Recurring nightmare from childhood

[dulzian64]

When I was between 5-7 years old I would have this very disturbing, recurring nightmare. In the dream, I was sitting in a wheelchair in a long dark tunnel, kinda like a cave. The wheelchair would always begin to roll, and when I looked back, there would be a skeleton pushing me. It was very frightening. In a couple of the dreams, I could see my family standing together at the end of the tunnel, yet I could never reach them. I'm 26 now, and I still remember these dreams very vividly. That's just how scary they were. Has anyone had any nightmares similar to this before?

Hi,
Dreams of immatured children is about their parents girls is about their mother and boys is about their father.
A wheelchair means a trip a business trip.

If one dreamt entered a cave/ tunnel and dwelled in it means there is a health danger.
If dreamt he entered a cave and got out soon means he will enter a hard job.**********
If dreamt he entered a cave and it was luminous means he will be jailed.
If dreamt entered a cave/ tunnel and there was tight and dark means he will be jailed and there is a death danger.

Good luck.

Hi there. I've actually had recurring nightmares involving caves and tunnels, and this leads me to ask if you've ever been sexually molested/raped as a child? I don't mean to be nosy, but a cave/tunnel often represents female genitals, and when I had nightmares in these areas I believe it was from the pain I felt upon being molested. If you're a woman, this could hold very true; if you're a man, perhaps it represents uncomfortable feelings regarding sexuality.

Also, a wheelchair would usually mean some sort of handicap, as though you felt you weren't capable of doing something independently. Did you have trouble at home as a child? Perhaps you were feeling lonely and afraid during this time, but you felt as though you were all alone in dealing with your problems, and not even your family could help you. You can imagine that this would definitely be a nightmare for a child of that age.

Many dreams, especially nightmares, stay with us for a long time. Usually it's because they impacted us at the time and their message/meaning was very relevant to us, and still is. I remember as a child having a nightmare about a giant whale being in the pool at the YMCA, and to this day I remember it as though I dreamt it last night. I'm still not sure what it means, but I imagine it must have meant something very important at that time of my life. If my answer doesn't shed any clarity on the matter, have you considered looking into buying a dream dictionary? If you can figure out what the dream meant it could put your mind at ease. If not, just tell yourself that it was a problem you had as a child, and if you no longer have the nightmare then the problem must have resolved itself.

Best of luck!
