You know it's bad when you have multiple dreams of the same thing.

Why do I keep dreaming of having a Last Supper with the in laws?  It all goes well until suddenly I go around the table and say a quiet, but firm "I'm done with you" to each of them and walk away.  This is starting to disturb me.

And I'm embarassed, DH heard me last night.  (I talk in my sleep)

We often do in our dreams what we can't do in real life...like fly. Do you breathe well through your nose? If so, tape your mouth shut before you go to sleep. :-X

Oh, darn! Well, then, I'd take the 5th Amendment each night before dropping off. Or maybe tell him about the dream and get his take on it?

Not exactly that...Lol.  But if you are having issues about something, you suddenly have a weird dream about something related.

Ok, I had one the other night.  Saturday, I have this weird dream about being on a see-saw at a hospital.  And every time I went up, they were scanning my chest behind me, but it was going too fast and I was about to fall off.  They were yelling at me for not staying still, and I was yelling back I couldn't because it was going to fast!

I am totally sure I had that weird dream because I went to the doctor Friday and I have to have some more tests.  But, I don't think they will put me on a see-saw!   ;D

Ah, ok.  So maybe I'm just working it out and won't become a raving lunatic.  The dreams are so vivid though.

Ha ha.  You are fine.  You have had this on your mind a bunch and it is carrying over into your dreams.  I have read many books on the subconscious, and it is fasinating.

Lately I've been bothered by feeling that my DS's ILs think DS is their son and we don't exist. I had a dream the other night that I was playing and laughing with their DS while his parents looked on in disapproval. It doesn't take much effort to figure that one out!

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.

Hi Pam
I'm guessing what it means it, that our subconscious thoughts are not always available to us, sometimes, emotionally we blank out thoughts, so when we sleep, those thoughts come out in our dreams, and what she is doing, in her dreams is something that gives her subconscious relief...it cleans her soul to be able to say to them, "I'm done".   

It's perfectly normal and apparently something that is bothering her a lot...not that she wants to in reality say to them "I'm done" with each of them, Or not? 

...however, it's the soul's way of relieving itself of tension.  Serioulsy, I think she wants more then anything to get along with them and resolve the issue...maybe she cannot do that in reality, but in her dreams she can, by calling it quits?

Researchers agree that there is a purpose and importance to dreaming.
People who are deprived from entering the dream phase of sleep, or the REM stage, exhibit symptoms of irritability and anxiety.

also, in dreams especially the lucid dream, you are able to direct your dreams in any area you desire...and you are more willing to confront threats....overcome phobias, ask your boss/husband for a raise, and the brain activity during the dream state, is the same as a real life event, so the practice/lessons your learning in this dream state, are related to our waking world....

I wouldn't worry to much, your simply letting off steam, and by God, your husband should know how you feel, especially if it's causing you to have reoccuring dreams like this, b/c its definately upsetting you...
