Dreams...

[leviathon]

Ok Mark, I posted about having alcoholic dreams in the past once I sobered up. Your response was very helpful. Thank you.

Now, however, I find I am having the most bizarre dreams. Last night I dreamed about free basing crack cocaine. I've never done that in my life... although my little sister was messed up with it.

I've also had very crazy dreams about cheating on my spouse by participating in an orgy, again never done that either and nor would I ... I love her too much... and I have no desire to share other peoples' bodily fluids in large groups etc.

I have had dreams about beating people up, I am a totally non violent person. I don't fight.

The dreams go on and on... I just don't know what to make of this.

Someone on here indicated that they take Trazadone and that can lead to very bizarre dreams, could this be what is going on with me?

Thanks Mark.

Hi, Levi;

Mark will be here to answer your concerns.
I hope you come to some understandings and wish you only the best.
I saw the post about the dreams on trazadone, but, that was never my experience on it. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Shalom!

Lev...I think your dreams are about feelings that you are struggling to deal with...beyond that, it takes time to analyze a dream and much more information. I suspect you need to look at your aggression and differentiate the fact that you are non violent from the feeling of rage.

That's very helpful Mark. I've been struggling with the anger I have towards my parents and what they did to us growing up... to me... and this has been impacted by changes in life recently.

For instance, I moved and had to leave my cats with a friend. It was SOOOO hard for me to do that... which of course reminded me that my parents did that with me and my little brother at least four times in my childhood without much concern... this of course led me to get really upset b/c if it bothered me so much to leave my cats for a short time, how the heck could my parents do something like that to us without a real thought or concern. Not sure I will ever be able to answer that one.

Thank you again, Levi
