Hey, i apologize for not responding immediately.Your interpretation seems very accurate. Me and my mother's relationship has never been good. As a child she abused me. Recently i tried to contact her, and to put it simply, she has not changed. My father's girlfriend and i have a horrible relationship as well. We have never gotten along. I despise her actually. I got that kind of a feeling with the woman in the dream, although i do not remember the face of the woman exactly. I have tried previously to harm myself, which is in the past of course. I have seen a therapist about it.(That's a shameful part of my life.)I think the biggest issue i have with my mother, and moving on, is that i just can't get over it. My father expects it not to bother me, but how can it not? Although me and him have a pretty good relationship. Anyways your look on the dream, was scary accurate. Thank you for taking the time to look over it. I appreciate it very much.

Mel,
I appreciate the response. One aspect I want to comment on {it seems my analysis was correct} is the 'shame' associated with seeing a therapist. There is nothing shameful about that. In fact it is a positive that you did see one {whether or not it helped}. Not doing so would be the shameful thing, not doing what is needed to help with good psychological health. If you were seriously ill physically you would see a doctor. Why not the same psychologically? WE ALL have deep emotional issues and most would be better off if they saw a psychologist or therapist to help resolve. If you don't resolve the emotional issues they will continue to be in your dreams. Dreams are self therapy, their intent is to inform the dreamer of emotional issues that need resolution. If they remain unresolved they will unconsciously have control over your conscious life. Your attempt to harm yourself is indicative of these unresolved issues. I recommend you continue {or begin again} to see a therapist to help you with your problems.
