Terry I was having a bout of some truly bizzare nightmares. I mean they made zero sense.

I had posted the list of them as they were ones I could actually remember. Most I just wake in panic and so consumed by the panic attack I had no clue what I was dreaming.

But when I posted them Boo and Anthony were amazing at helping me figure out what they represented when I put down details. I pulled them apart and once I had been asked a hundred (seemed like that many) questions to things picked out we figure out what the dreams were related to and it was unresolved issues with my dad. In a million years I would have not come up with that on my own. They all had a common theme that was not apparent to me, but from someone else looking in they found them.

I worked through emotions and discussed and lo and behold that round of nightmares ceased.

My other nightmares are weird but representations of my traumas. Pulling the same emotions out of me and some close to like my trauma but I rarely have a nightmare of my actual trauma. In my nightmares things don't go like I remember.

Shit rambling. Simply put yes, it helps to pull the apart and analyze them as they are carring emotions that are not resolved.

I have been nightmare free for a while now and not waking in panic, then last night I was bombarded with every frigging trauma represented in nightmares that did not end it seemed all night. I am so sick today and wiped out it is not even funny. But I see my shrink today (oh joy) and well I will be firing her today before I move. So I can work through some it with her.
