    Some dreams are like old, abandonned cemetary; old bones laying under the soil, mostly forgotten but lingering still.

    I am in the old house, with my family. My sister and father are cooking, the table is dressed in the kitchen. Their part of it is bathen is a golden glow, but it fade before reaching my mother and me. Nobody seem to notice, and they bring the food to the table, and everyone get a hearty helpful of pan roasted potatoes and bacon bits. It smells wonderful, my family is joking around and laughting, but I can't. Deep down, this feels sublty wrong, like I'm seeing everything through a deforming glass. The food taste good, but my stomach is tight. I feel cold and remote, I want to leave.

    I wonder how many time my subconscious is going to dig up the ghost of my childhood and the corpse of my parent's marriage.

      Sounds like quite an emotional dream, thanks for sharing!
      I like the way you describe the scene too, I can really get a vivid image in my head.
      I have some things from my past that haunt my dreams too. Sometimes I think they're nudging us to stop burying them so we can really let them go... but then again, dreams can be pretty strange and random, so who knows if they have any hidden messages.

      Family is a complex subject for me, I feel that putting thoses dreams out rather that keeping everything inside helps ^^ I tend to keep things bottled up and I realize more and more that it's harmful on the long run. On a lighter note, thanks for the compliment, I pretty much taught myself english, so that's a treat when I manage to convey images like I do in my native language

      Up to you but Dr Meoh would say:
      Tightness in your stomach suggests the chakra that governs control is blocked...
      That must have been a time when you really felt you had no control. As a result that chakra's energies are still real blocked.
      Meditate about the dream if you can just bringing it to mind and then do some nice slow abdominal breathing.

      oh and btw
