Essense Cruz,
Thanks for the detailed response. I sensed issues with your mother as well as your father but because I know so little about you personally {your age and gender is all I have to work with outside the dream itself} I am only able to discern an outline of what the emotional issues are. What was clear and important was the inclusion of age which always reflects actual experiences. This dream doesn't spell out in any detail the severity of the physical/psychological abuse {as much as dreams will do in specifics} but it is likely other dreams have and will do so. Working through the issues by examining the experiences as thoroughly as possible will help bring out the emotional energies that need resolution. This is what dreams attempt to do, help the dreamer understand the emotional issues so there is an effort to understand why and the reasons they exist with the end game being a resolution to the issues. Although you have found an outlet to the abuse in the military the underlying issues remain. There may be more work needed. As long as you continue to have these dreams indicates emotional energies still exist that need resolution. Even at a later age in life it is important to resolve the issues if you wish to 'be all you can be' in life.
