Dreaming of being held down?

Question

I had a dream I was in my living room being held down by a nerd, a goth guy, and a punk girl with like the short hair. There was also one adult there, he was a bald black guy and he just sat on my couch as these kids held me down. I remember clawing at them and trying to get free, but I never said "Let me go!", I never said anything at all. So after clawing at the goth guy in the face for a long time, they finally let me go. I was so angry and frustrated. The punk girl then said "All you had to say was "Let me go." with an evil grin. I then said "Oh yeah thanks, you fake poser, and YOU *pointing at the black guy* didn't do anything to help!" That's it. I was so terrified after waking up from that dream that I cried for a good 20 mins, I felt so trapped and helpless.

And if it helps these kids were around the same age as me 17-19.

Answer 1

You felt held down by your father for many years and his gf or second wife and another person were all against you ; but the day came that you got out of there ; even so ; in those days and years you were not able to say ;; let me go ; and still today ; you have some resentment about this period in your life

Answer 2

Some peers of years are indeed holding you down socially or at work.

Answer 3

These people who held you down are shadow aspects of your own personality.  You despise these type of people.

The reason your so upset over the dream is because it's telling you that "YOU" are no better than they are.  We are all human, but have different perspective and opinions in life.  What's wrong with that?  If everyone agreed with your way of thinking then we would all be happy and get along.  But as you see, not everyone agrees and holds the same opinions as you, and that causes conflict.  Let people be who they are and accept them.

I have a poem that a child wrote on this topic.

It's time to use our heads, connecting with our hearts.

Lets stop imposing on each other's own, this might be a place to start.

Let's put away our differences, though different let us be.

Like leaves that have their own place, yet they all grow from the same tree.

Learn to love and accept other people and you will quit feeling trapped and held down.  This will free you emotionally.

Good luck!
