I've been having dreams about my family why?

Well, lately, I’ve been having dreams about my family. I don’t know what it is though since I’ve been bringing up childhood memories of being there when Christmas comes and such. Then I’ve been having fears of being home with them since I don’t get along with them. How come I’m having all these dreams about them? Is it just loneliness? or would it be other things? Your opinions would be great. Since I’ve been going through counseling, should I tell her as well? I dream that I’m back home putting up with the abuse and such from my mother. Then I have dreams of when I was a child sitting in the living room on Christmas eve with the dogs and my sisters taking one of our gifts and opening it. That’s our trodition for the family since we wait to open our gifts until Christmas Morning. Is this normal? I’m 23 now and living on my own. Anyway, hope you all can share your feedback.

Hi there,

I think it’s normal for around the holidays to bring up past memories. Both negative and positive. It’s also definitely something I would bring up with the therapist – he/ she may help you think of what is “triggering” these dreams and feelings, and may help you find ways to get closure.

Best,

Dara
