I work in the trades and grew up working on stuff with my dad.

I have a recurring stress/anxiety dream in which there is a catastrophic leak in the roof of my parents' house. I'm always desperately trying to fix it but none of my cowtools work and the material is always out of reach or going missing. I'm asking for help from my parents or at least acknowledgement of the situation at hand, but they're always dismissive and tell me that its no big deal. Meanwhile water is cascading into the building and everything is getting ruined. Eventually i become furious and start yelling at my parents, sometimes I start breaking things out of anger.

I'm in my early thirties now and have had my own house for years but this dream always takes place at my parents'.

Why do you think that is? :marseyconfused:

I'm not entirely sure. In the abstract, I think it's partly a control thing. Anxiety over the inability to control the erosion of things in life, and anger in feeling alone in my efforts maybe? In the dream, I'm usually younger, like a kid or teenager.

Outside of the abstract, I'm painfully aware of the damage water can do to a building and I've helped friends and family repair that damage in the past. I don't think this dream is actually about water damage though.

Edit: actually, it probably means I'm gay.
