Some time back, I had a dream of my dad attacked by a tiger, I killed the tiger.
Recently I dreamed he drowned, and in another part of the dream he was riddled by arrows.
next night I dreamt he was in a happy state of mind, though can't recall other specifics of the dream.

Hi,

Do you have children? If not, are you thinking about it?

Cheers,

Dear Jaquar,
Is your dad still on the planet? If not, did he go through alot before he passed. If on the planet is there alot of emotional stuff going on with him?

no kids, and my dad is very much alive.Yes there are pretty emotional ups and downs in my dads life to date, though thge recent one is that the black sheep of the family,(my adopted older brother) is causing him some grief. My da had an operation but my bro didn't bother to call or call in to see him even though he had it on the best authority about the situation, he spent the whole week on the beer.
Best call me da tomorrow c how he's faring.
Thanks for you interest.

Hi,

I was just wondering whether all the dad dreams might reflect your Unconscious bringing up the issue for you and perhaps some mixed feeling you have about marriage and kids.

Cheers,

Dear Jaquar,
Does sound like you are protective of your dad. If your brother is on the beer then he is not going to be emotionally supportive nor capable of that. Like going to the hardware store to buy a loaf of bread. Your dad is lucky he has you though and glad your last dream he was happy. Hope his recovery goes well.

Thanks, his recovery is going well.
As to me thinking of marriage and kids. Maybe there's an issue there, but at the moment am going through questioning my sexuality. very confused and phobic 'bout it. Also If I should tell my folks. Tricky.

Dear Jaquar,
I appreciate your honesty. Wow ! Sounds like you're going through alot. Have you thought of maybe a counselor first. That way you can determine if you want to go or are able to go through possible hurt. For your own protection.

Yeah, thought of counseller. but went down that road before, it didn't help too much, perhaps cause I didn't let it. So therefore wary of doing same, also, don't want to waste his/her time and my money If the same pattern repeats.
But it's a worthy thought, and something I should look into.

Dear Jaquar,
This post is a little late. My timing.... and didn't notice your response until now. Maybe you went to the wrong counselor who overcharged. There is that trust element process as well. Was the counselor referred and/or recommended? Also a counselor can be a tree or a telephone pole for all that matters. It's interesting that even though you killed the tiger (shows you are strong, POWERFUL and brave!) your dad got attacked again and then drowned. So there could be that issue of feeling powerless which is frustrating yet feelings aren't facts. It could be that you are stronger than your dad.

Interesting on what you say on power and powerlessness. I feel powerless in opening up to my dad with my worries and fears. I don't want to hurt him. but that is something I fear I may do by telling him of my being gayinclined. He's had a few knocks over the years and I don't want to add to his sadness, even though he has overcome them to become stronger.
I don't really see the point in seeing a counseller, talking to a tree has merit, I mean, the tree don't talk back. It's a bit of a conundrum all right. Thanks You've helped. :o)

You're so welcome!!! The nature of a counselor is supposed to be to listen & offer feedback & support to you but some don't listen that well ......& & all that but who says trees don't talk back? Joking. Life issues are confusing.
