Recurrent and persistent bad dreams

justintyme -I am not a psychiatrist or psychologist, however I'm impressed by the frequency of the dreams and that the are of 3 definitive types. I'd suggest you read, The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. It may help you understand what is happening and then lead you to seek therapy, or it won't make any sense to you and you can abandon any ideas of following what has been presented in the book. Good luck as you find your way through this maze.

Hi Joan. Bessel van der Kolk sounds like a good lead to plumb. As a medical person, that may prove to make more sense to me than it might otherwise. What's that old, old chestnut of an aphorism?..."Doctor, heal thyself!" [Which is, as we all know, like having an attorney defend himself in a court of law, or appointing a politician to head up an ethics committee.] Meanwhile, in the interim, I've delegated 'therapist pro-tem' therapy duties to my Siberian Husky bitch until I gain more insight into these dreams. She's got several graduate degrees in face-licking and wet-slurps, LoL. Cheers, Justin ;-))
