If it does, something in my subconscious would have to cause it. I can't really think of anything that's consciously a threat to me, at least in that regard.

I was thinking more in terms of a loss of control over something, not necessarily a direct threat. Thinking of men/masculinity/penises as, traditionally, being associated with control and dominance.

Oh, we'll in that respect, my life is pretty out of control, but that's not abnormal for me. I haven't exactly been stable since I got out of the military 6 years ago. Nothing major has happened in that regard in a long time though.

I"ve had dreams of that nature before with nothing I'm consciously aware of causing it.

Years ago I dreamed I was living at my grandmother's old apartment and I came home from grocery shopping and went upstairs to the apartment. Still holding my grocery bag, I see a figure dangling from the rafters between the living room and kitchen. I got a closer look and it was me, hanging there with my face from the bottom of the nose down torn or gouged out, leaving a huge void where the mouth would have been.

To this day, I can't imagine what brought that on. But I never forgot it.

To me, these figures, like the shallow me and the ones on the plane, are like zombies, figures with no consciousness or purpose other than being someone else's moment of sick pleasure.

i have often wondered if some one was capable of watching my dreams and influencing them for their sick entertainment.as it stands i do look into the supernatural and dream analysis.the dream sound oddly familiar
