Adults and Nightmares
Last night was a weird one. I had a nightmare. It’s so awkward. 2 years ago when I was still with now my ex; I started having nightmares. I guess it was because of the tension in the relationship. When he left it stopped. Mind you I’ve had a few in the last little while but nothing too bad, snakes, war … the usual I’d say.
Last night was so strange. My first dream was interesting. I was flying over a lake in between 2 cities. I was not a super hero or anything along the lines of that but I had the ability to fly. Then, you know how dreams can be weird, I was in a grocery store and ended up landing on this huge piece of ham. I hate ham!! Ha ha ha
My second dream is the nightmare; I was in a pool which somehow was inside kind of an industrial factory. Then I felt shadows around me. After a few moments I realized they were friends of mine arriving. I couldn’t see them but I could feel them. I kept swimming but left shortly after. The water was clear so I have no worries about that part. Then I walked down the metal staircase and somehow ended up in a hallway of a house. I was just about to go up the stairs when I felt someone behind me. I slightly turned around to see who it was but I couldn’t tell. The person was built and robust so my take would be a man. The yellowish light was shining from behind the man and his face was all shadowy. It was very somber. I offered him to go up first and he waved at me kind of saying “no you go first” but without saying a word. Then I started walking up the stairs when I felt him grabbing aggressively onto my legs to pull me down.
I woke up screaming and freaked out my cats!! Ha ha ha It’s so weird isn’t it. I’m 33 years old and still having nightmares. I must have quite the troubled soul…lol
Do adults still have nightmares or is it just me?
All adults have nightmares. When we need to work something out, but it doesn’t happen when we’re awake, we work it out in our sleep. That goes on all our lives.
The next time something tries to “drag you down” in a dream, try remembering that you’re in a dream so you can tell whatever’s pulling on you to stop. I think you could do that successfully because you were able to wake yourself up to escape.
Don’t be worried about nightmares, they’re just you trying to tell you about the areas in your life that need attention when you’re awake.
Since the danger to you in the dream came from behind and tried to drag you down, I’d guess that you’re worried about some part of your past pulling you back into something you’re glad to be rid of.
I’m no expert, it’s just a suggestion.
Sweet dreams,

Thanks Vonnia for the help with the interpretation of my dream. I appreciate that. I’m usually not too bad at doing so but this time I was quite confused. Thanks
