Once you're awake, you're still in charge...no matter what your subconscious is up to.

I dreamed last night that someone had painted around my base boards. My rooms were a soft cream and the paint was a very bright blue and a bright yellow. I tried to call "maintenance" but I couldn't get the number right and got a girl who said I woke her up but that was OK, she was ready to talk, now. Then I asked my dad and he started reciting the names of four philosophers. The phone was round, on a cord, strange looking thing...and I just couldn't get my message out there.
Oh-Oh Luise that was me doing your baseboards last night after I had my fifth...Sorry, I was sleepwalking ;)

I can see that I didn't take this seriously. I apologize.

Creme!!!  I was just wondering where you've been.  Lots of good stuff.  DH knows probably only superficially how I feel at the moment and I'm not even sure that I know what I'm feeling.  I dunno, I'm not much of a feeling type gal.  I have two easily accessible emotions that I can identify that I'm feeling for the most part.  Happy and Mad.  I don't know if you saw my personality type test (it's in grab bag too) but I'm working on developing feeeeeeeelings.  LOL, not so simple.

I dunno, it's hard.  When I think about what I truly want in life it's just to love and be love.  I really dislike ill will and negativity.  Chronically mean people should just be put on an island and duke it out.

I'm ok with indifference or just a peaceful coexistence but purposely nasty?  Ugh

I don't know and that scares me.

Sometimes when I'm pushed too much I feel like I react like a LION.  RAWR.

But what right do I have?  I keep looking at DH and feel so bad.

Oh please don't tell me we have to start taking everything serious....or I'm in big trouble and will be apologizing a bunch.

Pam, its just because it has been on your mind a bunch.  As soon as you resolve the problem, either with them, or yourself....the dream will go away.  It is simply your brains way of saying, you may be asleep, but I am still functioning.

Pam,  I think you have to know if something about them is troubleing you~~something you want to tell them but are frightened to say.....Something you have stuffed way down deep inside and its coming up when you sleep for it is in your subconscious mind--knocking on your door....

I could not help myself Luise.... ;D

Oh I know that something is bothering me and I do know what it is.

I just don't know if I want to say anything to them or not. I guess I don't trust myself right now.  Super angry.

Pam,

I really don't dream about people I know. Except, when I was pregnant, I dreamt I gave birth to my DD and she had my DH's smile...complete with his full set of teeth.

I'm pretty good at suppressing emotions, but I lost my best friend in a helicopter crash and then I lost another to cancer.  I was brooding over their death a few months after the fact (each time), then I had a dream about each of them.

The first left behind a wife and child, and I was concerned about them. In the dream, he was going around opening  doors for his wife. She couldn't see him, but saw the doors opening automatically. Somehow, I knew she'd be okay.

The second I grew up with. We were sledding (27 year olds here), and then she told me she had to go. I gave her a hug and wouldn't let her go. She kept saying, "I have to go. I have to go." So I finally let go of her...then I woke up.

I think both of them happened just b/c my brain was trying to get me to accept facts. So, maybe your subconscious is telling you you're warranted in feeling the way you do about your ILs? Since your repeating the same dream over again...maybe there is something you need to get off your chest?

Pam, well now its coming out----so what are you angry about??????

Faithlooksup

Pam~~~~ What do you want to tell them????? Tell us...we are here....

(We are both so bad, Faith!  :o  I'm glad I'm not alone...)

On a more serious note, if feelings aren't felt and expressed consciously, I agree that  dreams could be a healthy way to express them.

Hi Creme! Good to see you!
