Recurring dream: mom hates me.

[icelevistus]

For the past year or so I've been plagued by a fairly recurring dream (more than once a month).

In short, my mom becomes mean toward me. She yells at me or tells me I'm stupid or worthless or laughs at me. Occasionally she's physically abusive as well. It's very traumatic. I usually feel worse during these dreams than during nuclear holocaust dreams.

In reality my mom is very nice. I'm 21 years old and in college right now but I come home a lot and see her.

I have no clue why I keep having this dream.

Hi,
MAybe you can think about how you feel when you visit, then leave your Mom when you go back to college. Do you feel ok about leaving her? DOes she say to you how she "wishes" you stay? IS she having empty nest syndrome? Or..are you having anxieties about making it on your own upon graduation?
I'm guessing that maybe you're afraid of upsetting your mom when you leave the "nest." (not necessarily to the point of abuse....sometimes our dreams overexaggerate.) You don't want her to feel alone?

I hope this helps,
Good Luck
