dreams

i just joined this group and i feel like i can't get enough of it. but, short of commenting on everyone's posts, i'll just keep journaling like a maniac...
 
the dreams are what i want to talk about. when i first got involved with my SO i kinda had an idea that something unstable was going on inside him. but i had no idea how to handle it or what it was, and then things would suddenly be amazing again, so i would just try and let the idea go. but i had a sequence of dreams involving a character named jack. in these dreams jack looked a lot like my man, and sometimes it was him. (his name isn't jack, btw-my SO.) jack was insanely angry, cold, and difficult. in one dream he was having a sort of tantrum and wound up being absorbed into an old chest that was in a cave. i could hear him yelling as he fell into some kind of an abyss. in another dream, a little girl was looking at me while my SO stood a few feet away, sulking and angry, and she said "what's wrong with uncle jack?"
there were some other dreams, but i don't really remember the details. but it was always jack, and it always pertained to my SO in some way or another.
i wonder what was going on in my subconscious. i know there can be word-association in dreams that don't match up, like thinking about eyes and dreaming about ice, and so forth. maybe i was just thinking the situation with him was "jacked up!"
i haven't had any of these dreams in a while. they kind of came in a cluster.
any thoughts?
