I keep having dreams that are like reality, but lack emotion. What's that mean?

Question

I think ever since I can remember and up until now (15) I've had dreams that were much like reality, consisting of people and places I knew.

However, there was always something so eerie and disturbing about these dreams. Perhaps someone said somthing hurtful or hopeful, but I realized that all these dreams that left me feeling strange, literally lacked emotion.

I happen to be very aware of emotions that are mine and that are of others. I've had unusual things happen quite often in my family over the years, so it's been kind of rough. I associate with some rather unusual people too, just much more pleasant.

Mean anything? Ask for more details too if you need any

Answer 1

Childhood trauma can often manifest in emotional coldness or detachment in adulthood; if it is happening only in dreams then that is for the best :)
