First off, I\u2019m a 33 year old male. I recently stopped doing drugs and drinking alcohol. I have been sober for 6 months. I am in the process of making amends for the damage I caused through my addictions. I am also trying to resolve the resentments I have.<\/p>\n<p>I was back in high school. I had a lot of trouble back then. I was picked on, beaten up, and ostracized by the \u201cin\u201d crowd. I always hated them. I thought I had gotten over this a long time ago. I hadn\u2019t even thought about this in a while. Still I had this dream about it. I think I was in the lunch room. I was getting picked on again. I finally had enough. I blew up in front of everyone. I cussed them all out. Students, teachers, and the principal. I currently go to Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings. Some of the people I go to meetings with were there. The principal was the person who ran the treatment center I went to 6 months ago. After I raged at all of them, I left and started walking down the road away from the school. Now, some of the students were outside. They kept on harrassing me. I saw a piece of rusty metal laying on the ground. I picked it up and it was a kind of square shape, like part of a belt buckle. I held it in my hand like brass knuckles and hit one of the guys. This was one of the ones who treated me badly in school. I hit him a couple of times in the head and then I got away. Next thing I know I\u2019m at home. I\u2019m talking to my Dad, something I rarely did or even do now. I tell him all about it. Then I tell him I want to go to a different school. He says it might cause problems, but if that\u2019s what I want to do, I can. Then after I woke up, I was very angry for a while.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure if this makes any sense to anyone else. Hell, it doesn\u2019t make sense to me. That was so long ago and thought I had gotten over it. Maybe there is some resentment left that I must resolve, I\u2019m not sure. I would welcome any insight anyone has on this dream.<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">&#8211;Jim, Age 33, Lamesa, TX, USA<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For the interpretation of the dream, click<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/addictions-2\/\" id=\"138\" option=\"com_content\">here<\/a><br \/><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to list of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/common-dreams\/\" id=\"27\" option=\"com_content\">common dreams<\/a><\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[2957,2956],"class_list":["post-35407","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-addiction","category-common-dreams-question"],"acf":{"article_id":"137"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/35407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
