Wonderful insights! This is all too common. We suppress our emotions and feelings and suddenly something happens out of the blue we don't understand. I don't normally dream much, and last dream I had was quite vivid. I dreamt I was walking down a lane way, that seemed wide and open. There was no-one around and a man with a red jacket passed me by on the opposite side of the road. I felt conscious of being on my own with no-one around but walked on. I then turned back and I saw the man was looking at me from a distance. I then immediately fled and ran to the nearest main road, where there were other people, and then felt safe. Then I woke up and realised it was all a dream!
