OK so we all know the idea that dreams are when our subconscious mind is allowed to rise to the surface and express itself through symbols etc.
But i was talking to a friend and we were discussing that kind of dream - you know when a situation seems unsettling, disturbing, or even if you cant remember the dream, when you wake up you remember the feeling of impending doom, nothing bad happened it wasnt a nightmare, but something just feels creepy and wrong and off kilter.
We were wondering...it's such a kind of precise and gothic feeling, one you dont often feel in real life, yet it crops up so much more than other negative feelings in dreams. I mean you're more likely to feel this "crawling" feeling than you are jealousy or hatred or anger or any other negative emotion. Its not even a feeling of fear, its like a horrible gnawing sense of foreboding and paranoia.
Does anyone know what i mean?
If you do - why do we often feel this specific feeling in our dreams?
