Im a full time paramedic I love my job nothing scares me i get over things quickly, except i keep having dreams ever since i got stabed. I got stabed in the side over 3 months ago and returned to work as soon as i was healed. Im not scared or hesitant to do my job at all. In my dream id see myself dreaming like im over looking myself and id see me having dreams about friend or what not something real pleasent. Then all of a sudden it all changes.. I see my room exacally how it is like clothes on the floor exacally in the same place as if i was awake then a knife would crash through the window and screen and stick in the door frame. Then i wake up because its so real. Im not scared except after I have this dream and i have to literatly get up walk by the clothes i see in my dream laying on the floor and look at the door frame to see if their is any mark. because its so real. Does anyone know why I keep on having this knife dream and it interups every dream I have?
Hi Spritey, here is a view (and please know it is just that). Sometimes to find a meaning and be able to work with the dream, we must come to a place of Knowing there is meaning in the dream, to tap into the deeper meaning ... even as our lifes unfold hand in hand with the dreams ... as everything is interwoven and connected. Just how deep do we want to go ? And it's like in dream we know we are not confined, and so we keep on knocking on the doors of our waking mind with messages of the dreamer inside us, and visions of healing that are real beyond the dreams. So it seems to me the knife breaking through your window is about your seeking for a greater awareness, and find a greater depth of your life and all connections manifested therein in a spiritual sense that you might have been missing. But then it is just what you make of it ... and you can make it a blessing as much. Healing takes place on all levels of who you are where the physical is just one. It is not time bound either and often we circle round and come back to it later when we have changed and are ready again. Just imagine you are all parts of the dream and not confined, and not the victim but creating this like a passage to walk through, to come out on the other side healed and more whole. Thank you for sharing and I hope this makes sense for you.
talk to jesus, get to a church, have them pray for you. it totally works. take it from someone who has had similar experiences...
It sounds like these nightmares are really disturbing your sleep! In mentioning your violent experience, it seems you are suggesting that there is a connection between the real and dreamed events. In waking life, you say this event didn't disturb your life (went right back to work, aren't afraid) but it seems your dream is telling you otherwise. As you probably know, we process information (and traumatic memories) in different levels of our mind. In short, while you may not be preoccupied with these memories in waking life, part of you is certainly taking an interest in them-- the unconscious part of you that communicates through dreams. This guess makes sense to me as well, because as a full-time rescue worker (thanks!) you have to deal with potentially scary stuff a lot, and are probably used to 'pushing through' so you can keep working without it interfering. Anyway, my solution for this kind of thing (to make the bad dreams stop) is to talk to people about it. Friends, family, religious leaders, or a counselor. I personally think counselors are awesome, because they get asked about dreams all the time, and can help you put them in context of your life (which is what it's all about, anyway,) but I know the idea of seeing a therapist weirds some people out. So I hope this helps. If you have any more questions or just want to say hi, you can get in touch with my by adding a comment to something on my (brand new) blog, freedreamanalysis.blogspot.com (I don't like to give out my email-- trawlers and such...) but I hope this helps! Good luck, Meredith.
Thanks guys for your insite. I did talk to the councellor at work and he suggested that i take time off because usually people do that. But i will still have thoughs about it for a while. And as far as in my dreams go. He said from a religious point of view it could be my spirit or guardian angel watching over me while i sleep. And from a non religeous point of view he said that since i put off this strong nothing can get to me attitude i want some one to be watching over me. He also said that my dream will go away in time the reson Im having them is even though i say im over it and work like it dosnt bother me my contious is telling me when im at rest that i still have problems with it. Thanks for all who has helped. Spritey
