I know someone who has extremely disturbing and gory dreams. She dreams about sawing her own feet, bloody babies and the like. What causes such dreams?

Question

Dreams are the unconscious mind's way of processing various experiences that may be important to the individual. In this case there is an underlying fear that manifests in this form of dreams. Unexpressed fear can release itself in these dreams. Interpretation is very subjective but it is possible to wager a guess. In this dream it could indicate that this person is going to be restrained from travelling anywhere or even from venturing into any entrepreneurial deals. The failure of these ventures is also indicated. Sometimes, the fear may cause flatulence and this can also trigger gory dreams. I recommend that this person seeks some counseling and deal with these fears.
