Disturbingly real || Contest-147 [ENG-ESP]

English


Greetings dear Ladies and Gentlemen of this community.

I am very happy to join the participation in Ladies of Hive Contest #147. From the proposals to develop that @brittandjosie brings us this time, I will tell you about a recurring dream that affected me for years. Sharing it with you, in this wonderful community will also have a liberating effect. So let's get started.

But I must tell you that my drawing skills are not desirable ones, however, I think I have the potential for collages and I really enjoy making them with royalty-free images. Going back and forth, thinking about what image to put, I decided to represent it graphically as a collage, I hope you like the idea.

Disturbingly real

When I was about eight years old, a recurring dream started, it was very intense and affected my sleep. I would wake up very agitated, sweaty and crying uncontrollably. Unintentionally, it affected my mother's and father's nights of rest. This dream was present for a long time and strong emotions such as nostalgia could provoke its appearance, as I perceived it.

In particular, this dream was always associated with a single physical space, which was the school. The dream consisted of me going to school, with everything in order, hair, skirt, blouse, and polished school shoes, but there was a detail, I went without socks. I could not perceive it, until others discovered it, either by the attention of the authorities or by the teasing and taunting of my classmates.

Mom has always been zealous and careful with details. And so she reinforced this over the years in me, strengthening my habits of responsibility, encouraging the importance of cleanliness and good appearance. When the unpleasant dream came, I was always at school. That feeling in the dream was really scary and very vivid. Sometimes I was teased, in class or in the playground. Several times I was taken to the school management for not complying with the uniform.

Faced with the disturbing recurrence of sleep, my parents made some changes. The light of my night lamp began to remain on but at a very low intensity, giving me a sense of well-being and confidence. Dietary changes were made with light dinners, associated with warm milk and cereals such as oatmeal. TV programs were supervised, nothing that would trigger strong emotions. Despite good intentions, little change was obtained.

It was necessary to resort to professional help, my pediatrician suggested a child psychologist and that is how the therapies began. As a background, I had lost my grandmother Titi, my mother's mother, she lived with us and was very special to me, we were inseparable.

Thus the psychotherapist was joining and intertwining facts and experiences, determining the association of my dream, a product of my resistance and denial, to accept the loss of my grandmother. The lack of socks was my emptiness, something very much mine that was no longer there. The therapies were valuable, I think that parents should be very aware of signs in their children to act in time and avoid greater affectations. It was not easy at the age of eight to accept the loss of a loved one.

That's how Tobi came into my life. My cat, his presence was healing, he became my friend of mischief, my faithful companion for twelve years, until he too had to leave...I miss you grandma Titi.

Thanks for your visit, see you soon.

Saludos queridas Damas y Caballeros de esta comunidad.

Estoy muy contenta de unirme a la participación en Ladies of Hive Concurso #147. De las propuestas a desarrollar que nos trae @brittandjosie en esta ocasión, les contaré sobre un sueño recurrente que me afectó durante años. Compartirlo con ustedes, en esta maravillosa comunidad también tendrá un efecto liberador. Así que comencemos.

Pero debo decirles que mis habilidades para dibujar no son las deseables, sin embargo, creo que tengo potencial para los collages y disfruto mucho haciéndolos con imágenes libres de derechos. Yendo de aquí para allá, pensando qué imagen colocar, decidí representarlo gráficamente como un collage, espero que les guste la idea.

Inquietantemente real

Cuando tenía unos ocho años, empezó un sueño recurrente, era muy intenso y afectaba mi sueño. Me despertaba muy agitada, sudorosa y llorando descontroladamente. Sin querer, afectaba las noches de descanso de mi madre y de mi padre. Este sueño estuvo presente durante mucho tiempo y emociones fuertes como la nostalgia podían provocar su aparición, según yo lo percibía.

En particular, este sueño siempre estaba asociado a un único espacio físico, que era la escuela. El sueño consistía en que yo iba a la escuela, con todo en orden, cabello, falda, blusa y zapatos escolares lustrados, pero había un detalle, iba sin calcetines. Yo no podía percibirlo, hasta que otros lo descubrían, ya fuera por la atención de las autoridades o por las burlas y mofas de mis compañeros.

Mamá siempre ha sido celosa y cuidadosa con los detalles. Y así lo reforzó a lo largo de los años en mí, fortaleciendo mis hábitos de responsabilidad, fomentando la importancia de la limpieza y la buena presencia. Cuando llegaba el desagradable sueño, siempre estaba yo en la escuela. Esa sensación en el sueño era realmente aterradora y muy vívida. A veces se burlaban de mí, en clase o en el patio. Varias veces me llevaron a la dirección del colegio por no cumplir con el uniforme.

Ante la inquietante recurrencia del sueño, mis padres hicieron algunos cambios. La luz de mi lámpara de noche empezó a permanecer encendida pero a muy baja intensidad, lo que me dio una sensación de bienestar y confianza. Se hicieron cambios dietéticos con cenas ligeras, asociadas a leche caliente y cereales como la avena. Se supervisaron los programas de televisión, nada que desencadenara emociones fuertes. A pesar de las buenas intenciones, se obtuvieron pocos cambios.

Fue necesario recurrir a ayuda profesional, mi pediatra sugirió un psicólogo infantil y así empezaron las terapias. Como antecedente, había perdido a mi abuela Titi, la madre de mi madre, vivía con nosotros y era muy especial para mí, éramos inseparables.

Así, la psicoterapeuta fue uniendo, entrelazando hechos y vivencias, determinando la asociación de mi sueño, producto de mi resistencia y negación, a aceptar la pérdida de mi abuela. La falta de calcetines era mi vacío, algo muy mío que ya no estaba. Las terapias fueron valiosas, creo que los padres deben estar muy atentos a las señales en sus hijos para actuar a tiempo y evitar afectaciones mayores. No fue fácil a los ocho años aceptar la pérdida de un ser querido.

Así llegó Tobi a mi vida. Mi gato, su presencia fue sanadora, se convirtió en mi amigo de travesuras, mi fiel compañero durante doce años, hasta que él también tuvo que marcharse...Te extraño abuelito Titi.

Gracias por tu visita, hasta pronto.

En ocasiones nuestros sueños son representaciones de cosas que nos aquejan, así nuestra mente ante nuestra insistencia inconscientemente lo repite una y otra vez. No siempre es así, pero al parecer fue lo que a tí te ocurrió. Tu abuelita desde donde esté siempre te cuidará y velará por tí, nunca lo olvides @almajandra

So, now you miss Tobi and Titi! Time to get a new cat (friend)! Young people often form close bonds with their animals, and I have seen so far that quite a few people have been raised by their grandmother or grandfather. It is a much different upbringing then.
Cool that you are dealing with it now okay, yes?
The pictures are beautiful! Nice work on those.

Yes, @jamerussell I have had a hard time getting over the losses and perhaps because of that, they went into my dreams, recurring over and over again. Even though we know that death will come, we are not prepared to lose our loved ones. The situation was some time ago and I have been getting over it. Animals, they brighten our lives and are a source of valuable teachings.
Thank you for your compliments on my images, I really enjoy making collages.
Thank you for your comment and for the reward, appreciated :)

You and your therapist did great! Dreams are repertoire of our repressed memories and they yearn to come out. Sometimes they meddle with our life which can be annoying. I am glad that you sought a professional to "dream work" with you. All the best! !PGM

Thank you very much @mdasein for your kind comment. Very good opinion and you are very right, when you act in time you can avoid greater evils. We are as adults, what we have lived as children and that is where our fears flourish or are negatively reinforced. My best wishes to you too! !LUV
