Dreams

[moonwise]

I've been having the kind of dreams I hate the most recently - not the nightmare kind (which seem to center on zombie attacks, figure that out) but the ones that leave me feeling annoyed or upset when I wake up.

One is the "I'm Thirsty" dream, where I wander around constantly drinking water and never feel refreshed. Very similar to the "Nose is Stuffy" dream.

The other is a dream where I'm screaming at someone, I mean really really letting them have it with both barrels, only the person in question is someone I know in real life who I have absolutely no bone to pick with whatsoever. The person in my dream gets very upset, and then I wake up upset that I hurt someone who didn't deserve it, only it didn't happen in real life. Had that one last night, and I am still feeling a need to apologize to the person I yelled at for being such an irrational and colossal bitch.

Anyone got an explanation for this?

I think I've had dreams like that too, and also dreams where the person is enraged at me. I don't know what causes them, but they're not very restful. That sort of intense anger isn't something someone should feel when they're sleeping.

I guess it might have something to do that I'm a person who shies away from confrontation a great deal, and I try to shuffle my anger aside, but it doesn't actually go away. Even if it's at person who hasn't done anything worth getting upset about, it might be a way for the subconsious to let off some built-up frustration and anger?
