| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  |

| |  Freaky Recurring Dream - People Change in Height and Weight
Okay I wasn't sure where to post this but I want to post this before I forget about it again.
i've had this freaky dream for as long as I can remember. i have it about once a month (with no particular pattern to it that I can see). It makes me very anxious (okay understatement) just thinking about it and it wakes me in terror. Now, no laughing...
My dream is a bunch of regular people (they are completely random, all adults, men and women, probably around a half dozen or so) in a completely white background. There are no walls, ceilings, floors nothing. It's just all white and these people. The people go short and fat, thin and tall. Repeatedly. That's it, that's the dream that scares the pants off of me.
Sometimes, I feel as if my body parts do this too. Right as I'm falling asleep. I don't have this dream if my body feels as if i'm being squished then stretched (but it's only one body part at a time, like my feet or hands.) This also creeps me right out. I try and squeeze my eyes shut to make it stop.
WHAT IS THIS?? Why does this scare me? How could this possibly be related to trauma?

hi Bec,
Don't remember if you've ever said you have been hospitalized as a result of your trauma. (my bad memory, sorry!) Most things are white, including the clothes a lot of folks wear. Just a thought.  Maybe way off base.
If you were unconscious, you would have still be aware.

What freaks you out the white or the people? When analyzing my dreams that make no sense I go to the feeling. Isolate parts of the dream and then try to see what comes from each. Many times I can actually follow a dream further when I start to break each segment down asking each to reveal what it is to me. Then I can get both the good and the freaky instead of it all as freaky. It takes some of its power away when I can see the good parts or not freaky parts. |

The fact that they are squishing short and fat then tall and thin. I have no idea why.
i don't think i was in a hospital but who knows? I have amnesia from age 14 down, although I've recovered (naturally) some memories from before then.
