I'm 20 years old and for the last two years I've been having recurring dreams about my father hitting me as a child. He used to beat me especially hard, which led to me being diagnosed with moderate depression.When I was 18 I moved out to live on my own, but I always have insomnia at night and sleepiness during the day. In my dreams, I often have scenes of him beating me, and then I wake up feeling very irritable, and sometimes I even want to take revenge on him. Every day is very frustrating, what should I do?
Hello subject, I'm Happiness with a date 1983.Regarding the interpretation of dreams, the psychoanalytic school believes that dreams are the truest reflection of our inner state. Dreams are often characterized by unsystematicity, discontinuity and unsustainability. This is mainly because when people are sleeping, their willpower is weak and the contents of their subconscious mind will surface to the conscious level, which is the reason why dreams arise.
Based on the content of the dream you described, the scene where you dreamt of your father hitting you, I deduce that you may be under a lot of stress in real life, or even are suffering from some kind of sense of punishment, and you want to fight back but feel powerless to do so. That's why you have this kind of dream.
Based on your current situation, I would personally recommend that you find a professional listener and pour out your recent encounters so that your heart can be nourished, your spirit restored, and you can better cope with the challenges of reality.
I hope my answer helps and I wish you a speedy recovery!
