Reoccuring dreams..nightmares rather
 
I keep having the same dream and I think about it all the time. I also have similar dreams like it.

I went some where with a couple of people for a party. It was in an apartment on Nassau St. I didn’t recognize where but I knew where I was in the dream. I met this really cute guy that I really liked and he obviously liked me back. But when my friends and I went back the next night, everyone else was in a different room and who ever this guy was, was the only other person in the room with me. Next thing I know he was trying to get on top of me. I told him no but he didn’t listen. I yelled for the other girls but no one heard me. He kept chasing me around and I kept yelling. I opened the door to the other room and I saw everyone in there. I told them what happened but no one believed me. When I went back out, he kept trying and I kept running. Since Leigh wasn’t there, I called her. I tried telling her what was going and that I needed help but she didn’t believe me until she heard him. He was on top of me when I was calling her. Then she told me she was busy and had no way to get there. I finally called the police and got away. I walked back to school. For some reason there was a macy’s on Nassau and apparently there was a short cut through there back to school.

Just some background info..Leigh is a complicating person in my life. She is someone I thought was my best friend but I apparently got too close to her and she ran away from me, saying she was too involved in my life. At the beginning of college, we clicked so fast and were inseperable. Now she couldn't give 2 sh**s about me and I still wish we were as close as we were before. When I first relapsed around mid october, she kind of abandoned me because she was "afraid" when reallity she wanted to talk to her newest crush of the week. I also had another dream the other night, almost like that one. I was in some kind of school. There was a fire drill and everyone went out the back of the school. One of the teachers was walking next to me and put his arm around me and I kind of pushed him off kindly. Then he did it again and I did the same thing. He grabbed me by the back of the neck and threw me to the ground. For some reason, my high school music teachers husband (who I know very well since he is my friends music teacher at another school) was there and saw what happened. He started to bring me inside and another teacher said she would take care of it. The other teacher (who was the soft spoken teacher from Sabrina teenage witch) walked me inside and I passed Leigh and another friend of mine, Ashley. Ashley looked concerned since I was crying and Leigh just gave me a dirty look. The other teacher, seeming nice at the time, tried to comfort me. Then when we got to whatever room it was, she threw me against a wall, saying I was making it all up. She sat there, guarding the room making sure I couldn't get away. No one came looking for me..

I don't know what these dreams mean. But they're really bothering me. Can I get some second advice on these? Sorry it was so long.

Im not a dream expert, but if you have a therapist it might be worthwhile talking to them, all i can suggest is maybe get a book on dreams? or look up information on the internet about them?

Dreams are a reflection of how we feel deep down inside of us, so is there any hidden feelings you have? something that happend that you pushed down to forget?

Hi :)
I dont know that much about dreams, but I always find with me that if i've been thinking about certain things or if i've seen something on TV or on a film, in a magazine or a book that they will often crop up in my dreams, even if I wasnt conciously thinking about them.
Could it be anything like that? If you've been struggling lately and thinking about Leigh then maybe it all got muddled up and ended up in a dream?

Mari's right, you could try looking in a book of dreams or on the internet.
Sorry I cant be much help.
Take care

You probably saw some of these people or Sabrina somehow before you went to sleep, even if it was days before and you may not remember. The mind stores these things and they pop up again in dreams.

In terms of what they MEAN.... It kind of sounds to me like you've had some kind of abuse in your life, at least I'm almost postive. It also sounds like you're very afraid of losing people, of no one caring, of people blowing you off and ignoring your needs. It's reflected pretty clear in the fact that in your dreams you need help from a very serious danger, and no one was willing to help you out.

Hell, the men in your dreams could even be paralleled to SI, assuming you have never been abused. But this is just my amateur pop psych at work. Still, I'm sure you think it's horrible to go to sleep right now and I hope it gets better for you. Try relaxing right before bed. Clear your mind. OR read something you really enjoy, or watch something you enjoy. Lately I've been reading one of my favorite authors before bed, and instead of having my reoccuring nightmares I've been running around the streets as my favorite fictional detective ;)
