Understand My Dreams

Dreams attic

Hello, I would like to discuss a dream I had last night that has made me somewhat frightened most of the day. My dream started out in a house that was similar to mine, but the rooms seemed to be smaller and narrow. What I can remember is that there was a little girl I could not see her face but her back was covered with tattoos, under each tattoo was a tattooed phrase. I could not read the phrases and the more and more I tried the more difficult it became. I did not know where this girl came from but I was trying to help her escape and hide from this monster/man who was chasing us. He was a man but looked like a demon/man. My husband ended up in the dream and I kept yelling for him to help me and this little girl but this demon/man kept coming. I could almost feel him standing next to me. My only thought was I needed to protect this little girl and figure out why she had these tattoo's on her back and what the phrases meant. This man continued to keep chasing until I was in my bedroom and in my bedroom is a door that leads to my attic. I felt him standing there. I remember that I kept screaming and yelling for my husband to help me. Finally after all this time I turned the little girl around to see her face and it was me as a little girl. I woke at this point and was in such fear and felt that demon/man was in my room. I could not fall back to sleep. What do you think this means. It has stayed with me all day and I am freaked out by this.

I am a frequent 'epic dreamer'; and have more recently experienced 'lucid dreams' where I can change, or manipulate, my dream to my own liking. These dreams are sweeping and beautiful, massive in scale, and can feature mountain ranges, valleys, vast moorlands, oceans, islands, lonely beaches or beautiful villages in the snow. They seem to go on for hours, uninterrupted, and I can recall every single detail for years afterwards. They all, without exception, feature an enormous house (different every time) and nearly all feature sex with an unknown man, who is always different and doesn't look like anyone I know. The house is always huge, isolated, gothic, empty, mostly derelict, with hundreds of rooms and the dream predominantly features me, either alone or with this man, discovering rooms. I am always excited, sometimes sexually exicted in these houses; somewhere in the dream is the knowledge that the house belongs to me and I'm discovering it for the first, most exciting, time, and deciding what I can do with it. I explore attics, cellars, staircases and bedrooms, but I always seems to linger for a long time by windows, gazing longingly out the the incredible view, or by enormous fireplaces, looking into the flames. Sometimes the house is truly derelict and haunted but I'm not scared, just in awe of its beauty and amount of rooms. There is always a very lucid feeling of real excitement in the dream and this usually turns to sexual excitement as the man in the dream makes his move on me. It can be incredibly intense and romantic, and the feeling stays with me for days or weeks. Sometimes years! Less frequently (once a month maybe) I feel such intense grief in a dream I wake up with my pillow wet and I'm depressed for days. Yet I never know why I was grieving. The only feeling that remains with me is that I've lost something and can never find it ever again. Sometimes in my dream I decide it's not romantic or gorgeous enough, and I can go back and change the crucial scene to my liking. I am even discussing this in my dream with myself, saying 'hang on - I could have been more heroic or powerful in that scene. Let's go back and do it again'. So I do, but improve on the outcome. All my dreams are so beautiful, and so epic in scale and emotion, that they exhaust me and real life seems very dull and ugly and unromantic in comparison.
