I had a dream a few night's ago that really startled me. It wasn't a drunk dream for me but a dream where my AH was drunk & drinking. Mind you I have never really seen him drunk. He has been sober for almost 15 years. I have never dreamt of him actually being drunk either. I don't know why I did. It is very odd & disturbing to me needless to say.
So, what do you all think? I have studied psychology & have never really tried to interpret dreams. I know that the disease is still in my life & that I have the program. It frightens me to say the least even though it could happen. I guess the truth is I don't really worry that he might drink. I am more worried about my sanity through all of this. I will try not to psycho-analyze the situation. I could really make this bigger than it is & that it is not entirely about me. You know what I mean? I am OK though since it was a few nights ago. I have been able to process this much better after the fact. So, I will take any feedback you all can give.
Now it has been a few more nights as I complete this post. I am not so disturbed by this as I was when I wrote the original post. I really didn't think that the post was still here actually. So, I am somewhat coming from a different place.
I hope that you all may be able to find something meaningful about this. I am grateful that I am to have this behind me but I still feel the need to say how it makes me feel. I hope I am not being redundant. I am just glad you are all there out there especially those who follow me.
Again, I am not asking for an interpretation of the dream. I just want your experience strength & HOPE in this not so unusual topic.
Hi Kathleen, for me dreams like this are the minds way of releasing what scares us so that it is expressed and out. I know they can be vivid but I have found trusting in the process of my bodies design has served me well. Take care and nice to see you!
Kath my process has evolved to where I can speak to my dream state and get it to listen to how I want it to behave. I can say "stop it" or change it to other subjects and using clean intent it does. I manipulate my PTSD that way and get more focus and sleep. Have the dreams you want to have. ((((hugs))))
Hi! I agree with a 41 in that dreams are a way of releasing fears, also releasing emotions, I noticed some of my dreams are telling me stuff I need to work on. I try to remember my dreams and go over them when I get up but usually it is something I am preoccupied with or am afraid of or its an issue thats not resolved. Sending you peace
Actually I was just wondering if anyone has had this dream or one similar. That I am not the only one. I have lots of awful dreams before. Mostly just about me. So this one was very surprising to me. Just saying...
