Triggering (SI) - dream interp?

[littlestar]

i was upset when i went to bed last night.... and in my dreams, i wanted to cut. And i kept trying so hard, deeper and deeper, but it didn't work! i couldn't get it right, i couldn't hurt myself enough no matter how hard i tried!! It was a very vivid dream, that stuck with me when i woke up and had to remind myself to come back to reality... But what could that mean??

And unrelated note.... if i cut myself in the midst of overwhelming anxiety from my crazy life situation, am i no longer trusting God in regards to this situation?

dreams are of deep and personal significance, so only you can truly know what it means.
im going to have a go anyway, purely because dream stuff fascinates me, but i dont know you, so yeah...
you were trying to cut yourself but no matter how hard you tried, you couldnt succeed.
cutting is a coping mechanism. something that is in our control, even in the most turbulant of times.
that you couldnt suceed in cutting suggests perhaps, you are feeling, powerless? lack of control? frustration? in your waking life...
Just a guess, let me know

Could be.... i'm in a transition phase of my life... between living arrangements, possibly between jobs.... trying really hard to trust God. So i guess the powerless thing makes a lot of sense...
