Those who engage in the interpretation of dreams should be especially careful not to impose their own pet theories onto the dreams of others. I don't doubt that there are many possible interpretations and that some of them might seem quite plausible. The experience led me to the library and to bookstores to get as much information about this brain disorder as I could. I have no doubt that a Freudian or Jungian could find some latent or symbolic meaning here that I do not note, but I have no interest in their interpretations because I have no way to check them against reality and do not share their assumptions regarding the psyche. I have no idea why my brain confabulated this dream, arousing fear and disturbing sleep.
Reality is bad enough without having our brains arouse more fears during sleep.
Why the brain should terrify its owner by repeating horrifying memories during sleep seems beyond comprehension. Such obsessive dreaming is of no more value than obsessive-compulsive behavior. They need the help of a good therapist, but they are not in need of dream interpreter. If such dreamers are to be helped they must learn control their dreams. There are various method used to control dreaming, most of them involving visual or auditory preparations prior to sleep.
