Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
well, I know this is crazy, but here it goes,
I was in another huge fight with my mother, I am so tired of her.
She has a problem with being paranoid about everything.
Now, she doesn't want me to go tent camping or get a safe heater with the CO2/oxygen safety monitor on it. she thinks I am going to die
Well, I was at my Dr. office today and he said that he would not let his daughter go out of town becuase he had a bad feeling. So, she did not go out of town, and the tsunami happened, on the beach, where she was supposed to be, so he said, "moms know.'
My dad thinks the safety thing will fail.
Odd thing is, I had this nightmare the other night, that two people from our camp were in coffins. It didn't make any sense, they said in my dream that they died from 'playing a smothering game.' When I woke up, I thought it was because they had a bad relationship. Then, later it popped in my head, that smothering would happen from this kind of poisioning.
I don't want to live a paranoid life. Or maybe I can just get an electric heater. I know the dr. is right sometimes there are signs and stuff like that.
I don't know what to think of this. Yeah, mom could be right, and I do have pretty predictive dreams, etc. but, fact is mom is freaking terrified of everything to the point where I can't talk to her, she won't get on planes, etc. This all seems irrational. I don't know what to think.

I believe in that stuff, too. Though dreams aren't always or often literal, but they're symbolic and represent your subconscious, hidden emotions, life situations, etc; there are various theories on why people dream. Interpreting dreams is often a useful form of psychoanalysis. I usually love to. :p
This is dream is probably something I'd have to know more about the situation and be in your shoes, but it seems that in dreams, people often project their feelings and pain onto others. The people, representing you and your situation. Possibly, you and your mom's relationship? You initial thought about a "bad relationship" could have been right. "Smothering" was symbolic; no one dies since everything was symbolic. Just, a relationship needs to bee improved, either way.

what do your gut feelings tell you about it? they're alwways right
