It's possible. You're screaming with all your might but nothing comes out. It might relate to the frustration you have about not remembering. Could there be anything you want to "say" to someone or yourself that you haven't said?

Thank you Tammy

Yes I have a huge ego. I have been surpressing my opinions at work because most of the people that I work with strikes me as complete idiots that are hiding behind their government jobs. If I express my opinion at work right now it could stop my next promotion. Yes I am very opinionated. Thanks again.

Thanks Tammy, very helpful indeed and much appreciated... been dreaming plenty about my parents and all set in childhood home. I have a recurring dream in which I allow my father to die - every dream is a different scenario like in one he was threatening to kill himself and I could have stopped him, but didn't - I watch him pull the trigger and die ... in another, he falls into a pool and bangs his head, I could have saved him but didn't- he drowns. The dreams always end with him alive though ... he walks in .. looks at me and says, so you thought you could get rid of me that easily! Then he sneers and starts laughing at me. I am always so disappointed that i could not even rely on him to die properly - that he tricked me somehow and a feeling of deep sadness and exhaustion prevails.

Also have had the recurring 'screaming dream' - with no sound being produced and the recurring 'trying to hit someone' dream, but my arms are powerless and no matter how hard I try, I can't injure the person I am trying so desperately to hit .... I like your interpretation of the screaming dream -gave me something to think about!

thanks tammy

Last night I dreamed that I was a nice lake house that needed some repair. However you could tell at one time it was very impressive. I had my wife and kids with me. I also had some close friends with us. everything was going great then one of the guys tried to kiss me. I lost my mind and beat the living he** out of him. My other friends got mad and told me that all of that was not necessary. So they made a joke out of it and all tried to give me hugs. I beat the tar out of them until they all ran away. Then I went to the back deck and laughed as I told the story to the wife as I went fishing.
Side note: I do not like to be touched.

Hi sirsir, the home represents your psyche and you feel it is in need of some repair and acknowledge at one time it was impressive. The repair needed is to let your guard down and not be so defensive.

LOL, again it's about balance with the male trying to kiss you. It appears you avoid loving and being gentle with yourself. When you try to love and accept yourself you tend to beat yourself up instead (with negative criticism). You don't want to be seen as weak and maybe you are a perfectionist?

The back deck of a home represents a side of you that you don't want to be exposed. You can laugh about this joke in privacy or while relaxing, but you have a certain persona to up hold. It's a defense mechanism to keep people away even though down deep you are a caring person.

Hope this was helpful

Thank you Tammy
I never thought about the home representing my psyche. Your right I will not let my guard down because in hate to be seen as weak. One of the main reasons why I avoided treatment for my PTSD. I don't believe I'm a perfectionist. However I am a control freak. Thank you for your input and it will give me something to think about.

Hi Shiraz, Recurring dreams are an indication that there is a problem that needs to be fixed and until that problem is resolved the dreams will continue.

The death of your father indicates you want to end the relationship with him but you are ambivalent. Either because you don't want to lose him or you can't seem to escape him.

His laughing at you or sneering is your perception of how he feels about the situation. It may very well be the case because perpetrators tend to think it's all a game until they are sitting in a jail cell all alone finding themselves looking inward at themselves and seeing what they are. At that point they tend to find it in themselves to stop laughing and own up to what they did. (Not always but a lot of times)

The shooting represents anger or disrespect he showed toward you and the anger you have toward him. Hitting his head and drowning is your feelings of being overwhelmed by all of your thoughts/memories that have been fractured or bruised (injured head) in your life.

Not being able to fight represents your feelings of being unable to stand up for yourself.

If you keep writing in a trauma diary there is a good chance your nightmares will stop. I used to have 3-5 nightmares a week and tons of bizarre ones until I started dream interpretation. Now I rarely have a nightmare. I get bad dream images when I’m overly stressed, but they don’t wake me up any more or linger in my mind for days at a time.

Take care!

Screaming? Oh yea! There is a lot of things I want to say to a couple of people but so far I have not. "1" person I will not say the words! (My Mother)

The other person basically won't talk to me.(My Sister) She is sitting safely in her home on the other side of the country and "allowing" me to deal with mother and the hard decisions and issues that go along with caring for her. She is no help at all. Hell, I have to beg her to even call mom.

Guess I just answered my own dream issue, Ya Think?

 

[Seeking_Nirvana]

Hi Grama Herc, Yea I think that is the case with the screaming. But I wouldn't rule out the situation with remembering. I think what ever resonates with you is what the dream means.

Take care
Tammy

I just woke up from a strange dream. I was out fishing with my oldest son. Everything was going great until we decided to eat a bite of lunch. My wife packed us a lunch in a cooler. While we were sitting in the back of the boat eating I saw one of my son's fishing poles bend over. I told him he had a bit. I jumped to grab his pole and he grabbed 3 coolers and jumped off the boat. Whne I asked him what he was doing he told me caughting fish. The pole broke and the throw the othe half in the water and got my son back in the boat. As soon as I got him back in the boat one of my poles bent over so I grabbed the pole and started reeling it into the boat. I was then pulled into the water. My son started laughing and said what are you doing dad? I got pulled under the water and then I felt something wrapping around my legs. This got me mad and I begin to fight what ever was pulling me down. I grabbed something and swam to the top of the water. This something was poking my arm the whole way back to the boat but I was so mad I did not care. I got on the boat and saw that I was toting alot of calms and a wet bird. I woke up thinking what is a bird doing at the bottom of a lake.
Side note: I just started new meds. last night to stop some of the night mares. I do not consider this dream a night mare but just weird.

Here I go again. I just got woke up by a strange dream. I went back to one of my old jobs but nothing was the same. The people that I knew there were now bodybuilders and strong as an ox. The job had turned into a place to house monsters. These creatures were scary. They keep reaching out from the walls and trying to grab me. They got one of my old friends while we were walking our post. In the dream everybody keep aging poorly from the stress. Some of the monsters looked like zombies and some like napam victims that should not have survived. The deeper we went into the basement the worse the creatures got. I went down three floors and that is when I got woke up.
side note: I have not seen people burned that badly since the war. The people that I seen burned like that during the war were dead. I did not take my sleep meds. before going to bed.

Relaxing with your oldest son and everything is going great, but eating causes a problem. Food represents nourishment for ones soul, but the communication your son and you have is cold and impersonal, not to mention rocky. When you see his pole bend it indicates he is bending/messing up something that you enjoy, so he bites on you. (its a pun on words in the dream) When some one bites on us they are bickering at us.

When your son grabs 3 coolers and jumps off of the boat this would represent your past present and future. There are cold emotions from your past and in your present toward your son. You are literally 'jumping ship' to avoid being around him and having a conversation.

When you are around your son you feel immobile or weighed down. You don't know what to say, what to do or how to act, that will prevent you from feeling like a monster after being around him.

The pun "don't clam up" is an idiom that means you "don't speak" when you are around your son. The dead bird could represent lack of freedom to express yourself to your son.

I may be wrong here, but it appears there some issues that need cleared up with your son.

Take care and I will get to your other dream tomorrow.
