Nightmares
Your brain is trying to wrestle with your emotions. I think the man signifies your father and the woman you feel betrayed by is your mother, hence drowning or cutting her throat. As for the sadistic side of your dreams - it possibly could be a way for you to avoid being intimate as you have had a lot of traumatic issues around coming out and quite possibly feel some shame over that still. I had similar dreams and had a terrible time working through them but came to realize with the help of a good therapist that I was trying to cut off ties with potential love so I would not get harmed emotionally again.

Sadism
I doubt you are sadistic, but your mind is just looking for a way to survive all of this. I look forward to the advice that Cathy you and please know that you are not alone and that everything will be alright. Thanks for sharing your letter.

Thanks for Being here.
Hello Cathy and WYP fans. SheWired's editor here. I want to thank everyone for coming back to SheWired after a harrowing week of tech issues and tenacious hackers. Our tech team spent the weekend ensuring the site was good to go. Some of you may notice residual formatting issues with the site, which we are aware of and working to correct. I want to thank all of you for your patience and for revisiting us. And of course I must thank Cathy for being such a great presence on the site! Cheers! Tracy

Great dream analysis book
I was in psychotherapy for several years with a therapist who helped me analyze my dreams. I found this really helpful and part of my healing process. As I understand it, part of ourselves is trying to tell ourselves something important using metaphors and images that are important to us. I came across a book several years ago that reminds me very much of the process I went through with my therapist. I couldn't be any more enthusiastic about this book: IT IS GREAT. You can learn about different schools of thought about dreams, but you can skip that part and get right to the practical stuff. This is so different from the "dream dictionary" approach. You can do it yourself, although the author also recommends finding a "dream partner" if that appeals and is possible. This is a step-by-step technique that helps you discover meaning in your dreams. There is a special section for nightmares. "All About Dreams" by Gayle Delaney. http://www.gdelaney.com/ B, I know you have a lot of people out here rooting for you. Best of luck in your healing journey.

Interesting subject matter
I find it disconcerting that I don't dream anymore. I used to have lovely vivid lucid dreams and now I don't. I think dreams are the way the subconscious deals with matter it may not be able to handle while we are awake. It's a gentle nudge. Thanks Cathy and Lucia, another fantastic wyp. Look forward to Thursday and taking the gloves off.

B...
I didn’t see the show so I don’t know what advice was given, but something else that may be helpful [on the side] is meditation, even if it’s just a simple one to calm your mind. Here’s one that may be useful... Mindfulness of Breathing: Do stretches, wave limbs, roll shoulders forward/back, head side to side (but not forward/back) – loosen muscles. Sit on a chair either at edge or against back rest, or on the floor on cushions. Keep your back straight but relaxed. Be aware of sensations in feet, contact with floor, feel them sink into floor. Work awareness of body from feet to head (i.e. feet, shins, thighs, bottom, back, arms, neck, head) Then: • Breathe in and out through your nose. • Count to ten in following pattern: Breathe out – count 1 – breathe in – breathe out – count 2 – breath in... • Repeat for a while • Then alter counting to ten as follows: Breathe in – 1 – breath out – breath in – 2 – breathe out... • When thoughts pop into your head bring your concentration back to your breathing. • After a while stop counting and continue your breathing rhythm. • When you want to come out of it make yourself aware of the noises around you, the room around you, be aware of your body and come out of it slowly. Don’t worry or become frustrated if your mind wonders while you’re meditating, it’ll happen, just let it pass. The meditation above is very good for stilling the mind. Even 10 minutes of meditating can have quite an effect. Good luck B. [ps breathe deeply]
