people in the truck, did it belong to anyone in particular? The guy attacking you seems to fit the "fighting the monster" type of dreams where the conscious mind fights the deeper urges and desires of the subconscious. He is winning, keeping you away from the car and unable to move on the road, you should identify what he represents and try to deal with it. Dream#2: The cylindrical room would by freudian interpretation represent the female sexual organ, the knives and swords are phallic symbols and the stabbing symbolizes intercourse. My guess is that you are torturing yourself about previous relationships that has ended badly. Again a monster from your subconscious in the end defeats you, it could mean you have a pattern of relationship choices and behaviour that is harmful to you. Dream#3 seems to support that you have not broken that pattern of behaviour but will continue to get hurt in future relationships. The psychiatrist (in the dream, right?) represents your morales and overall values. Hope this is in any way useful and sorry for me being direct or harsh, I am not a shrink, just an opinionated person from the internet. I have however seen many descriptions of those "fighting the monster" type of dreams (Dragons, wild beast, aggresive people), I never had that interpretation double-checked by anybody though, but I am pretty sure about them being the subcounscious desires or "inner demons" if you prefer that. Yours are pretty strong, and they are winning and holding you back forcing you to go in circles in your life.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your reflections. There are lots of truths in your analysis. For the 1st dream: About the ''road of life'', honestly i really don't know what to do in life. I don't have priorities, desires (even sex, wich i never got interested in actually), dreams, or anything. So i never move forward whatsover. Yeah there was a man in the truck. Ressembled my deceased father. Tall, muscular with a beard. My father died when i was 4 years old along with my two brothers. They drowned in a lake. I was there, seeing them lose thier life one after the other, and then spent a whole day there until being found later by a group of teenagers. As for the kid attacking me, well when i was 9 years old i was in a psychiatric ward for kids. At first it was because i was traumatized after suffocating while eating. I wouldn't eat. That was cured. But, as time went by i started thinking about my father, while in the ward i suffered mistreatment because i was hyperactive and so was restless. So often i was confined, personal belongings taken away from me, and laughed at by the hospital personnel. But the worst, is that my sister tried to take me away from my mother while i was in there saying she was unfitted to take care of me because she had a huge depression, result of losing her husband and kids. This is when i lost it. I started hearing voices, telling me to torture the other kids, the hospital staff, and last but not least, kill my sister. I didn't do anything to my sister, not wanting to make my father sad. But i did hurt the other kids, and the staff. Even myself. Various mutilations, simply cutting myself, up to giving myself shocks from electrical plugs. I met this bearded man, who was a caring doctor, with whom i felt at ease, like a new found dad, and who helped me through the mistreatment. The voices disapeared, as my hyperactive personnality, and i became a silent, obedient kid. My point is, i'm somewhat afraid to become like that again. Doing bad things to people. Sometime i feel the need to but repress it. For the 2nd dream: Actually, i never had any relationships. I've been asked out many times, but always refused, saying i was not interested, while in some cases i was. I think it's because i was afraid of wanting to hurt these girls, no matter how much i could have grown found of them. So the pattern of behavior here is avoiding any form of relationship that require to give and receive love. And well that is really harmfull to anyone i guess. For the 3rd dream: In fact i never attempted to love or be loved (wasted some of my adolescence actually). As for the psychiatrist actually it was not in the dream but an actual person. Due to the 3rd dream and the obsession that ensued she told me i was an obsessive-compulsive person. Your opinions are really truthfull and while reading them i just realized how much they matched my past and present situation. You weren't harsh in any way, and even if you had been a little, i'm never offended by anything so it would had still been fine. The interpretation of subcousious desires or ''inner demons'' are quite fitting, and truthfully i am just going in circles right now, and it's been quite a long time. Hope to hear more of you, you're really helping me figure out things. Have a nice day/night.
Hey DarkHollow623 Thanks for sharing, I sometimes forget that there are people with real problems out there, something that can put my own safe and careless life in another perspective. I am not sure if I am capable of helping you with those very real issues, and whatever advice I might come up with regarding how you could find a way to give and receive love could probably do more harm than good, but if this left you in a situation where the "bag is open" then this could be a good start with a therapist (that does not just calls you obsessive-compulsive and leaves it there), or just someone who knows this stuff better than me. But please post more dreams here, I am not any kind of expert, but since I can hardly ever rember my own dreams, interpreting those of others has become a bit of an obsession to me. Nice day/night to you (different timezones I guess)
Hi Ratio. Thanks for taking the time to read. Well even if you can't help me out with my personal problems, it's okay since the simple act of reading and answering back to me is in itself comforting. And of course there are people that are there to help solve such problems. It's just that a therapist as a more professional, impassive approach, while someone you meet on the internet, in proper places, can give a more personal point of view, based on it's own life experience. So i think that taking both ways offers more insights, as to how to deal/relive someone of their pain. Having an ear who'll listen to what one have to tell is most helpfull. Of course i'll post more dreams here if i feel they have some kind of meaning, or that they leave me wondering a lot. As for you interpreting the dreams of others, i wouldn't call that an obsession but rather a great tool to communicate with people, giving some little advice here and there, and it's necessary to keep in mind that even things that seems ordinary to some, are the most relieving to others. Nice day/night to you (actually when i write this it's for the ''cheers?'' to fit the time at wich the one it is designated to will read the message)
With regard to Ratio's comment, I have previously dreamed that wheras people attach meaning to colour in their interpretations, colour in dreams is irrelevant.
In my opinion, Orphadeus, colour in dreams is just as important a symbol as it is in art, literature, movies, fashion and everything since the symbolism of dreams reflect the world as we percieve it.
I think what commonly happens is people write a very detailed dream in a few sentences, then people interpret it.
I'm fairly certain you're in the process of being, or are, posessed. You should consult a shaman/priest/psychic/whatever suits you. But your psychiatrist, in my experience, won't be super helpful for the most part. Take it as you will if you don't believe in psychic phenomena.
I also think the psychiatrist won't be of much help either in the end. I did see a priest with whom i made prayers 3 times, you know the usual stuff like protect me from evil, temptation and such. It was relieving for like 2 days after each session but didn't last. I'd like to try these psychic stuff to see if it helps but there's no guarranty it won't be a fraud, taking advantage of a tormented person.
There's a difference between psychic and shaman. Psychics are perceptive and can tell you that there's a demon in your life, but a shaman would be more likely to be able to go seek out help from spirit. You would, in my opinion, be much better off seeing a shaman. Asking a priest to bless a symbol that means something to you might work as well. For starters, you should look up how to shield but I think the entity you're dealing with may be a little stronger than the shields you'll be able to put up at first. I didn't read your second post before posting my first, but I truly think a psychologist would be an excellent thing to have in your life. You have a lot of things that I would need to work out if I had been through. Shamans can also be helpful in that respect. In cases of extreme trauma, your consciousness can fracture in an attempt to escape the situation and that may be exactly what the entity influencing you is capitalising off of. I've been in that situation, albeit not nearly as extreme as yours. An entity put me in the mental ward and intrinsic work was the first step in getting him out of my life. A psychologist would help you greatly, and some shaman have the ability to speak to your missing consciousness to get an idea of the intricacies of the seperation. They also have the ability to return you wholly to the physical, where it is much easier to face your psyche and heal it more effectively.
Okay thanks a lot sorry for the late answer. I'll look around the net and my area to see if there is a shaman.
