Dream: The house where I grew up 

Mel has had digestive issues for a long time. Not too big of an issue but always showing up her dreams. She also has the age 2 -3 showing up and wondered why it shows up so much. And lastly, she's been consciously working on masculine energy imbalances as directed by her dreams. Well, here is a beauty of a dream that ties all of these things together.

Dream: Life is confusing

I love dream interpretation. I've devoted over half of my life to studying dreams and using them to help people heal from the trauma their dreams reveal. Dreams see you. And that sense of being seen is a lot for some people. Especially when they have gone through life feeling unseen. People who feel unseen are often abuse survivors. They cower and hide as children because being unseen might stop the abuse. If I am quiet, dad might forget I am here - even if just for now. 

Dee called her dream "Life is confusing". To her, it still is.

She is the most amazing woman. She was a selective mute due to the repeated abuse she suffered. When you are abused, you don't just fear your abuser. You fear so much more. Children don't tell anyone because they feel it is somehow their fault. They think they will get into more trouble for telling. That they will be brutally victimized for causing it. This is not because children are stupid. It is because they are wise and they know how to survive. Mom won't side with dad if I don't tell her. That would be even more unbearable. I will hide and cry inwardly. And maybe mom or someone else will notice my withdrawal and save me because I am too small to save myself.

Dee didn't even talk in school. Her teacher didn't think anything of it. The first time she did talk, her teacher brought another teacher over to hear her cute southern accent. But she couldn't get her to talk again. She refused to speak in school for another 6 months. Her teacher just returned to just passing her by. Teachers do not have the training. They should, but they don't. As a result of her first verbal interaction, Dee chose to lose her southern accent because it made her stand out. She must never stand out. That leads to abuse.
