Incest Survivors Support Group
Incest refers to any sexual activity between closely related persons that is illegal or socially taboo. Consensual adult incest is very rare. Incest between adults and prepubescent or adolescent children is a form of child sexual abuse that has been shown to be one of the most extreme forms of childhood trauma. If you or a loved one is a survivor of incest, join the group...
Those woods can be either lonely and scary or places of solitude and self-reflection; right now yours are scary.
I hope you don't mind if I try to explain what your dream said to me; after so many years of nightmares, I have had my share of interpretation experience.
I am going to assume you feel alone a lot of the time, even when surrounded by others - I think the trees ARE the other people. Actually I think they are your interpretation of other people, bigger than you, stronger than you and never responding to your cries and screams. And the cuts and scrapes are your perceptions of the pain that comes with the struggle of life.
Are you facing a decision that you can't seem to make? Often such decisions are presented as forks in the road or diverging paths.
Your woods are scary and you feel alone, but you are not alone there. There are a lot of us in that woods looking for our own way and looking for you. Until you stop struggling and allow yourself to feel comfortable with others, allow yourself to see how strong you really are, you may not be able feel good being alone. This will probably take help from a competent counselor or at least a good advocate. And no one will be able to make the choice for which way to go; that is your alone to make. But others will be more than willing to go with you once you make that decision.
Once you have learned to love yourself TOTALLY, to respect yourself above others, the scrapes and pain will diminish and you will find the others in the woods. They are there, just waiting to you to deal with your fears and quieten your screams so you can hear them calling to you.
I hope some of this speaks to you - if not, feel free to toss it and look elsewhere. Again, this is JUST my take on it, and I may be way off, but I do hear your despair.
I wish you my best in your travels - let us know how you are, because I do hear you screaming and I want to reach out to you.
