Hi, I was just dropping by to ask for some advice/interpretation regarding a reoccurring theme in some of my nightmares over the years that just doesn't make sense to me.

I've recently realized that ever since I was about five years old, I have had nighmares about an Asian woman (yes, weird, I know). The setting and situations change every time, but the Asian woman is still there. The first time I remember dreaming about her she was wearing like, a military skirt uniform and had on bright red lipstick. She was tearing around my old house trying and find me, and so I hid in a sort of underground bunker listening to her footsteps pound around, waiting for her to come kill me.

The last time I dreamed of her (as a nineteen year old) there was three of her and she was younger than previously. I was sitting on a random sofa that was inside the museum where I work. There was a television showing a distuirbing horror movie that, in my dream, I really did not want to see. (And no, I had not seen any horror movies in months in real life) While this movie was going on, the three of them walked out of a shadowy corner and approached me saying "make a deal with us...strike a deal with us..." It was incredibly creepy feeling to hear them say this. I kept saying to myself "No! No! It's not worth it!" and them I woke myself up sleep talking, lol.

another curious experience that I had with this same person is that when I had to have surgury, I had to take some sort of medication that made me pretty much delirious. And although I don't remember this, my mom told me that in the middle of the night, I ran crying into her room and told her that there was an Asian woman standing by my bed.

does anyone have a suggestion as to why this might be happening? I can give more information if needed. I just have no idea why my subconscious manifests in this form...I mean, I love Asian cultures and people, and even plan to adopt a child from China one day, so I really don't understand why this woman is portrayed so negatively in my dreams. What could she symbolize? Or do I just have a particularly random subconscious?
