2.16 OxygeniumDream: My brother is teasing and taunting me. I try not to respond, but it only makes things worse. Eventually he starts to tug at me and break my things. So I have to start a fight with him. I feel that I am physically and mentally much stronger than him so I win the fight. Afterwards I go to my parents’ room to discuss this endless quarrelling. My brother wants to come too, but I try to stop him because he will only continue his taunts. My father sends him out of the room. I enter the room and notice that my mother is already talking with my girlfriend about this problem. She says that quarrels are often caused by in laws. I object and tell her that it is my own family who are doing it.
The feeling in this dream is one of anger that I have to engage in a fight, that I can’t avoid it.
Dream: my brother, my mother and I were going to deliver some stuff to someone. I was loading a lot of boxes into the car and a little trailer. While I was shutting the boot of the car my brother suddenly drove off. I ran after him but after about 50 yards I stopped, thinking: ‘What am I doing running after him?’ So I slowed down to a walk. My brother immediately slowed down the car too, but he did not stop until he had reached the end of the road. He got out and said with a smirk: ‘Why can’t you walk a bit faster?’ So I slapped him. Then he said: ‘Why are you doing that, how could I know that you weren’t in the car yet?’ I was convinced that he had known and that he had just been trying to annoy me.
