this is a dream that i constantly have:i am running away from people, usually my parents. every dream is different, although they all center around the same plot. i can't really describe all of them other than i spend the whole dream running from one place to another, hiding by changing appearances, kinda like the bourne identity but without the guns and violence but 3 times the amount of emotional drama... i've been having this dream for the past 7 years or so. i'm not completely sure what to make of it. it happens about once every two months and several of my exs have mentioned to me that i start to cry when i have this dream. i usually wake up moaning a little to myself and crying. it's a bit distressing to wake up this way... i've considered maybe going to a sleep therapist or something about this. or maybe getting hypnotism to make the dreams stop?

Maybe you are trying to run from the expectations of other people - particularly parents - of you. And inside you are yearning for the freedom to do the things that you desire inside your self.IP: Logged |

Hmm, I know on the surface it may be that but I'm starting to get worried that there might be something deep in my subconscious that's off - i mean like deep psychological scarring from my mother or something. i've always done little things in my sleep (my legs twitch, and i've woken up to my arm up in the air once while having a dream about being really little and reaching up to push a button on an elevator. that was a bizarre dream for a different post one day perhaps), but it kinds concerns me that i wake up crying. my dreams usually do end where i'm crying in them also though.IP: Logged |

Maybe you feel that no matter what you do you'll never have her approval and that makes you that sad.IP: Logged |

Hello MoonPixie  Peace Angel makes some great points. I think you are right, though, about there being something deeper to those dreams. The symbology suggests, especially since it is recurring, that there may be feelings of guilt buried within you, and/or that you are avoiding some issue from your past (running from parents). If you want the dreams to stop, then so must the running. It is suggested that you may be hiding from some truth, and that you are putting on an act to conceal it, though innocently and perhaps unconsciously (changing appearances). It appears that you are not fully aware or conscious of the way you have been avoiding/concealing/hiding this issue, or how this hidden issue is affecting you, although you do seem to have some ideas about it. So, what happened seven or so years ago that could be at the root of these recurring dreams? What is it that your subconscious is trying to get you to acknowledge or face?  IP: Logged |
