jerry,
my mind is boggled. as i mention in my other reply, much of my childhood is missing from my memory. and a lot of what i do remember isn't great. so it is hard for me to pinpoint a situation where i saw or experienced something, told someone, and wasn't believed. it probably happened more than once. it may even be more likely that i didn't tell, but kept the secret, knowing i wouldn't be believed. i can remember that at some point in my childhood, i began to tell myself, "i have food, clothing, shelter....that's all i need." that was my way of coping when emotions were too overwhelming or situations were too difficult.
geez.... i've been in therapy a few times in my life. maybe it's time to go again :-) thanks again, jerry.

How Did You Find the Dream Forum? no

Sally,
I always enjoyed the thought of providing protection to dogs being an animal lover that I am. But after 34 years of the fence business I was ready to move to something else. And to a warmer climate.

Hope the doggies are still enjoying the fence. They have good parents.

About your dream and childhood
The fact your parents were not able to give you the proper parenting could be the emotional crisis in itself. There may be specific experiences but childhood without proper nourishment is a 'trauma' in itself. That was true in my life, never having had a father {a SOB until the day he died} and thus living in circumstances that stunted my growth. If I had had that father I may have been a psychologist {dream psychology being the thing I love doing most}. Fortunately I had the sychronistic event in discovering Joseph Campbell in 1992 or I may still be that lost child. Then with Jung's Individuation Process I was able to reconcile my childhood and discover I do have a talent for interpreting dreams.

As for therapy. It may be important to seek guidance if you have not reconciled your childhood experiences. For me and most people it has an unconscious influence on the person as well as their actions. When I discovered Campbell and Jung I changed completely. From a couch potato, ego centered, sports freak to who I am today. A transformation from who I was influenced to be {childhood experiences} to my true self. If not for a mother who was/is a heroine no telling how bad my life could have been. I was lucky to discover my true self.
Or was it fate and meant to be?
Often such opportunities are provided and it is ignored. That is what Campbell called the refusal of the call in his Monomyth. Perhaps this is your call to be the heroine in your life.
Fate has a strange way of presenting itself.

If you have other dreams you wish to post I am always available.
