[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 610760, member: 1721"] Gads, I HATE nightmares. These sound like some doozies, Witz. I wondered whether the hacking off of limbs and the inability to get into Heaven had to do with your family. Taking the drastic action of hacking them off you, to have it over with, once and for all, ending something you need as desperately as you need your limbs to be strong. It could be that the Heaven part had to do with acknowledging that, for you, there is never going to be identification with family. I have worked pretty hard to make believe my family of origin can become the family I think everyone else has, Witz. It would seem like heaven to me, to have had the kind of security and love I think is par for the course in "real" families. It makes sense to me that if the nightmares have to do with your intention to cut off believing in, or ever trying again with, your family, that you would also dream you would never, ever get into heaven. Part of that may have something to do with refusing the role your family assigned you. At some level, however crazy it was, we believe the family dynamic was right and true. You may feel some guilt at refusing the role assigned to you, Witz. But you are right, in refusing to be the scapegoat, ever again. Cedar [/QUOTE]
