My dreams.

Somebody else made a dream journal here and it gave me the idea of starting my own. Since I tend to have some bizarre dreams just like the one last night.

So here goes. I can't remember everything about this dream but here's what I can remember.

I would put my left hand in a box of washing detergent and would somehow eat the powder through my left hand. My hand left never had a mouth. It would sort of dissolve through my body and I found this to be addictive despite the fact it was life threatening.

You see everytime I did this, I would upset an old women who had a striking resemblance to the old witch from the Disney film " The Sword in the stone (madam mim). Here's a pic for those who don't know what she looks like.

Anyway, she looked like like that but not cartoony. Turned into a real human. When I eat the powder I would transform into Link from the Zelda games. I would find myself controlling Link though at times I was him. This old woman had transformed herself into a dark pink alligator snapping turtle, but still with her human face with a beak and was trying to eat Link. I was trying to hide him under what sort of looked like half broken plant pots. It was a small room he was trapped in, that was similar to a Zelda boss room in a dungeon.

I could sometimes put my hand through the TV (when I wasn't link) and tried to grab him but everytime I did this I risked getting my fingers bitten off. I tried a few times and failed. I also was concerned because lurking in the shadows was Freddy Krueger and he was trying to take link, which was sometimes me.

Anyway, after a while I would find myself standing back in the kitchen again, and putting my hand back into the box of washing detergent and the same scenario would play itself out, with me turning into Link or controlling him, and risk being eaten by this old women who transforms into an alligator snapping turtle or Freddy Kruger taking me.

After a while it stopped. I was sitting in a classroom, like I was back in school. Sitting across from me was a girl who looked similar, yet in this dream I recognised her from back in my school days. For some reason I noticed her face and she looked very attractive ( outside dreamland I never really saw her as attractive). Then I heard Freddy Krueger's voice. he said this " you are all my children now" and then immediately repeated the same sentence but the second time it sounded like it came from a radio. The room began to shake like an earthquake and I woke up.

I wasn't fearful in this dream. It's just kind of bizarre and I do tend to have weird dreams like this. So I was wondering what it meant if anything.

Also, in a Nightmare on elm street part 2, Freddy does say " you are all my children now", so this is actually taken from what happened in a movie.

Good luck with your dream journal!

I don't know anything at all about dream interpretations, so I probably won't be much help. But I'll give it a shot anyway. It reminds me a bit of the battle between your Id and Ego. Part of you wants to indulge in something (absorbing the detergent). It makes you feel good. Or, in dreamworld terms, turns you into Link. But another part of you feels guilty about indulging in this vice. It may be your conscience punishing you, or rather the old woman trying to catch Link. Freddy Krueger might symbolize outside influences or consequences to your actions.

Thanks for your interpretation Michael the Great. I know you from over on psychforums. I use the name Leviathan over there, so you might have seen me around. I don't post there much lately.

You maybe onto something. I won't go into details over the Internet though I am in therapy, and brought up something recently in a session which sort of fits in with what you're saying. In reality, that wanting to indulge has now gone away. It went a few weeks ago. Maybe subconsciously it's still there though and it was brought out in my dreams.

Freddy Krueger tends to be in a lot of my dreams. So does demons trying to possess me or someone around me. Sometimes I'm trapped in a house which is haunted with no doors or windows, it's dark inside and full of cobwebs. Usually there's a demon and it's trying to posses me or someone I know. I'm not distressed when I wake up. So I consider them dreams not nightmares.

Ah, pleasure seeing you again. I haven't posted there in a while either. I got into a fight with someone here, and that's kept me momentarily preoccupied...

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I thought I was a more calm and controlled person with the help of therapy and insight, but a closer look at the recurring themes in my dreams indicate that I'm repressing a lot of hostility and a "forbidden aspect of myself"... which I presume to be my inner psychopath... Or at least that's what the internet dream dictionary is leading me to believe. But maybe it should stay in the dreams?

I've never had a Freddy dream. But I've had two Jason Voorhees and a Michael Myers dream. And a few Cujo dreams. And one Exorcist dream. Clearly we need to stop watching so much television... Although, I'm a bit more afraid of what my untainted imagination can come up with. I have a feeling it would be much more frightening than anything the television can conjure. If only I can remember my original dream monsters, I could sell the ideas and make a profit... If they're going to torment me during the night, I might as well get paid.

I'm also having trouble remembering my dreams. It's pretty hit and miss for me. Do you know of any ways to remember them better?
