I've always had either bad dreams or nightmares. A good night's sleep is one where I don't dream at all. Often I wake up in the middle of a dream because they are so terrifying. Themes usually recur - these revolve around cats, dogs and bathrooms...yes the latter may sound amusing but in a dream it is a different story!
The bathroom dreams revolve around me trying to lock myself in a bathroom but either there isn't a lock, the lock is broken - or, if I manage to lock it, I then realise there is a second door, or a window or something along those lines. The reason I'm trying to lock myself in varies but usually it is because someone is trying to attack me and therefore I am trying to lock myself into a room. Recently these dreams have extended to dreams in which I am trying to lock myself into my own house or I realsie that even though I'm locked in there is "something" or someone in the house.
Any thoughts on what this could mean appreciated
RE: dreams for interpretation
may i attempt to interpret your dream:
forgive me if off track but i speak as i find for those who know me!
bathroom - signifies cleanliness/spiritual and or sexual cleanliness, hiding oneself away in order to protect yourself from others either on an emotional or physical level.
Dogs and cats, our greatest friends - could mean that you allow these near you as they are not a threat to you, you know them and dont have to make any conscious effort with them.
house - castle, protection, abode etc, the bathroom signifies, i think, as i detailed above, the house is on a grander scale our home being where we live and where we should feel safe. i believe there is something bothering you on a subconscious level that if you work to sort out you will be fine. do you live alone? try using the mirrors of a night before you go to bed, lie down and imagine that you have mirrors starting from the top of the head all the way down and up the opposite side, finishing where you started the mirrors all facing outwards for protection. this is a very strong protection and will aid restful sleep.
i hope this helps. i also think the house is you/the soul etc so work to protect yourself and things will work out. dont focus on the dream too much often the interpretation is simple but we dont see it.

Hello
yes your interpretation is helpful - thanks for replying. The difficult bit is establishing what it is that is making me feel threatened/unsafe initially.
I'd like to expand more on the cat and dog dreams as I didn't really go into these in detail.
In both of these dreams the scenario is the same, an everyday scene in an everyday environment - walking down the road, etc etc it is a mundane and safe environement but suddenly the scene changes - a huge dog or cat or sometimes a lion will enter the scene and either one of two things will then happen - if it is a dog/lion it will start chasing after people and attacking them. In this scenario I usually get away but the general scene is one of devastation. If it is a domestic cat, it enters the scene and starts to attack me personally but no-one else - everyone else looks on as onlookers but does nothing to help in this scenario.
RE: dreams for interpretation
all i can think it might be related to is do you worry about leaving your cat/dog when you go out to work? maybe subconsciously you do. if you are not sure what the dream means then I wouldnt worry too much about it. often when we have reoccuring, disturbing dreams our body is trying to tell us things, spirit work with us in this way too so i am always remembering my dreams the next day to try and work out what it means. if i have a good dream where i sleep soundly i know i am at peace and all is well, but if i have an unsettling dream i try and interpret myself what it could be related to. there must be something on your mind/playing on your mind and only you will know this. working with the mirrors will help with protection. many people have reoccuring dreams for many many years, i always dream of swimming pools and swimming fast and my interpretation of this is being free, i am on the right track etc. it is important if a dream is worrying you that you find out the root cause. our dreams are a way of our body releasing the day before, anxieties etc so dreaming should be a pleasant experience. i often wonder if this is why people get insomnia as they just dont want to face dreaming.
i am sure you will find out what the cause is if any.
