Last night's nightmare:

In my dream I am sleeping in a room that is very concrete/tunnel like (as if it was built underground). I feel something going on wrong around me but I'm too scared to open my eyes and am paralyzed by the fear. I feel like I'm struggling to move my body and can't as if something unseen is holding me down and containing me.

After a moment or two, I finally fight the paralysis to the point that I partially sit up and can open my eyes. When I do I see my grandmother (more of her silhouette - sp?). Her face was shaded and teeth dirty. She was stabbing into my stomach/chest area and stealing something from me that wasn't visible. She kept on poking into me as if she was stealing my soul or bits of my aura or something.

At this point my fiance woke me up because I was flailing around the bed screaming, "no! stop! stop it! no!!" really loud.

Couldn't go back to sleep for a few hours and now I'm extremely exhausted at work. FYI - this grandmother is my only remaining grandparent and she is currently estranged from the family and has been for a few years now.

Any interpretations of the dream? Any nightmares for you guys last night?

Bah.. I like suspensfull dreams, but I rarely have them. My favorite are the ones where im being chased by someone. I hardly ever have dreams I can remember, and when I do, they are normally pretty lame.

You need to call and reconcile something with you're Grandma befroe she passes. If you do not she will probably be even more pissed at you. Why is she estranged from the family?

My grandmother is an alcoholic. She has been for over 35 years. I stopped associating with her a few years ago. Then, 2 years ago I participated in an intervention in which I informed her that if she went to rehab and stopped drinking, I would be part of her life. I also informed her that if she refused, I would have to disassociate from her because I will not put my children (who are yet to be born) through the same dangers I went through growing up. (i.e. grandma almost crashed a lot when she was driving drunk when I was a kid and wasn't smart enough to know what was going on - she almost drove me off a bridge once as well).

She agreed to go to rehab and I spent time traveling to her state to see her and help her threw it. She stayed clean for a while, then out of nowhere remarried some guy, moved to Arkansas, and fell off the wagon. The way that we learned about it was that my uncle went by her house and all her stuff was gone. All family stuff (pictures, keepsakes were left in the garage. I viewed this as someone who would rather go back to drinking their life away than spend time with family. She also pulled away at this point from all other parts of my family.

At this point, I sent her a wedding invitation for my wedding next year, but I don't really associate with her and haven't spoken to her since she fell off the wagon.



Cliffs
-She's an alcoholic
-Don't want to put my future children what I went through with her
-Put her in rehab, she fell off the wagon and ran away
-Haven't spoken to her since

You're feeling guilty for putting her in rehab. You think it's your fault that she's no estranged. You subconsciously feel that she'll want to exact her revenge on you. The end.

She is taking something away from you that you can't see:

A relationship not only with you, but also with your future children.

The ball was in her court and she made that decision. The dream just shows that you are unhappy with it and feel as if she is "stealing" a what you deserve; being the chance to know her.
I'm betting that the paralysing fear you had in the dream represents the paralysis you feel about being unable to remedy the situation. She made a decision that you aren'y happy with, that you don't understand and that you despise.

Not a nightmare, but I had a restless dream last night about a heated conversation with my (soon to be) ex-wife. The funny thing is, I will have to see her once again around mid October when I take her stuff back to Illinois and switch vehicles with her, and I bet this dream will come true, though probably not exactly. That happens to me sometimes; I'll be doing something, and realize that I had dreamed an event just like whatever it is I'm doing sometime in the recent past. I don't mean mundane everyday stuff, either. Stuff that happens as a one-time event.

What is there to interpret? Dreams are nothing more than your memory and imagination, combined with immediate external stimuli, formed into dream imagery.

I tend to agree with this thinking. I thought that I had dealt with most of this stuff already, but I guess it is resurfacing a little due to fiance sending her a wedding invitation and the possibility that she might actually show up. I'll make sure the bar has instructions not to serve her. :) BTW - I'm typically paralyzed in all of my nightmares and am typically being attacked while in bed.
