Do you have 90% meaningless dreams? Do you think 50% have deeper meaning?

    As someone going through trauma therapy stuff, every dream has some sort of significance to my life.

    But it’s mostly about how the dreams make me feel vs any type of symbolism. I usually feel overwhelmed, stressed, terrified and like I’m failing my son. Which all matches with what I’m working on in therapy

        Thanks! Yeah, that’s what they tell me. With trauma work, a lot of times it gets a lot harder before it gets better. But the frequency and severity of the dreams/nightmares has decreased as I’ve worked through some of that stuff :)

          I’ve been waiting since March to start and I finally got a therapist who isn’t inept, so I’m starting my first “real” appointment next week.

          Even just indirectly referencing my trauma gives me horrific nightmares for days, so I’m extremely nervous. But I just want my life to get better, so I’ll try anything at this point.

          How long have you been doing it? Have you seen any improvement? I’m so sorry that it’s been difficult for you. Getting better is never easy, is it?
