Hey Everyone,

My WH has been having some very disturbing dreams and I would like to share them with the hopes someone knows the meaning of them.

Last week WH had a dream that our 4yr was stabbed in the chest and his lung was collasped and WH and his Dad put him in the car and rushed him to the hospital. WH said he was breathing for our DS in his dream because DS was not. WH woke up at this point in a panic.

The second dream he had just the other night was the WH was being falsely accused of murder and being chased by all kind of law enforcement. WH committed suicide in his dream. He said he watched the blood drain from his body as he laid there dying.

He wakes up every morning telling me he had another awful dream but cant always remember them. These are two that he did remember. Any have any ideas about what these could mean? I am a believer that all dreams have meaning, sometimes I just dont know what.

REMEMBER THESE ARE JUST HIS DREAMS

Thanks


Lisa

Yep.....guilt. He has hurt his child in real life by his actions and he knows it....he is dreaming his child is hurt becuase he knows the child IS hurt. Now in the dream he is trying to help the child...maybe in real life his actions are follwoing suit?

The law after him and him commiting suicide are again a part of the guilt. He knows he has done the wrong thing and he has to pay for it. Probably the suicide is a symbol of himself destroying his own life by what he has done.

Hope this helps,

Love and light,

Jacky

I have a dream dictionary called "Cloud Nine" (a dreamers dictionary) and I will tell you what it says on both of these dreams.

1) Last week WH had a dream that our 4yr was stabbed in the chest and his lung was collasped and WH and his Dad put him in the car and rushed him to the hospital. WH said he was breathing for our DS in his dream because DS was not. WH woke up at this point in a panic.

quote:
wounds can refer to the reawakening of old, family wounds, recent ego wounds, current physical sensational/ conditions that you've been unaware of in waking life.
Dreams of wounded children may refer to the wounding of your inner child and can point to a need to heal.


2) The second dream he had just the other night was the WH was being falsely accused of murder and being chased by all kind of law enforcement. WH committed suicide in his dream. He said he watched the blood drain from his body as he laid there dying.

quote:
Dreaming of yourself as dead reflects a wish to get out of a situation/responsibility.
Intensely dramtic/emotional death/dying dreams may occur for the addict/alcoholic not yet committed to the recovery process.

Hope this helps.

Nina and Keep,

Thank you for your responses. Yes I do feel both of you have hit upon it quite well. This is what I was thinking. Especially Keep, my WH inner child definitely needs to heal. He has so many unresolved conflict with his parents. He was emancipated by the state of PA at the tender age of 16, and basically thrown out by his parents at the age 15. His death dream really upsets me because his sister has a dream book and she said it symbolizes the no longer having the will to live and that something devastating is going to happen.

WH tells me all he does now is dream and they are so vivid and real that he is afraid to close his eyes at night.

Thanks for the responses

Lisa

Do not pity the boy , LOL this is his life to play . YOURS is to get your life together .

Until he is ready to change himself , and ask for you to be there with him ( the right way) then keep on keepin on .

GUILT is a very powerful thing ,,, you must alllow him to crash and burn all on his own .

Do not allow hi into your world , by doing , comforting him until he is willing to fix and do for himself .

He needs to grow up and learn there can;t be someone to pick up his mess all the time.

THIS could be very damageing , if it should happen that way . Then he never faces his own monsters and they will come back again again and again .

I know your still goin through this rolercoaster in a very hard way ,,, you are chooseing to allow him to stay in your home while BOTH A are going on .

I will be back later one second
