I have had recurring nightmares involving my mother and/or sister chasing me or hurting me for many years. They were an integral part of my childhood slumber.
Ten years ago, I stopped all contact with them, and the dreams went away for several years. Unfortunately, they returned three years ago and haven’t departed since. They occur with extreme regularity, almost daily.
Any thoughts?
