Journal Dream Journal/Complaint Bin about Life

[Ohana]

I want to record more of my dreams because I have a lot of them. I had one good one because it hit the core of my current emotions.

I was in a freaked out state. I was with random people for some reason. I think I had the ability to change my face along with the other people

It changed into something kind of cool actually. It was like a statue. It started with a forehead, eyes, then nose that was flat kind of pronounced, thats all I could see in the emotion of it. It looked like my face was melting. Very horrifying.

Then I asked some of them if I could change back but they said my face was stuck like that. It was like the old adage that if you frown to much your face will get stuck like this. I was horrified because in the dream when I had the ability to change for a while getting stuck as something felt like dying.

Then my face melted again into my actual real life face but that was ehh so I ended the dream falling down and crying. So guessing stuck as something I don't want to be and powerlessness that comes with. Good emotional dream not too horrifying 7.8/10

Oh another dream I can talk about is the one in which I had that was not as fun um I guess warning I won't go into too much detail but it is a little graphic and dark so be warned.

I guess it all started with trying to remember. I guess it had to do with religion. I don't go to church so I don't know why it was that dark since I don't think I have much religious trauma other than the people that I met that may have been affected by entities? Or something? Idk

So the core I can remember is that a woman towards the end of it because it was a long dream. The woman was yelling about Catholicism but then her head got cut. It was horrifying and brutal to watch. Not a fun dream.

I might write about some complaints I have later to life so yeah.

Do you think the latter one is more symbolic or meaningful rather than just a subconscious manifestation of concern or fear related to religion?

I’m not a dreamer myself. I just can’t remember what I dreamed about in general. But I do remember there was a long period in my life when I would have these repeat dreams and I would recognize the dreams’ familiarity in the dream itself. So I’d tell people on the dream what was going to happen and try to help them so they wouldn’t get hurt or go the wrong way, etc., but no one ever listened to me. They thought I was crazy. Turns out the reason behind the dreams was because I was trying to tell my mother (and possibly others, but mainly her) important things, but she was never available to listen and I lacked the courage to kind of force it given her temperament.

Obviously dreams can definitely mean more than or represent something outside our struggles! Just sharing my experience with my repeat dreams.

It was mainly just one time. I don't really have repeat dreams. Unless the dream repeats itself in the dream. That happens in my dreams

I have repeat symbols in dreams though like the other mother from Coraline. For some reason I felt responsible to help with her a lot and realized that escaping would just lead to other people getting hurt.

I think that symbol is because of how much responsibility was placed on my shoulders at a young age. My mom is cool but was a single mom so had to pick up the slack a bit.

That latter dream I don't know. I get nightmares but then I also get dreams that are just. Too real. The haunting kind. An in-between a nightmare and a dream.

In nightmares typically wake up in a panic. But the haunting kind I don't wake up in a panic. Its just tragedy in a dream. No symbols to take from it. Just a horrible thing that happened in my dream. It would be like trying to find meaning or reason from a tragic event.

There may be no reason sometimes tragedy just strikes or its just human error. No malicious intent involved. Its just Sometimes its just pain.

Like this one other dream I had which for some reason involved dr Eggman. It involved me stopping him but then he started crying and it was vaguely haunting. It was pretty emotional. Had a lot weird dreams.

My life was normal but my dreams. Haunting, terrifying, and really weird.

It sounds like your dreams are intensely cathartic, and catharsis can feel positive and/or negative depending on the situation, specific emotions evoked, people involved, etc. I definitely think you should keep a journal by your bed and just take a few minutes when you wake to jot down your thoughts or feelings. You may find some patterns of significance you never noticed before!

 

[Ohana]

Yeah that would be good idea. I tried that once and I did find some useful patterns. Like they took place in carnivals, theme parks, or fairs a lot of the time.

As well as involving a lot of places like jingle gyms. I think it showed that my mind is active and really likes to do a lot of activity. But yeah I should probably get back to doing that again.
