Your Dream

Because this is a very dark dream points to continued unsettled emotions. Was this a recent dream, one that occurred before or after your first posts? Although you are making ground in your journey to better understand your emotional self and in personal growth, unconsciously there are still many things to be worked out. This maybe a focus on the fears about your grounding and parent's involvement in your life. To better understand those early life influences/experiences may be what needs to be worked out. These are motivating energies, unconsciously driving you to be something other than you should be and do things in a manner that benefits your personal growth. Trying to rescue them is a heroic deed but the need to rescue yourself may be what needs to be a priority. It may be difficult to do but as long as you have unconscious energies working against you, especially because they involve earlier experiences with your parents, it may be impossible be able to help them. You can't change them in an instant and to put those needed energies elsewhere {instead of yourself} may be to no avail. As you stated in your response, "It never really stopped; the type of turmoil just seems to change." the cycle must be broken or it will continue as is.

Spend time on the motivators. Go back to early life and see what happened as a child that would have left strong impressions on your psyche. The type personalities of your parents is important since you will either imitate those or rebel against them {or a mixture of both}. A lack of good parenting is always a factor. Specific experiences that you may vaguely remember should be looked at and see what else comes up. A concentrated examination of your early life will bring about memories long forgotten consciously but not unconsciously. After you do this look at yourself and see how it all fits.It will fit because those early life experiences/influences are the ground of your personality and your life {in the present and future}. It is good you are doing this at an early stage in life because if you leave it as is the motivators will not only continue to exert its energies, but it could get worse. You are on the right track/path. Put as much time possible into it because that is what is needed to bring up the unconscious energies so you can 'see' them clearly. They have been relegated to the depths and must be brought back up. When you understand them then you must act to resolve what ever remains of their ability to influence your psyche. To know/understand them and do nothing i probably the worst thing that could be done. Yo are merely adding another layer of energy to their existence.
