Hi Sooperdream
I rather agree with all of what EOT says, but another thought kept recurring to me...
I guess I will say it. My guy used to dream that he had his hands around my neck and was killing me
... scared the daylights out of him. He'd get up all pale on account of this. We get along very well, he has a gentle disposition and there was no real life reason for this recurring dream. I easily laughed it off, but he couldn't.
I believe in past lives... and I theorized with him that this could be a past life issue...
and first he didn't buy it.... but during the next couple dreams he paid attention (somehow)
to his surroundings and clothing and came to his own conclusion I 'might' be right.
These nightmares stopped when he lost the fear that he was capable of doing this nasty deed ....
LOL... a second time.
I think 'losing the FEAR' was the catalyst that stopped the nightmares....
We have been together 17 years...
I don't know if this kind of thinking will help you or not... but it worked for him.
Good luck to you.... I wish for you sweet dreams....
