Kind of disturbing dream imagery.

So I've finally kicked the worst of the black plague I've had for the last week (now just my face hurts from sinus pressure, but at least I can breathe), and I haven't taken any kind of medicine (side note: I'm insanely sensitive to all kinds of chemicals, especially considering my body mass. Seriously, two drinks and I'm on the floor, and this is

OMG! ACK!

You might have slept on your arm wrong (which is why it's bothering you now) and your brain got confused trying to signal it (sleeping brains are easily confused) but OH GOD! That must have been so horrible. I feel grossed out and really disturbed for you and I wasn't even there.

I've had that happen, usually though it's like an amputation dream (still disturbing, but I usually wake up quicker from those), or being grabbed and wrenched by that arm, some kind of injury.

At least i won't be ingesting as many empty calories scarfing pizza for a while....

Man, I hate dreams like that, especially the residual creepy feeling after waking.

I don't know if you set any store by this kind of thing, but as someone who's basically a freelance therapist for everyone I know, I interpret dream symbols and try to find the psychological connections behind them. If you're interested I could slap down a little somethin' somethin' for you with my mad psychoanalysis skillz. XD

I've already kind of got a theory about parts of it. Mainly, the beginning, with the fight and the scar. Back when I was 19 (11 years ago now), my best friend met a guy on the internet and moved from PA to MT. I was fine with that, excited for her, she got the hell out when I couldn't (or wasn't willing/ was too afraid to). I even went with her when she moved, our last great adventure, that kind of thing. Before this, we'd just reconciled after a few months of frosty relations, mainly due to growing up and growing into different people and not knowing how to accept it in each other. After she moved, she kind of molded herself around her boyfriend's opinions, when for years she'd been doing that with mine. Then I found out from a friend of a friend of her family that she'd gotten married to the guy. That really stung, and instead of being happy for her I sent her a nasty email (not my finest moment). We didn't talk for like 2 years, until she came back to visit with her new baby in tow. We mended fences, but we've still grown

Something to remember is that dreams are rarely about just one thing. The subconscious is trying to sort out the waking mind's input, so a lot of times a bunch of different concerns get jumbled together into a dream. It can make it a little difficult to discern potential meanings--but this is why picking things apart helps. I always find that the more I look at a distressing dream the more it makes sense, and I can connect it to what's happening in my life

(I was trying to stop thinking about the dream for a bit, so I didn't read this until a little while ago
