Hi buzzcock,

Our body has restored everything what has happened it...what the mind has forgotten and blocked out because of it´s carastheristics...by dreams they start to raise from the unconsiousness to be processed first in dream to give heads up so the chock will be as small as possible.
It do not always has to be true happening..it can also be something your fear so much that it will feel physically pain in your body...
So be brave and face it to be sure what it is....fear or a real happening from your childhood...ask your parents if you have bean sick or hospitalized as an infant....

I send love and curage your way.

Love
ia
