What Makes You Sad Today

[Chin Strapped]

Fantastic info mate, you know your dreams; definitely worth thinking about, reading that there has given me stuff to think about.

You have to analyse yourself to fully understand what is going on, been my main effort of late and things make sense. Just never wanted to relate ptsd to difficulties I've had in my childhood etc, but you have to.

Dan cocker, go get yourself a dream dictionary.

Hey Angle, what is the title and author??

 

[Anglesachse]

Well Jimmy Cocker mine is a German one so ain`t going to help you much. Its by Hans Kurth and called Lexikon der Traumsymbole, but just look for anything calling itself "Dream Dictionary" "Dream Symbols" or "Dream Images" or similar, there are plenty out there.

Just put Dream Dictionary into Amazon or Ebay and you will be flooded you can get them from around 20,- or 30,- €. Mine is allways next to my bed. I used to log dreams for a very long time aswell, Most people will have a dream that reapears from time to time, so with a log book you can see if anything has changed. Even just Googleing Dream dictionary will provide you with a list of site for the same thing.

But you have to take into account everything that was in the dream, Time of day, Dark or light, Wet, warm windy, full moon .....the list is long, but important beacuse each and every asspect of what you are seeing has a meaning.

The main thing is, that you learn to understand that you can not look at your dream as a direct 1 to 1 world of that which you know.

What Dan dreamt about not being able to help his misses and kids is a crap dream that is going to put you in a bad mood, fact. Unless you realise that your wife, kids or even car or phone, even mates in the waking world do not represent them in your dream world. They are just symbols that your brain uses to try and explain what it is it is trying to tell you.

It is also by no means an item for item explanation, all the things in your dream fit together, influence one another and go hand in hand.

Excellent, Angle! You do know that some of the brightest minds do exactly as you say.

I used to say I didn't dream, but I was assured that I did dream, I just forgot it when awakening.

My little girl from my previous marriage.

I just had to drop her back to my ex, however the ex was at night school, so I had to hand her over to her current partner. I've heard about him, but never met him (he's weary of me, probably heard some shit).

That f*cking hurt.

Me a year ago would now be out getting hammered and forgetting. Now I chose to face my feelings.

Limp Bizkit offered a therapeutic escape. I can't moan too much, some of you fellas have it worse where kids are concerned.

Offload done. Cheers.

Good coping Dan...turning to music for starters

Hey Dan

It's always hard to avoid our bad habits. They're the easiest to fall back into. Glad for you that you didn't. Just remember, the first hundred years is the hardest.

Just remember, the first hundred years is the hardest.

Made me laugh mate.

Cheers guys.

Dan, my kids have basically all grown up now, but I remember when I was deployed in 02, I got a message to go to the nearest phone. It was my daughter who was 14 at the time she said that her new step dad had slapped her across the face, when she told him he had no right he pointed to the wedding ring and said that was his right. He was damn lucky I was thousands of kilometers away. I rang and left him a message though, 'Touch my daughter again and either I will be on the first plane out, or you will have a knock on the door from some friends of mine', then I hung up before he could speak. He never touched her again.

My kids grew up with different blokes in their lives but they have always loved me and called me dad, even ex-step kids still call me dad and I have not been with their mother for six years.

Keep your chin up, she will always love you mate.

Today what makes me sad is that I feel as though after my deployment I fought so hard to tear down the emotional walls and have feelings that I have gone to far in the opposite direction and feel to much. Sometimes I feel like my wife when she was pregnant. Some days are good when I'm happy and full of energy which are far and few between and most days aren't good days when I feel blah and would rather spend the day alone sleeping and I have bad days where I just feel like the world sucks and is hard to motivate myself to do anything.
