Dream Interpretation: My Girlfriend\’s Infidelity in Recurring Dreams

Dream description: Lately I keep dreaming about my girlfriend cheating on me. There was one incident in real life that drove me crazy with anger, though I eventually forgave her. But in these dreams, the rage feels unbearable – sometimes I see the other guy, other times I wake up with my heart pounding violently. Seeing her sleeping peacefully beside me, I know it\’s just a dream yet can\’t shake the fury. I often have to get up, smoke a cigarette to calm down. On 3-4 occasions, I even hit her in the dream out of sheer anger, only to wake up finding I\’d actually struck the real sleeping girlfriend, making her cry while still half-asleep. It\’s absurd yet distressing. These dreams leave me physically exhausted. Once I kicked an open window during such a dream, cutting my foot; another time I punched a nearby chair. Am I developing schizophrenia? How can I stop this? Should I see a psychologist? I\’m at my wit\’s end.

Zhougong\’s interpretation: Your reactions reveal two things: 1) You deeply love your girlfriend despite her past betrayal. 2) You haven\’t truly moved past that incident emotionally, even if you\’ve intellectually forgiven her. This unresolved tension fuels your recurring nightmares. You probably haven\’t shared these feelings with her – hence the midnight smoking sessions. You don\’t have mental illness, but I strongly suggest an open conversation with your girlfriend (without violence!). Voice your struggles before this bottled-up anger harms your health. If you\’re too agitated beforehand, try venting through karaoke or long-distance running. This isn\’t just for you – consider her safety given your sleep-violence episodes.
