Do I have repressed memories?
I don't know, do you? What is it that makes you think you do?
I just have strange events that seem to come out in my dreams. I often have bad dreams
and I am not sure of the reason why.
Could it be eating a pepperoni pizza at Midnight?
Very funny, no it has nothing to do with that. This is a serious subject.
What do your dreams consist of?
They usually consist of someone attacking me or chasing me.
I know you had a rough childhood, were you ever molested as a child?
I don't really recall, but I do have these dreams and some vague fuzzy memories of being
touched.
It sounds like you really could have repressed memories.
Well, these are the things that I don't like to remember.
I don't blame you for that. You know that you could see a mental health professional
that specializes in repressed memories.
I know that I could. I just am not sure that I want to spend the money.
If it would help stop your nightmares it might be worthwhile. However, some people think
that the recovery of repressed memories is just a sham.
Oh really?
Yes, because there is a tendency for repressed memories to be contaminated with false memories.
There is a debate about this now in psychological circles.
It may be helpful though to look into it.
I would like to get a good nights sleep for once. I don't like waking up with a start.
I can't blame you for that. Maybe in the meantime though you can eat a pepperoni pizza at Midnight,
since you are already having nightmares.
Yeah, I may as well do so. It seems like these repressed memories may be here for a while.
