i have been seeing big huge black dogs barking at me, dreawing and wanting to attack me can anyone explain this to me???
 
Hi @Shorty, sorry but I don't understand your message... It's a bit, well...to short, and that's no pun. - Did you meet those dogs in reality, or were you sleeping (nightmare)? You know, the more detailed and clear your message, post, the bigger the chance that people get your concern. And as you see, I'm not a native English speaker, so could you please explain what this means:
dreawing and wanting to attack
What's "dreawing*? Thank you in advance.
 
Perhaps a typo? I don't understand that word either.

My first thought though when reading your post was the black dog (wolf) versus the white dog (wolf) legend. The black dog represents the negative. My friend uses the black dog/white dog in her therapy and her "black dog" can act really vicious sometimes. Not sure if you meant real dogs, dream dogs, or figurative dogs, but that's what I thought of when I read your post.
 
Sorry for the bad typing didnt have much sleep, the dogs are in my head all the time and can hear them barking at me with pure evil in there eyes, like there going to attack me, but there being held back by something or someone, The barking is constant i just dont know what this means?
 
By 'all the time' do you mean when you're awake too? This is posted in 'Sleep and Nightmares' so I assumed you meant initially you were dreaming about black dogs. Your second post seems to suggest this is when you're awake?
 
Its both, it happens more when im asleep.
i wake up screaming some nights cause of these black dogs scares me to death, i also hear them when im awake in the back of my mind
 
I think "dreawing" = drooling.

Dreams are usually where all the odd thoughts and worries we have throughout the day come out, and show up in really strange ways. So I think, the more important question is, what is happening in your life right now that could make you feel like you are being attacked or in danger?

It helps me to manage my dreams if I spend a good 20 minutes or so meditating before bed. If I don't have the wherewithal to do that, I'll at least make sure I spend time visualizing a safe place - for me, that's a big white room- where I believe I'll go in my dreams. This, or the meditation, can sometimes work. But the dreams I'm trying to manage are memory dreams - slightly altered versions of things that have happened to me. Yours sounds more like an abstract dream, where you are associating the dogs with something.

Unless you've been in a dog attack?
 
No dog attack, been thinking are they there to guard my old memory's from coming out or are they there to hurt me i don't know,
i have been trying to find out in my dreams who's handling them and cant work it out its just blank, i'm scared that if i try to much to find out i will have a nuke go off in my mine and bring everything out at once and i really don't want that.
