Dream About Childhood Nightmare
Analyze my dream

This dream was about

I woke up from a nightmare, I was back home, it appeared that the adults where not home, there were a couple of childhood children around, my fathers business partners children in fact, we were in their home. We were often there, on the daily, the children were talking about having to go play a game in the parents room, something about a swimming motion game. This shocked me as it appeared to be more of a situation that adults may be taking sexual advantage of the children under the disguise of playing a make believe game to cover the true acts being performed. In the same dream my grand father showed up as if coming home from work. I apparently had chores to do that I wasn’t aware of, cleaning up a living space? My room perhaps my grandfather was a very short tempered man, when he questioned me about tidying up my room I lied in fear of retaliation and a on the spot beating and said that I had cleaned up my room. Hoping that the the surface tidiness from a glance would suffice. However my grandfather was already triggered and fired up prior to getting back home, he was looking for an outlet. He went in my room and started ripping throngs apart? Pulling the bed away from the wall, undoing bedding and peeling back pillows which revealed a hidden covered up mess that was not cleaned up as expected. His face was bloodshot red with anger, he grabbed hold of a large leather belt and started lashing out at me, striking me over and over none stop over my arms, body and back, the attack came from the front like a monster on the attack, not from behind like a coward. He kept hitting and lashing me with the belt wildly in anger all I could do was whimper and cry trying protect myself from the lashings striking my face or head. He was enraged? I woke up suddenly while trying to protect my self by guarding my face body and head. He was so angry…

Hi Johan, Your dream seems to be an intense reflection of past experiences, and it's clear that these memories are deeply ingrained in your subconscious. The presence of your father's business partner's children might symbolize a part of your past where you felt vulnerable or exploited, possibly reflecting feelings from your own childhood. The second part of your dream involving your grandfather appears to represent fear and anxiety about not meeting expectations. Your subconscious might be manifesting these fears through the image of your grandfather, who in your dream, represents an authority figure with high expectations. The act of him finding the mess could signify your inner fear of being exposed or feeling unprepared. Remember, Johan, these interpretations are based on the information you've provided and the common symbols found within your dream. It's important to reflect on how these interpretations resonate with your personal experiences and emotions.
