I really enjoyed this article. Dreams are something of great interest to me because I have (or at least before taking Quetiapine every night) very vivid dreams. My dreams are so real that I remember dreams I had decades ago. Most of the time they are pretty metaphorical.

I was not paying much attention to those concerns, trying to gloss over them and avoid them. During this time, I had a recurring dream about a tsunami. The first dream I was okay, many people were. But as the dreams continued, the tsunami's worsened and caused more and more devastation. Interestingly, once I addressed the emotional issues the dreams stopped.
