Do dream catchers really work?
She still haunts my dreams. Even though I have managed to cut myself off from her semi-permanently I cannot escape her when I sleep. I often dream about her lately. I hate it. Last night I slept very badly. I woke up crying. This morning at work talking to Leebeesa about it I started crying all over again. Luckily we were discussing it via IM. She is so concerned about me, if I say ‘ow’ she makes sure I’m OK. It’s sweet 
Every time I dream about My Evil Mother we are in a shop. Most of my previous dreams I was shopping for Christmas decorations. Last night it was normal grocery shopping and my stepfather was also there. After shopping we walked past the ice cream stall. I wanted some and my stepfather started shouting at me. I felt really vulnerable and hurt by this. I think I was a child in the dream. After this My Evil Mother was threatening to have debit orders put on my bank account and that I couldn’t stop her from doing this. It’s possible. I assure you. She has done this to my grandfather and he struggled his bum off to get it stopped.
I am still terrified of her. Emotionally I know she has the ability to flatten me. She’s always been an expert manipulator. Financially she has flattened me before, but I did allow that to a certain extent. She no longer has an ounce of trust with me. I will never allow her to take advantage of me like that again.
I think I’m worried and afraid of her trying to elbow her way into my life once our baby is here. She’ll wail and scream injustice. She’ll tell me that I’m depriving her of her grandchild. She’ll fling insults at me. She’ll hurt me all over again. I don’t want my child to be exposed to her bad side and unfortunately, that comes with the little bit of good in her. She’ll use our child to get attention. When we lost Jamie…it was all about her that lost a grandchild, a lot less about me who was no longer going to be a mother.
I can’t control my dreams. I need to get her out of them. How? I don’t believe there are unresolved issues as such. I am bound to her…bound by blood, until death do us part. I will never be rid of her. I just wish she would leave me alone, everywhere.
As for my grandfather, his nightmare has temporarily come to an end. He went to see his oncologist today and has been put off chemo for 3 months. He had a really bad reaction to the first treatment a couple of weeks ago. He still has a rash covering his entire body. It looks like he has chicken pox. He discussed the cucumen with his oncologist and the doctor said he could try that for the 3 months that he will not be receiving chemo and they’ll schedule him for a cat scan to see if there has been any improvement. Chemo could still be an option after that. He is over the moon and I am happy that he is happy and that he is taking advice from the doctor who has been caring for him.
Now…Do dream catchers really work?
No.
There is a pattern to make your own dream catcher on the internet I will see if I can google it for you. It might work better if you make it yourself. I actually have a dream catcher made by Native Americans I think for the most part it works. Your mom is unfortunately a nightmare for you, I wish it wasn’t so :O( Hugs
Where did you get your dreamcatcher from??
I don’t have one!
I really do not know if these things work and I am not going to try it any time soon. I feel that it is something which people make money off.
I am sorry to hear your mother is haunting you in your dreams. Hope this get better.
Perhaps a logical explanation why you have been dreaming of her so much lately: Pregnancy hormones tend to make one dream of funny things and make you dream stuff you do not like.
*Hugs*
( Give the dream catcher a try, it cannot do any harm!)
Ive used dream catchers before and I think they do work. We have one in Aarons room and so far as I can tell he doesnt have nightmares. why not give it a try, it cant do any harm.
I hope your dreams are sweet tonight and all the nights after! (((hugs)))
Weird dreams, Nightmares and Erotic dreams are all just another sucky part and parcel of being pg – thanks to the flux of hormones.
They are a reflection of the multitude of supressed fears you have for both you and your baby – concerns about the pregnancy, the birth, and/or your ability to be a parent. They can be triggered by what you are worrying about, reading, watching or something subconcious it is how our minds try to process and resolve potential problems or fears.
I had nightmares too – both times were birth related though (suppose my erotic dreams were also a bit nightmarish both times around Gareth Cliff featured eeuueeeeeeeeeek).
Get a dream catcher but maybe rather actually sit down and think about what you fear and write it down sometimes just getting the fears out makes them go away.
I figured the hormones had something to do with it. To be honest, I don’t mind the erotic dreams so much…just the ones about My Evil Mother. She didn’t feature last night – perhaps because of this blog post. Gareth Cliff? DOUBLE EEWWWWW *shudder*
lol I know in my defense I was pg when idols was on, you see a face often enough it surfaces in your dreams
I wish there was a way *not* to dream about something… but thats where our subconscioius resides!
