dreamed, woken up and started destroying

[puniman]

Hello everyone, great forum.
Let me jump to my topic.

I am working as webmaster for one company, few days ago I was working late and went to sleep around 3 am. My laptop was on my night table and I left it on cause I was transferring some files. I was dreaming some system failure and that website content is getting permanently deleted
I was trying to stop the process but couldn't, seems the server was frozen and the only message on screen was something like "deleting files". In panic I woke up, guess it was around 5 am, still dark. I grabbed and ripped the main telephone cord used for dsl connection apart
I guess in matter of seconds I fell asleep again. Next day (11 am) when I woke up, I thought to myself, uff, what a strange dream, but was soon shocked finding a main cord ripped lying on the floor !
I really did it, instead of copping with that nightmare during the dream I fought in reality !
I must say it felt disturbing, I tried to test the strength of the cord and it was nearly impossible for me to break it again during the day or at least very hard.

I remember that when I woke up in the night I just jumped out my bed and ripped that cord in the blink of an eye.

I'm posting this as I was unable to find similar cases (excuse me if they are), but the thing that worries me the most is am I capable of doing something much more dangerous to myself in the future (screw the cord ).

Some info about me: 24 years old, otherwise content with life. I know that dreams are hidden messages, this one I fully understand, I stress myself too much and worry for the website. Living alone, no problems with that. Not scared of the dark (can't sleep with too much light). Astro - Gemini (they say we are kinda weired )

Ups, this post is getting long. Sorry.

Thanks for your help, feel free to ask me questions if needed. I'll stick around, very useful forum this one.

Hi puniman,

This is an anxiety dream. Websites are a LOT of work and it comes as no surprise that you would be afraid to lose your progress. In fact, your dream was so alarming that it woke you up!

With regards to the computer cord, don't forget that when people panic they can do things they otherwise would not (adrenaline can give you incredible speed and strength).

As long as you regularly save your progress on your computer and keep a hard copy you'll be fine. That will give you the reassurance that you won't lose your work so you (hopefully) won't suffer more anxiety dreams.

And don't forget to take some time out for yourself!

Good luck,
Isthider

Hi,
Yes, once I was dreaming of washing my face , I slapped to my face so hard that I woke up.
Dreams are 6-7 groups.
One group are truthful and have interpretations, another are psychological .
One group are Deja Vu and already seen.
One group are messy dreams and have no interpretation.
Another group are caused by bad food and drink.
As much as the dreamer is more honest or a believer his /her dreams are more truthful.

I agree, it must be anxiety. funny thing is that I am doing regular back-ups so the dream situation actually shouldn't happen in reality

I must admit it was quite an interesting experience now that I think about it. The adrenaline rush can really sometimes surprise, it can be well manifested if for some reason you got in an unavoidable street fight, you can do a lot more damage to the opponent and feel little or no pain when taking blows , ok that's off topic

I got another recurring dream that i had, but I'll open new topic about it.

Thanks for your replies.

Dreamsn to me are about IMMEDIATE CONCERNS. Yes you back up your files but really thats not the issue. Think of it this way.The criminals in our world never worry wehen they shoot people and commit crime. Yet the religious worry that they are a sinner. So its the very cautious that worry about the need to constantly back up file content. Its just showing an obsessive nature.

Its neither good nor bad. Mind you ripping out the telephone cord does sound extreme. I doubt it will turn you into a potential murderer overnight.

Try to look at dreams in a completely different way. Dreams symbolise our thoughts and feelings and they represent new feelings on the issues in our life and our attitude to life in general. Psychologists tend to work in reverse. They spot the issues that trigger dreams then look for evidence of those issues within your emotions.

Its not so difficult. If you had just been involved in an argument the day before then look for evidence of that issue and for conflict in general. Your dreams that night may clarify some thoughts on this issue. Try my dream dictionary below and it will help you understand the various symbols.

Next try to read the following two pages as they show you how to analyse dreams in general and how to use dream symbols.

Its not easy but with practice you can start to understand dreams. Sometimes there will be obvious clues. For instance the appearance of your husband or wife may link to issues concerning your marriage.
