Can anyone help?

[FireFairy]

Can anyone tell me what my dream means? It would really help me, as it quite freaked me out! Here's the dream.
In the dream I am a camara man (or women, whatever) and I'm filming a documentry. The documentry's based on a real life experience, and it's being filmrd as the insedents happening. The beggining of the documentry is just a Mother, and her little girl moving into a huge, victorian style house. Then it went th the mum, and daughter going into a sweet shop. The little girl asks her mum if she can have some sweets. The mum replies "No! you no what we eat!"
Then the narrator said "The truth was for the last 4 years they had been eating the little girls sister."
It then went to a seen of there fridge. Inside it had the sisters head on a plate, and on the next shelf down it had her hand on a plate.
Next you saw the little girl in the bath, the mum was sitting on the loo next to her. The little girl was reading a book.
The mum said "I' going down stares, will you be ok?". The girl replied "Of course, mummy!"
The mum went, then a minute later you heard a scream. The dead sister appeared in the hallway. The girl said, "Hello. Your the one we murdered, aren't you?" The sister replied, "Yes."
The girl then said "Are you a ghost? I've been reading about ghosts. There are lot's of differant types of ghosts aen't there?"
The sister said "I am a ghost, and yes there lots of differant types of ghosts." "So which one are you then? Are you a spirit?"
"no, I'm a life ghost I end lives!"
Then it went to a upclose picture of the sister smiling, really creepily, and I woke up.
I have lo's of nightmares, is there any resons why. O' and if you reply please don't take the piss. Cause everyone so far that I've telled has just telled me I have a warped imagination!
Thanx

Don't worry, no piss-taking here.

Well, it's difficult to interpret a dream without knowing anything about the person having the dream, but I'll give it a try.

Is there a character in the documentary that you feel an affinity for? If it's the daughter who's being eaten, do you feel that you're in a situation where part of you is being taken away? Where you're becoming transparent or insubstantial?

Or if it's the other daughter you feel an affinity for, do you feel that there's a situation in your life in which you're inadvertantly hurting people you love?

Or, considering that you're being the camera in the dream, is there a situation in your life where you're observing someone else either losing themselves or hurting someone they love?

Just a disclaimer before I start. I'm not a counselor. I don't do psycho-analysis on a regular basis. Last time was at least 5 years ago. I may be a little rusty. Apart from that, I was taught this in a 6 week university course, thus might not be fully exposed to the finer points of psycho-analysis. You have to consider this to be a personal, subjective opinion.


A Jungian psycho-analysis of your dream description might suggest you fear loss of control. From your description it's hard to tell what it is you wish to control, so you'll have to figure that out yourself.

How did I come to such an assumption?

In your dream, you're the camera operator. The operator is partially in control: s/he operates the camera, decides what to tape, but doesn't direct the incidents, justs follow their lead. S/he sees what's happening but isn't able to do anything about it.

The huge victorian house could be your psyche. In there (amongst other aspects), is an id and an ego. The ego is the part of the psyche that is in control and uses logic. It might be presented by both the mother and her little daughter. The mother represents control, after all she has the authority to withold the daughter from eating the sweets. The daughter represents the submissive, the one that needs guidance, and clings to the mother. It's a symbiosis, just like in real-life. The daughter may be part of the ego because of her logical reaction when faced with the illogicality of the ghost.

Then, when the daughter is in a vulnerable position, the mother leaves her. The daughter is left behind without any protection. That's the loss of control. Now the time is right for the id to take over. The id is that part of the psyche that's governed by emotion.

In your dream, the id might be represented by the ghost of the killed sister. Her emotions are so strong, that they submit the bigger sister. She's a life ghost, that ends lifes. There's no way the older sister can defend herself: she depends on the absent mother. Thus the loss of control is complete, and there's fear the worst things will happen if that situation is realised. In your dream description, that worst thing might be the taking of life (it's in there, twice).

But just when the id is on the verge of overpowering the ego, just when the ghost takes the older sister's life, when you're about to completely loose it, the dream ends and you wake up. Perhaps this means that you are afraid of something that didn't happen in your real life. Perhaps it did happen (after all, the little sister did get killed and eaten, but that might also denote an extension of control), and your unconscious mind wasn't able to fully insert it into the dream.


I'd assume you're afraid of loosing control. And you might be afraid just because you never lost control, and don't know what to expect when you do. Perhaps you carry a big responsibility and are afraid of failing?

If you need extra help, you may want to check in the Divination forum here...there's lots of dream analysis threads there, maybe something will catch your eye? ;)
