dream analysis

So they say dreams are like your own therapy. I don't know that this is always true, but sometimes I think it is.

I don't have reoccuring dreams persay, but the last year or so I've been having a reoccurring theme or I guess event. The story line is always different, the characters the same, and everyone acts not at all like themselves when the big issues come up. It's been bothering me, as I am one of the characters. Then it dawned on me.

Years ago someone made a decision for me. It was the right decision. Granted the way the person handled it was not their shining moment and there were a lot of other things going on. But these dreams are linked directly to this. I know the decision was right, but the dreams always seem to put it in question.

Then it dawned on me. It's not the decision that is haunting me, its that I was unable to make it for myself. I was in a bad situation and I couldn't save myself. I think I keep reliving this situation in the surrealist of senses, because my dream-self is trying to get the satisfaction of deciding for itself. I'm trying to save myself this time around. I didn't even know it was bothering me that much until I realized the solution. What a relief.
