Weird Dreams

[Presario]

Lately I have been having dreams in a recurring theme, wondered whether any of you guys had a clue what they could mean?

Its all a bit depressing but for a while I had had several dreams where I murdered other people, they were always strangers. And I would feel immensly guilty in my dream after I killed them. Then I had a dream where I killed loads of people by planting a bomb in a block of flats, i had the same dream again a few nights later. Now, instead of me being the killer my dreams are focused on explosions.

Last night I dreamt that I knew a bomb had been planted in a hotel and was about to go off. But, rather than warn the people in that hotel, I ran to the next one where people were dining outside and told them all to get under the tables to protect them from the near by explosion. Then I went back to the blown up hotel and men were scraping burnt bodies off the floor and I was walking over the patches of blood left behind in bare feet.

Really vile dreams and the make me feel horrible. Any idea what is causing them and how I can get them to stop??!

sorry i can't help but i too have been having dreams in a recurring theme but mine is about me pulling my teeth out!! each dream is different but it's so vivid and each time im twisting my teeth til they fall out!
my mum says when you dream about things like that it means you're stressed but i don't know. it'd be interesting to hear if anyone knows about recurring themes in dreams!

Presario do you work with the general public - like a call centre, customer relations etc?

I am a teacher!!! But honestly don't want to murder any children, i think they're fab!!!!!

Maybe I'm stressed about going back to work? Why does that lead to murder and explosion dreams :-(

Hi Presario - I'm no expert but dreams are a way of releasing your inner tensions. The reason I asked if you dealt with the general public is I believe that violent dreams, in which you harm other people, is a release meachanism for having to constantly keep your cool in your working life when you can't 'fight' back. I suspect the explosions also represent controlling your temper and release of frustration, this may be your way of being calm in your working life.
Your a teacher so I guess you may be confirmation of my theory LOL!
Write down things that have stressed you during the day before you go to bed ( I always then burn the paper) and you'll probably sleep like a baby.

Sweet Dreams!

Of course I mean 'you're a teacher' - no gold star for me!

I think that the killings and bombings that occur in your dreams are influenced by all the news at the moment and your anxiety about it. As a teacher your need to protect and to educate without prejudice must have effects. Perhaps your dreams cause you to examine events from all perspectives. I did a bit of work with dream association long ago and was told that how you feel about the dream is more important than the content. I was also taught to try to remember my dream, run through it again in my mind and create a new ending that was happy. Worked for me!
