Dreams can bypass our ethical "Super Ego", yes.

Quote:
The superego is the ethical component of the personality and provides the moral standards by which the ego operates. The superego’s criticisms, prohibitions, and inhibitions form a person’s conscience, and its positive aspirations and ideals represent one’s idealized self-image, or “ego ideal.”

https://www.britannica.com/science/superego

This is totally normal.
It is the result of the evolutionary process. 8)

But it could also mean the realisation/manifestation of the (unrealistic/irrational) metaphorical pain the parents may have experienced.

In other words, perhaps Tay is unreasonably blaming herself?

I could interpret your dream in two ways.
But I have never studied the field, so it wouldn't mean much. ;)

Do you have any idea what it may mean, assuming there is any meaning at all?



Would appreciate it. Do not want to go thinking about it too much.

Your brain is doing what all brains do, during REM sleep.
Trying to work out the emotional wrinkles.
It isn't a big deal, and it is totally normal.
It really does help you to get through your feelings, over time.
Unfortunately, it can be a bumpy journey, some times. 8O

You may have noticed.
I'm a great fan of sleep therapy. :mrgreen:

Im not sure if you heard about Dr Kevorkian, he proposed euthanasia of terminally ill ppl who went through such pain and had no treatment.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kevorkian

There is a movie about this person and how he secretly did such things and he would listen to the ppls stories and their families or close ones and decide if he was going to put them out of their misery; at one time he was met with a depressed person, but he denied him. He said depression can be cured, and that he cannot do it for him because he can still regain his life back.

Dreams prepare the mind for bad events, or they come when the subconscious senses that you've been stressed. Freud also said they may hide desires.

It could be preparing you for stressful events. Maybe something in your life changed before it, or was going to change with you knowing.

Its a wonderful movie imo, but he did it illegally. I think killing people would not be an easy task to do though, because of its implications and the theory of changing their minds. There were some patients who did while he was doing it.

I don't believe in death sentences but I do believe those put away for life with no chance of getting out should be given the option. That way anyone wrongly convicted can stay alive to challenge it, but those who know they're guilty can exit if they wish. Prisons should be about reform. For those who cannot or will not reform, and can never be trusted, I don't see why we should keep them alive if they don't want it. Revenge? That just makes us as bad and as cruel as they were.

Because that would increase crime because the wait is gone, and add to it more suicidal people than are involved. Some, like my ex, join the army. A greater number of narcs want suicide, some do it to themselves in prison. NPD is quite common in inmates.

Also because that would diminish victims' closure and the notion of consequences which even in relationships is necessary, it is not cruel.

Being imprisoned can't compare to being raped, for example. It can't be just as cruel. It's like sitting at home for a while, some read, some watch tv, play cards, sell crafts, work, get on the internet, yet within limitations.

A great percentage of inmates in prisons who allow victims to meet with their offenders stop re-offending. In many prisons that contact is prohibited. Offenders who are let to feel remorse for their actions will more likely not do the same. It's called Restorative Justice.

I do believe that inmates need psychotherapy. But free psychotherapy? Not even full-righted people who really need it get it, sadly.

Yes hopefully that the case. I did have to drink coffe today to stay awake. I'm gonna need a replace the caffeine tomorrow. Maybe 5 hour energy. Oo or slushie. Ice cream. Oreos.

Your mood changes remind me a tiny bit about an anime vampire who changes between two forms of herself. I really like her more than classic vampires.



Both borderline and bipolar have mood swings, sometimes misdiagnosed but the timespan between them differs and some symptoms.

Haha maybe someone slightly upset you.

Now if you dream of kissing someone.. xD maybe it's more accurate

A high amount of what we dream we don't remember when waking up. The process is beneficial to the brain and it wipes some buildup, and in that process who knows how memories are turned around.

Depends on how you feel about it.
It may be e.g. anger you're conciously trying to restrict.
Or it could be fear.
Or both.
Or their suffering you sense below the surface.

A lot of things. But if the dream releases some feelings in you, they're likely worth looking into.
