There’s a theory that popped up recently that dreams are the way our brain rehearses for things it thinks might happen.
Here’s how I interpret dreams. Instead of getting caught up in the situation, look at the feelings. Also look at how the situation differs from the obvious.
1)I am locked in a house and there’s somebody else inside, most of the times a robber. This prompts me to wake up and check all the doors for the nth time.
I would guess in this dream you feel trapped, and threatened. Where else do you feel trapped and threatened? What is the robber’s goal…i.e.What are you afraid of? How can the robber harm you? What vulnerabilty are you rehearsing?
2) I’m in an airplane that crashes but I survive, though very hurt. (I do a LOT of business travel, so that may be a hint)
Does the crash happen before the dream begins, or is that part of the dream? If so, how do you feel before the crash, during it? In what way are you very hurt? What feelings do those injuries cause? i.e, if you lost your legs in the crash, or you’re impaled on a beam, you might feel very stuck….or very overwhelmed with wreckage.
3) I kill my own family (parents and brothers), usually with a firearm. (In real life I have no problems with my family and never touched a gun)
Is there a reason the dream-you does this or is it a pre-dream reason? Do you feel awful about doing it while it’s happening/after it happens or are you neutral? Do you hate yourself for doing it? Are you glad it’s done? This probably means nothing about your family itself but about a situation that shares power/control/responsibility/vulnerability-issues with this situation.
Anyway, that should be enough to get you going.
