I spend nights trying to figure my dreams out, what they mean and why.
For the longest time I kept dreaming about crying while holding this little girl in my arms on the side of the road. We would talk and she would slip slowly off, and I would hold her until I woke. Always crying, and always feeling terrible. I tried everything.
Then one day my Dad said something about- "...that little girl you held while she died..." and that night I remembered. Repressed memories of my time on a stretch of road still one of the worst in California is hard to get through some nights.
Forgetting and pressing those memories back, I do not think is a wise choice. I thank you for the advice.
Also some of the nightmares I have had sense before I understood them- they call 'em Night Terrors (as I recall). My parents would wake my in my crib and hold me to calm me down. This is a life long issue.
