Answer #1

ok, I’m very sure these must be disturbing. but we often use dreams as a subconcious way of processing things…

has your relationship changed with your dad recently? as in, has he become stricter etc?

most people can’t control their dreams, or if they can, it’s normaly only when they are in a light stage of sleep. what your dreaming is neither your dads or your fault… so please don’t let the ‘hangover’ of a dream affect your life. it’s good your talking about it, because it may make you realse that none of this s within your control. the only thing that anyone can recomend, I think, is to try and figure out if there is a ‘symbolic’ reason for this dream, if nothing has changed, then like the dreams have when my husband is unfaithful or I’m unfaithful to him etc, they need to be dismissed…

going over the graphics and feelings of the dream is unlkely to help. and when you see your dad, just think, is he different? he can’t read your mind, so the only one who is having the burden of this, is you…

try NOT to think about it, as soon as you find yourself ‘reliving’ the dream, distract yourself, re living it s only going to make it occur again…and try and read something tame or placid before you go to bed, something that will completely absorb you…

what a horrible thing, but it’s like any other dream, it’s only because it’s your dad it feels more poignant…

Answer #2

well I’ve had past experienced with nightmares like this and well italked about it with a really trusted teacher and it relieved me of my tension so maybe if you talk about it with your dad or mom or best friend or just maybe your pet dog or stuffed animal it just helps bye talking about it

Answer #3

No, My dad hasn’t done anything wrong. I don’t know what brought me to dream about this, but its been constant, night after night. I have even tried not sleeping, just so it wont happen again.

Answer #4

has your dad been acting differant.im not saying anything or acusing your dad of things but it could of happend to you when you were a baby/young child and you could be remembering things

Answer #5

it’s probably all in your head if you’re feeling uncomforable around your dad at the moment!!… it bugs you so bad that you bring it to sleep and get bad dreams about it! settle whatever is going on between you and your dad and stop thinking about it too much, and I’m sure your bad dreams will go away =)

Answer #6

You may have watched something are heard something recently on the subject and dreamt about it and then thought about the dream so much to the point it happened again and again.Just try to rest about it.It should stop shortly.And if it doesn’t just remember it’s just a dream.It’ll probably be too embarrassing to talk to your dad about it though.

Answer #7

I think that’s horrible and I have something so similar happen to me what I suggest you do is talk to your dad it may be hard to do it but talk to him and tell him your feelings So he can” reasure you that nothing like that can ever happen” and once you talk to him things should be back to normal… So talk an release your feelings because you don’t your going to feel more uncomfortable around your dad and things could get worst so TALK to da Man!!!:-)
