Dream Catcher

I'm going to try and sneak in a quick post today. Yes its not been a good month for my blogging. BUT i'm going to make an effort to squeeze in more quicky posts, lucky you :)

As far back as I can remember, I've never been much of a dreamer. Either I don't have dreams at night or I don't remember them, hardly ever. I decided that in fact I do have some dreams but remember very few of them. I remember back when I was a kid I had a reoccurring dream that a humongous black crow would fly through my kitchen window (from my old house in Stoughton) and attack me. I remember having this dream many many times and even after we moved into our McFarland house, I would still have this dream.

I guess I never thought much of it....

Then more recently (and I say recently but really I mean like the last 3-4 years) I started having another reoccurring dream. I just had this dream again last week which prompted me to try and look it up because it really was bothering me. My reoccurring dream always consists of me and then someone attacking me. I've had the dream with a physical attack like being beat up and i've also sadly had the dream when i've been sexually attacked. I've probably had this dream about 4 times in the 6 months.

So long story short, I decided to try and look up what this dream meant because, well, let's be honest, its kind of disturbing. I found this great website for dream decoding:

When I looked up what being attacked meant, here's what it said:

"To dream that you are being attacked by someone, signifies questions on your character and the need for you to defend yourself. You are feeling stressed, vulnerable and helpless. You may also be faced with difficult changes in your waking life. Dreaming of an attacks provides a way for you to confront a situation that you are avoiding in real life.

To dream that you are being attacked by an animal, is a warning to be careful with those around you. Take notice on who you know in your waking like that shares and exhibits the same qualities of the animal that attacked you in your dream."

And when I looked up dreaming about being raped, it said:

"To dream that you have been raped, indicates vengeful feelings toward the opposite sex. You are feeling violated in some way or being taken advantage of. Something or someone is jeopardizing your self-esteem and emotional well-being. You feel that someone or something is being forced upon you."

Interesting wouldn't you say?! I kept thinking that if I kept dreaming that I was being attacked meant that it was going to happen in real life or something, but according to this, I'm stressed and need to do some real-life confronting!

Anyway, I thought i'd share this website with you. I found it quite interesting and I'm hoping that I can start to remember more of my dreams.
