Life threatening situations

Finding yourself in life threatening, scary situations at some point in a dream vision may mean that your quality of life and sleep are being affected by past trauma. You may have been in situations in the past where you felt danger, fear or other negative emotions. You probably avoid thinking about these events because you believe ignoring them would keep your brain safe and your feelings happy. However, you are likely being dishonest with yourself. Freud himself clearly acknowledged the power of the subconscious in his theories, so even though it is difficult, you would likely enjoy more positive emotions and pleasant dreams if you get help for whatever you are dealing with in wake life.
