Your Messenger message:

"Good morning, sir Tony.

"I often dream about confronting or literally chasing after people who have done me wrong. In real life, I have already told them off and read them to filth. The odd thing is, these days, I don't think about them throughout the day but I have such dreams. I would fall asleep after watching somethig funny, completing my nightly prayer, and donning on my protective crystals, then.. there goes an angry dream. I would literally catch myself talking in my sleep..and this would wake me up.. between around 3am.. to 3:30 am. "Why do I still have these dreams sometimes? "Thank you."


My reply:

Hello _____!

Repression is one of your major defense mechanisms. What you repress--and suppress--in waking life emerges in your dream state via a psychological exhaust.

I suggest replacing this with the defense mechanism displacement. Try engaging in sports, perhaps contact sports, working out, or any activity or hobby that can physically exhaust you. An alternative is choosing a creative outlet like writing, painting, or needlework. Based on the latter suggestions you may infer that I, too, have a lot of pent-up anger--but I choose to channel the energy into producing things that are useful to everyone.
