I had a #dream last night that a former friend, someone I had to cut off rather painfully, saw me in the street and tried to claw at me with her fingernails. I kept trying to push her away, and then she stole my sweatshirt and declared that I'd have to confront her if I wanted it back.

I told her I wanted to be far away from her more than I wanted it back, but she kept following me throughout the dream to different places, like a bakery, a wedding, and a house party, and taunting me about the sweatshirt.

Finally, I was walking through a field, looked up, and saw the ruins of a castle at the top of a hill, where my sweatshirt was hanging from a flagpole. I went to the ruins and saw that my former friend had written something in blood all along the castle walls. Other people showed up, and some told me to call the police, while some said I shouldn't do that. I screamed that I didn't care; I just wanted her to leave me alone! Then I woke up.

#Dreams #Morbid

I don't usually remember my #dreams but this one was #disturbing enough to stand out, and it's been replaying in my mind all day.

I have mixed feelings about #DreamInterpretation and #SigmundFreud, but I can't help feeling like the characters in this dream map to the #Id, #Ego, and #Superego, with my former friend being my id, the police who may or may not be called at the end the superego, and myself as the ego trying to mediate between them.

I also have mixed feelings about #ShadowWork, but I can't help feeling like knowing more about it would be useful in this case. It's like some repressed, wild, and violent part of me is demanding attention that I don't want to give it.
