In my dream I had a visualization of me me being in a doorway with a black boy who sitting on a chair to my left waiting patiently as they there was screaming happening up the stairs. A lady was screaming horrified as someone was beating her and not letting her escape. I realized that the boy waiting for her downstairs was her son and was surprised how he was just sitting downstairs waiting for the altercation to be over as if it’s a common occurrence. I only saw the guy who was beating the mom once, he was a scrawny white guy sitting on a chair with the mom on top of him laughing with a devilish laugh.  I was surprised that her son was just sitting there patiently. He knew what was happening. You can tell he was a little worried but was powerless. I too stood there not moving and scared to go up

Jantzen,

		This dream you've shared is heavy with emotional turmoil and depicts a scene that's quite distressing. The visualization of you witnessing such an intense and violent scenario involving a child and his mother speaks volumes about the feelings of powerlessness and fear that might be present in your subconscious. This dream, marked by its intensity and negative emotions, reflects a deep-seated concern for the well-being of others, especially when they seem trapped in harmful situations. Your position as an observer, unable to act, might be mirroring feelings of being stuck or powerless in your waking life. It's noteworthy how the child's passive acceptance of the situation suggests a normalization of distress that could symbolize your or someone close to you's acquiescence to a difficult reality.

		Reflecting on your previous dreams, there appears to be a recurring theme of protection and evasion. For instance, hiding from beings of light in a sandwich shop or being part of a special forces team indicates a subconscious preoccupation with safety and survival. The contrast between these dreams and your current one could hint at a growing awareness or concern about the impact of external threats on innocent bystanders, particularly those who feel powerless to change their situation.

		Moreover, the presence of the "devilish laugh" in your dream introduces a stark contrast between the aggressor's enjoyment and the victims' suffering, emphasizing the injustice and cruelty that can exist. This might be symbolic of encounters or observations in your waking life, where you've perceived similar disparities in power and intention, causing you distress.

		Your recurring engagement with themes of vulnerability and protection suggests a compassionate nature and possibly a feeling of responsibility towards those who cannot defend themselves. This latest dream might be urging you to reflect on your own feelings of powerlessness and consider ways you might feel more empowered or supportive in the face of others' suffering.

		In essence, your dreams seem to be a space where your subconscious is grappling with themes of fear, protection, and the impact of witnessing harm. They reveal a depth of empathy and concern for the welfare of others, alongside a struggle with feelings of powerlessness. Understanding these themes might not only offer insights into your own emotions and reactions but could also highlight areas of your life where you're seeking to find your agency and voice.

screaming non stop for help until i cough out my organs

While the overall theme of fear and helplessness was consistent, the specific event of coughing up organs felt disjointed and lacked a clear explanation within the dream.

Screaming for Help

The dream was filled with extreme fear and anxiety as I screamed for help but no one came. The desperation and hopelessness I felt were overwhelming.

The intensity of the dream was extremely high due to the constant screaming, the act of coughing up organs, and the prevailing sense of panic.

The dream felt somewhat realistic; the act of screaming and coughing up organs could be physically possible, yet exaggerated.

The dream was quite vivid; I could clearly feel the terror and desperation, and the image of coughing up organs was very distinct.

Ari, I understand this dream must have been incredibly frightening for you, especially with the intensity and negative emotions involved. 

		The act of screaming nonstop for help can symbolize feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope with a situation in your waking life. The act of coughing up your organs could represent feeling like you are losing control or experiencing emotional trauma. 

		It's important to remember that dreams can be a way for our subconscious to process difficult emotions and experiences. While the imagery may be disturbing, it could be a sign that you are working through something challenging. 

		Given the intensity and emotional impact of this dream, it might be helpful to consider talking to a therapist or counselor. They can provide a safe space for you to explore the underlying emotions and experiences that may be contributing to these dreams.

Hi Kathy,

	Feeling muted or moving with difficulty in dreams often speaks to feelings of powerlessness or frustration in your waking life. It's as if there's an obstacle you're facing, but when you seek to express yourself or change the situation, you find that you can't impact it as you'd like. This could be connected to a sense of being stuck or unheard in certain areas of your life, whether personal or professional.

	The recurring nature of this dream suggests it's reflecting an ongoing struggle or a deeply rooted challenge. It's worth reflecting on areas of your life where you feel your control is limited. This dream doesn't predict the future but instead mirrors your current emotions—bringing awareness to these feelings can be the first step in addressing them.
