I have never had a dream like the one last night. The creepiness factor is definitely there.

This is only the end of the dream. I can't share the whole thing.

A very small and annoying man comes along and starts bothering me. I pick him up, take his voice and face and clothes. Basically I take his ability to cry out and defend himself.

I put the little man in my purse. He struggles but I keep him hidden so nobody hears him. He is my prisoner. In my dream I am disturbed that this does not bother me.

Next I run into a lady who notices my purse is moving. She wants to know what it is. I put the helpless little man into a kitten outfit. I tell her he is a kitten.

It is unfair to the little man. But it is his fate. I need to avoid being caught. There is no conscience for the little man's pain.

There was a person who bullied and intimidated me when I was growing up. That is how my bully thought. Very cold. Doing what worked for him. Deceiving to avoid getting caught, thinking it was my fate made perfect sense because he had no conscience.

Anger from being bullied has overshadowed my entire life. As a result, I have felt like a victim. But I am ready to change. I don't want to be a victim anymore.

In my victim mindset I have taken from others in a callous, uncaring way. I kept trying to discuss my traumatic experiences with my family members, but they got to the point they did not want to hear it. I did not see how I was manipulating them into an uncomfortable position so I could find a small moment of relief.

I had transferred this "taking prisoners" action to them. It solved nothing. This dream exposed selfishness I need to understand. I am going to use it to get a better understanding of myself and others.

Could you be the person in the purse as well as the person who puts other people in the purse?

In other words, by being so angry for all these years, have you put yourself into a trap by shutting yourself off from the goodness that exists in some other people?

You can be a victim of the actions of other people as well as a victim of your own anger.

You said all of that so well, I can't add anything. I think it's all true. So insightful!

Wish the earlier part of the dream wasn't so creepy or I would add it. Do people put creepy stuff in here, lol?

I would love to see what you think of it.

I don't know what you mean by creepy, but dreams can be pretty shocking so it's expected that when people post about their dreams you might read something that is bizarre or upsetting.

Thank you. I have been thinking about the dream and it's starting to make sense now. I appreciate this forum. I intend to continue reading and learning about dreams. Thanks for assuring me they can get a little bizarre.
