Disturbing dreams

[cristyd]

Lately i have very disturbing dreams. I dream that i am late for school or didn’t do my homework. Thi si strange since i am over 30 and i have finished school when i was 24. I am dreaming that i am on trips with my dead grandparents. I dream sometimes that i am stressed and I am masturbating myself. I know that dreaming that you are masturbating can’t be a sin but when i wake up i feel disgusted.
Did anybody else had strange dreams. Are they related to stress? Is it possible that i am stressed about something and not realise it.
Right now we are visting my parents and my father fighted with me. And also i visited the grave of my grandparents.

I would surmize to guess that you are someone who has led what you consider a sinful life (or have had a sinful past) and you are trying to seek God and do His will but are having a hard time forgiving yourself and still have some residual guilt.your dreams don’t mean anything and they aren’t trying to tell you anything.They are just random unrelated thoughts.They will eventually go away.Don’t be overly concerned with them even if they are scary or desturbing.

I am in my 40s and still will have dreams that I am missing college classes…usually it is finals week and I realize I have not attended one class, and then I can’t find the classroom!

Dreams about school are common in adulthood. They are simply the subconscious representation of “uncompleted” aspects of our mind or life.

I still have dreams about getting lost in my old high school, not being on time for a class, failing a test and thus failing a course, screwing up at swim meets, etc. Why my brain decides to revisit teenage horrors I have no idea. It is probably just stress and anxiety and this is just the way your subconscious is trying to work it out. Simply ignore them and the self-erotic dreams. If you are very much bothered with bad dreams, say a prayer to your guardian angel or this bedtime prayer:

“In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, strengthened by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Blessed Michael the Archangel, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints and Angels of Heaven, and powerful in the holy authority of the name His Name, I subject my mind and my dreams only to the work of the Holy Spirit. I ask you Lord to bind up all powers of darkness and forbid them to work in my dreams or any part of my subconscious while I sleep. Amen.” (source- saintpiocenter.org).

I have that exact dream sometimes. I think it’s when I am faced with a project I don’t feel qualified to do. I happens over and over until the project is complete.

Valentino, I don’t think we can assume that she has led a sinful life in the past, dear brother in the Lord In fact she is likely to be very upset that you suggest this. She is more of an innocent. To suggest a reason such as that to a sincere young woman, as I have come to know her, is likely to cause her a lot of distress. We need, I think, to be very careful about making judgements of sin regarding others especially in such a foggy area as dreams.

Cristy suffers a lot of emotional frustration due to lifelong over-parenting from her Dad (lovingly intended of course, as Cristy knows) that continues for her as an adult and married woman. Such has been evident in various posts.
She becomes very emotional and confused about it about and how to handle the issues.
Dreams translate in various way, like the childhood fears and frustrations in her other dreams. They don’t necessarily relate specifically.

Cristy I assure you I don’t for one instant accept our sincere brother’s interpretation of your dream as meaning that you have lived a sinful life. I know how over-anxious you easily become, and what a good heart you have. He’s exploring truth and faith in his own way, and for all of us, the journey isn’t always easy, and we all get things a bit wrong sometimes. I know I do.

Trishie: I hope you’re right.I’t was just my thoughts.I could way off base.If I am she can just dismiss this post.I wasn’t trying to judge her.I just believe many to do have pasts which they consider sinful and oftentimes experience strange dreams.i’f I wrong I hope you’re post makes her feel better.

I have had the same dream every couple of months, for years, where I am in high school and can’t remember what class I have next and can’t find my schedule!:banghead:
