Dream/Nightmare

Has anyone else who has been in a psychiatric ward had a dream that they are in hospital again? It might not be the same ward, but you know you're back in hospital.
The other night i had a dream i was in a ward, and i was trying to run away, and two security men were running after me.
Does anyone know what dreams like this could mean? Or has anyone else experienced this?

I love your avatar! I havent had dreams like that. I am sure that you could check online under dreams and maybe find a helpful website though.

It could mean that you're trying to run from your illness rather than turn around, stand firm and face (or fight) it. You may be looking for a way out and have fears of being stopped. If this is a recurring dream, you'll keep having it until you stop and pay attention.
I believe dreams are our intuitive self speaking to us in terms that are easily understood if we really think about it.
Consider how you felt in your dream and how you feel in reality...see where the connections are.

I'm no expert but it seems to me that your dream has something to do with a fear of becoming so depressed that hospitalization will be required.

I just said a little prayer for you. Hope it helps.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
