It should be said that the plot in the dream may not be reasonable, and the mood at that time may not be in harmony with the dream, but there are no people and things you are familiar with in this dream, so it seems that it only reflects your vague memory of an emotion or feeling. What you recalled before gave me the feeling that what you faced seemed to be a rigid and repetitive law, which could not be changed and controlled at high speed. You can only passively wait for it to become stronger and stronger until what you cherish is irresistibly destroyed. I wonder if my description reminds you of anything?
And you said that this dream started when I was very young, so I think it is more likely that a negative emotion emerges in my memory, which is associated with words such as uncontrollable, rigid, heartless and indifferent.
Dreams are private documents after all. The above analysis is actually my guess. Because I don't know your specific situation, life experience and family background, it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of dream interpretation. However, from the perspective of emotional dream interpretation, whatever you see in your dream reflects something in your subconscious, and the emotions you feel in your dream should be related to your life and real. When you encounter some troubles, setbacks and difficulties in reality, you will naturally have various negative emotions, such as anxiety, panic, fear and so on. After you fall asleep, no matter how the plot changes in your dream, the emotions that emerge in your dream should be the real emotions accumulated and suppressed in your heart.
Interpretation of dreams, whether scientific or illusory, is to face life better. Therefore, when you act in reality, change yourself and become calm and happy, your nightmare will naturally dissipate. I wish you happiness.
