Interpret my dreams

[rickolasnice]

Every night I have bad dreams..

Most of the time it's about people chasing me trying to cause me harm. Some times they're about my girlfriend being in danger / being horrible in one way or another. Rarely it's about me fucking up at work (without going into what i do.. something that would definitely get me a disciplinary)

I don't remember the last time I had a dream that didn't involve one or more of these things.

The only ones i worry about in waking life is the safety of my girlfriend and maybe a passing thought of fucking up at work (nothing i dwell on).. The dreams about people chasing me to cause me harm have been consistent for the past 5ish years at least. They VERY rarely bother me upon waking, though. Not like they used to.

Opinions?

Does your work involve the possibility of people chasing you to cause you harm? Dreams are very tricky and mysterious. Both I and my lady see very weird and inexplicable stuff oftentimes, that can't even be explained by unconscious worries (e.g worrying about fucking up at work and then fucking up at work in the dreams).

That said, I can't present you a reasonable opinion. But I wouldn't stress over it too much, sometimes our minds can play interesting tricks on us. For whatever reason, I started seeing hallucinations shortly before falling asleep and shortly after waking up. Real visual, auditory and tactile hallucinations that at first frightened me, but that I later noticed carried on to and from dreams, so it was like I was not asleep anymore, but I was still seeing dreams. So whenever that happens to me nowadays I just explore it with curiosity.

For most of my twenties, the only dreams I can ever recall were always about anxious situations like that. Most often it was about people chasing me and me running (usually through some post-apocalyptic ruined city for some reason). In the dreams I felt intense anxiety but not terror, even though it would be guys chasing me with knives or something to that effect. I don't get them anymore and the only difference in my life (though it's a huge one) is that I have resolved some situations that were not working in my life. For me, it was that my ex who I was with through my whole twenties was not the person for me, and the other was that I was abusing drugs, particularly opiates, and I believe my subconscious was trying to work through the anxiety I would usually not let myself feel from these things.

I don't know what your life is like or anything, but it sounds to me like there is something in it that is causing you stress, and you're not really dealing with it fully. That's what caused the being chased dreams for me anyway.
