Deja Vu?

Page 64 From Caruth:
"Dreams occuring in traumatic neuroses have the characteristic of repeatedly bringing the patient back into the situation of his accident, a situation from which he wakes up in another fright. "

- When I read this passage, I could only think of what my dream was like two nights ago. I am not pleased to say, but yes, on New Years Eve this year I got jumped (or beat up if you will). Long story short, I was held down by two guys when another two were giving me body shots and a couple of hits to the face... Happy New Year huh? LOL. Anyways, two nights ago might have been Deja Vu for me. I was sound asleep when, in my dream, I was on the ground getting beat up.. The dream was just 'so real' to me.. I remembered like it was yesterday.. The last thing I remembered (in my dream before I woke up) was the face of The Joker. Yes, in my dream for some strange reason it was The Joker from Batman that was beating me up.. Ha ha.. I remember when I woke up I looked right at the clock, it was 3:30am, and looked around my room, in fear of someone being there.
-From the reading by Caruth, I thought it was very interesting that I had just experienced something that we are talking about in class.. Until next time.....
