Skittles,

Do you remember this happening? My therapist always reminds me that dreams are often what we are afraid happened, not necessarily what happened. If you don't have memories of abuse, this dream doesn't have to mean you were. On the other hand, if you think you were, but can't remember the pieces, this might be a dream full of them.

If you take a dream as all parts of you, your father in the dream could represent your gate-keeper trying to keep you from going back and telling. It is interesting that as you run you get younger and younger. Going back to safer times? or going deeper into your hidden self?

I'm sorry it comes so often and it terrifies you. One of the techniques we've tried is to visualize another ending for the dream. How about when the handle turns, the door is locked. Or, you stand up on the bed and yell at him to go away. I assume you've told your therapist about this and are getting help?

Hugs from me.
Daisy
