ORIGINAL: PeonForHer Oh, and I'm in absolute agreement with the view that dreams are not the whole of the psyche, nor do they represent the truth of feelings. If people are anxious about something, they'll dream about being chased by bears. But they don't ask if they're going mad because bears don't actually roam the streets of London or New York . The same holds true for desires. A sadistic little buzz to pinch someone gets translated into flogging escaped slaves to death on a plantation. For instance. Dreams are just feelings that the conscious, rational mind has let run free as a result of that rational mind shutting down (mostly, though not completely) while you sleep. The feelings bustle around, making noise, being boisterous and going completely over the top - like small children when their parents aren't around. Dreams aren't you, or your mind as a whole - they're just your dreams. I agree with this. Having only read to this point in the thread, I may be repeating here, but the subconscious mind can also exaggerate. While the dreams might be extreme, they are probably based on something very small. It may very well be that the extent of the sadism isn't the basis, but you may just be craving more play in your life.
