Dream: It always starts out with an imense feeling of terror. My father and I are in the woods running from the sound of four wheelers and chainsaws. These people are hunting us. There are other (what I assume to be) father daughter groups also running for their lives. I know there is a safe place ahead, and sometimes we get close, but we never make it out.
Significant Life Events: There is no specific time that I get these dreams. I used to get them a lot when I was younger. The older I got the more they slowed down, but over 15 years later, I am still having the same dream
Background: I’m a 23 year old Caucasian female
Mental Illness Or Depression: I’ve been diagnosed with depression and anxiety
Location: I’m from Louisiana, USA
Feelings About People: My relationship has changed with my father many times within the 15+ years I’ve had these dreams. When I was younger, my father and mother were not together and living in different states. I would visit him every other major holiday and every summer. I idolized my father. My parents got married and I still had the dream. When they got married I was a young teenager and my relationship with my father was very rough. He went from the “fun dad” to feeling he had to be the “disciplinarian” and I had a lot of hate in my heart for him. Once I got older and went to college, my relationship with my father became stronger than ever and he became one of my best friends.Through all of these stages of my life and relationships with my dad, the dreams continued and they stayed the same (minus how far out of the woods we got)
Relationship Status: Single
When And How Often: I’ve had this dream multiple times for the past 15 years or so.
