What does this recurring dream mean?

Recommended Posts

For about a week or two of every month, I have recurring dreams, sometimes lucid, about me becoming possessed.

It usually takes place in a house I used to live in three years ago.

It usually starts off with me sleeping, and I wake up slowly and I involuntarily start walking, and then I see my family and they ask me a question and I'll say, "Rachel (my name)'s not here." and I'll start flying around, screaming, or growling.

Sometimes in my dreams I'll be texting someone and I'll look at the texts I sent and some of what I said I don't remember saying. In one of my dreams, I called my boyfriend and started speaking in tongues.

In the most recent dream I had, I looked outside and saw someone in a black cloak (It could've been the grim reaper?) sitting on a chair in front of my window.

What could all this mean?

No clue on your situation, but with my own recurring dreams they ended-up to be some type of strange unresolved conflict.

In many cases my dreams made no sense, other than that the same people were there(the scenery changes in some bizarre manner)

Your subject is good, as dreams are simply not well understood as to their interpretation or cause.

dreams are open to everyone's interpretation. no one can actually tell you what they mean. If they mean anything at all.

It means you give too much credence to dreams.

Dreams are just problem solving of your waking state and is of it's own inner self reality.

part of it is sense it recurring is so much on your mind it makes it even more likely to have similar dreams.

Really only you will know, but then, knowing consciously isn't really the point in dreaming.

Dreams operate symbolically and emotionally to communicate.

Dreams are private myths... Myths are public dreams.

I'd highly suggest writing them down in a journal, especially any recurring or repetitive symbolism.

You may not get it now, but years from now you'll look back and in the context of what is happening in your life now that you may as yet be unaware of, will gain clarity in hindsight.

Best of luck and above all, don't worry. These are all aspects of yourself.

Once a month for seven to fourteen days, huh.

Hmm.. I'm not too sure, but I use a dream dictionary usually to give little bits of insights into dreams.

Here's a good one I use:

You'll have to search each symbol separately though, like just 'house' or 'possessed' and just look up the major points and symbols of the dream... It might not have some things, but I wish you the best of luck :)

I hope it helps :)

Oh, also, write it down and analyze the major symbols. Think of what they mean to you personally, and then piece them together to see what they mean altogether.

making things miserable is so easy...

but it's all some folks seem interested in... compounding their misery in others.

I had a friend that used to have a recurring dream when he was a child, about being possessed and turning into a cloven-hooved demon thing and possibly killing his family in his dreams. I knew him as an adult and we came to the conclusion he was experiencing a lot of anger and frustration and destructive impulses at a pivotal time in his life when he was a teen, due to family situations and other stimulus. He was likely wanting to lash out in general, and also destroy or erase his entire situation at that time, to be free of it - which necessarily included the whole family since IT was, overall, the actual problem. It didn't mean he wanted to kill his family specifically, it meant he wanted to break that situation up, and when boiled down in a simplistic manner, the direct physical destruction of his family, driven by the rage over his own misery, was the most logical mental representation.

In your case, something similar to that is possibly at work, with the externalizing (yes, even though "possession" is an internal concept) of the activity or rage or weird or hurtful actions or thoughts, being ascribed to an outside or external controlling force. It sounds like a personal unconscious acknowledgement of your own thoughts or feelings of anger and defiance of your expected role in a situation or life in general, held immobile within a larger, overarching framework of family or society, not quite ready to consciously admit the link and feelings, which come out as sometimes representationally anti-social or just plain strange.

It sounds like you have a religious aspect to your personal dream vocabulary, which can represent good and bad things. Talking in tongues may be, depending on how it happens, a personal desire for people to see you as a good or wise or special person by personal or divine virtue, which you feel is not normally something anyone does. I would suggest writing these dreams down, and reading them and seeing yourself, if you can find a theme, not necessarily literal, but conceptual, in how any of these things may apply or be fueled by your real world situation and thoughts and experiences.

It is hard to comment not knowing your background or environment. I do agree with looking up the symbolisms in your dreams, and think hard about what is going on in your life. Are you supressing something? You said your dream takes you back three years to a previous home. What does that mean to you? How do you feel about where you live now. It sounds like you may trust your boyfriend and want to intrust something to him but you are not quite ready yet so it comes out unintelligible. Your family is asking you questions, instead of answering, you fly around screaming and growling. That could mean frustration. You are there, your family is there but you deny being yourself. Does this mean you don't want to be there? Either your old home in your dream is a safe place, or it is a place you don't want to be. I don't believe that the grimm reaper in a dream means death. I think it is an obsticle, something you dread, a blocked door in your mind. I would mentally go back to that home and see how you feel about it. Don't look at the dream as a whole because it really is meanings in peices. Your dream is trying to work something out. All dreams have meanings, even if it is just a mundane representation of a happy lazy day you had playing video games. This is just my interpretation on limited information. Good luck and keep us updated :)

Hi Rachel,

This part caught my attention.

It usually starts off with me sleeping, and I wake up slowly and I involuntarily start walking, and then I see my family and they ask me a question and I'll say, "Rachel (my name)'s not here." and I'll start flying around, screaming, or growling.

There are aspects of you that want to be 'out there' someplace. Your reply that you are "not here" kind of made an impression with me. I feel that you do not wish to be confined and that there are a number of things in your life at the moment that are restricting you. It is your subconscious which is screaming and growling, as I see it. I suggest talking with it to kind of calm it down.

Believe in yourself and your potentials. How you choose to think about about them will set an energetic tone which the subconscious will align with or react against. Let your inner wisdom guide you and kind of tune out what does not support those ideas.

I know you will resolve what needs to be taken care of. You are just that kind of person.

John
