I am new here and I rarely remember my dreams but I one I experienced last night not only woke me but left me unable to sleep afterwards.
The first I remember; I was in Auschwitz, lying on one of the wooden 'beds' along with one other person. I was freezing cold, with only a sack as a sheet. The person next to me was sleeping and we were sharing this tiny piece of material.
Then three more people came to the bunk. It was barely big enough for two people so when another three came, I was practically falling off the edge. I vividly remember being woken and feeling so cold I wanted to cry. The newcomers were talking, moving around and I recall becoming very angry and irritated at their noise. All I wanted to do was sleep.
The next thing I remember I was stood on a platform, it was daylight and I had just got off a train. The platform was full of 'normal' people; in suits, with children, on their way to work etc. But then there were a few of us in the striped Auschwitz uniforms. We were free and I felt lost and scared. We had simply been dropped off somewhere and left. All the other people from the camp left and I wandered the platform, people trying not to stare at me and avoiding me completely. I lent against a pillar and two people from my old school were there, talking. The looked at me and started speaking to me as if it were lunch-break. They ignored that I was stood barefoot, in uniform, with a shaved head, starving and within an inch of my life.
That's all I remember. I was completely disturbed by this dream. The feelings in the camp were so vivid. I remembered more things that had happened inbetween the two events I mentioned, but I can no longer recall them.
Does anyone know what any of this could mean? I would be truly grateful for your advice. I'm 19, female and at university. The two people from school that were in my dream were both male and one was quite a close friend when I was 13-14. The other I didn't know at all, I took one subject with him in my final year, but we never spoke. I'm baffled as to what this dream means or why those particular people were in it.
Thanks for your help. I find dreams fascinating but know so little about them.
