Terrified by dream that I had... please help?

Question

I had this nightmare of sorts that's been bothering me, its not long but its certainly disturbing:

Okay... it was broad daylight and I was standing behind this supposedly haunted house. I opened the door going down into the basement. It was dimly lit and messy, there was probably only one light hanging from the ceiling.

I opened the door to a bathroom in there - there was no light except for the single bulb shining from the basement ceiling, it illuminated a messy bathtub and a closet-like door to the left.

I went to open the door with one hand while holding the bathroom door halfway open with the other, just enough to have some light there. A part of me was afraid something was gonna try to get in there, that's why I was holding it as a precaution.
Low and behold, my fear became real when I saw the shadow of an eerie feminine figure on the wall, trying to come in after me, pushing the door with all its might. I did my best to keep it from coming in, but it was VERY strong and persistent so....

It got in and there it was in front of me - a monster or ghost in the form naked woman, long dirty blond hair, evil demonic eyes, a patch of flesh molded onto her mouth. She looked like she was gonna kill me. I felt myself beginning to scream and I woke up, on the verge of screaming.

This was VERY scary and I still have that woman's face in my head, it terrifies me to the point of tears whenever I remember it. What the heck is this dream all about? I know all dreams, even scary ones, don't mean harm and are trying to tell u something... but I'm lost on this one.

Answer 1

You are behind a haunted house in broad daylight. This suggests you are considering facing some of your past fears-fears you may have faced before but recently became challenged by.
Broad daylight is your awareness and you know the house is haunted. YOU open the door, the door doesn''t open itself nor does the "ghost".
You have made a decision to explore the haunted house and face your fears that are grounded in the past. Fears such as this can lie dormant for years.
Often a coping strategy that works well to manage your fear is challenged by a new event and the fears re-emerge with new strength. Because you have successfully dealt with these fears (in another form) in the past the necessity of change and growth push you forward to discover the difficulty.
The image of descending into the basement refers to the past and also where things are kept in storage. It is messy, but you have enough light to make your way.
There is a bathtub and a closet. The bathtub is a basin for cleansing with water. (Symbolically water=emotions) It is empty and messy.The closet like door that you are reaching for symbolizes the hidden matter within.
Just as you are about to discover what is in the closet, that is inside the basement, that is inside your haunted house.....the naked woman with evil eyes and (very interesting) a mouth that is patched over with flesh appears and terrifies you. She begins as a shadow and slowly becomes vividly apparent. Fears are like this. Our human minds have great capacities for construction.
We can deny, ignore, explain, struggle, and battle all kinds of emotions. Primal emotions that arise in the fight or flight of fear do not possess the same flexiblility.

One simple explanation you could go with to help ease your distress about this dream is:
Some thing has come up in your life recently that has aggravated some old fears that you previously had under control. You are beginning to recognize them and adjust your strategy for dealing with them. There is an additional anxiety that comes with losing that control. Managing that anxiety is a key to getting everything back in order.
The good news is that you have done it before, so it follows that you can do it again. Another good thing: this adjustment is a reworking of your self-understanding and is a sign of strength, progress and growth in your life!

Curiosity killed the cat! You are doing something that you know you shouldn't be doing. Its very exiting and you go to the same place every day to have this adventure. You leave a "normal" life to go someplace "dark"..

You are trying to keep going but keep the safety of some kind of escape. It is something you contemplate every time you go there. You say things to yourself like "I'm never gonna get out of this" or "I sure hope I don't get caught".

The "monster" would be the punishment you know will be inflicted on you should you get caught. The image of a woman may mean the authority figure you fear the most. If you were to be "seen" doing this thing it would hurt you the most.

Examples that may cause the dream - masturbation, drugs, secret money deals, cheating on your loved one.

Please be honest with yourself and get help.

You had been nearly taken advantaged of and been performed damage, however you controlled to restrict many of the obstacle. then you definitely desired to warn humans of the movements this organization within the constructing was once concerned in, however was once having obstacle getting the phrase out, when you consider that probably the most organization scamming humans avoided you from doing so. It is normally complicated to difference stipulations on this international which can be dangerous mainly whilst an group is operating difficult to give up you. As for the place within the dream, I am no longer definite if it way some thing, due to the fact that the unconscious brain normally levels factor at areas one is familar with. Maybe the organization harming humans is regarding imformation or competencies. Don't stop on attempt to preserve humans endangered by some means via exact businesses or businesses. Meditate/pray, activity, and consume healthful, so you are going to have the non secular force, to unfold the phrase bigger approximately dangerous businesses or businesses.
