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 ;-))

Bessel van der Kolk's book has been very helpful to me in both understanding childhood trama and how it affects a person many years on, and on its affects in all the years of my life (I'm now 85 and just now learning how what happened in childhood affected my life.) My very best to you.
