Had a strange and unpleasant dream last night. In it, my dad and stepmom were getting married the next day, and I was visiting them. My mom was there too (odd, since in real life they don’t speak to each other). Mom and dad got in a huge fight and she left in tears. Then I started to cry, and my dad yelled at me for upsetting my stepmom and told me I had nothing to cry about. I wanted to hurt myself, but never did. Kept reminding myself not to give in. Then I woke up and felt kinda stupid about resisting the temptation, since none of it was real in the first place.
But this dream has been kinda haunting me ever since. Funny how my mind managed to pretty much sum up the reasons why I s.i. in a weird dream like this. I often feel like a cross between a scared little kid and some terrible criminal. That’s what i felt like in this dream. Hm…this post is really weird. Sorry about that.
It’s not weird to be effected by a dream like that. There’s been times I’ve woken up from a dream crying. Or I’ve dreamt about being pregnant and in labor and woken up with horrible stomach pains. Other times, I’ve dreamt about something really upsetting and woke up crying and panicking.
You shouldn’t feel weird about it, and you deff. shouldn’t feel stupid about it. It’s not nessecarily common, but it’s more common than you think.
Dreams are funny things…I don’t know if I believe all that Freudian stuff or not, but I think that our dreams say something about our lives…but that’s just me.
Hope you sleep better tonight!

Yeah, I had a dream when I was sleeping over at my friend’s house. I don’t know why, but I just remember seeing that I had hurt myself. It scared me so badly, and it has haunted me since. I talked it over with my best friend, and that really helped. Getting it out makes it feel better, because the you don’t have to deal with it by yourself. 😀
