I had a terrible nightmare last night.  Myself and a bunch of other people were being held hostage. The woman next to me said she was going to try to do something to help and managed to slip away. One of the people holding us hostage noticed she was gone, and I remember thinking "Oh no, they're going to think I know something."  Sure enough, they started torturing me to try to get me to tell them what she was doing, but I didn't.  I was literally screaming in the dream, then I woke up. I have no idea what could have brought that on, but it was disturbing. I'd appreciate any thoughts.  Thanks.

Das klingt wirklich beunruhigend. Solche Albträume können sich sehr real anfühlen und auch nach dem Aufwachen noch nachwirken. Oft geht es dabei nicht um die konkreten Ereignisse, sondern um Gefühle. Gefangensein. Kontrollverlust. Die Schuld für etwas bekommen, das man nicht getan hat. Stress, Angst oder das Gefühl, für andere verantwortlich zu sein, können solche Träume auslösen, selbst wenn man den Experte für Glücksspiel und Zahlungssystem Zusammenhang nicht sofort erkennt. Die Tatsache, dass du dich geweigert hast, nachzugeben, sagt etwas über deine Werte aus, selbst im Traum. Versuche heute, dich zu erden. Erinnere deinen Körper daran, dass du in Sicherheit bist. Wenn diese Träume häufiger auftreten, solltest du vielleicht einmal genauer hinschauen, was dich in letzter Zeit emotional belastet hat.
