HELP with a recurring dream., A recurring bad dream comes back Options

I'm gonna post this in bits in fear of the whole thing disappearing . I'll edit as I go.

I used to have a recurring dream of a powerful force holding/pinning me down whilst I was dreaming , this continued from when I was a kid to my early years to perhaps my mid teens. Its been easily over a decade and now they have come back , it started again two nights ago.

The first time this happened I cannot remember how I came to be in that state , nor the sequence , but I felt a strong force of some sort pinning me down . It bordered on overwhelming but not enought so as not to totally immobalize me , I was able to move , although only slightly but enough to struggle against the force and perhaps overcome it , (I cannot clearly remember) .

It was two nights ago after I meditated and went to sleep . Having this dream and waking up from it only about an hour after falling asleep although it felt much longer , I was to my surprise wide awake and fully alert , so I had a cigarette and went back to sleep. No Dramas , I woke up feeling energized which is not the norm for me.

Last night I meditated and went to sleep at about the same time to have the same dream . However this time I remember most of it .
Their was a girl in her late teens to her early twenties dressed in a grey-white nightgown standing on the ledge atop a fireplace in a colourless , bland room , almost like that of the movie "The Others" , cleaning a grey wall , the room was cold in its tone , feeling and unfurnished . She was caught up in what she was doing and did not pay me any attention or did not notice my presence .Their was something familiar about her , an Ex-girlfriend perhaps she had long free flowing hair , but the familiarity , I dont think ended their ,come to think of it she came across to me as a servent girl , or what have you . Then the dream would switch.

Now , Im faced with two sprite/dryad like beings asking me to sing in return for sensual favours , the scene is mostly faded from my memory but I do recall a T.V. screen in the backround . The Dryads would appraoch me to sing then they or others would be revealed to me on the screen with acts or scenery turning my blood hot. The last time they approached me they asked me to sing them love songs , so I did , I only do a bit of Karaoke now and then , so I'm not a singer by anyones standards. As I sang a love song , the dream switched back to the girl in grey.

As I looked up at the young lady , and given the way I was feeling I asked her to come down from the fireplace. From then onwards the dream suddenly stopped as I was pinned down by a great force , this time much more potent than the previous nights , I could not move or open my eyes no matter how I tried , I desperatly wanted to break free from the hold that this force had over me , I cannot recall how long I struggled , but I woke up to Notice that I'd only been asleep for about an hour , and that I was once again wide awake and alert. And yes the time was about the same , however I felt that I'd once again been asleep much longer.

Some Facts.
When I was a baby we lived in a very large house passed down from grandparents.
It was only about three years ago , that my mums suspicions of having black magic cast against her were proven true , I had black magic cast against me as well , even though i was only a kid and innocent . I was a spaced out kid until I reached high school when things started coming into focus .
Somebody obviously had it in for us , My mum was accused for being a Russian Spy and so forth during the Chinese Cultural Revoution amongst other lies.

I'm trying to find a link to this house and the black magic . The same individual who got busted in the act of placing a stone and ash at our door step has not only moved to the same country but same town , half a world away.
This has to stop. ALL Helpful suggestions are welcomed.

interesting.
reality does not exist on its own, its just perception trough 5 or 6 senses.
Then these perceptions are interpreted. You can interpret most things any way you like, with some training.

I sometimes feel as if I'm bound, as if someone stripped me of something when i was small. Perhaps its a common problem, perhaps that is why some people are seeking on forums like these.

either way, there must be some answer to many problems in your dream, since a recurring dream is often very important. I don't understand your dream though, its a riddle to me.

Also, the way some images made you feel are most of the times very important.
Did the Grey wall seem dull to you, did you want a white wall, a white dress. Was the fireplace hot, did you feel uncomfortable by its heat.

Perhaps the girl on the fireplace was you, but another part of you. Perhaps she was an icon of something, like all your past relationships.

The driads are probably icons as well, of something love-sensual related, perhaps in combination with the girl something may be clarified.

Then the force pinning you down seems highly interesting, it could mean you do not have control over the matter, and that you highly dislike the lack of control.
perhaps you are in conflict, a choice between the driads and the girl.
Perhaps ...

I don't know actually, the images and the feelings you got must be considered using the full knowledge of your life, which only you have.
They are highly relevant to your own mind, and may mean different things to you than to me. At least that is what i think.
